After three seasons in the Caribbean, Gary and Katie loved the cruising lifestyle so much they're moving up to a new Balance 540. There's no clearer testament to their trust in the boat, the build, and the brand.

Apogee is now available through the Balance Certified Pre-Owned Program.

Commissioned in 2023, she comes fully outfitted with upgraded electrical systems, Starlink and Peplink connectivity with remote monitoring, a full offshore spares package, and a sail inventory stored in climate-controlled lofts every off-season.

Where we save weight, and why some tradeoffs are worth it.

Real safety glass isn't the lightest option on a performance catamaran but it's non-negotiable. Offshore visibility matters, especially at night, and we won't compromise that with lower-grade materials just to shave off weight.

There's more to the window story, though. Our design team eliminated the centre mullion in the forward saloon, opening up an almost uninterrupted view. Larger overhead hatches followed, pouring natural light and continuous airflow through the same space.

We save weight where we can, so we can invest it exactly where it counts.

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.
