The ship
A true multi-activity platform, this maxi catamaran aims to combine sustainable tourism, scientific expeditions, photo-video expeditions, and awareness workshops for schools and the general public.
Based in Nouméa, this vessel is an ideal solution for location catamaran Nouméa projects and maritime initiatives in catamaran Nouvelle Calédonie environments.
The space offered can accommodate an entire class for the day, a sea class during school holidays, or even the setup of a scientific laboratory and a small conference room for associated events. This flexibility makes the vessel perfectly suited for educational, professional, and experiential activities across catamaran Nouvelle Calédonie waters.
A bit of history
Building the Catamaran
The Nautilus 360 is a vessel built in 2004 in Saint-Malo by the builder Étoile Marine, for Mr. Escoffier. It was initially designed to follow boats in regattas. It was then used as a charter vessel in the south of France and later in the West Indies.
In April 2024, for the ship’s 20th anniversary, Bastien Preuss joined Guadeloupe and convoyed the boat with its crew to New Caledonia, where it arrived 130 days later. Today, the Nautilus 360 is fully operational for location catamaran Nouméa, offering unique sailing experiences in the region.
