Sealife Boat | 48' Balance 2022

SeaLife is one of the very first Balance 482 to hit the pre-owned market!

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a gorgeous example of the award-winning Balance 482 catamaran. SeaLife is fully equipped and ready to go sailing today. She was originally launched in Cape Town, South Africa in June 2022 and is hull #5 of this coveted high-performance brand. Sealife has recently returned to the US after an exciting season of cruising the Bahamas and has just received her annual regular off-season maintenance. Her owner has positioned Sealife in beautiful St Augustine, FL for ease of showings and sale.

The original design premise for the Balance 482 was to create a catamaran that had wonderful sailing characteristics with luxurious and comfortable accommodations but was set up to still be easily operated by a retired couple. Therefore, these performance cruising vessels are equipped with powerful sail plans and daggerboards which allow them to sail circles around the competition while still being easily managed for shorthanded operation. As the name suggests, it is the perfect balance of sporty sailing characteristics and liveaboard comfort.

Balance Catamarans are well known for their stunning designs, exceptional build quality, and gorgeous fit and finish. They feature industry leading technology such as their signature VersaHelm steering system, Integrel charging technology, carbon fiber reinforced daggerboards, Ullman ASDL tri-radial laminate sails, state-of-the-art electronics suites, etc. The build process for these fantastic vessels incorporates Balance’s “Carbon Cross” design and construction techniques which utilizes E-glass fiberglass with significant Carbon Fiber reinforcement in the high load areas of the hulls and decks. Every Balance 482 is hand laminated and vacuum bagged with vinylester outer skin resin over closed cell foam cores. The end result is a lightweight, stiff, and robust vessel built for world voyaging.

SeaLife has a 3-cabin Owner’s Version layout that is tastefully appointed with several custom touches, a stunning baby blue exterior hull color, and an extensive list of factory and after-market options. She sports all the most modern equipment available for a liveaboard voyager. Several of her equipment highlights include:

48V Victron Lithium House Battery Bank
Integrel Charging System on both engines – 2 x 9kW Capacity
2400 Watts of Solar
Spectra Cape Horn Watermaker
Air Conditioning / Heating throughout - DC high efficiency units can run directly off the batteries
Ullman Performance Sail Package including Screecher and Spinnakers
Full Raymarine Electronics Suite including 2 x Autopilots, Radar, AIS, etc
Oscar Offshore (SEA AI) – Forward Scanning High-resolution thermal imaging camera system
Samsung Washer / Dryer
... And so much more!

SeaLife is U.S. Duty Paid and in turn key condition! A buyer could load her up the day after closing and head for the South Pacific without a second thought. SeaLife is located in St Augustine, FL and available for showings by appointment.
