S/V Swish is a Georgetown, BS based 1996 Voyage Mayotte For Sale By Broker. Responses to inquiries may come from a broker who is representing the owner as a fiduciary. This owner requires financial settlement only. No trades.

S/V Swish is a 1996 Mayotte 47 catamaran. The Mayotte 47 is the precursor to the Voyage 50 as Voyage Yachts bought Mayotte around 1996. Overall identical except the Voyage has extended sugar scoops.

She is a comfortable, good looking catamaran with an outstanding galley up and main salon, large well protected cockpit, and four en-suite, queen-sized berths with an additional single captain’s berth. Swish has been lived aboard and well cared for with a few owner‑captained crew charters during the past seven years we have owned her. She is ready for some lucky people to take her anywhere in the world.

All Mayotte cats are CE certified and widely acknowledged for their quality, performance, ease of handling and low maintenance. She sails to weather very well.

Her interior is comfortable and inviting with 6 ft 6 in headroom and lots of ventilation, and the saloon is spacious and offers great views of the surroundings. This yacht has four spacious cabins each with its own bath, accommodating up to eight passengers who can sail and play in comfort. The engines are not in the living area but in dedicated separate engine rooms. Her sailplan is sufficient for good performance and well rigged; the mainsail and dinghy, with telescoping boom derrick, are hoisted with an electric winch.

Its extra wide beam offers outstanding stability, safety and exceptional space in the huge saloon, cockpit and on deck. The beautiful gourmet upper level galley shares its large panoramic-view windows with the saloon and bar that form an exceptional airy and bright integrated entertainment area.

This yacht has a huge amount of volume allowing for ample storage. The comfortable four-cabin en-suite layout would be ideal for chartering or extended family cruising. The deck areas are wide, flat and safe with a large forward deck area. The cockpit is massive with plenty of seating and entertaining area.

S/V Swish can be beached or stand on keels without damaging rudders. Swish is currently sailing in the Caribbean. She is in good condition with significant upgrades, including hauled and bottom painted.

She sails well, tacks easily, and has better motion than her smaller cousins. Just hauled in September 2022 at R&B Boatyard in Spanish Wells where two coats of long‑lasting bottom paint were professionally applied. Swish is sail-away ready.
