Real glass windows on a performance catamaran?
It might be the one compromise where we actually add weight to the Balance Range, but for good reason: Safety at sea.

Real safety glass gives you the visibility you need, especially at night from the helm station.
Because offshore, visibility is everything.

Century club! 💯🍾 Meet Takoda, the Balance 502 and 100th Balance catamaran launched.

From the 526 that found the balance between bluewater performance and life aboard, through the 482, 442, 580, and flagship 750, every hull taught us something. Takoda carries ten years of that owner feedback in her carbon core construction.

Thank you to our team of builders, designers at Du Toit Yacht Design and our owners who have carved this journey with their hulls.

With the 464 and 540 on the horizon, we excited to keep growing this community.

Fair winds, @‌sailing_takoda. Stay in balance.

On her shakedown passage from Cape Town the Balance 502 TwinFin saved her best for last.

274 Miles in a day, a noon-to-noon run from Fernando de Noronha to Grenada under delivery captain Daniel De Klerk (DBS Yacht Deliveries), with owners Colin and Karen.

Swipe through to check out the official ship logs. Beyond the numbers, they capture their life at sea. Dropping and re-hoisting sails as squalls hit, mid-ocean swims in total calms, clearing Sargasso w**d from the prop, and tracking Starlink satellites in the pre-dawn dark.

Congratulations to the crew on a safe crossing from South Africa.

"I'm here in Cape Town and this is the best part of my job. To see the build and meet the people!" - Patrick Roscoe, Balance COO.

Patrick recently toured our Cape Town yard for a look inside the Balance 464 and 502 hulls. Full carbon core interior. Carbon bulkheads laminated straight into the hull, no free-floating structure, nothing glued. The result is a lighter, stiffer, quieter, and faster boat.

At any given time, 10 to 20 master craftspeople are working on a single hull, hand-finishing every component before the production line advances roughly every 14 days.

Nerd out with Patrick on the full build walkthrough on our Youtube channel.

Dual-purpose storage that breathes at anchor.

The Balance 502's forward wet lockers are engineered as a solution for tropical cruising. They keep your gear secure and dry while pulling double duty as a "forced air cooling" system for the interior.

This interconnected design means you can lock off the hatches during a tropical downpour and still have fresh air flowing into the cabins below.

Storage and ventilation, built into the same space.

Cooking up a storm in Tiger Lily's purpose-built galley.

Whether at anchor or eating up the miles offshore, @‌seaearthsail and @‌perrinelouvette with @‌outerpassage know how to make the most of the galley. Beyond the luxury finishes, the Balance 502 galley is built for offshore ergonomics, keeping the chef secure in heavy seas without sacrificing the gourmet experience at anchor.

This is an interior that feels like home for serious cruisers. You don't have to live out of a spartan, cramped kitchen to own a catamaran that can fly.
