Royal Cape Catamarans Majestic 500 - New Arrival

The Royal Cape Catamaran Majestic 500 provides a huge amount of usable living space in a 5 cabin design.  They are well known for their quality of construction, stability in ocean conditions, performance under sail, and their comfortable accommodations.  The design of wide beam hulls allows for reduced draft and much greater natural buoyancy than a narrow beam hull shape, without affecting excellence performance.
