Overview

A rare opportunity awaits with the nearly new 2023 Royal Cape Majestic 570 Flybridge TAPAS, a catamaran that fuses true ocean-going pedigree with prestigious charter appeal, delivering unparalleled luxury, space, and value—and already booked with over $300,000 in charter revenue in the Virgin Islands for the 2025/26 season. Ordered new and overseen in detail by her current owner, TAPAS reflects meticulous craftsmanship at every stage; the owner personally crewed her maiden passage from South Africa to Florida and then onward to the Virgin Islands after a bespoke charter outfitting in the United States, ensuring flawless execution throughout. With an impeccable charter reputation and peak holiday rates reaching circa $50,000 per week, she is as compelling an investment as she is a sophisticated family yacht.

The new Majestic 570 Flybridge design introduces modernized hull lines, increased freeboard, and larger windows that flood the interior with natural light and elevate visibility, while an elongated profile significantly expands the salon, galley, cockpit, cabins, and deck footprint. A direct staircase from the flybridge to the bow—without detouring down and around—is a signature convenience that improves safety and flow in all sea states. Expansive, flat, non-slip decks with sturdy rails inspire confidence, while the vast flybridge delivers panoramic 360-degree views with refined dining and lounging. A unique aft utility space adds another dining zone, room for BBQ and fishing, and an elegant dive platform that doubles as a tender lift; the deck pizza oven is a family favorite and a delight for kids.

Inside, the sense of volume is remarkable. A spacious wraparound galley opens to an interior dining area, bringing the total number of distinct dining spaces to three, while the broad passageways house a pantry and abundant storage before leading to five private queen cabins with en-suite heads and separate showers—each a tranquil retreat that feels like a personal oasis. Crew quarters are smartly arranged for three with three single bunks, streamlining professional service on charter. TAPAS comes comprehensively equipped for premium guest experiences: solar panels, air conditioning, a water maker, an ice maker, a wine fridge, a pizza oven, a fully customizable menu, Caribbean-made ecofriendly reef-safe toiletries, a bar stocked to guest preference, and a coffee/espresso machine. Her treasure chest of water toys includes rendezvous scuba diving, snorkeling gear, underwater scooters, a wakeboard, a stand-up paddleboard, a ski tube, a 10 ft floating dock, pool noodles, fishing gear, board and card games, a salon television with a quality sound system, and signature TAPAS giveaways. She carries a 14 ft tender with a 50 hp outboard and Bluetooth sound, and the yacht is further distinguished by a second identical backup generator for charter-ready redundancy.

For crewed charters, TAPAS is turnkey: five queen cabins with individual televisions, refined finishes throughout, and thoughtful upgrades that elevate every moment on board. With superior performance, a sterling charter track record in the Virgin Islands, and a design that balances luxury with practical seamanship, this Majestic 570 Flybridge presents an extraordinary chance to own a yacht that amplifies family adventures and generates lucrative charter returns from day one.

DC systems

The DC architecture is engineered for robust autonomy and quiet comfort, centered on a Discover AGM house battery bank delivering 1320 Ah at 12 V from 6 V cells, complemented by three 140 Ahr at 12 VDC Discover AGM start batteries. Two standard 12 VDC alternators are joined by two additional 24 VDC alternators with a smart regulator system, upgrading the vessel to a 24 V Balmar environment for more efficient charging and overall DC performance. A major lithium upgrade adds 1000 A/H at 24 V with Victron VRM and an integrated battery management system, enabling extended air-conditioning runs without the generator. Renewable input flows through six 330 W Fixed Art solar panels, regulated by a Victron MPPT 75-15 and a Victron MPPT solar controller, optimizing harvest and battery health.

On deck and in the rig, three Lewmar 55 electric winches handle loads with fingertip control, a powerful 1500 W Quick windlass with remote makes anchoring effortless, and the Antal mainsheet traveler ensures precise sail trim. A comprehensive 43-circuit DC switch panel ties the system together, backed by a Blue Sea M2 OLED multi-meter and a Victron BMV color monitor. Six analog Wema tank gauges keep reserves transparent, while a bilge monitor with high-water alarm, a Fireboy gas detector and control, and Sirocco fans in all cabins elevate safety and comfort. DC and USB charging is fitted throughout all cabins and the saloon, and entertainment is delivered by a Fusion Apollo system in the salon with four speakers across two zones.

Pumping capability is equally thorough: four Jabsco Gulper bilge pumps, two Rule centrifugal bilge pumps, two Par Max fresh water pumps, and two saltwater pumps serving the toilets, plus a Jabsco Gulper shower pump, Tecma electric flush toilets, and a Jabsco fuel transfer pump. Cold storage and refrigeration are distributed for convenience, with an interior Cruise 130 fridge and matching Cruise 130 freezer, a cockpit Cruise 130 fridge, a National Luna 80 freezer, and a flybridge Cruise 130 fridge. Lighting throughout is efficient and durable, with Hella LED cabin and cockpit illumination, Hella courtesy lighting on stairs, cabins, and cockpit, LED lighting in the engine rooms, and Aqua Signal LED navigation lights alongside an Aqua Signal sealed-beam deck light for night-time operations.

Navigation equipment

Command and control are anchored by Raymarine, with a VHF set paired to a crisp 14-inch Axiom Pro multifunction display. Situational awareness is enhanced by the Raymarine Quantum wireless radar, while a Raymarine P319 fish finder transducer, Raymarine speed, depth, and wind transducers feed data through a Raymarine iTC5 transducer converter to twin Raymarine 170 instrument displays. Precision steering comes from the Raymarine ACU 400 Evolution autopilot and a Raymarine Type 3 hydraulic pump, and the AIS 700 ensures you are seen and informed in even the busiest channels.

AC system

Shore and ship power are seamless thanks to a Kohler 230/240 VAC single-phase generator delivering 12 kW at 50 Hz and 14 kW at 60 Hz, a 50 A shore power connector with a 20 m shore cable, and a Glendinning Cablemaster for tidy handling. A 50 A 230/240 VAC auto-transfer switch manages sources, while the Victron MultiPlus 5000 inverter/charger provides stable inverted power and fast charging. A dedicated AC switch panel, Victron 15‑circuit single‑pole AC multi meters, and Victron power source and fault indicators give clear oversight. Every cabin features AC outlets and integrated USB charger sockets for modern convenience.

Equipment

Daily life on board is elevated by premium appliances: an LG microwave convection oven for culinary versatility, an LG washer/dryer for self-sufficiency, a Bosch dishwasher for effortless cleanup, and a Uline icemaker for endless cold refreshments. Two 80 L Quick water heaters supply generous hot water, while a 150 LPH Hydroelectric desalinator keeps freshwater reserves abundant. The galley centers around a Glem oven and hob, and climate control is refined with Webasto air conditioning: 16000 BTU in the saloon, 16000 BTU serving the port cabins, and 16000 BTU serving the starboard cabins. Entertainment is thoughtfully integrated with a 43" TV in the salon, a 32" TV in the owner’s cabin, and 32" TVs with sound systems in all other cabins.

Tankage

Thoughtful tankage supports extended cruising: freshwater is split between port and starboard 500 L tanks with crossover valves for flexible transfer and management, while hot water is provided by 80 L tanks to port and starboard. Fuel capacity is generous with 700 L to port and 700 L to starboard, supported by a 16 Lpm crossover transfer pump. Black water management includes 200 L holding tanks to port and starboard, deck extraction capability, and gravity discharge through a 1 1/2" outlet, with high black water level indicators for timely service.

Sails

The sail plan is optimized for dependable bluewater cruising. The mainsail is a crosscut Endurance configuration in Dimension Cruise 447 g full‑batten cloth, specified as 2‑ply with a 30%:100% construction focus for durability, and fitted with six full battens supplied by S.A., three reefs, and handled by a Majestic 57 U‑stack pack in Sunbrella with E: 7.50 m and P: 17.60 m. The headsail is a crosscut Endurance furling genoa in Dimension Cruise 397 g (approximately 9 oz) with luff tape, a foam luff flattener, and a Sunbrella UV cover. A versatile asymmetrical spinnaker extends the performance envelope downwind. Control is refined with lazy jacks, battens, and slides to No. 15 specification, while the Majestic 57 trampoline is the rugged Supertramp design.

Safety gear

Prepared for serious passagemaking, TAPAS carries a full suite of safety equipment: an EPIRB, a Viking 12‑man liferaft, and a complete Cat A Class 12 safety inventory. Ground tackle is comprehensive, with a primary 40 kg anchor with chain and warp and a Bruce 25 kg secondary anchor with chain and warp. Dockside and alongside protection comes from eight fenders and eight mooring lines. Emergency steering provides fail‑safe control, while fire protection includes six handheld fire extinguishers and two self‑deploying engine bay fire extinguishers. Spares and repair capability are assured with engine spares, tools, a sail repair kit, and a fiberglass repair kit.

Soft furnishings and finishes

Every touchpoint speaks to refinement and durability. Worktops are finished in Corian, walls are dressed with premium wood laminates, and the floors are 100% waterproof vinyl for beauty that stands up to life at sea. Quilted mattresses and leather or fabric headboards invite deep rest, while the salon and interior seating combine leather and Sunbrella for tactile luxury with practical resilience. In the cockpit, leather and Sunbrella seating are protected by Sunbrella drop sides and back panels with clears and windows that enclose the space when desired. Purpose‑made sun covers shield seats, the liferaft, the BBQ, and the winches. The yacht is delivered with coordinated crockery, cutlery, and bed linen, complete with tasteful scatter cushions to finish the look.
