Description:
The Fortuna Island Spirit 401 is a 40-foot cruising catamaran known for its spacious design, comfortable liveaboard features, robust construction, and solid sailing performance. Built in South Africa by Fortuna Yachts, it is highly regarded for being a well-balanced boat that combines functionality, safety, and comfort with excellent sailing performance. In 2003 the redesigned Island Spirit 401 was launched. The boat was awarded Sail magazines Top Ten in 2003 with a 2003 Boat of the Year nomination. It is constructed with solid glass below the waterline and balsa cored decks. Each hull is separated into multiple compartments with a sealed crush compartment fore and aft making them extremely safe. The Island Spirit 401 is light and agile for its size due to the use of foam core construction, while still offering generous interior space. Built to be lived aboard, the IS 401 has more living space, storage and comfort than any of its contemporary catamaran designs. There are very few catamarans that offer this balance of performance, safety, and excellent living accommodations.

Layout & Comfort:
4-cabin layout: Each hull has two cabins with nice headroom and light. Comfortably sleeps 8, ideal for families or charter use.
2 heads with electric toilets, sinks and separate shower stall
Large, bright saloon with panoramic windows and a practical galley-up layout.
Expansive cockpit that's well-shaded with a hardtop Bimini - great for socializing or dining outside.
