Voyage Yachts

The VOYAGE 510 is, in my view, an interesting and credible catamaran for owners looking beyond the usual production catamaran route. Voyage Yachts has been building in Cape Town since 1994, with a background shaped by serious cruising, professional use and practical bluewater experience. That heritage matters, because a yacht in this category should not only look attractive at anchor; it must also function intelligently when used properly, maintained regularly and sailed over meaningful distances.

What stands out to me in the VOYAGE 510 is the balance the yard achieves between liveability, construction quality and practical use. At 15.8 metres overall, with an 8.2-metre beam and CE Category A Ocean certification, she offers the space and stability expected of a modern 51-foot catamaran, while keeping the concept manageable for private ownership, extended cruising, and potential charter use. The yacht offers flexible 3–5-cabin layouts, with the standard specification featuring four cabins, four heads, and accommodation for 8–10 guests. Plus skipper cabins!

The practical side of the yacht deserves attention. The VOYAGE 510 is specified with twin Yanmar 57 HP engines, 900 litres of fuel capacity, 900 litres of water capacity and a 700-litre holding tank. Her sailing specification includes a 97 m² mainsail and 55 m² genoa, with a stated cruising speed of around 9 knots. The yard also quotes a range of 2,500 nautical miles, which supports her positioning as a serious cruising platform rather than simply a spacious holiday catamaran.

Construction and systems access are central to the appeal. The VOYAGE 510 uses GRP hand lay-up construction combined with infusion technology, multi-layer quadriaxial glass fabric, bulkheads tabbed to the hull, deck and coachroof, forward watertight compartments and an underwater body protected with anti-osmotic epoxy. These details support the impression of a catamaran designed for real use: durable materials, sensible systems, practical maintenance and day-to-day upkeep.

For clients seeking a multihull with genuine cruising ability, practical onboard comfort and a well-considered ownership experience, I regard Voyage Yachts as a yard of quiet confidence and considerable appeal. The VOYAGE 510 does not need to be presented as an ornamental luxury object. Its strength is more honest than that: space where it matters, capability where it counts and comfort that serves the way the yacht is intended to be used.

Through dirkagter.yachts, I support clients who are considering the VOYAGE 510 with an independent and structured acquisition process. That means looking beyond the brochure and helping you assess whether the yacht suits your intended use, cruising plans, ownership structure, specification choices, budget and long-term expectations. I can assist with model evaluation, specification review, commercial-use considerations, negotiation, delivery planning and the practical steps that follow the purchase.

After the purchase, I can also support you with arranging and managing important ownership matters, so your yacht is properly looked after. For a yacht such as the VOYAGE 510, that continuity is important. The right acquisition is not only about selecting the right yacht; it is about ensuring the ownership experience remains practical, controlled, and enjoyable once the yacht is delivered.
