Buying new

Buy a new Knysna from the exclusive North American dealer.

Just Catamarans has been Knysna Yacht Company's sales and service partner since June 2023, and we are the exclusive North American Knysna Sales and Service Center. Our brokers have helped clients order new boats such as the 500SE ALORA, hull #100, and SHIFTING GEARS, hull #105.

Every new Knysna is built to order. We take you through the 500SE and the new 550, layouts, equipment, finishes, build slots and delivered pricing. We bring Knysnas to US boat shows and help arrange a visit to the yard in South Africa during the build.

After launch, each new owner gets a seven-day orientation in Knysna. Back in the US, our Fort Lauderdale service team looks after your boat. Moving up from another boat? Our brokers can sell your current catamaran while your Knysna is built.

About Knysna

Knysna: bluewater catamarans from South Africa.

Every Knysna is built at the Knysna Yacht Company shipyard in Knysna, on South Africa's Garden Route, with the formidable Agulhas current on the doorstep. The boats are known for stability, strength and comfort on long passages.

The Knysna 500SE, designed by Angelo Lavranos, comes as an owner's version or with four en-suite cabins, and is fully equipped as a liveaboard. Because every boat is built to order, each used Knysna has its own layout, equipment and finishes.

Used Knysnas are found around the world, from the US to Europe and South Africa. Our brokers arrange viewings, surveys and sea trials wherever the boat is.

Questions

Used Knysna catamarans: FAQ

Is Just Catamarans a Knysna dealer?

Yes. Just Catamarans is the exclusive North American Knysna Sales and Service Center, partnered with Knysna Yacht Company since June 2023. We sell new Knysnas built to order, and list and sell used ones.

Where are Knysna catamarans built?

Who designs Knysna catamarans?

The Knysna 500SE is designed by Angelo Lavranos. The new Knysna 550 was designed with VDS Marine Design.

Should I buy a used or a new Knysna?

A used Knysna is available sooner and is usually already equipped for cruising. A new Knysna is built to your choice of layout, equipment and finishes, with delivery set by the build slot. We handle both, so we can compare a used boat with what a new one would cost and when it could be ready.

What happens when a new Knysna is delivered?

Each new owner gets a seven-day orientation on the boat's systems and handling in Knysna before sailing away or shipping the boat. Our Fort Lauderdale service team can commission and look after it in the US.

Can you sell my Knysna?

Yes. As the North American dealer we know the buyers looking for Knysnas, and our brokers market used Knysnas worldwide, wherever the boat is.
