Vision 444: A Cat That’s Ready To Roam

• By Contributing Partner
• December 7, 2023

After stepping aboard the Vision 444 catamaran at the fall 2023 Annapolis Sailboat Show, it was immediately apparent that this was a cat of a different sort compared with the several other midsize production models on display. Let’s start with the handy fold-down boarding doors located on the aft quarter of each hull that allow you to take a simple, convenient step into the cockpit. It was an innovation introduced on an earlier model that was designed around the needs of a handicapped sailor and then adopted because, well, it was a good idea.

Then right inside the salon, to starboard, there sat a full-fledged forward-facing nav station. Does any other cat builder bother with a dedicated piloting space these days? Can’t think of one, but at sea, it’s mighty handy to have a place to settle in and update the log, work the computer, or check the charts—all while keeping an eye on instruments, systems, and the sea ahead.

At its yard in Knysna, South Africa, Vision Yachts produces one model, the 444, and each boat, so far at least, seems to evolve with the technology and gear available. Buyers’ ideas are also considered and put to good use when they make sense, said David Stein, the owner of Jubilee, Hull No. 8.

Stein picked up Jubilee at the yard in Knysna, sailed to Mozambique for a shakedown cruise, then crossed the Atlantic, via St. Helena, to Grenada. After a season in the Caribbean, he sailed the boat north (the rig is Intracoastal Waterway-friendly, he reports), arriving in Chesapeake Bay in time for the show. After 14,000 miles at sea, he said he was looking forward to sailing many more.

During a walk-through, he was meticulous about detailing innovations developed before his boat was built, and what’s available on models that can be ordered now. The evolving design means each new boat carries the latest equipment, such as the lithium power system on Stein’s boat.

Vision’s hulls, deck, and house are vacuum-infused using vinylester resin and foam coring. The hulls, which sport mini keels, are fabricated with a matrix of watertight boxes beneath the soles. Composite water and fuel tanks are also built into the hulls.

Jubilee is powered by a pair of 40 hp Yanmar diesels (38 hp Nanni diesels are standard on current models), and the engines are located under the aft berth in each hull. The beds lift up, providing good all-round access to the motors, and maintenance can be done out of the elements. Despite their interior location, under power, the Vision was a relatively quiet boat with sound levels ranging from 60 to 68 decibels, depending on engine speed. (The Nanni’s are approximately 30 percent quieter.)

On Jubilee , the owner’s cabin is located aft in the starboard hull, and includes a spacious head and shower. Far forward, in place of a guest cabin, there’s a handy tool shop/man cave, complete with workbench and vice for making repairs underway. In the port hull, there’s an athwartships berth forward, with a head and shower in the forepeak; a double berth aft, also with head and shower, is located aft. 

Large storage lockers sit amidships in each hull. Inside them, electrical circuits, systems and plumbing are easily accessed; every wire and hose is clearly labeled.

Jubilee was well-mannered under sail. The rack-and-pinion steering is silky smooth and responsive. In 10 to 12 knots of wind, our speeds were consistently in the mid 7s to over 8 knots in the puffs. 

Seated at the raised helm station, with sail-control lines within easy reach and with good visibility all around, the boat loped comfortably along. With its practical layout, plenty of solar power and lithium batteries for living off the grid, and a well-thought-out sail plan, clearly the 444 is a boat built for sailors with visions of going places.

Elegance that’s more than skin deep

Built by sailors for sailors, the Vision 444 has been inspired by thousands of miles spent at sea understanding the demands of a vessel and her crew, years of experience building custom catamarans, and a passion to produce the perfect blue water cruiser. Boat builder James Turner and Vision Yachts have created this 44’4” lightweight performance vessel with unique features and an impressive standard inventory that sets this catamaran above the rest.

Cabinets Dedicated to Specific Tasks

The Vision 444 is constructed with an innovative resin infusion technology with all support struts and davits made from advanced composite and integrated into the Vision 444 to create a strong yet lightweight vessel. All furniture is structurally bonded to the hull in a very ergonomic design.

The layout of the 444 has been carefully thought through with every detail… The midship service lockers in each hull offer easy access to shut off valves, filters, sea strainers, & pumps. There are only two bilges in each hull, one in the service locker and one in the engine room. Fuel line hoses and electrical wiring have their own dedicated conduits. The Lithium Ion batteries are under the saloon seats, and the engines are under the bunks which allow comfortable, safe, and easy access. A bench seat in the engine room with dedicated tools, storage for spare parts, ventilation, and lighting make working on your engines a breeze. Access to the rudder system is in the starboard stern locker. Every locker has ample space for access or storage, and a room in the starboard bow (accessed through the master shower walk through) contains a complete work bench with a vice and additional storage.

Ease of Operation. Everything on Hand

All windows and hatches in the saloon provide a crystal-clear vision of the horizon. The forward-facing navigation station in the saloon is perfectly placed. GPS can link up to the TV for a massive chart plotter display. The flooring is flush throughout and the L- shaped door between the cockpit and saloon doubles the space while open and offers that indoor/outdoor living style.

The side access door is great for boarding, loading, and accessibility. Wide level decks are clear of all running rigging, and the flush mount hatches give you the confidence to move around safely. Two standard electric winches and running rigging led back to the helm provide ease of operation for single-handed sailing. The mainsheet bridle system (eliminating the traveler and tracks) is simple to use in conjunction with the self-tacking jib. Atkinson’s theory calibrated rudders help to maintain drive when going through tacks and jibes. The comfortable helm offers seating for two that has a commanding position with a view over both bows and 360-degree visibility.

Highest Quality of Finishes Throughout the Vessel

The deck sole in the cockpit, on side decking, and on the fore decks is EVA foam padding, a UV resistant material that is very resilient, like a high-quality yoga mat with great grip. The cockpit offers ample seating with a large teak table. Stainless steel tubing that retracts into the transom bulkhead provide safety when at sea.

In the saloon, the U-shaped settee is standard with leather and windows are single panel flat glass. All vertical finishes are quarter sawn reconstructed oak veneer with an oil finish which is easy to maintain or to replace without matching wood grains if needed. Quartz composite countertop with stainless steel refrigerator/freezer and all high-end appliances surrounded by stainless grab rails throughout give a beautiful open living environment and safety when under way.

A sailor first and foremost, our man is not so much a jack-of-all-trades but more master of them all when it comes to building a catamaran. He developed the specifications for the Vision 444, a robust yet lightweight and high-performance blue water catamaran. Inside, this multihull boasts particularly generous headroom (6’11”/2.1 m in the nacelle and 6’2”/1.89 m in the cabins). The construction is in infusion, and all technical components are carefully assembled to facilitate maintenance operations. The 444, currently the only model in the range, was launched in 2019. Since then, some fifteen units have been built, with the pace accelerating over the last 12 months to 5 hulls. Length overall: 44’4” (13.5 m) Waterline length: 43’ (13.1 m) Beam: 24’11” (7.6 m) Draft: 3’9” (1.15 m) Air draft: 65’3” (19.9 m) Light displacement: 19,840 lbs (9 t) Maximum load: 5,500 lbs (2.5 t) Mainsail: 719 sq ft (66.8 m²) Self-tacking jib: 313 sq ft (29.1 m²) Engines: 2 x 37 HP Fuel: 200 US gal (757 l) Water: 220 US gal (833 l)

Vision 444 - key west boat show,  key west boat show and additional information on the vision yachts 444.

We had a great trip down to Key West (okay, actually it was the next island up; Stock Island). The Stock Island Marina Village and adjoining Perry Hotel are absolutely beautiful.  If you are in the area and need a place to stay (and have the means!), it is a great resort.  We were fortunate in that we booked it early for the event and got the room at 1/3 the price it was the week leading up to the boat show.  Admittedly, it was Spring Break, so that may be their peak price for the year for all I know.

We had spoken to Tommy and Amy from Sail Away Catamarans a few times before the event and even had a chance to speak with Thomas and Terri, the owners of Kon-Tiki ahead of time too.  What an absolutely great group of people!

Additional Information

Boat performance, a questions was asked by youtube user ted vdmerwe  about the boat's performance..

Great list. Doesn't seem to include solar? Is it not standard? Thanks

Very Sorry Dex, I missed this when it came in and just came across it now. Solar is optional, however most owners are opting for quite a few LG panels. We will have 3000 watts of solar on your boat.

Meet the VisionF 60

• By Yachting Staff
• December 22, 2022

VisionF Yachts has introduced the VisionF 60, a catamaran expected to begin deliveries in spring 2024.

The boat is a fiberglass build with a nearly 33-foot beam and a draft just over 2 feet that is projected to have a top speed of 21 knots.

“Clients can choose between having the galley on main deck or in one of the hulls, and from multiple accommodation options, including four or three double cabins—including a spacious master stateroom—with two doubles and a kid’s cabin, or a guest cabin can be used a gym,” VisionF Yachts founder Coskun Bayraktar stated in a press release.

Relaxation spaces include the foredeck lounge and dinette, alfresco dining on the main deck and a flybridge with sunbathing space.

Standard power will be twin 360-horsepower Volvo Penta IPS600 diesels for a projected top speed of about 21 knots. Solar panels can be added to the deckhouse for additional power generation.

When is construction expected to start on Hull No. 1 of the VisionF60?In early 2023. Look for owners to start taking deliveries in spring 2024.
