KSS 58 “Ocean Jedi” – Custom Blue-Water Performance Catamaran
This KELSALL 58 KSS is a well-maintained sailing catamaran, designed by renowned multihull designer Derek Kersall and built by Ballotta Catamarans in 2009. A proven offshore design, she offers generous space, stability and excellent autonomy for long-range cruising or liveaboard use.
She features a comfortable 4-cabin layout with ensuite heads, a bright galley-up configuration, and durable interior finishes. Powered by twin Volvo Penta D3-110 diesel engines, both fully overhauled in 2025, she cruises efficiently at 7–8 knots with a maximum speed of 12–14 knots.
Energy independence is enhanced by two Northern Lights 12 kW generators, an inverter, lithium batteries replaced in 2022, and seven solar panels (totalling more than 1,400 W). Navigation equipment includes GPS/chart plotters, radar, autopilot, wind instruments, VHF and EPIRB.
Additional highlights include the Coppercoat treatment (2021), electric winches, electric windlass with dual controls, bow thrusters, watermakers, a liferaft for eight persons, and recent upgrades, including new cockpit flooring and large windows.
A solid and capable bluewater cruising catamaran, waiting for her next owner. Price is open to offers and can be discussed.
The owner has also shared the following background on the yacht’s cruising history:
“Ocean Jedi handles blue water well. She was built in Peru in 2009. I sailed it up the coast of South America, and through the canal, and into the Caribbean for years. Most repairs and improvements in Aruba. (I added things like bow thrusters, the Flir augmented reality and night vision system, and two Raymarine axioms 12 with radar ). Then, right before covid, we sailed from St. Martin to Bermuda and then on to the Azores and into Southern Portugal, eventually to Lagos. On the way to Bermuda, we traveled though a 55 knot storm without any damage to the boat at all.
She has sailed from various places in the Caribbean to Baltimore (with the gulf stream) and down again several times. She also went through a hurricane on the dock in Puerto Rico (I think it was Puerto Del Rey), more than 10 years ago. (No one was on board at the time). No damage to the boat although some of the tie down lines chafed. I have no problem sailing her back to the USA or Caribbean now.”

Additional Information
Ocean Jedi is a true long-range performance catamaran, custom-built for serious blue-water cruising and fundamentally different from today’s lighter production multihulls. She is a heavy, strong, and exceptionally safe offshore yacht, designed for extended ocean passages and liveaboard comfort.
Proven Blue-Water History
Ocean Jedi has an outstanding and well-documented offshore track record. She has been sailed:
From Lima (Peru) through the Panama Canal
For over 10 years throughout the Caribbean
Repeatedly along the U.S. East Coast
From the Caribbean to Europe via Bermuda and the Azores
The yacht has safely experienced two hurricanes while securely docked and multiple extreme offshore conditions, including winds exceeding 60 mph and seas up to 20 feet. Throughout her life, the hull has never shown structural issues, fractures, or loss of integrity, confirming the robustness of her construction.
The design naturally lifts the bow and minimises bridge-deck slamming, contributing to exceptional comfort and safety offshore—something that is immediately noticeable at sea.
Construction & Design
Model: KSS 58
Builder: Ballotta (Peru) – custom yacht builder
Type: Performance cruising catamaran
Ballotta built four KSS 58 yachts, two with galley-up layouts and two with galley-down configurations. Ocean Jedi features the galley-up layout, widely considered the most desirable arrangement in this size and category, offering superior light, ventilation, and social living space.
Interior & Liveaboard Comfort
Ocean Jedi offers:
Large, comfortable cabins
Generous living areas
Excellent ventilation and visibility
Practical layout designed for long-term living and circumnavigation
Her interior volume and layout make her an ideal yacht for extended cruising, ocean crossings, or full-time liveaboard use.
Maintenance & Professional Care
The yacht has been meticulously maintained throughout her life:
Regular shipyard maintenance
Almost always professionally crewed
Captain aboard for over 10 years, ensuring consistent care and oversight
The long-term captain is a licensed captain and trained diesel mechanic, providing an exceptional level of mechanical and operational attention.
Standing Rigging
Standing rigging replaced: June 2019
Location: St. Martin
Company: FKG Marine (Cole Bay, Sint Maarten)
The replacement was completed just prior to the transatlantic crossing from the Caribbean to Europe.
Refit & Works in Progress
A major refit program has just been completed in 2025 in Port Ginesta, Barcelona:
Full overhaul of both Volvo engines, shaft lines, gearboxes, and propellers
Complete engine room refit
Servicing and commissioning of Northern Lights generators
Rigging adjustments
Removal and inspection of both rudder blades
Installation of three new air-conditioning units
Refit of both watermakers
Reactivation of Coppercoat antifouling and Propspeed application on shafts
Gelcoat touch-ups on deck
Mainsail repair
Before being officially launched on the market, the yacht also received:
Deep interior cleaning
Ownership & Registration
Ocean Jedi is owned by a USA corporation, offering flexibility in the transaction structure (asset or share sale).
She was registered as a pleasure craft and obtained a MIRAD waiver for charter activity in U.S. waters, confirming importation compliance prior to any U.S. tariffs.
Summary
Ocean Jedi is a rare opportunity to acquire a custom-built, proven blue-water catamaran with exceptional offshore capability, generous living space, and a maintenance history that reflects professional ownership and care.
She is ideally suited for:
Ocean crossings
Circumnavigation
Serious long-range cruising
Full-time liveaboard life
A yacht for sailors who value strength, safety, and real offshore performance over light construction and volume-driven production designs.

Chuck at The Multihull Company is the real deal.
He helped us find our Lagoon 40 after genuinely listening to what we needed, not just what he had to sell. He let us visit the boat multiple times, answered every question honestly, and helped us make a confident decision on a major purchase.
What impressed us most was the post-sale support. Once the paperwork was signed, Chuck was still picking up the phone, offering referrals, and helping us work through the early stages of liveaboard life. That kind of follow-through is rare.
If you are looking for a multihull and want someone who knows the boats and actually cares about the outcome, Chuck is the person to call.
We just purchased a 2025 Nautitech 44 Open with The Multihull Company. The process of getting here has been great, and we could not have asked for a better agent. We worked with Conor, whom we met at the 2025 Cannes Boat Show. We started our search for a cruising catamaran in Florida at the beginning of the year. We spent a couple of months looking at different boats/models within our price range and quickly narrowed it down to what really mattered to us, in part thanks to the wealth of knowledge and expertise our broker provided. When we found a perfect match in Montenegro, Conor and The Multihull Company did not hesitate to continue supporting us and to lead the efforts from start to finish with great care and transparency. Communication and support have been outstanding throughout this entire process. Conor, in particular, showed great compassion and care, going above and beyond to ensure that no stone was left unturned and that we would be able to safely and happily sail off into our big adventure.
A sale well handled. No inflated expectations and an honest opinion throughout. Highly recommended.
Absolutely THE ONLY company to use for buying or selling a catamaran! Our Broker Andrew Hodgdon, was excellent to work with, an experienced catamaran captain with extensive knowledge of sailing catamarans, the ins and outs of the construction, performance, systems, everything involved and life on board catamarans. All of which is invaluable in looking for the right boat for someone to buy or helping market your boat when selling. The Multihull Company is so connected in the catamaran world and used by so many catamaran sailors and searchers that we had an interested buyer before our boat was even listed and a completed sale 60 days after her first showing!!! Thanks Andrew and all of the Multihull team who worked diligently to make it happen so smoothly!
We had a great experience working with Andrew! He was extremely knowledgeable and listened to our needs of what we wanted our next boat to be. He responded quickly to all of our requests and got us to the finish line. Working with Multihull was seamless and we highly recommend using Andrew and Multihull.
