S/V Carpe Ventum is a Puerto Velero based 2002 Voyage 440 For Sale By Owner. This owner requires financial settlement only. No trades.
The Voyage 440 is a proven bluewater platform — winner of Cruising World’s Boat of the Year 2002 and Best Cruising Multihull 2002, and the first multihull to win the overall sailboat of the year award. Judges praised the model for its exceptional blend of performance, build quality and attention to detail, qualities that established the 2001–2004 owner’s versions as a benchmark for production cruising cats. Most examples have seen only one or two owners since new, evidence of their longevity and desirability.
This particular Voyage 440 is a true ocean‑going, live‑aboard catamaran presented in excellent condition and ready for immediate cruising. The wide beam delivers generous interior volume and comfortable separation of accommodations. The practical, fully equipped galley-up layout supports easy provisioning, meal preparation and socializing while underway or at anchor. The three-cabin owner’s configuration offers three queen‑sized berths, providing spacious private cabins ideally suited for family or extended cruising crew. The solid construction and quality joinery are evident throughout — the fit and finish consistently impress visitors, who often assume the boat is much newer than it is. Built to last, this Voyage will outlive many more recent production boats constructed to lower standards. If you are seeking a seaworthy, comfortable and well-engineered bluewater catamaran with a pedigree for offshore passagemaking, this Voyage 440 is an exceptional candidate for your next adventure.
