2005 Voyage Yachts Voyage Yachts 500

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the Voyage 500 spreads its volume where it matters most: in the cockpit and bridgedeck. The wide, uncluttered cockpit flows directly into the salon, giving everyone a real gathering space underway or on the hook. Sightlines from the helm are excellent, so you can keep an eye on sails, sea state, and swimmers without leaving your post. High lifelines and sturdy handholds make moving forward feel secure, even when it’s lumpy. The hulls have generous storage in every corner, from deep lockers for cruising gear to clever stowage around the berths. Under sail, these boats are known for an easy, comfortable motion rather than white‑knuckle performance, which keeps guests happy on longer passages.

A Voyage 500 is particularly well suited to the warm, trade‑wind cruising grounds where steady breeze and line‑of‑sight navigation are the norm. The broad beam and powerful rig make efficient work of moderate winds, while the shallow draft lets you sneak into quieter anchorages that deeper monohulls can’t reach. Big water tanks, ample deck space for solar, and generous storage all support independent cruising away from marinas. With multiple private cabins and wide companionways, it’s easy to move people and gear during active charter days or family island‑hopping. The robust construction and straightforward systems also make it easier to maintain the boat in remote yards and small local shipwright shops.
