Overview
"Jabulani" is a special Africat, she was built in 2006 delivered to the USA in late November 06, commissioned in Ft. Lauderdale, and put into service in January of 2007. The owners were very involved in the design and build of this boat making 2 trips to Africa during the build-out process, where they made numerous custom changes.
