2003 Multicap Caraïbes Punch 1500 LC | Shambala

A well proven bluewater catamaran, extensively upgraded and ready to sail, Shambala is a robust Punch 1500 LC built by Multicap Caraïbes to the highly regarded Mortain & Mavrikios design. Constructed in epoxy laminated marine plywood, she offers excellent structural integrity, controlled displacement and a comfortable, sea kindly motion suited to serious offshore cruising.

Built in 2003 and held by only her second owner since 2016, Shambala has benefited from two significant refits completed in 2018 and again in 2024. These comprehensive upgrades ensure that all key systems, rigging and underwater components are current and well maintained, presenting the vessel in genuine ready to cruise condition. Currently located in Phuket, Thailand, she is ideally positioned for immediate cruising or inspection.

The interior layout is practical and spacious, designed for extended liveaboard comfort. The port hull features two double cabins along with a forward technical and workshop space housing the Aquabase 60 L per hour watermaker, which can be easily converted into an additional berth if required. The starboard hull offers a comfortable owner’s aft cabin with en suite head and a separate forward guest cabin, providing excellent privacy and balance onboard. Generous storage, dedicated workspaces and excellent natural ventilation make life aboard comfortable in tropical conditions.

The light filled saloon flows seamlessly to the wide side decks. A forward facing chart table is positioned to port, while the galley to starboard enjoys direct cockpit access and features Corian benchtops, double sinks, an ENO gas stove and oven and twin custom 12 volt refrigeration units. The large protected cockpit offers wrap around seating, quality upholstery, BBQ facilities, freshwater deck showers and extensive storage.

Sailing performance is supported by a Sparcraft aluminium mast, renewed standing rigging, Dyneema running rigging and a versatile sail wardrobe. Twin Volvo D2-55 engines provide reliable power, complemented by excellent electrical autonomy from lithium batteries, solar panels, smart alternators, inverter, charger and a low hour Fischer Panda generator.

Recent 2024 works include a complete rudder system refurbishment, structural beam inspections and repairs and Coppercoat antifouling. Shambala represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a carefully owner maintained bluewater catamaran, ideal for extended offshore cruising and long term liveaboard adventures.
