Slim Description

The final hull of the iconic Gunboat 66 series, SLIM is a high-performance cruising catamaran designed by Morreli & Melvin and built in South Africa. SLIM was launched in 2012 and has been impeccably maintained throughout the years with major refits in 2015 and 2019. She is custom fitted to her owner’s requirements for world-cruising and exploring those places that only a yacht has access to. Her composite fiber construction complimented by a fast displacement racing hull design, SLIM handles any conditions and delivers superior sailing performance. SLIM comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests in 3 cabins, each equipped with walk-in shower, AC, sound system and flat screen TV. Elegant lines, comfort and an extravagant design combine superior performance with luxury and style.
