Description

Delivered in 2019 as hull No.3 in the German Frers-designed Ocean Explorer 60 line of semi-customs performance cruising catamarans from Jakobstad-based Ocean Quality Systems (OQS), EASTER WITCH has had just two private owners since new and has benefitted from professional crew since build. Based in Palma de Mallorca during her first ownership, she was acquired by her current owner in Mallorca in the Spring of 2023 and lightly refitted in Palma before being shipped across the Atlantic to her new home in Fort Lauderdale for the beginning of the 2024 season.
