Overview
About this vessel
Meet Apogee. Every once in a while, a yacht comes to market that tells a story long before you step aboard.
Apogee is one of those yachts. Her story is one of meticulous ownership, continual improvement, and 9,000 miles of offshore adventure.
Launched in the summer of 2023, Apogee was carefully commissioned and continually refined by an owner whose engineering background and attention to detail are immediately evident throughout the vessel. Rather than simply using the boat, he approached ownership with the mindset of understanding, improving, and optimizing every system onboard. The result is a performance catamaran that feels exceptionally well sorted, thoughtfully upgraded, and fully prepared for serious offshore cruising. She IS the definition of CLEAN!
Over the course of nearly 9,000 nautical miles, including an Atlantic crossing, Apogee has proven herself exactly as intended. She has been sailed, maintained, and upgraded by owners who believed in using the boat while continually investing in her. From the upgraded electrical systems and sail inventory (stored in climate controlled lofts when not in use) to the extensive onboard spares package, every decision was made with reliability, redundancy, and long-term cruising in mind.
Perhaps the strongest endorsement of Apogee, however, is not just found in her specifications or equipment list. It is found in the owners' next decision.
After their experience aboard this Balance 482, they have chosen to remain within the Balance family and have committed to a new build Balance 540. For me, there is perhaps no stronger testament to the design, performance, and ownership experience that Balance Catamarans delivers. Owners who have crossed oceans aboard these vessels and experienced them firsthand understand exactly what they are buying, and these owners have chosen to do it again.
Today, Apogee represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most meticulously maintained and thoughtfully equipped Balance 482s available. She is not being offered for sale because something is lacking. Rather, she is being offered because her owners have enjoyed the platform enough to continue their journey aboard a larger Balance.
For the next owner, that creates an exceptional opportunity: a proven offshore cruising catamaran, extensively upgraded, professionally maintained, and ready for her next adventure.
