How To Configure Your Windelo 50 To 55 - Windelo Catamaran

Jul 11, 2025

Imagine gliding effortlessly over turquoise seas, the sun warming the sails of your Windelo catamaran. In / Aboard the starboard hull, children laugh in a cabin designed just for them, while forward, a couple sips fresh juice in a cozy private nook, rocked by gentle waves (gently rocked by the waves). Not far off, friends toast the sunset as you wrap up a video call in your ocean-view office—a seamless blend of work and leisure framed by endless blue.

Whether you’re a family chasing multi-generational adventures, a couple longing for an elegant escape to open waters, or a group of friends eager for starlit nights and laughter, our customizable hull layouts transform each pontoon into a true home at sea. Onboard, your lifestyle takes center stage: a bright workspace for productive days, a hands-on workshop for technical projects, a cozy reading corner for quiet moments, or guest cabins for fun gatherings and cherished memories. Just as you configure the saloon to suit your tastes, the hulls adapt to reflect your personality and needs. With Windelo, every voyage becomes uniquely yours.

On a Windelo 50, the hulls alone offer nearly 25 m² of living space (27 m² on the 54), available in 32 distinct layouts. Discover how to configure your Windelo, for a unique experience that suits you.

Whatever you envision, Windelo has an “ad hoc” solution waiting to bring it to life.

The Port Hull: Master Cabin and Flexible Layouts

To meet each owner’s unique lifestyle—whether family cruising, friends’ getaways, or high-end charter—the Windelo’s port hull comes in one-cabin or two-cabin versions, offering multiple style and configuration choices without sacrificing comfort or luxury.

Owner’s Suite: A Light-Filled Sanctuary

In the owner’s layout, the Windelo port hull unfolds into a bright, open suite that feels astonishingly spacious. The interior design is contemporary yet warm, combining clean lines with materials that feel right at home on the water.

Private Entry and Work Nook
A discreet and private companionway door leads into the suite. At its midsection, a corner desk bathed in natural light can double as a vanity or a tranquil workspace. For book lovers, this area can also be styled as a private & comfy reading corner.

Impressive Walk-In Wardrobe
Just forward of the companionway, you’ll find a walk-in closet complete with hanging lockers, mirrored panels, and custom cabinetry. With 1.6 m³ of storage—lining both sides of the 3-meter walkway—it’s more than ample room for clothes, gear, and essentials.

Spa-Inspired Bath
Continuing forward, this suite reveals a spa-like bathroom. The “king-size” shower features an ergonomic seat for moments of relaxation, even when the sea is rolling. Aborad the windelo 50 a sweeping 2.50 m panoramic porthole floods the space with natural light and frames endless ocean vistas. The furniture is minimalist and sleek, showcasing a sleek sink basin. Generous custom storage modules hold toiletries and travel necessities, one of which cleverly conceals a 3 kg wall-mounted washer—perfect for extended voyages. The electric “Quiet Flush” freshwater toilet is tucked discreetly at the entrance, blending functionality and style seamlessly.

Serene Sleeping Quarters
The berth area is designed as a haven for rest and tranquility. A Queen-size bed (160 × 200 cm) sits athwartships, facing a panoramic porthole that invites daylight and sea breezes to expand the sense of space. High-quality mattress materials ensure true comfort from the moment you wake until you drift off. Below the berth, a large storage locker accommodates bulky items and luggage with ease. Various storage compartments are integrated into the berth area to maximize onboard space and keep your essentials close at hand.

Elegant, Functional Design
Open to the sea, the Windelo owner’s suite is a light-filled, modern retreat. Every detail—from curved cabinetry to thoughtful light placement—has been chosen to balance ergonomics, well-being, and refined maritime design.

Two-Cabin Version: Master Retreat Plus a Customizable Forward Cabin

For maximum versatility—whether you’re cruising with family, hosting friends, or running a charter—the Windelo’s port hull also offers a two-cabin layout, maintaining the luxury and privacy of the master cabin while introducing a second forward cabin with multiple configuration options.

A Master Cabin That Stays Luxurious

Aft, the master cabin retains all the spatial generosity of the full suite: a Queen-size berth (160 × 200 cm) athwartships, a panoramic corner porthole, and bedding engineered for supreme comfort.

A subtle partition wall separates the cabin from the companionway, creating a true “floating cocoon.” The main changes in this version involve the layout of the companionway and the heads.

Companionway Refresh Zone

Along the companionway, two dedicated spaces cater to well-being:

  • Shower Cabin: A minimalist design with two integrated storage modules, an elegant sink under a mirror, and a porthole that opens for fresh ventilation and power sockets for your personal hygiene devices
  • Separate WC: Housed in its own compartment, this WC features a concealed 3 kg wall-mounted washer, combining autonomy and style to stay fresh at sea.

A Forward Cabin That Evolves with Your Lifestyle to Configure your Windelo

Where the full-suite bath once stood, a versatile forward cabin now awaits—bathed in natural light from a nearly 2.50 m panoramic window that elevates every anchorage. Here are the possibilities:

  • Double-Berth Configuration: A Queen-size berth (160/135 × 200 cm) invites restful nights. Beneath the mattress, a large storage hold stashes everything you need for extended voyages. A 70 cm-long hanging locker and a “Aircraft style overhead locker” (1,6 m × 50 cm) add even more capacity. A small integrated seat provides a convenient spot for dressing, stepping up to the berth, or enjoying a good book.
  • Home Office Configuration: Transform this cabin into a sleek workspace with sea views. USB and 220 V outlets are seamlessly built into the design for easy connectivity, and two single fold-away berths ensure extra sleeping space.
  • Workshop Configuration: Outfitted as a functional workshop, this layout features a sturdy wood bench, robust storage modules, and reinforced wall panels for durability—ideal for on-the-go technical projects.
  • Twin-Beds Configuration: Opt for two single berths, staggered on the inboard side and create a flexible option for guests.

For full details on these forward cabin layouts, visit the “Starboard Hull, Forward Cabin Modularity” section (identical in mirror form on both hulls).

The Starboard Hull: Highly Modular Guest Hull to Configure your Windelo

Picture the starboard hull as a flexible, dedicated playground for guests and family. This hull offers the most modular configurations on board.

Forward, choose among four distinct cabin types—bunk beds, a double berth, a home office, or a workshop—each with clever storage solutions, adjustable lighting, and panoramic windows that frame a 180° ocean view. Across the saloon/galley area, two distinct hull layouts await depending on whether you select a U-Shape or L-Shape configuration. In all, eight unique combinations ensure that every cruise—whether a family weekend, a friends’ charter, or a circumnavigation—offers the perfect onboard environment. With Windelo, each owner creates a living space where modularity meets elegant design and functionality.

Aft Cabin and Companionway: Shaped by Your Saloon/Galley Choice

On the starboard hull, everything starts with your saloon and galley layout: U-Shape or L-Shape? That decision redefines the hull’s character. Depending on whether the companionway steps down forward of the galley or near its center, the aft cabin and companionway adapt to maximize space, ergonomic flow, and natural light.

U-Shape Configuration for the aft cabin

  • Aft Cabin: A longitudinal 140 × 200 cm berth runs along the hull, extended by a 50 cm integrated shelving-and-hang locker unit on the inboard side for a Windelo 50 and 90 cm for a Windelo 54. At the cabin entrance—on the outboard side—an integrated bench and designer shelving form a private lounge corner.
  • Panoramic Porthole: This corner window—250 cm long on the Windelo 50 and 300 cm on the 54—floods the cabin with natural light, crafting a distinctive ambiance that evolves with the sun’s path.
  • Companionway: A custom column cabinet faces the companionway steps. Optionally, it accommodates a 5 kg washer-dryer and discreet shelving, elevating daily life onboard.

L-Shape Configuration for the aft cabin

  • Aft Cabin: Borrowing the owner’s suite style, the transversal berth (140 × 200 cm) directly faces a panoramic corner porthole—ideal for watching sunrises and sunsets. Beneath the mattress lies a deep storage locker for luggage and larger gear, and a deep hanging locker is cleverly placed along the outboard bulkhead for efficient storage.
  • Companionway: While the entrance to this guest cabin is slightly narrower than the master cabin’s, it frees up the companionway to become a true “life hub.” Options include a 5 kg washer-dryer, a 65 L freezer for a Windelo 50 and a 90 L for a Windelo 54, and an integrated pantry, streamlining life at sea and extending your cruising autonomy.

Companionway Spa Zone

Continuing forward along the companionway, you’ll find a dedicated WC on one side—complete with a discreet storage cabinet and a sleek sink for added comfort and privacy. This thoughtful layout enhances guests’ well-being while making the most of every inch—including a cleverly concealed daggerboard trunk within the bulkhead.

Forward Cabin: Light-Filled and Flexible

Bathed in natural light, the forward cabins on both hulls feature nearly 2.50 m of panoramic glazing, accentuating every anchorage and immersing you in your surroundings, with the horizon as your only limit. To maximize onboard comfort, each hull’s forward cabin includes a strategically placed escape hatch, ensuring excellent cross-ventilation even at anchor.

On both the Windelo 50 and 54, these forward cabins are offered in four versions: a double cabin, a home office, a workshop, or a twin-berth cabin.

Home Office with a Sea View

Designed for today’s mobile professional, this office cabin combines style and productivity. A minimalist desk, aligned with the vessel’s axis, draws natural light from a port-side porthole while providing a sweeping starboard-side sea view—transforming every work session into an inspiring retreat, accompanied by the soothing motion of the waves.

When hosting guests, simply fold out two single berths (90 × 200 cm each), and the office instantly becomes a Pullman cabin.

Adjustable lighting at each berth enhances the feeling of space and serenity. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the reinforced floor, which can support a compact exercise machine (folding rower, travel-size bike, or foldable treadmill), allowing you to maintain your fitness routine even in open waters.

Workshop at Sea

The Windelo workshop is utilitarian space with style. Under bright, adjustable LED lighting, heavy-duty lower storage modules keep your tools and materials organized. A solid wood workbench on the inboard side adds a raw-chic touch, while reinforced, easy-clean wall panels ensure durability for years to come. When it’s time to rest—and to host an extra guest—a fold-away 90 × 200 cm berth tucks seamlessly into the inboard bulkhead. A built-in LED reading light casts a warm glow over a cozy reading nook—a perfect spot to unwind before a restorative night’s sleep.

Twin-Bunk Cabin: Practical and Inviting

Designed for two, this cabin features single bunk beds (90 × 200 cm) staggered on the inboard side to preserve privacy. At the entrance—next to the lower bunk—an integrated four-shelf storage unit, reminiscent of IKEA Kallax, cleverly hides the ladder to the upper berth. Beneath the lower bunk, a spacious locker offers ideal storage for kids’ toys, beach gear, or other equipment.

Flooded with natural light from the large panoramic porthole, this cabin balances distinctive design with everyday practicality, ensuring guests feel right at home at every stop.

Double Berth Suspended Above the Waterline

In the double configuration, a generous Queen-size berth (160/135 × 200 cm) invites restful nights. Under the mattress, a deep storage hold easily houses all your circumnavigation essentials or your guests’ bulky luggage.

A 70 cm-long hanging locker and a “Boeing-style” trunk (1.60 m × 0.50 m) round out the substantial stowage capacity, catering to both you and your visitors. To complete the space, an integrated seat offers a spot for dressing, stepping up to the berth, or settling in for a quiet read. Every detail has been calibrated to make this double cabin a haven of comfort for your guests.
