2019 Dix Harvey DH 550
Yacht price
Overview
Valerie was professionally built by Sea Tribe Yachts of Durban, South Africa and designed jointly by Dudley Dix and Phil Harvey. This DH 550 Cat is a rare find. Having a forward cockpit which functions equally great both for working and relaxing in addition to a fully protected interior helm station. To this brokers knowledge she is newest DH cat out there on the water and best yet, she can be owned for the right price!
The DH 550 is capable of much higher cruising speeds than a typical production catamaran of equal length. Yet she has all the comforts that any owner of performance cat could hope to have, and would be equally at home cruising the world or continuing an exotic charter service in the Indian Ocean with her new owner. Like many South African semi-custom catamarans, the builder paid exquisite attention to detail on her interior. Nor is the yacht lacking any access natural light with it's lovely saloon windows. The DH 550 is both elegant in accommodations and aesthetic.
Lightly chartered in Seychelles so VAT is currently deferred and status can be maintained if elected. Seychelles flag. Owner seriously motivated to sell and offers will be entertained. Contact the listing broker to schedule an appointment.
