A 1995 South African–built cruising cat offered by Hank Hampton, ready for the next horizon.
The Voyage Mayotte 47 has long been a favorite among owner-operators looking for a rugged, capable cruising catamaran with the space to live aboard and the pedigree to cross oceans. Swish, a 1995 example listed by broker Hank Hampton, is one of just a handful of these South African–built cats currently available on the market.
A Cruising Catamaran With Purpose
At 47 feet, the Mayotte hits a sweet spot for a shorthanded cruising couple or a family: enough waterline for comfortable passage-making, but sized so that two capable hands can manage her lines and sail plan. Voyage Yachts, based in Cape Town, developed a reputation for producing catamarans that could take a beating from the Southern Ocean and keep going, and the Mayotte 47 is a product of that ethos.
