Overview
About this vessel
BAHATI is a meticulously maintained one-owner Knysna 500SE, a luxury blue-water catamaran with the highly sought-after 3-cabin Owner's Version layout. The vessel has been extensively dialed-in over an Atlantic crossing and miles of cruising. The Knysna 500SE is known for its sleek design, comfort, and robust build, and has earned an enviable reputation as one of the most capable blue-water cruising yachts on the market. Built by the prestigious Knysna Yacht Company in South Africa, this model combines exceptional craftsmanship with a design focused on long-distance, shorthanded cruising.
The port hull is entirely dedicated to the owner's private use, providing ultimate privacy and comfort. Spacious, bright cabins feature double beds, air conditioning, and fans, ensuring comfort for long voyages. The open-plan saloon features a multimedia system with flat-screen TV and surround sound, with panoramic 360-degree views. The sliding door opens to seamlessly merge the saloon and cockpit, creating a large indoor/outdoor living space perfect for relaxing, dining, and entertaining. A covered cockpit with an oval teak dining table seats up to 8 people, ideal for social gatherings while underway or at anchor. Wide transom steps and a dive platform provide easy access for swimming and boarding the tender.
The 500SE is designed for short-handed operation and offers excellent upwind performance, sailing at speeds in the low teens. Her sleek hulls and robust build make her fast, light, and well-suited for ocean cruising. Whether planning extended ocean passages or island-hopping, this yacht is engineered to handle a wide range of conditions with confidence and ease.
The Knysna 500SE is built by a renowned boutique yacht builder in South Africa, known for their commitment to quality over quantity. The Special Edition (SE) features an extended coach roof and dive platform, providing additional space and functionality. Nominated for Multihull of the Year in 2019 and 2020, the Knysna 500SE is an international benchmark in catamaran standards. The vessel is built to withstand the demands of ocean cruising, offering both safety and luxury for extended periods at sea.
BAHATI has recently been hauled to comply with the Yanmar directive that the saildrive bellows be changed at the required interval. Rudder bearings have been shimmed, watermaker refurbished, bottom paint refreshed, and general systems serviced under the watchful eye of the Build Captain who originally delivered her to the Caribbean and beyond for the original owner.
