Kanhka is a 2022 CatFlash 43 catamaran based at Marina Farol de Paraty, your gateway to one of Brazil's most enchanting coastal regions. This modern dual-hulled vessel offers the stability and space that make bareboat and crewed charters truly memorable, accommodating up to eight guests across four well-appointed cabins with four ensuite heads. The wide beam and twin 50 hp engines deliver both comfort and responsive handling, whether you're navigating the calm waters around Paraty or venturing further along the emerald-fringed coast.

Life aboard Kanhka balances ease with exploration. The flybridge becomes your social hub at sunset, shaded by the Bimini top, while the sprayhood protects the cockpit during morning departures. Electric winches and GPS navigation mean less fuss with sail handling, leaving more time to simply be present. Climate control keeps cabins cool during warm tropical afternoons, and the onboard refrigerator stocks fresh provisions for simple dinners or elaborate feasts prepared in the galley. The autopilot grants you freedom to relax or swim off the stern while cruising between anchorages.

Paraty itself—a colonial jewel with cobblestone streets and Portuguese architecture—sets the tone for your week. From here, you'll explore hidden coves sheltered by forested hills, anchor near pristine beaches accessible only by water, and discover the rhythm of small fishing villages where local restaurants serve catch-of-the-day with lime and cachaça. The catamaran's shallow draft opens access to shallow bays and mangrove-lined inlets that monohulls cannot reach. Kanhka suits families seeking adventure without compromise, groups of friends wanting spacious communal areas, or couples desiring a private floating base with room for visiting friends.

Imagine your final evening: anchored in a secluded bay as the sun melts into the Atlantic, the catamaran gently swaying, the smell of grilled fish and fresh passion fruit drifting from the galley, and the gentle clink of glasses as you toast another perfect day on the water.
