Passions of Paradise was custom designed to the exacting standards of Sydney Naval Architect Graham Parker, and built in 2003 by famed Australian builder/racer Kanga Birtles, at his ship building facilities, Jarkan Yachts. At 25 meters in length she is one of the largest, most comfortable commercial sailing catamarans in Australia.

The brief was to build a solid, fast and comfortable all weather sailing catamaran with a shallow draft to take advantage of the reefs at Michaelmas Cay and Paradise Reef. A fast passage means more time on the reef.
