DESCRIPTION:
KSS 58 “Ocean Jedi” – Custom Blue-Water Performance Catamaran
This KELSALL 58 KSS is a well-maintained sailing catamaran, designed by renowned multihull designer Derek Kersall and built by Ballotta Catamarans in 2009. A proven offshore design, she offers generous space, stability and excellent autonomy for long-range cruising or liveaboard use.
She features a comfortable 4-cabin layout with ensuite heads, a bright galley-up configuration, and durable interior finishes. Powered by twin Volvo Penta D3-110 diesel engines, both fully overhauled in 2025, she cruises efficiently at 7–8 knots with a maximum speed of 12–14 knots.
Energy independence is enhanced by two Northern Lights 12 kW generators, an inverter, lithium batteries replaced in 2022, and seven solar panels (totalling more than 1,400 W). Navigation equipment includes GPS/chart plotters, radar, autopilot, wind instruments, VHF and EPIRB.
Additional highlights include the Coppercoat treatment (2021), electric winches, electric windlass with dual controls, bow thrusters, watermakers, a liferaft for eight persons, and recent upgrades, including new cockpit flooring and large windows.
A solid and capable bluewater cruising catamaran, waiting for her next owner. Price is open to offers and can be discussed.

Additional InformationOcean Jedi is a true long-range performance catamaran, custom-built for serious blue-water cruising and fundamentally different from today’s lighter production multihulls. She is a heavy, strong, and exceptionally safe offshore yacht, designed for extended ocean passages and liveaboard comfort.
Proven Blue-Water History
Ocean Jedi has an outstanding and well-documented offshore track record. She has been sailed:
From Lima (Peru) through the Panama Canal
For over 10 years throughout the Caribbean
Repeatedly along the U.S. East Coast
From the Caribbean to Europe via Bermuda and the Azores
The yacht has safely experienced two hurricanes while securely docked and multiple extreme offshore conditions, including winds exceeding 60 mph and seas up to 20 feet. Throughout her life, the hull has never shown structural issues, fractures, or loss of integrity, confirming the robustness of her construction.
The design naturally lifts the bow and minimises bridge-deck slamming, contributing to exceptional comfort and safety offshore—something that is immediately noticeable at sea.
Construction & Design
Ballotta built four KSS 58 yachts, two with galley-up layouts and two with galley-down configurations. Ocean Jedi features the galley-up layout, widely considered the most desirable arrangement in this size and category, offering superior light, ventilation, and social living space.
Interior & Liveaboard Comfort
Ocean Jedi offers:
Large, comfortable cabins
Generous living areas
Excellent ventilation and visibility
Practical layout designed for long-term living and circumnavigation
Her interior volume and layout make her an ideal yacht for extended cruising, ocean crossings, or full-time liveaboard use.
Maintenance & Professional Care
The yacht has been meticulously maintained throughout her life:
Regular shipyard maintenance
Almost always professionally crewed
Captain aboard for over 10 years, ensuring consistent care and oversight
The long-term captain is a licensed captain and trained diesel mechanic, providing an exceptional level of mechanical and operational attention.
Standing Rigging
The replacement was completed just prior to the transatlantic crossing from the Caribbean to Europe.
Refit & Works in Progress
A major refit program has just been completed in 2025 in Port Ginesta, Barcelona:
Full overhaul of both Volvo engines, shaft lines, gearboxes, and propellers
Complete engine room refit
Servicing and commissioning of Northern Lights generators
Rigging adjustments
Removal and inspection of both rudder blades
Installation of three new air-conditioning units
Refit of both watermakers
Reactivation of Coppercoat antifouling and Propspeed application on shafts
Gelcoat touch-ups on deck
Mainsail repair
Before being officially launched on the market, the yacht also received:
Ownership & Registration
Ocean Jedi is owned by a USA corporation, offering flexibility in the transaction structure (asset or share sale).
She was registered as a pleasure craft and obtained a MIRAD waiver for charter activity in U.S. waters, confirming importation compliance prior to any U.S. tariffs.
Summary
Ocean Jedi is a rare opportunity to acquire a custom-built, proven blue-water catamaran with exceptional offshore capability, generous living space, and a maintenance history that reflects professional ownership and care.
She is ideally suited for:
A yacht for sailors who value strength, safety, and real offshore performance over light construction and volume-driven production designs.
