Explore the world in a Balance Catamaran

A Pure Sailing Machine

Built in Cape Town, South Africa, the Balance 502 is a next-generation performance cruiser. Engineered for speed with a Carbon Core in primary structures (bulkheads, beams, daggerboards, trunks, rudders) keeps her light and stiff, delivering lively acceleration and confident passagemaking.

A Helm Station you’ll love

The 502 carries Balance’s signature VersaHelm™, so you can steer in the open air or from the protected aft position with excellent four-corner visibility in either mode. This new model also introduces the VersaStern for smarter deck flow at the transoms. These small details make sailing and life aboard easier and more enjoyable in all weather.

Performance Meets Comfort

The 502’s interior blends modern, warm finishes and real-wood cabinetry with practical liveaboard design, private staterooms, a bright salon, and thoughtful storage for cruising. Also featuring the new VersaDrive diesel-electric hybrid option from Integrel Solutions for quieter operation and meaningful fuel savings supported by solar and more battery capacity.

Note: Interior photos shown are renderings. Updated photos of Tiger Lily will be added soon.
