About
Voyage 500 in Exceptional Condition, Fully Upgraded and Ready for Blue Water Cruising
This Voyage 500 is a superb example of a true blue water cruising catamaran. Designed by Alexander Simonis and built in South Africa to exacting standards, the Voyage 500 is widely respected for its strength, stability, and long range capability. It is a proven design that delivers excellent performance under sail while offering the comfort and volume demanded by serious cruisers and charter guests.
The model began life in 1993 as the Mayotte 470 and was refined under Voyage Yachts from 1994 onward, with further development from Tom Lubbe in consultation with Simonis. The modern Voyage 500 has been in continuous production since 1996 and is regarded as one of the most capable and practical cruising catamarans in its class. The line recently evolved into the new Voyage 590, yet the 500 remains sought after for its robust construction and well considered layout.
This particular vessel has been owner operated and professionally maintained for the past eight years. She has served both as a comfortable live aboard home and as a successful term charter yacht, benefiting from continuous upgrades throughout current ownership. All major systems and components have been replaced, renewed, or modernised, and her general condition reflects the high level of care she has received. The focus has always been reliability, safety, and presenting a welcoming environment for guests.
Well equipped, well maintained, and already proven on extended voyages, she is a capable cruising catamaran ready for her next adventure.

The brokerage team has been amazing. They helped me find the right catamaran for our family of four, with enough space for extended family and friends to stay with us anytime. The broker really helped me narrow down what I needed. I started with a long list and eventually narrowed it down to something that was the right fit and price for me.
I cannot speak too highly of Andrew Hodgdon and his colleagues at the Multihull Company.
The process of selling my boat was very smooth and well managed and with excellent communication – especially important as I was unable to be nearby during the sale process. Andrew’s deep knowledge of the market and my boat was very reassuring. We spoke regularly and he kept me closely advised all the way through to a happy sale. I found him a good guy, very helpful, willing to share and bounce ideas around, and I enjoyed working with him. Highly recommended!
Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company are really professional! I just closed a deal with them, and everything was pretty smooth. Andrew was punctual, showed a lot of expertise, and he was honest about all the problems with the boat. He is also giving me the support I need to run all the projects on this boat. This whole process was much better than I was expecting, and I recommend this team! Thank you, Andrew.
The multihull company, specifically Andrew Hodgson worked with me in the sale of Gods Grace, a 50’ Voyage 500. They made sure that as many people as possible touched it, laid hands on it, ultimately resulting in a offer and sale and was extremely helpful in the prep and sale process as I did not live locally… If you want to make sure that people actually see your vessel, will be honest and truly assist you in the sale, Andrew is the man for the job.
