The Voyage line of catamarans are renowned for their speed, innovative design features, head-turning good looks, and a build quality that it second to none. Designed by Alexander Simonis, "Sea Rose II" (South African-built Sail Cat) was built for both performance and comfort.
"Sea Rose II" was built with a unique layout that has four staterooms to accommodate more guests but instead of the usual four head compartments found on a Cat with a 'charter layout' it has only TWO head compartments with showers located midships; one in each hull. Thus the layout is very open and roomy with out crowding the interior with the additional two heads.
The equipment list includes custom aluminum arch w/ davits, solar panels, water-maker (not installed), cruise electronics, dinghy w/outboard, newer Yanmar diesels, newer sails, new tramp netting, full canvas cockpit enclosure w/ screens.
