Pacifico Yachts

[Saltifinch]

We're considering purchasing a 10 meter catamaran from this Russian builder. The boat seems incredible for the low price of $185,000 USD. Anyone know anything about them?

[LeeV]

If you’re considering purchasing one, how much do you know so far?

[Bean Counter]

A sailboat or a power boat multi hull. Their website is pretty scant.

Looks like they have built other boats and are branching out on their own. Ulysses shown on their website is a Malcolm Tennant design not sure about the blue one.


If you are serious a phone call and more details on the actual specifications is probably the order of the day.



Biggest problem will be security of monetary payments and depending on where you are, ensuring they meet the various trade regulations eg. CE in Europe.

Good day time. I bought Pacifico Voyager 99 last year, so I do know subject. Speaking in several words they have some serious issues with quality and I am proceeding to spend money to make catamaran good. But at the same time I think it was good purchase for Russian market, as I did not pay custom fee. If you have concrete questions feel free to ask.

HI thanks for the information, can you let me know the hull number please, also what is the main problems you are having we are looking to import one to see if they are ok to sell, also some pictures would be great , i have a few concerns and am not able to visit the factory to check the quality,

[Saltifinch]

They are doing a good job of updating their websites, and seems like they keep tweaking their design. The first voyager99 was produced in 2017 I think, so I imagine this might account for some of the issues.

When covid has calmed down, we plan to travel to Vladivostok in order to see their factory first. Hard to put down so much money on a boat that doesn't have international reviews yet

[Boonies]

Thanks yes same here , we are also looking at a Dan Leech Cat here in new Zealand they are a semi displacement as well , I think if the PV99 is made to a high standard it will be a great boat

[Saltifinch]

Do you have an approximate price for the Leech 975? It looks extremely similar

[Boonies]

you can do a home build for around 145NZD all in.He charges 10k for the plans. A think fitted out here in New Zealand it would be about $245k with engines etc,
All CNC cut but made out of wood, not fiberglass, still strong with S glass

If you are looking for design plans, you should just go with Albatross Marine design, based out of Thailand. They have designed dozens of yachts, designed the Pacifico yachts, and several other well known builds. One of their employees often posts on forums and is well educated.
