- Best for:

- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 3.82 and a displacement of 22708.0 lb, the Voyage 500 demonstrates solid offshore stability, further supported by owner reports of watermaker and solar panel installations for self-sufficiency.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other Simonis Voogd designs from the same era, such as the Voyage 420 or 440, which share the designer's signature twin-keel or triple-keel hull forms and fractional rig configuration.
