Accommodations This Norseman Catamaran comes with the 4 cabin - 2 Head layout that is "purrfect" for you and your family! Each stateroom has a queen size berth, opening hatches, hanging lockers, storage cabinets fans and lights. There is twin steps into each hull and access to the heads from forward or, aft and not layed out that you have to pass thru the head to reach the staterooms as on other catamaran designs. The main salon and galley are up on the bridge deck with the aft facing navigation station directly in front of the helm. The beam of this catamaran is quite generous providing plenty of interior volume and living space normally found on much bigger cats. U shape dinette seating for 8 with galley to port right in the action. Large sliding glass door for access to the cockpit with plenty of seating and a fixed table for outdoor dining. 6'-2" Headroom in each hull Updated interior with new upholstery and curtains New Teak & Holly Flooring Central Heat System Galley This lavish galley-up layout could be the envy of all boats in the size range. From the perspective of galley and salon layout, you can really see where that enormous beam makes its best use. The galley features a comfortable three burner stove with oven. By comfortable I mean easy to use with well-placed controls and a sufficiently large surface to actually accommodate three burners so that normal size pots will fit on them. The cavernous refrigerator and separate freezer are located on the opposite side of the "U" shape, thus keeping those items away from the stove. The double sink is also located on that side. The "U" shape is interrupted by the entrance to the stair leading to the port side forward cabin. 3 Burner Propane Stove w/Oven Double S/S Sink Top Opening Chest Fridge & Freezer Microwave Oven New US Marine Propane System w/(2) Tanks and solenoid Electronics Furuno GPS B&G Autopilot ICOM 710 SSB Radio w/Sailmail & Auto Antenna Tuner Jensen Stereo Electrical (2005)Entire vessel was re-wired to US Voltage 110V GFCI (8)AGM House Batteries (4)Solar Panels Wind Generator Xantrex 2500 Watt Inverter w/Link 2000 Monitor Deck and Hull Equipment The boat has low aspect ratio fin keels. The keels are sectioned off into tanks to create a useful safety factor in the event of a catastrophic grounding. The two tanks are physically well separated, one being empty for buoyancy and the other is the ship's holding tank...a clever arrangement. This is one of the very few boats where the bilge pumps are mounted in recessed sumps so you can actually pump the bilges dry if required. The boat also has skeg-mounted rudders, which is much prefer over the more common spade rudder, especially for a cruising boat. The wide beam allows plenty of deck and trampoline area for sunning while at the same time adding to stability and comfort. The broad swimming platform and swim ladder allow easy access to the water.

They were looking for an affordable, safe and large enough vessel to do some extended cruising as a family. This custom designed catamaran, was built, and named by renowned yacht-designer Alexander Simonis for his own father. Robertson and Caines, South African creator of the Leopard/Moorings catamarans, built this project and the subsequent Norseman line, and the prototype design - the Simonis insignia copied throughout the catamaran world - became the standard for all catamarans to meet. Voyage bought out the Simonis molds and sells similar models for over $500K. Simonis' father sailed from South Africa to the Netherlands; the second owner sailed the North Sea and down to the Caribbean; and the current owners who have barely tested her limits, used her as their home and hearth and Bahamas fun-platform for several years. She was always loved and has never been under charter.
