Knysna 500SE For Sale | 2023
2023 model Knysna 500 SE
There can be no mistaking the true blue water credentials of Knysna catamarans.
With a design ethos to build boats ready to tackle any and all cruising grounds, the Knysna 500 SE is equally at home coastal port hopping before heading to the horizon when the time is right.
As standard, Kynsna offer a very comprehensive inventory including generator and air-conditioning, lithium batteries, watermaker, full Garmin navigation electronics, electric winches plus more.
This example of the 500 SE comes with extras and options over standard including a wardrobe of North Sails, full solar array, a further lithium battery set up plus joinery and upholstery upgrades below decks.
Compare the Knysna 500 SE to production boats of a similar size and you´ll be struck by the difference in quality of the fit and finish from this yard.
If you are looking to cover the miles quickly in comfort and style, the Knysna 500 SE must be worthy of serious consideration.
Currently cruising the Eastern Med, please contact Ancasta, Port Hamble for further information and to discuss viewing arrangements.
