    Admiral Yachts: A South African Legacy of Blue-Water Cruising

    Born in Cape Town in 1999 under the vision of David Bird, Admiral Yachts quickly gained renown for its robust, high-quality catamarans. Leveraging Bird’s extensive marine experience, the company acquired the moulds for the Admiral 38, building a reputation for durable, blue-water capable vessels. In 2011, Celtic Yachts, led by Tim Duncan, took the helm for the Admiral 38 and 40 lines, continuing the brand’s legacy of exceptional South African craftsmanship.

    The Admiral/Celtic Yachts brand stands strong due to its:

    • Robust Construction: Built to endure challenging ocean conditions.
    • Blue-Water Capability: Designed for safe and comfortable extended voyages.
    • Ease of Handling: Simple to sail, even short-handed.
    • Spacious Interiors: Voluminous hulls, ample headroom, and excellent visibility.

    Key Features:

    • LOA: 12.20m (40’0”)
    • Beam: 7.32m (24’0”) for exceptional stability and volume.
    • Draft: Approx. 0.91m (3’0”) for shallow water access.
    • Designer: Angelo Lavranos
    • Power: Typically twin 30hp Yanmar diesel engines.
    • Accommodations: Available in spacious owner’s versions (3 cabins) or 4-cabin layouts, all with generous headroom and well-appointed galleys.
    • On-Deck: Large cockpit, excellent helm visibility, and wide, safe decks.
    • Performance: A truly capable and comfortable sailing vessel, even in demanding conditions.

    The Admiral 40 is more than just a yacht; it’s a meticulously crafted vessel designed for discerning sailors who demand safety, comfort, and performance on their global adventures.

    New Admiral 40 catamarans are available directly from Boat Brokers in Cape Town, South Africa.
