Moreton Bay Sailing

Sandy Cheeks is a French-built Fountaine Pajot catamaran that opens Moreton Bay to guests who love the freedom of being their own skipper. Built in 2016 and sailed from France to Australia, she blends the space and stability catamarans are known for with inviting performance, making island-hopping, sheltered anchorages and relaxed days under sail wonderfully accessible.

Three cabins and two bathrooms create a comfortable base for six overnight guests, while day sails welcome up to 12 passengers. The owner’s cabin includes a queen bed with its own toilet, vanity and shower. A bright saloon, a cockpit that can be opened to the breeze or enclosed, and two dining areas give everyone room to gather or unwind.

The galley includes a convection microwave, three-burner stove, oven, dual sinks, a 190-litre drawer fridge and a separate 90-litre freezer. Up forward, the trampoline is the classic catamaran perch for a downwind sail or a quiet pause at anchor, with Moreton Bay’s islands and blue horizons ahead.

Based at Newport and certified for bareboat charter throughout Moreton Bay, Sandy Cheeks is available for day sails and multi-night journeys around Moreton and the Stradbroke Islands. Moreton Bay Sailing pairs the yacht with experience assessment and guiding support, helping capable crews step aboard with confidence.
