2014 Royal Cape Catamarans Majestic 530

The Majestic 530 is a 53-foot catamaran built on a Van Der Stadt design, combining proven offshore performance with substantial living space. Twin Yanmar diesel engines of 160 horsepower power the hull, which features the reduced draft and fuller lines characteristic of the design—qualities that help flatten seas and minimize bow movement while maintaining carrying capacity. The fiberglass construction is solidly built with CE certification, and the boat handles effortlessly under sail with self-tailing winches operated by button control.

Four spacious cabins each include private en-suite heads, with a large owner suite and VIP cabin among them. The galley is well-appointed with modern appliances including a dishwasher, and opens to a bright saloon with excellent headroom and natural light. The boat is equipped with air conditioning, a generator, solar power, water maker, washer and dryer, and a dive compressor. An external storage area for fishing and diving gear keeps the deck organized, while the expansive cockpit provides protected all-round visibility for the helm and entertainment space for guests.

The current owners have maintained the boat continuously throughout three and a half years of full-time cruising, which has included passages across the Atlantic and Pacific, exploration of the Mediterranean and Caribbean, and transit through the Panama Canal. The Majestic 530 carries the design hallmarks valued for stability, comfort, and ocean capability—deeper tanks for fuel and water, generous stowage throughout, and proportions that favor extended cruising and liveaboard life.
