Yacht Description
Classic sailing cat. QUEST is a 57ft Simonis sailing catamaran, built in 1991 and refit in 2016, set up to sleep 6 guests in 3 queen cabins with en-suite bathrooms.
Easy water access. The swim platform and outdoor shower make the jump from ocean to onboard life quick. Wet hair, rinse, repeat.
Toys for actual days. You have paddleboards and kayaks for low-effort exploring, plus a towable tube, wakeboard, and adult water skis when someone decides they are still 19.
Comfort covered. Air conditioning for sleeping well, sun pads and sun loungers for doing nothing well, and a BBQ plus ice maker to keep meals and drinks simple and on-deck.
Broker Review
Onboard visit
QUEST is a genuinely unique custom catamaran designed by Alex Simone, the same designer behind the Leopard range. Her galley-down layout gives her a completely different feel from the usual catamaran — cozy, retro, and full of character.

She's an amazing boat. She has four huge cabins. Each cabin has its own private wet head. She's comfortable at anchor, at sea, in big weather, and when it's hot. She's super bright and airy.

To find a boat like this these days, you're talking about these very, very, very expensive boats that are this well-appointed.

Transcript — Captain's Interview: Quest, a Custom Catamaran in the Virgin Islands
Captain: I'm a captain only. So, I'm really looking for the folks who want to have a nice private vacation, something customizable that they can go where they want and when they want and stay for as long as they want.
Captain: So, this is a 57-foot custom-built Alex Simonis designed catamaran. It was built in South Africa. It has a unique history here in the US Virgin Islands. It's been here for I think 25 or 30 years.
Captain: She's an amazing boat. She has four huge cabins. Each cabin has its own private head, wet head. It's just an amazing boat. She's comfortable at anchor. She's comfortable at sea. She's comfortable in big weather. She's comfortable when it's hot. You know, she's super bright and airy. She's just an amazing, amazing boat. She's happy everywhere. And she doesn't skimp out on the luxury. You know, to find a boat like this these days, you're talking about these very, very, very expensive boats that are this well-appointed.
Captain: We do a little bit of sailing coaching as well. So, if you want to, you know, learn how to sail, maybe come out of the team building experience, that kind of thing, we can definitely accommodate that. And then obviously, you know, families with kids, you've got enough room for everybody to sprawl out. So, if you guys are interested, give us a call and, yeah, then we'll get you on board. Let's explore together. Let's go. Let's explore together. We'll find our favorite spots together. How about that?
