The VOYAGE 480 is a sleek, South African-built 49-foot cruising catamaran, delivering excellent offshore capability in an easily manageable size while providing outstanding comfort and space—making it a popular choice for both cruisers or charterers in the Caribbean and beyond!
Offshore StrengthThe VOYAGE 480 features a solid fiberglass construction with twin mini-keels, a powerful fractional sloop rig, and a generous sail area of approximately 1,320 sq ft. Its efficient hulls, relatively light displacement for its size, and good sail area-to-displacement ratio (around 22.8) allow it to perform well in a variety of conditions.
It handles long passages and bluewater sailing with confidence, offering good speed and stability while maintaining a comfortable motion. The design emphasizes seaworthiness, with many examples having cruised extensively. The wide beam and low center of gravity contribute to excellent stability, making it feel secure when beating upwind or reaching in stronger breezes. It's nimble enough for coastal hopping yet capable for offshore adventures.
Comfort and Amenities for CharterDespite its compact 49.5-foot length, the VOYAGE 480 offers impressive volume thanks to its 25.1-foot beam. Featuring a 4-cabin, 4-head layout that comfortably accommodates 8 guests, plus additional single berths in the forepeaks for crew or extra guests—sleeping up to 10 total.
The bright, airy salon and galley provide excellent social space with good headroom (approx 6'4"), panoramic views, and seamless flow to the spacious cockpit with dining area and helm station. Live-aboard-friendly amenities include:
While ideal for extended cruising, the layout is also practical for charter operations, with easy access between guest areas, cockpit, and helm—ideal for relaxed vacations or family cruising while still feeling like a private luxury escape.
