Atypical cruises on ORC57

Our racer-cruiser high-performance catamaran “Avel Vaez” promises great sailing moments

The ORC57 #3 catamaran, one of the most powerful catamarans ever built

Come aboard ORC57 number 3, delivered by ORC Catamarans in early 2024!

The name Avel Vaez, which means “Offshore Wind” in Breton language, was not chosen by chance:
the third ORC57 is a lightweight, high-performance catamaran, capable of sailing in all weathers.
Often sailing faster than the wind!

An exceptional sail boat

Passionate about sailing, we set out to build – in France, in the Breton town of Lorient – the most accomplished sailing catamaran on the market. After several months of construction, we won our bet: Avel Vaez is one of the best high-performance catamarans ever built, as well as one of the fastest catamarans in the world!

Today, we’re delighted to make it available to you, for fast, atypical cruises with family, colleagues or friends.

It’s simple: Avel Vaez is an exceptional catamaran, as your sailing should be!

Catamaran rental beyond the norm

Whether you’re looking to cruise or race, for leisure or a corporate event, we offer you the chance to enjoy a unique experience. On board Avel Vaez, your sailing experience will be quite different from that offered aboard a standard rental catamaran!

Alone, as a couple, with family or friends… On the exceptional catamaran that is Avel Vaez, you’ll enjoy optimized sailing:

  • Our catamaran is particularly efficient under sail, even in light airs. A little air is enough to make it sail at wind speed, or even faster. Forget the long, boring tacks you're used to, at low speed or under motor: on Avel Vaez, you'll be able to complete your crossings under sail in record time!
  • Thanks to our boat's capabilities, you can easily reach remote destinations. Compared with a classic catamaran charter, Avel Vaez will enable you to spend the same number of days on board and discover places that no other sailboat can reach in the same time.
  • Whatever your crossing time, you'll have the opportunity to be the first yacht to arrive at the next anchorage. You'll then be able to choose the best buoy or anchorage!
  • During your stopover, you'll be able to spend more time enjoying your activities. For example, you can explore your port of call, swim, snorkel or dive! You can also take your time before leaving the mooring area, and enjoy, for example, a Stand Up Paddle ride at sunrise...

A professional crew

Throughout the year and all over the world, Avel Vaez is operated by a professional crew, ensuring fast, safe sailing for all passengers. When you come aboard the ORC57, you’ll have the opportunity to take part in maneuvers and navigation.

Spacious and comfortable

Avel Vaez is a very comfortable catamaran, with particularly convivial interior and exterior spaces. From the beginning to the end of your cruise, everything will be organized by our team. Meals and activities on board, too, will be organized to minimize the boat’s impact on the environment as much as possible. There’s no doubt about it: you’ll enjoy an exceptional onboard experience on our catamaran!

Client feedback

  • The yacht is really extraordinary, very fast, particularly well equipped. Life on board is very comfortable: two bathrooms, always hot water, two fridges and a freezer, four large cabins… There’s really a lot of space. Christian, the skipper, is very friendly and competent. I always felt safe, even though it was quite windy at times. I’ll definitely be sailing this catamaran again! Thanks to the crew and to Avel-Marine, who initiated this great project.
