Broker Remarks

'Luxury' is the word that sums up these South African built Knysna catamarans. For anyone looking at Lagoons and other cats in this price range, this Knysna 500SE (Special Edition) is well worth looking at. It will be clear from even the smallest amount of research into the Knysna company that these yachts are a level above the usual.

With an impressive owners suite, taking up the entirety of one of the hulls, this catamaran would make a very stylish liveaboard, or an idyllic escape for the summer months.

This particular catamaran has had one owner from new and has been kept in showroom condition.

OWNERS REMARKS & HISTORY 

Launched in December 2013 with final hand over in September 2014 shown at the 2014 Cape Town Boat Show by the boat builder Knysna Yacht Company (Pty). Bespoke design features were incorporated to enhance her global, full time live aboard cruiser features for true comfort and luxurious styling. Thandiwe was subsequently delivered to the 2015 Miami Boat Show in February, after which the owner spent 3 months cruising south through the Caribbean to Grenada where it was kept on the hard on the winter period. The following season the owner spent 3 months cruising back north to the BVI when Thandiwe was then delivered to the Mediterranean where VAT was paid in June 2016 and then subsequently moored in Lefkas Marina, Greece over the winter. The owner spent 2 months cruising the Greek Islands during summer 2017, returning to Lefkas where the boat is now moored.

THANDIWE – Xhosa tribe of South Africa girls name meaning ‘Loved One’
