De Villiers 560 – High Latitude Aluminium Catamaran – Design #242 

This catamaran includes features designed to blend seaworthiness and safety with comfort and performance…..literally a home and business platform on the high seas!

Continues the range of De Villiers designed Aluminium Voyaging Catamarans!

Go-anywhere, rugged marine-grade aluminium construction.

CE Compliant design which meets ISO regulations for Cat A operation and comfortably exceeds Lloyd’s SSC Rule structural design minimums.

The light yet incredibly strong hull material perfectly optimises performance with load-carrying ability!

Aluminium is a highly durable and ductile material – much less brittle and prone to damage than composite hulls. This vessel is beachable and not just on mud or sand!

Aluminium is completely re-cyclable!

The design includes 6 watertight bulkheads for unmatched safety!

Skegs fully protect the rudders and propellers!

Straight shaft drives reduce maintenance and increase safety!

Solar capacity exceeds 3 kW, option for hybrid propulsion!

The engines are housed in separated and dedicated machinery spaces aft – no mess or noise or smelly fumes under your queen size bed!

Internal Helm – unparalleled visibility forward – no need for watchkeeping out in the cold!

Forward Sailing Cockpit – much appreciated by those who “know”! Sometimes copied but rarely understood!

Aft Deck Lounge – uncluttered and not a rope in sight!! Fully covered roof with enclosable sides and aft end.

Medium Volume Interior – Everything in place and a place for everything

Build this boat yourself if you are game enough!

Better still – We are associated with preferred shipyards on 5 continents and in more than 10 countries…..to craft and customise your perfect boat to suit your budget!
