Wow! Savanti 31, 36, and 43. Your Choice—the Liveaboard model, or the Cruiser. Either Way, Unlike ANY Other Catamaran Available. (A) The “Liveaboard’s” low-deck profile means easy access while permanently docked as a remarkably elegant, floating home. (B) The “Cruiser” version (with 3’ higher hulls for slicing through 3-to-5-foot seas), will carry you safely for 100-to-1,000 coastal miles: be it the epic “Big Loop” cruise — or NY-to-FL via the ICW — or, in Europe, from the North Sea to the Med. Unlike other cats—requiring unending, steep-stair climbs to get to-and-from tiny cabins crammed into narrow hulls—all SAVANTI living areas are located on ONE, stair-free level. (Thus, the 2 big hulls serve solely as exceptionally roomy, “basement” storage spaces.) Other cats require 2 noisy & expensive diesels. We use a bigger, quieter outboard motor (plus bow thruster), for 10-15 knots. Thus, easy beaching, & servicing. So, say “NO!” to cramped stairs & cabins, or microsize kitchens. Say “YES” to a 4’ fireplace, a 5’ HDTV, 6’ fridge-freezer, 7’ walk-around beds, plus all major appliances. And, thanks to a robust heat-and-AC system, enjoy homelike comfort anywhere, summer or winter. SAVANTI 43 Liveaboard Version 2-or-3 Bedrms & baths. Upper sundeck (with softor hard-top bimini) SAVANTI 43 Cruiser Version 2’ Higher hulls, protected bow deck, 90-to-200 HP engine, plus bow-thruster, and flybridge helm station Illustrations: Salt & Water This SAVANTI 43 (pages 2 & 3) was specially designed for a Florida couple seeking the ultimate in cruising-yacht comfort for a year-long voyage around the 7,000-mile, “Big Loop” passage. (From FL, up the ICW [IntraCoastal Waterway], to NY; along the New England and New Brunswick coasts; “hang a left” into the St. Lawrence Seaway, then the Great Lakes; another left [southward] down the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico; and then a final left [eastward] for the return to FL.) The sole restriction during this trek is one, lowclearance, non-opening bridge with only about 17’ of clearance beneath it. (But check to confirm that clearance prior to making (Continued on page 3) 2 the right of the TV is a glass-doored, wine cooler. At the owner’s request we’ve also included an extra-long, 6’ soaking tub-with-shower in the Owner’s suite. (Continued from page 2) your own “Big Loop” cruise.) Despite its exceptionally roomy layout, the SAVANTI-43 is designed so as to fit under that bridge — even if you order the hard-top, “Penthouse” option (elevator also optional!) for the upper deck. (We can install that hard-top to be easily removed at that bridge, then re– installed once you’ve cleared the bridge. ). Meanwhile, the guest bedroom includes an amazing 7’ wide desk that converts (in just 3 seconds!), to a readyto-sleep-in, queen-size bed. (You don’t need to remove anything from the desk, including a big-screen monitor, etc. See that company’s video: hiddenbed.com). This SAVANTI –43 is set to carry a 10’ RIB (and outboard) in davits. But, alternatively, you could carry a 12’ dinghy, stored above, along the aft end of the sundeck, where it would be launched and retrieved by a single, electric/ hydraulic hoist, also installed above. This special SAVANTI-43 includes the optional, 2nd staircase at the aft end of the galley. This allows guests to reach the sundeck (2nd level) without having to pass thru the Owner’s Suite to get to the standard, exterior staircase, which rises from the front deck. Notice also such specialties as double, Sub-Zero freezer drawers, under and to the left of the TV. Similarly, under and to The SAVANTI 43 gives you the comfort and space of a 50to-55’ singlehull cruiser, yet costs $400K to $850K less! SAVANTI 43 Pages 2 & 3 show a custom layout for a Florida couple — designed for the 7,000-mile, Big Loop cruise, plus periodic getaways to the Bahama Islands. 3 SAVANTI Cruiser models are for you. Their higher hulls will slice thru any seas you’re likely to meet while exploring the major lakes, rivers and coastal bays in America. And the twin, cat’ hulls mean way less “rock-n-roll” than you’ll experience aboard same-length singlehull boats — PLUS, nearly 100% faster speeds than same-length displacement monohulls: enjoy cruising at up to 15 MPH. 31’, 36’, & 43’ — Either Liveaboard or Cruiser The SAVANTIS, debuting Feb., 2017, are the next addition to Eco-Sea Cottages’ (ESC’s) current line of 9, woodframed, or metal-framed, or all-fiberglass liveaboard vessels. As with 70% of our current ESC owners, the Liveaboard version will appeal to those with no boating background — and understandably so. For them, switching to a stylish floating home, permanently docked in a protective marina, is saying “YES!” to an amazing, lifestyleenhancing experience. Think Tom Hanks’ houseboat in the movie “Sleepless In Seattle” — only much more elegant! Whether your choice is 31, 36 or 43 feet, you’re guaranteed more home-like comfort (for less money) than 10feet longer “regular” motor boats. Plus, SAVANTIS come standard with heat, air conditioning, and all major appliances. Be it price, comfort, or amenities, you can’t beat the modern, SAVANTI liveaboard/cruisers. However, if you already love the “cruising” lifestyle, our SAVANTI 31 Liveaboard Version 1-Bedrm & bath, plus opt’l loft bed SAVANTI 31 Cruiser Version Delivered to you anywhere in the world 4 Illustrations: Salt & Water shelves for your fishing tackle? Or stowage in the other hull for your snow skis and holiday decorations? Our 5’ x 5’ hulls are like spacious “sub-basements.” “Customized” means . . . CUSTOMIZED! Whether you’re tall or petite, we can provide you with beds & counter-tops custom-built to your height requirements. Do you want an onboard office space? A music room? A cabin with bunk beds and toy chest for the grandkids? Can do! Would you like a portion of one of the roomy hulls fitted with rod holders and In short, when we say “We can customize for your needs,” we mean it. And that holds true for your choice of woods for floors and cabinets — or else creating a hi-tech galley in bold colors, with interiorlit, glass-fronted cabinets. Again, “Can do.” SAVANTI 31 1 Cruiser Version 2 4 We offer a variety of interior layouts. (See just a few examples on page 6). (1) The view from within your Savanti is amazing — whether thru the salon’s 9-foothigh, safety-glass “wall,“ or, (2) from the salon/galley’s big side windows. (a full-size “kitchen” available in wood, stainless steel, or vividly colored (or all-white) laminates. (3) This galley design invites family or friends to pull their stools up around the “island,” kibitzing with the cook and his/her helpers. (Note the home-size appliances, full -height fridge/freezer, and recessed lighting around the inset cabinet bases.) (4) Here we see one of the layouts possible in the Savanti 31. If you order the optional, overhead loft for any Savanti (see dotted line, page-6, “D”), that sleeping/storage area is high above the living room.

LOWER LEFT Interior of Savanti 31 — with compact, kitchenette option, and a ladder leading up to the sleeping/storage loft (the underside of which is inset with LED lighting, above the settee & table). BELOW Dining table with wrap-around view. 6 The 2 illustrations above, from SaltWater X Y SUNDECK There are three sizes. X. This Savanti 31 reveals the small sundeck, with seating for 6. Y. This is the mid-size version. Z. This is one example of the large sundeck layout, although we could offer yet a larger one, too. A truly unique design aspect of the Savanti is that you can specify either end to be built as the bow. “Say Wha’?!” For example, X & Y show the steering wheel facing toward the large deck, so the transom-steps and outboard motor would be mounted at the opposite end of the vessel. But the Z steering station is facing the seemingly “correct way” — toward the smaller deck. If you usually motor on relatively calm waters (a small lake or river, or along the ICW), then choosing the bigger deck to be the “bow” means there’s added room for people to be comfortably seated, viewing the upcoming scenery. And, if the breeze increases, those people sitting on that larger deck can simply move inside of the big, safety-glass “wall” separating the deck from the salon, and continue to enjoy the oncoming scenery. For those who worry that this higher end of the vessel is “un-aerodynamic” for a bow, that’s true. BUT, given the moderate speed of the vessel, even a 15-knot headwind won’t affect your forward speed by more than one knot, as compared to choosing to have the lower, curved end of the vessel (see Z, below) as your “bow.” We don’t know of any other boats (except canoes!) that give you the choice of “bow and stern” when ordering your vessel. How nice that, as with many other distinct aspects of the SAVANTIS, you get to choose! Z SAVANTI 43 (right) Cruiser Version 2-or-3 Bedrooms & bathrooms. Recessed upper sundeck, with steering station, optional Chef’s Cabinet (including BBQ grill, sink, undercounter fridge, and ice maker), plus dining table and spacious sun-pad area. LEFT The Savanti 36 “Cruiser.” Visually, it looks like a twin to the Savanti 43. But, in actual size/area it’s 19% smaller than her 43foot sister — 7’ shorter and 2’8 narrower. Compared to the 31’ model, the 36’ and 43’ are most easily identified by the additional “tear-drop” window on either side. Also, all 3 Cruiser models have a solid forward rail , to deflect spray and wave crests. 7 The 3 “white” illustrations above, from Salt & Water A B B D A & B Other cats C accommodate a single table, bolted down next to an immovable settee seat — which does not provide a comfy, post-dining situation. By comparison, the SAVANTIS are so roomy you can install a movable dining table with moveable seating, and a comfy sectional-orcouch, and his-nher reclining easy chairs. C. Your SAVANTI – 43 also includes a big, 5’ HDTV above a delightful, 4’ fireplace. Because the latter is electric, you’ll enjoy its visual allure in July (with its heat turned off), yet welcome its flame and warmth any misty morning, or winter day. E D & E Among cats this size, only SAVANTIS offer true, king-size beds (84” x 72”) that are accessible from all 3 sides, and available with super storage below: either via a semi-auto-lift mattress, or a 6-to-12drawer captain’s bed. F. Even the guest cabin’s bed can be a full, 84” x 60” queen-size. (A hint of the frame of the Savanti’s distinctive, tear-drop side window is visible to the right.) F 8 Top illustration from Svetlana at Salt & Water I H J L K Many styles of custom kitchens are available. H. Combinations of stainless steel & glass-fronted cabinets, plus wood trim. I. An all s/s kitchen (or choose traditional, all-wood cabinetry). J. Alternately, you may choose a variety of multi-hued laminates. K. Especially classy: Solid-glass counter tops, either smooth or rippled, with variable-hue, LED lighting. L. And what’s especially cool? Our optional circular staircase (pg. 6,“A”) with glass steps, also enhanced with surrounding (or even embedded) — variable-hued LED lighting. At night — dockside or underway — the lighted glass counter tops and glass stair-steps look magical. 9 Top illustration from Svetlana at Salt & Water SAVANTI-31 The Cruising Version’s hulls are engineered for strength, performance, and loadcarrying capability.
