NDS Evolution, an 85’ JFA built in 2018, stems from the origin of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, which represents the needs, development, and skills needed to evolve. The origin of the name dates back to the previous boat, which was NDS Darwin where they wanted to improve and broaden the build & technology of the new edition, NDS Evolution. Being able to withstand high seas and even cold and icy waters with its aluminum hull & high technology, NDS Evolution has traveled far & wide from the coasts of Europe to the South Pacific, Antarctica, Alaska, Southwest Pacific, Caribbean, and all places in-between. She was built for adventure and exploring yet also gives off the luxurious feel with an open concept and modern interior & exterior.
NDS Evolution can accommodate up to 9 guests in four beautifully appointed staterooms below deck. The full beam Master Stateroom with its panoramic view features an office desk and a serene corner lounging area with a private access to the forward deck. The guest staterooms consist of two Double and one Triple stateroom, making NDS Evolution an excellent option for families with kids.
After a day on the water, guests can take advantage of the trampoline beds located on the bow, an ideal spot for soaking up the sun or enjoying a starlit evening. The spacious flybridge offers 360- degree view and is equipped with comfortable lounging, making it a perfect spot for cocktails and conversations.
Whether you are seeking a tranquil escape, an adventurous voyage, or luxurious retreat, NDS Evolution offers the ultimate blend of elegance, comfort, and performance.
This one goes where the pretty white boats don’t. NDS EVOLUTION is an 85’ aluminum sailing catamaran built in 2018, engineered for long‑range, high-latitude cruising – including polar-capable adventures – and then fitted out like a floating modern apartment. If you want a boat that can handle Antarctica and still serve perfect coffee, this is that crossover episode.
Big win #1: the owner’s suite is basically its own domain. A full‑beam master with panoramic views, lounge corner, desk, and private access to its own foredeck and trampolines. No sharing your sunrise spot with anyone else unless you invite them.
Big win #2: it actually works for real families and mixed groups. Four ensuite cabins sleep up to 9 guests: 2 doubles plus a dedicated triple cabin with three single beds that’s ideal for kids, teens, or the “we booked late” friends. Everyone gets their own bathroom; no corridor queue politics.
Deck life is the main operating system. A large aft cockpit, foredeck trampolines and sun pads, and a 360° flybridge that can be enclosed and heated when the weather goes from brochure to documentary. Same yacht for tropical bays and cold, wild places.
Toy storage is not theoretical. Alongside the 16’ tender with 60hp, you get a full small-arsenal: Seabob, e-foil, foilboard, underwater scooter, wakeboard, wakesurf, adult water-skis, inflatable toys, SUPs and kayaks. Plus space for extras like mountain bikes and dive gear if you want to push the “expedition” setting.
Onboard systems are built for actual use, not just photos. Lightweight aluminum multihull for stability and range, Starlink satellite internet for real connectivity, full air‑conditioning, modern AV, and a crew of four (including a trained chef and activity‑obsessed deck team) who are set up to run serious itineraries, not just bay-hopping.
If your brief is: “go further than the crowd, stay comfortable, keep everyone entertained, and still have Wi‑Fi,” NDS EVOLUTION is already configured for that mission profile.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a sailing catamaran like NDS EVOLUTION, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€11,000 - €19,250), making the charter cost €66,000 to €74,250. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.
