Nautilus Yacht Management is proud to present to market this beautifully presented Voyage 500 catamaran. Designed by Alexander Simmonis and built by Voyage Catamarans in Cape Town, South Africa, this strong and comfortable multihull offers a spacious and safe platform to explore the world with your family. Built with strength, seaworthiness and durability in mind, this remarkable yacht far outshines European productions catamarans with her well-reinforced build, yet surprising turn of speed without the encumbrance of daggerboards.

Nirvana's beautiful presentation and recent, in-depth upgrades are a credit to her owners, a US family who carefully chose the design, pedigree and history before deciding on this Voyage 500, and  prepared her with no expenses spared for their 2 years sabbatical voyage. After an idyllic 2 years exploring the South Pacific, it is now time for them to return to work and school, and for Nirvana to continue her adventures with a new family. Her owners will remain on board until sold and are available for inspections and to assist with the survey, sea trial and a thorough handover with you.

Located in Fiji, an ideal location to begin cruising amongst a diverse and friendly international cruising community, Nirvana is available now and with everything on board to simply step on and begin your journey now. Fiji offers a 5 years cruising permit, excellent marine facilities, and with 330 islands within a few miles distance and easy cruising, it has long been a Mecca for family cruising. Located 3 days sail to Vanuatu or New Caledonia, and continue island-hoping to Asia, or within a few more days to Australia or New Zealand, the possibilities are endless, even for families new to cruising.

A Word From The Owners:

"S/V Nirvana is a 2000 Voyage 500 designed by Alexander Simonis and built in South Africa. She is a solid blue water vessel known for their sturdy build, performance on the water in all conditions and reliability in tackling rough seas.

Nirvana has always exceeded our expectations. She is a quick boat that we are usually trying to slow down rather than speed up(when the winds are good). We have made it our goal to stay under 10knts while sailing. So that means we reef early and reduce stress before it's even an issue.

We chose Nirvana because we started out as a family of 6 that was going to live aboard for two years. Our children are older and need more space. We had the oldest kids of all our cruising friends (G15, B16, G19, G21) We needed her space in the rooms, the comfort in the galley, saloon and cockpit for us to all be together. We wanted to be able to have room for buddy boats to come and hangout and share our experience.

Nirvana has been a great platform for get togethers, potlucks and sun downers. Nirvana has always sailed well even with our limited sailing experience. When we found her, She was a solid bones boat and we did a lot of work in 2021 to get her how we wanted before splashing her back in the water in April 2022.

We learned to sail her in Banderas Bay, Mexico. We headed up the sea in late April to catch up with our buddy boats, We loved cruising the Sea of Cortez in Mexico. We then decided to cross the pacific to get back to our favorite destination of Fiji. We have not regretted that decision one bit. We have loved Fiji and the beauty of its islands and people.

Our oldest children have had to leave the boat to attend college and our younger children are getting ready to start college in the fall. It's now time to part ways with this part of our journey as we need to get them back home and out into to the real world. We would love to stay out here and continue cruising on Nirvana but we have accomplished what we set out to do. We have given our family memories to cherish for the rest of their lives before they are out living life off their own. They have learned to do new and hard things, meet people from all different walks of life and see cultures at their core, not just at the tourist level. We are forever grateful for this boat and for the time we have had on her. " J & J, Fiji May 2024.
