Design and Construction
Royal Cape Catamarans builds the Majestic series hulls using vacuum-bagged glass-reinforced plastic with a solid fiberglass layup below the waterline and balsa coring above the waterline, a construction approach carried into the 570 Fly. The hull itself is a fiberglass-solid catamaran with twin keels and a spade rudder, the deck likewise of solid fiberglass. With a displacement-to-length ratio of 147.95 and a comfort ratio of 17.11, the platform is conceived for loaded offshore cruising rather than bare-boat lightness, and the capsize ratio of 3.03 places it within recognized multihull stability norms for a cruising catamaran of this scale.
Rig and Handling
The 570 Fly carries a fractional sloop rig with a mast height of 22.70 meters above the waterline, supporting a 108-square-meter mainsail and a 76-square-meter genoa for a total documented sail area of roughly 1,980 square feet. Propulsion is handled by two 80 HP engines driving the twin-hull platform, a configuration that gives precise docking control absent on single-screw cats. The 11.5 or 13 kW generator and 10,000 W inverter feed a high-demand house electrical system, supported by two 140 Ah start batteries at 12 volts DC standard factory equipment. Fuel is carried in two 600-liter tanks and water in a 1,000-liter tank, figures consistent with the boat's long-range cruising intent.
Accommodations
The flybridge variant distinguishes itself through an elevated helm and social space, and the interior is fitted for live-aboard levels of comfort from the factory. The salon houses a 50-inch Smart TV, and all cabins are equipped with 32-inch Smart TVs, with a sound system extended to the salon, cockpit, and flybridge. Soft furnishings and linen are included as standard equipment, and an electric swim/tender platform bridges the cockpit to the water for tender operations and boarding.
Known Issues
The documented technical record for the Majestic 570 Fly contains no reported structural defects, systemic failures, or owner-reported problem areas. The available authority sources restrict themselves to specification and equipment confirmation, and no survey, owner report, or period review in the record describes degradation, water intrusion paths, or rigging concerns specific to this model.
Refits and Ownership
Given the absence of documented deficiencies, ownership considerations center on the management of the boat's substantial factory-fitted systems. The generator, inverter, and distributed audiovisual network represent the most complex onboard infrastructure, and the electric swim/tender platform is a mechanically actuated component requiring periodic service. The twin 80 HP engines and dual fuel systems are conventional in layout, and the solid below-waterline hull layup avoids the scan-delamination concerns associated with cored underwater structure.
The Verdict
The Majestic 570 Fly is a large, well-equipped cruising catamaran that extends the Majestic lineage into flybridge territory without departing from the marque's vacuum-bagged GRP construction. Its specifications describe a boat built for sustained independent cruising with generous factory amenities.
Pros
- Large flybridge catamaran with 57-foot overall length and 28-foot beam for volume
- Twin 80 HP engines aid maneuvering and redundancy
- Comprehensive factory equipment including electric swim platform and full AV suite
- Solid fiberglass below waterline reduces cored-hull risk
Cons
- No documented known issues in the record, leaving long-term defect history uncharacterized
- High electrical and generator load demands ongoing system maintenance
