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.

Our story

In three dimensions

See her from every angle.

Turn the boat, look down the side decks, and see the proportions for yourself.

The build

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.

Life aboard

Knysna to Grenada, in 5 weeks.

Cape Town, St. Helena, Fernando de Noronha, Grenada. A Vision 444 ES on the passage the boat was drawn for.

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