Askari 55 Performance Adventure Catamaran

Askari 55 Performance Adventure Catamaran

The Askari 55 is a high-performance aluminium sailing catamaran purpose-built for sailors who value independence, speed, and strength without compromising comfort. Designed by Du Toit Yacht Design and constructed by Askari Yachts in Cape Town, this performance cruiser blends ocean-going capability with long-range liveaboard practicality.

As the first in a new generation of sailing catamarans from Askari Yachts, the Askari 55 leads a series that will include 49-, 55-, and 60-foot models—all engineered for serious passage-making and versatile interior living.

From her fixed keels and slender hulls to her balanced prismatic form and highly efficient sail plan, every aspect of the Askari 55 is designed for predictable tracking, responsive handling, and sustained performance under sail. The catamaran is as elegant as she is functional—crafted with understated purpose for those who seek to roam widely and comfortably.

Built for extended adventure

The Askari 55 features full standing headroom, a spacious saloon, and open-plan interior options that support life at sea or at anchor. Multiple layout configurations (A, B, and C) cater to a range of owner preferences—from liveaboard luxury to adventure cruising with crew.

The aluminium construction provides long-term structural durability and enhanced safety at sea, while also enabling a high level of interior customisation. Every Askari 55 is built to reflect the owner’s vision—whether that’s optimising for comfort, self-sufficiency, or sustainable systems.

The vessel supports optional hybrid propulsion, allowing for fuel-efficient, low-emission cruising. With exceptional volume and practical detailing, the Askari 55 is ideal for owners seeking the versatility of a performance catamaran and the endurance of a world cruiser.

This is a yacht designed for real sailors. And one we are proud to have brought to life in collaboration with the Askari Yachts team.
