Originally delivered from the shipyard in South Africa, GILLI GIRL sailed across the Atlantic on her own bottom, cruising through the Caribbean and along the U.S. East Coast up to New York. Since then, she has seasonally sailed between the U.S. Northeast and The Florida Keys, stopping at various destinations in between, and logging thousands of miles along the way. Yet when you step aboard GILLI GIRL, a catamaran showcased at both the 2023 and 2024 Annapolis Sailboat Shows, she presents with a level of care and finish that feels remarkably like a brand new boat; a direct reflection of the owner's disciplined maintenance and attention to detail since the day she was delivered.
While her sailing resume and Knysna Yacht Company's pedigree clearly establish her bluewater credibility, her systems and equipment reinforce it. A substantial 24V lithium battery bank, expansive solar array, complete sail inventory, and premium deck hardware and construction, reflect a luxury catamaran equipped to sail safely and comfortably anywhere in the world, with confidence.
Step inside and the difference becomes even more apparent. GILLI GIRL's professionally curated interior sets her apart from the rest of the fleet. High end galley appliances, thoughtfully selected finishes, and a cohesive aesthetic extend throughout the vessel, down to the designer tableware, linens, and flooring. The result is a turnkey luxury catamaran that feels intentionally designed rather than just simply outfitted.
GILLI GIRL is conveniently located just 20 minutes from The Palm Beach International Airport, and can be shown by appointment.
