The ISLAND SPIRIT 401 is manufactured in Cape Town, South Africa by Fortuna Catamarans. Navel architect Phil Southwell designed the first ISLAND SPIRIT in 1995 and it has evolved to become one of the most luxuriously appointed blue water cruising catamaran in her class. Her gracious lines and high performance hulls, coupled with her ease of handling in all conditions, makes her a favorite among cruisers.
The ISLAND SPIRIT's most striking feature still remains the lavish interior and cockpit space. It is equal to that of a much larger yacht with 7 ft. of headroom at the entrance and 6.5 ft all through the hulls. The unique cockpit design allows walk through access to the "sugerscoops" for easy and safe entry from a tender or dock. The ISLAND SPIRIT has a proven International record and was awarded the CE-Mark in Europe.
This directive is enforced in Europe and is based on the ISO standards.
