Overview

GILLI GIRL, a 2022 Knysna 500SE, brings a distinctive sense of style and comfort to life under sail. A privately owned, never chartered 3-cabin Owner’s Version, GILLI GIRL combines a beautifully curated interior, generous cruising comforts, and an ocean-crossing pedigree that makes her the most capable, well-maintained, and turnkey Knysna on the market. Originally delivered from the shipyard in South Africa, GILLI GIRL crossed the Atlantic on her own bottom before cruising through the Caribbean and up the U.S. East Coast to New York. Since then she has since sailed seasonally between the Northeast and the Florida Keys, logging thousands of miles along the way. Showcased at both the 2023 and 2024 Annapolis Sailboat Shows, GILLI GIRL’s presentation reflects her owners’ disciplined maintenance and attention to detail. A 24V Mastervolt lithium battery bank, expansive solar array, five-sail North Sails inventory, and full Garmin electronics package support a safe and comfortable boat for cruising off-grid. Recent updates include a new hull wrap in 2026, replacement of the starboard rudder bearings, and several new solar panels just to name a few. Inside, high-end galley appliances, thoughtfully selected finishes, and designer tableware, linens, and flooring create a cohesive space that feels like a luxury home on the water. For buyers seeking a well-equipped cruising catamaran with an interior that stands apart from any Knysna on earth, GILLI GIRL deserves a closer look.

 GILLI GIRL is available for private showings by appointment during the…
