The Voyage 500 is a 48-foot fiberglass catamaran built for blue water cruising. Designed by Alexander Simonis and constructed in South Africa, the design combines strength and stability with long-range capability. The model has been refined continuously since its introduction in 1996 and remains respected for robust construction, practical layout, and genuine offshore performance under sail.
The boat accommodates four cabins and four heads, offering comfortable volume for extended cruising or charter use. The layout reflects careful planning for serious ocean voyages, balancing livability with seaworthiness.
Power comes from two Btea Marine diesel engines of 100 hp each. The yacht has been owner-operated and professionally maintained over the past eight years. Major systems and components have received continuous upgrades and attention throughout this period, with a focus on reliability and safety.
