2016 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 respected Mortain & Mavrikios design, offering strength, space and genuine offshore capability for experienced multihull sailors. Constructed in epoxy-laminated marine plywood, she delivers excellent structural integrity, controlled displacement and a comfortable, sea-kindly motion.

With only her second owner since 2016, Shambala has benefitted from two major refits completed in 2018 and again in 2024, ensuring all critical systems, rigging and underwater components are fully up to date. Currently located in Phuket, she is presented in well-maintained, ready-to-cruise condition.

Her interior layout is generous and practical for extended liveaboard cruising. The port hull features two double cabins plus a forward technical and workshop space housing the Aquabase 60 L/h watermaker, easily convertible to an additional berth. 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. Abundant storage, dedicated workspaces and excellent natural ventilation make life aboard comfortable in tropical climates.

The light-filled saloon connects seamlessly to the wide side decks. A forward-facing chart table sits to port, while the galley to starboard benefits from direct cockpit access, Corian benchtops, double sinks, ENO gas stove and oven and twin custom 12-volt refrigeration units. The large, protected cockpit features wrap-around seating, quality upholstery, BBQ, freshwater 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, smart alternators, inverter, charger and a low-hour Fischer Panda generator.

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