ZINGARA has had a lot of interior work since last year - new carpets and upholstery and more paintwork and non skit on deck.
This is an ideal boat for doing tandem charters with TRANQUILITY. She is the same built, so there will be no boat envy.
With ZINGARA you get a lot of boat for your money!

I loved Zingara so much that I ended up returning three times! First, with the mission of taking pictures for one of our brokers who was about to charter her. Then, to chat more with the crew, who had made a great impression. And lastly, for the Yacht Hop, where Zingara’s crew had a fantastic surprise waiting for us all!
Zingara is an older model catamaran, and that comes with some advantages: Unlike many newer models (like Balis, where the rigging is more for show than for actual sailing), Zingara was built for both luxurious living and sailing. You will be able to experience the magical feeling of turning off the engines and moving by pure wind force.
One thing we always check extra with older yachts is their condition, and Zingara is impeccably maintained. With a fresh, full paint job inside and out, she looks as good as new.
The interior is beautifully laid out, with 1 master cabin and 4 VIP cabins, each styled in its own uplifting color scheme. The main saloon feels luxurious, vibrant, and welcoming, with thoughtful details like stunning artwork and a huge carved wooden turtle beside the dining table.
The galley is a standout—large, well-equipped, and visually inviting. Unlike the industrial, hidden galleys you see on many yachts today, this one is consistent with the aesthetics. It helps that it’s home to Chef Ed Stacey, a great character as much as a great chef!
On deck, Zingara offers something truly unique. The flybridge connects over the top to the foredeck, so you can walk directly down to the trampolines. Between the trampolines is a swim ladder that can be lowered at anchor, creating an ideal swim platform—a rare feature that makes the foredeck a perfect spot for water lovers.
Zingara offers an exceptional diving experience with 12 tanks, an onboard air compressor, BCDs, weight sets, and dive lights available for up to 10 divers. Certified divers can enjoy up to four dives, including night dives, all included in the charter. Resort courses and referral Open Water certifications are also available, with practical training included in the charter fee (PADI e-learning is paid separately).
