If the boat is still showing online, then yes—it’s still available. Rather than the standard preloaded ‘is it available’ message from YachtWorld, it really helps if you can tell us a bit more about what you’re looking for, your timing, whether you need finance( the boat is not tax paid anywhere) and any specific questions you have. That way we can give you something useful straight away.Welcome to Sanctuary
(Name retained)
Sanctuary is a robust, blue-water-capable cruising catamaran that has been extensively rebuilt from her keels up by her long-time professional mariner owner.
Designed by the respected Phil Southwell and properly built in South Africa by Fortuna Yachts, she comes from an era when boats were built for strength, longevity, and real offshore use. Solid below the waterline and constructed before the industry shifted heavily toward lighter production methods, Sanctuary offers a safe, capable, and comfortable alternative to the mass-produced “condo-marans” that dominate much of today’s market.
If your idea of cruising is simple, strong, and stress-free, Sanctuary is well worth your attention.
Her layout is practical and highly efficient, with four cabins and two heads, maximizing usable space without unnecessary complication. The spacious saloon flows naturally into a very chef-friendly galley, while the stand-up navigation station puts the distribution board and electrical breakers exactly where they should be — visible, accessible, and easy to manage.
The interior opens seamlessly into a roomy cockpit with ample seating and immediate access to the helm. Overhead, a recent Nidacore and end -of-days epoxy ( not polyester resin) hardtop that has massive structural strength provides excellent protection from the elements while also allowing safe and easy access to the boom and mainsail.
Designed for practical off-grid cruising, Sanctuary is fitted with 1600 watts of solar, keeping her substantial 1200Ah deep-cycle AGM battery bank properly charged. A 2000W inverter powers everyday essentials, including a coffee maker and other onboard appliances, making life aboard simple and comfortable.
This is a true no-frills, industrial-grade, go-anywhere cruiser — strong, honest, and built to be used. Her systems are straightforward, sensible, and easily accessible, making maintenance and troubleshooting refreshingly uncomplicated.
Highlights include:
No boat is perfect — but Sanctuary gets very close to that sweet spot: a clean, easily sailed, easily maintained, bluewater-capable cruising catamaran ready to take a family safely around the Caribbean and, with the addition of a watermaker, well beyond.
If you are looking for a proven, honest cruising catamaran with real offshore credentials — not a lightly built marina apartment — Sanctuary deserves serious attention. She is the kind of boat that inspires confidence, and boats like this are getting harder to find.
In Short: She is not a French charter toy built before bean counters took over but for sailors who actually want to go to sea.Seller selling because he is 6ft 4 old and creaky and at 72 needs something bigger to move around in.Sad that he has to sell his sweetheart after all the built-in love and attention but she has to make place for something bigger.NEW LISTING...
