Catamarans
Our two brand new Scape 39 sailing catamarans, Wind Dancer 1 and Wind Dancer 2, were designed by the renowned boat architect Alex Simonis and custom-built in Cape Town, South Africa. They were delivered to Mauritius by sea in 2008 and 2009, respectively.
The Scape 39 is a spacious and stable vessel, built for comfort, safety, ease of viewing and performance. It has large (and very popular!) flat decks and trampolines for lounging in the sun, a huge shaded cockpit with seating for all passengers, and it offers 360 degree views for easy spotting of our abundant marine life, making it the perfect charter cruiser for Mauritius.
For our popular overnight charters the Scape 39 comes with two queen-sized guest cabins, each with a private en suite, solid wood trimming (mainly Teak) and plenty of storage space.
For all other charters the Scape 39 sits comfortably 42 adult passengers and is licensed as such in both South Africa and Mauritius.
Both catamarans are equipped with all-modern navigational instruments and safety devices to ensure passenger safety.
