Whether your dream is weekend escapes, extended cruising, or launching a charter or sailing lifestyle business, this vessel is ready to deliver.
This 2008 Admiral 40 Executive Owner’s Version offers a 3-cabin, 2-head layout, making her as comfortable as she is capable. She provides reliability and peace of mind wherever your journey takes you and is perfectly suited for off-grid living and long-range cruising without compromise.
Lovingly maintained by full-time cruisers since 2019, this catamaran is widely regarded as one of the best in her class. Designed by Angelo Davranos and built in South Africa by Admiral Master Yacht Builders, she delivers both performance and durability. Her wide 24-foot beam gives her the feel of a much larger yacht, offering exceptional stability offshore while remaining nimble and easy to handle even for a short-handed or single-handed crew.
Built with strong hulls and a low center of gravity, she inspires confidence in all conditions and has proven herself as a safe and capable ocean-crossing vessel. This owner’s version has never been chartered, preserving her condition and adding to her appeal.
The starboard hull is dedicated entirely to the owner, featuring a spacious master stateroom, desk or vanity area, four hanging lockers, and a large private head with a bath and shower. The port hull provides two comfortable guest cabins with double berths and a second head with a separate shower, offering privacy and comfort for family or guests.
The galley is well appointed with generous counter space and storage, making life onboard both practical and enjoyable. The saloon is open and inviting, with newly upholstered cushions that create a fresh and modern feel.
This boat has been more than just a vessel; it has been a home and a gateway to unforgettable experiences. Now, as the current owners shift their focus to time with family, this incredible catamaran is ready for her next chapter.
If you are searching for a boat that delivers immediate adventure, standout style, and complete readiness, this Admiral 40 is waiting for you. Step aboard and go.
