Bijoux stands as an exceptional beauty, embodying the unwavering dedication of her owners to elevate her to unparalleled heights.
Her transformation is remarkable, encompassing a fully redesigned helm station, a meticulously refitted and redesigned sunbed equipped with solar panels, new clears and an awning enclosing the rear deck and helm station, all bathroom refits, customised sea-decking, and both running rigging and fixed rigging that have been recently restored. In essence, Bijoux represents a unique evolution of the Salina 48.
Renowned for their efficient hull design and impressive sailing characteristics, the Salina 48 EVOLUTIONS is one of the highest regarded catamarans. Bijoux has demonstrated this both in her extensive cruising capabilities and performance at regattas and rallies (including a first place at the Hamilton Island Race Week in 2025).
Designed by naval architect Berret Racoupeau, this refined and streamlined version of the standard Salina boasts many impressive features.
Conceived for self-sufficiency without relying on shore power or a generator, her onboard systems, supported by a robust battery storage and inverter capability, offer an exceptional offshore lifestyle that enables the complete utilisation of contemporary amenities.
The helm station serves as a central hub for navigating the vessel. It provides comprehensive protection from the elements, comfortable and srylish and practical allowing full access to all sail, trimming, and electronic controls. Furthermore, it facilitates inclusion with your crew or guests onboard without any sense of isolation.
Equipped with a watermaker, Starlink connectivity, ample refrigeration, impressive storage, a fully equipped kitchen galley, and beyond-the-norm entertainment areas, a full deck 360 sound system, five Smart TVs, underwater lights, and more, this vessel caters to every need.
