Designed for autonomous long-range cruising, Ocean Jedi is a rare custom-built Kelsall 58 offshore catamaran combining exceptional ocean capability, structural strength and serious liveaboard autonomy.
Designed by renowned multihull designer Derek Kelsall and built by Ballotta Catamarans in Peru, this owner’s version has never been used for charter and has benefited from continuous professional maintenance throughout her life.
Unlike many modern production catamarans focused primarily on marina comfort, Ocean Jedi was built with offshore capability and structural integrity in mind. She has successfully completed extensive ocean cruising throughout the Caribbean, the US East Coast and a transatlantic crossing to Europe via Bermuda and the Azores, proving herself in demanding offshore conditions.
A major mechanical and systems refit completed in 2025 included:
Full overhaul of both Volvo Penta D3-110 engines
Generator servicing and recommissioning
Engine room refit
Steering and rudder inspections
Watermaker servicing
Rigging adjustments
Coppercoat reactivation and Propspeed application
Air conditioning upgrades
Mainsail repairs
With twin 12 kW Northern Lights generators, lithium batteries replaced in 2022, 1400W of solar power, twin watermakers, hydraulic steering, electric winches and bow thrusters, the yacht is exceptionally well equipped for autonomous long-range cruising and full-time liveaboard use.
The spacious galley-up layout offers excellent visibility, natural light and ventilation, with four double guest cabins all featuring private en-suite bathrooms. Her practical interior prioritises comfort, durability and functionality for serious cruising rather than short-term charter use.
