The VOYAGE 590: Best Charter Boat of the Year

  • July 17, 2022

VOYAGE Yachts and VOYAGE Charters are not like other companies. In an alliance that has launched and delivered some 280 boats since 1995, the family enterprise encompasses boatbuilding, yacht sales, marina operations, marine-technical service and charter management. In 2002, the VOYAGE 440 was the first multihull to win Cruising World ’s top Boat of the Year award. Now, 20 years later, the company’s flagship VOYAGE 590 has won Best Charter Boat in the same contest.

Robin and Jo-Ann Downing are the owners and directors of VOYAGE Charters BVI and along with their three children and their spouses, they also run Soper’s Hole Wharf & Marina, the adjacent full-service West End Boatyard, and the sale of all new and used VOYAGE yachts. Robin was formerly the lead boatbuilder at VOYAGE Yachts in Cape Town, South Africa, where he remains a partner. VOYAGE Charters is the sole dealer for VOYAGE Yachts.

In 2022, as in 2002, CW ’s Boat of the Year judges were impressed by VOYAGE Yachts’ new-boat testing regime. Other companies typically run quality-control tests by dipping their newly launched boats into a pool and spraying them down for leaks. By contrast, every new catamaran built by VOYAGE Yachts is tested in emphatically real-world conditions; it sails on its own bottom from the notorious Cape of Storms across the Atlantic Ocean for more than 5,000 miles to the VOYAGE Charters base in Tortola. Once there, the new yacht undergoes final commissioning at the family-run service yard, correcting any faults revealed in the shakedown before handover to the new owner.

The VOYAGE 590: Six Sumptuous Suites in 60 Feet

Robin Downing’s conception for the VOYAGE 590 was a tall order to fill: six private en-suite cabins of equivalent scale, the requisite quarters and working equipment to retain two top professional crew, and state-of-the-art power-management systems to keep the spaces cool and quiet in the tropics—all in a boat with satisfying sailing performance and fetching good looks. Downing ultimately found the right partner to work out such knotty design problems, Cape Town yacht designer Phil Southwell.

“Phil has a fantastic brush,” Downing says.

The 590 is solidly built of two principle parts: the hull the deck, each hand-laid and vacuum-bagged glass fibers over closed-cell PVC foam core. Vinylester resin in the outer skin coat protects the boat against osmotic blistering. Interior furniture is pressure-laminated veneer over marine ply and composite structures.

It’s not only the private cabins that are well-designed to accommodate 12 guests, but also the open-plan public spaces. Four separate areas provide guests with the room to spread out separately or to gather socially, whether in the weather or protected from it. The flybridge design allows guests to join in the fun of sailing the boat—or to have nothing whatsoever to do with it.

From Smart Tech to Quiet Comfort

The VOYAGE 590 comes in one of two packages: electric or diesel propulsion. In both versions, the boat is engineered for uncommon comfort and efficiency.

“This is a very techie boat,” says Ed Sherman, Boat of the Year judge and longtime education director of the American Boat and Yacht Council.

Again, Downing had set a tall bar for his design team: All six guest cabins must be air-conditioned without running the generator at night. How did they crack that nut? With a 43-kilowatt bank of lithium batteries, powered by two 16-kilowatt gensets. Frigomar variable-speed air-conditioning units deliver the efficiency to make it possible. “They’ll come down from 10,000 Btu to 3,000 Btu,” Downing says. “They don’t start and stop. There’s no ramping up. So, instead of running the genset 24/7, it typically runs four to six hours during the day when guests are off the boat.”

For ultimate quiet, VOYAGE Yachts offers the 590 with Bellmarine/Transfluid electric propulsion—and double the battery capacity.

The VOYAGE 590: For Sailing, for Investing, for Living Aboard

Since Hurricane Irma decimated the BVI charter fleet in 2017, VOYAGE Charters has experienced more demand than it’s had boats available. To fill that gap, the first 10 VOYAGE 590s have been sold into the charter fleet, as will the next five or so. “But there’s a growing market for a liveaboard version,” says Peter Jones, who manages yacht sales for the company. Look for that version with a larger owner’s cabin, and fewer cabins overall, toward the end of 2023.

In the meantime, VOYAGE Yachts and VOYAGE Charters have shown us what refinement can come from repeatedly working a design problem over and over again till the right answer shows itself.

50 Degrees North is proud to be a Norwegian global tour operator for Hurtigruten and Havila. Experience the natural, unspoiled beauty of Norway's coastline with a range of different voyages, calling at over 30 ports as part of their support to the isolated Norwegian communities. This routes is traditionally known as the 'Kystruten Route' , a government sponsored shipping route keeping local Norwegian traditions and communities alive.

Hurtigruten and Havila ships travel continuously from Bergen in the South West to Kirkenes in the far North, right on the Russian border. These ships visit ports, some of which are home to just a few hundred inhabitants, delivering freight and of course intrepid passengers to explore the coastal towns and surroundings.

The Norwegian Round Trip Cruise can be done year-round, but your experience will change with the seasons as it sets the rhythm of life for the locals. Winter or summer travel, from snow-capped mountains bathed in spectacular Northern Lights/ Aurora Borealis to a late evening sitting on the Kystruten deck in midnight sun.

For a look at the complete fleets travelling along the Kystruten Route, see the Hurtigruten Fleet here and see the Havila Fleet here .

OUR HURTIGRUTEN & HAVILA TOURS CAN INCLUDE:

There are so many options for a Kystruten voyage in Norway. You can do the Voyage North, Voyage South and of course the Norwegian Round Trip Cruise. But you can also custom make it to your needs by doing shorter port-to-port voyages such as the Aurora Highlights Northern Lights tour allowing you to stop longer in the most scenic areas as well as combining Kystruten with other Norwegian tours and travel experiences.

And if you want to travel with Hurtigruten outside of Norway, see our great selection of Hurtigruten Arctic Expedition Voyages .

I've been on 50 cruises. Here are 3 routes I'd sail again in a heartbeat and 3 I'd probably skip.

  • I've been on 50 cruises (at least six a year), and some routes are better than others. 
  • I try to avoid cruises that make stops at Nassau and Freeport in the Bahamas.
  • My favorite cruise I've ever been on was a Mediterranean voyage from Barcelona. 

Insider Today

I've taken 50 cruises with family and friends, and I'm always looking to try out new routes with different port stops .

Before I ever book a cruise — which I do about six times a year — I try to find either a new-to-me ship or a new-to-me route. If neither of those options works for my budget or timeframe, I opt for a familiar favorite.

Here are my favorite cruise routes that I'm always happy to book, and the ones I don't need to sail again.

My favorite route is a Mediterranean cruise that starts and ends in Barcelona, Spain.

voyage 50

Mediterranean cruises start and end in various ports of call around Europe, typically throughout the summer sailing season.

Last year, my family and I took a Disney Cruise that started and ended in Barcelona, with stops in France and Italy.

My favorite part of this trip was splitting a day between Nice and Eze in the French Riviera . I was able to walk through cobblestone streets overlooking the ocean while sipping on limoncello.

I love Caribbean cruises along the western ports.

voyage 50

I've taken many western Caribbean routes over the years on Carnival Cruise Line and Disney Cruise Line, and they never disappoint.

The route usually includes stops at Cozumel, Mexico, and Georgetown, Grand Cayman. But it may also include ports of call at Falmouth, Jamaica; Costa Maya, Mexico; or Roatán, Honduras.

I always get off the ship in Cozumel, even if it's just to have lunch at a taco shop. Don't get lured into the restaurants right at the docks because the best food is in the spots farther down the main street.

I also love getting off in Roatán. On a recent cruise, I took an excursion to Roatan Island Brewing Company to try different beers made with local ingredients.

I also enjoy routes that only stop at private islands.

voyage 50

Every once in a while, I can find a short three-night cruise on Royal Caribbean or Disney that only visits the brand's private islands.

These short cruises are ideal weekend getaways and go to some of my favorite ports of call, like Royal Caribbean's CocoCay and Disney's Castaway Cay.

I love both of these destinations because there's so much to do — you really can spend the entire day at the beach or exploring the various parts of the island. I also love that food and drinks are all provided, so I don't have to return to the ship for lunch.

On the other hand, I don't need to go to Nassau and Freeport in the Bahamas again.

voyage 50

I love short cruises from Port Canaveral or Fort Lauderdale, Florida, but they often mean stopping at Nassau and Freeport in the Bahamas .

I don't really think there's much to see at either stop once you've done it once or twice. If my route includes them, I usually stay on the ship to enjoy the less crowded pool and spa.

The trade-off for these two ports is often getting to visit a cruise line's private island , so I think it's worth it for that. But I don't need to go on another long cruise through the Bahamas.

I'm also not a big fan of Bimini, Bahamas.

voyage 50

Many cruise lines, like Carnival and Virgin Voyages , are now taking cruisers to Bimini for an easy beach day. But if you're not a big fan of chilling at the beach, there's not much else to do on the island.

I’d probably skip cruising to Key West.

voyage 50

I love Key West in the Florida Keys , but as a port stop, it was hard to see a lot of the island and explore beyond Duval Street.

I'd prefer to spend a few days in the destination to explore all that it has to offer instead of making it a cruise stop.
