Built by sailors, for sailors
Sail Beyond Expectation
Blue-water catamarans built in Knysna, South Africa — engineered for performance, comfort and a lifetime of support.
Welcome to Vision Yachts
The ultimate cruising catamaran.
Vision catamarans are built in Knysna, South Africa, by people who sail them. That is why the jib is self-tacking, why the engine room has a workbench, and why every boat leaves with two years of spare parts aboard.
Designed for owners who actually cross oceans, and finished to a standard that holds up when the nearest chandlery is two thousand miles away.

Vision 484
The 484 is not a stretched 444. Instead, this model will feature a new hull form, deck layout and interior, as well as increased volume, more clearance and long-range cruising capability to sailors who want more space, without compromising performance.

Every hull starts as cloth and resin.
Hulls are built in resin-infused closed-cell foam sandwich with E-glass, cured in temperature-controlled halls.
Eighteen watertight compartments. Foam-filled bow crumple zones. Keel-integrated water tanks that double as impact absorbers.

“The state-of-the-art technologies that go into each Vision run a lot deeper than their stately head-turning, modern styling.”
