BROKER'S COMMENT: I'M PROUD TO INTRODUCE PROBABLY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HIGH-PERFORMANCE CATAMARAN EVER MADE!!!

********full description and info including video walkthrough coming soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Balance 526 catamaran "Pippilotta" isn't just any Balance 526. While the model is already renowned as an exceptional blue-water cruising vessel, combining performance, comfort, and innovative design, Pipilotta, hull #23, is upgraded to an unparalleled level, excelling in both performance and luxurious refinement.

Every detail has been carefully considered to ensure she meets the demands of the most discerning sailor, whether heading on a transoceanic voyage or anchoring in a secluded paradise.

She is an owner's 3 cabin version, in a distinctive metallic copper hull color that sets it apart from other catamarans and contributes to its striking appearance. The color complements the sleek and sporty lines of the Balance 526, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal.

Pipilotta was always crewed, completely factory debugged, and now fine-tuned after her delivery in mid-2024. and has served as a factory demo boat on various yacht shows since. Do not miss the opportunity to get her now instead of sitting on the factory's waiting list for months! She comes more affordable than ordering new from scratch AND she already did her long delivery travel towards the world's best cruising grounds so there won't be additional costs involved with time (and money) consuming delivery from her home factory in South Africa. It's a win-win!

The list of upgrades is just too long, let's name a few that would be considered the most important ones:

  • CARBON fiber upgrades such as carbon fiber roof, carbon fiber trunks with carbon daggerboards
  • Victron Lithium-ion battery package with extra option of x2 LifePo4 batteries glass solar panels 400W each including solar regulator
  • Dual Integrel 9kW (one for each engine) system
  • first unit of 526 featuring a second galley in the cockpit
  • custom ordered premium quality plumbing systems equipment
  • Infinity woven flooring from Vyvafabrics inside and out in cockpit
  • ASTender Coast 340 Jockey Carbon dinghy with Mercury 15hp outboard, beach package, flexiteek nonskid decking for seating and double bottom, additional hull reinforcement in outer hull layer, boarding ladder
  • Dessalator AC Cruise D100 Watermaker with automatic pressure regulation D100
  • Starlink

and much, much more...

Its sleek lines and spacious interior are designed for comfort, while the innovative Versa Helm provides a versatile sailing experience, allowing for easy handling in various weather conditions. Equipped with advanced technology, including a sophisticated electrical system powered by solar panels and dual Integrel 9kW e-power system, this catamaran is perfect for long voyages without sacrificing modern conveniences.

Whether navigating coastal waters or getting ready for an ocean adventure, Pipilotta promises to deliver an exceptional sailing experience.

With her foam core hulls and decks, carbon daggerboards, heavily carbon reinforced structures, and full epoxy construction, shes built and sails just like a high-performance racing cat yet remains amazingly easy to operate and maintain.

The 526 was awarded Import Boat of the Year by Cruising World magazine as well as Best Multihull Over 50 Feet, and shes been winning awards ever since, including the first to finish in the 2023 Cape to Rio Race. But here comes a twist.she is a true luxury liveaboard voyaging catamaran - one of the fastest out there.

The 526 was the first catamaran to utilize our now-famous 90-degree pivoting VersaHelm.

With her owner-version configuration, the Balance 526 easily accommodates six to eight people. And Balances innovative salon table converts into a queen-size bed so you can always host another couple. It is also a place to hang out, read a book, or sleep when your partner is on watch. Her master shower aft is luxurious. The 526 sports 610 headroom, boasts a large U-shaped galley and offers more real wood hand-made cabinetry than any performance catamaran of her size and class.

Shes a pleasure to move about on whether thats cooking, sleeping, lounging, bathing, dining or entertaining friends and family. There is a place to store everything on the 526, and a lot of places to just hang out and relax. You can pilot her up top in fair weather, pilot her down in the cold, you can lounge and read inside or outside, turn your tables into beds, into dining tables, into pleasure nooks for reading or watching the latest film.

If you love to sail, and hate settling for anything but the best, the Balance 526 is in a class all her own.
