2026 Multipower Buyer's Guide

70 to 80 feet
The luxury multihull sector certainly doesn’t seem to be experiencing a crisis: orders are even increasing every year. In addition to one-offs designed and built to order, builders are now launching small series production runs. The likes of Fountaine Pajot, Iliad Catamarans, McConaghy Boats and VisionF Yachts (to name just a few of the larger yards) are now joining Sunreef and Lagoon in this sector. The advantages of these two- or three-hull platforms seem to be convincing: stability, XXL living space and layout possibilities are appealing to yachtsmen who have come from monohulls, but also to newcomers to (large) yachting. More and more projects, bigger and bigger units are being launched, and innovation knows no bounds: this is the world of dream multipowers!

Lazzara LPC 300

The Ultimate in Comfort...

 
 
NEW
This new model is a twin-hulled adventurer for VIPs, combining exceptional comfort, cutting-edge technology and refined interior design.
The accommodation is spacious thanks to the full-width lower deck and is particularly bright thanks to large panoramic windows offering breathtaking views of the sea. The living spaces are carefully designed to maximize guest comfort, with high-end materials and luxurious finishes. The owner even has a private terrace. On its three decks, the Lazzara LPC300 offers numerous relaxation areas, including a sun lounging area, a jacuzzi, and a bar. The yard also offers an LPC 500.

Nauticks NN68

A Complete Range of Powercats

 
 
NEW
Greek builder Nauticks offers a complete range of 5 powercats from 48 to 80 feet. Each model is characterized by very different and innovative hull porthole cut-outs - with the exception of the Nauticks 68 presented here, whose vertical rectangular windows are somewhat reminiscent of Sunreef. The shipyard has deliberately opted for the very high-end sector, with great flexibility for customization. The deck layout has been optimized to offer the largest possible surface area, with a foredeck that joins the two straight bows and an aft platform that can be lowered to the level of the sugarscoop to form an enormous beach club area. Inside, the nacelle offers spectacular volume, while each hull houses two luxurious cabins.

Builder: Nauticks
Length: 70’6” (21.5 m)

FPY 70

Replacing the Power 67

 
 
NEW
Following in the wake of the Alegria (the sailboat version), the Power 67 has enjoyed a successful commercial career, but the yard has now unveiled her successor, the FPY 70. Note that the names of the new models have changed, retaining just “FP” for Fountaine Pajot, of course, but also adding a discreet “Y” for Yacht. Like the 67, this new model is the power version of her sailing twin, the FPY 70s. Obviously, it’s not just the rig and deck hardware that have disappeared - the 150 or 195 HP motors have been upgraded to 300 HP, and even 600 HP as an option, while the fuel tanks have gained an additional 925 US gallons (3,500 liters). On deck, a jacuzzi has been installed forward of the coachroof to port, and the flybridge offers 333 square feet (31 m²) of space. Inside, the architects promise a 279 sq ft (26 m²) owner’s suite.

Builder: Fountaine Pajot
Architect: Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design
Length overall: 72’2” (22 m)
Beam: 32’11” (10.03 m)

Celestia 72

An Owner’s Suite with Panoramic Views

 
 
NEW
The yard, based in Antalya, Turkey, offers an ocean-going multiyacht designed by the team of French-based architect Pierre Delion. The layout was designed by Darnet Design. A few figures give an idea of the promised comfort: 1,830 square feet (170 m²) of available deck space and 3,445 sq ft (320 m²) inside... The room of choice will certainly be the owner’s cabin: though it can occupy the entire port hull, it will certainly be even more successful when positioned forward on the main deck, enjoying an uninterrupted panoramic view. In all, the Celestia 72 can accommodate up to 10 guests in three to five cabins, depending on the configuration chosen by the Owner. The first Celestia could be delivered soon.

Sunreef 66 Ultima

An Innovative Range That’s Expanding Fast!

 
 
NEW
Forever Green
The Ultima range already includes five models from 44 to 88 feet. These powercats boast a more modern design than the brand’s “traditional” Power models, with bows that are clearly inverted above a chine that runs the entire length of the hulls, and with the forward face of the coachroof also inverted. Decks have also been raised, portholes have been boldly designed, and bulwarks comprise folding platforms. Despite its limited beam of 23’9” (7.25 m) (compared to 35’9” (10.7 m) for the 60 Sunreef Power and 37’3” (11.35 m) for the 70), the new 66 Ultima succeeds in presenting a vast living space of 2,455 square feet (228 m²) and a large flybridge of 375 sq ft (35 m²). We liked the aft deck, which can be transformed into a private Ocean Lounge, and the owner’s cabin occupies the entire available width.

BGM75

A Catamaran, at Least when it Comes to the Hulls…

 
 
NEW
Test in MW202
From the side, and especially from the stern, the Bluegame appears to have all the design codes of a monohull yacht. The idea of the catamaran platform is therefore to gain in stability and, above all, to save fuel: the Design Office claims a 40% reduction in fuel consumption compared to a 90-foot monohull yacht - which, on the basis of 300 hours’ running time, translates into savings in the order of 17,500 US gallons (66,000 liters) of diesel, and that equates to 175 tons of CO2 emissions. On the other hand, there’s no question of leaving the world of “classic” yachting behind, with a one-piece superstructure that widens as it goes forward - enough to accommodate a magnificent owner’s suite.

Voodoo XF75

Foils Beneath the Hull and a Helicopter on the Deck!

 
 
Test in this issue
This luxurious powercat is as high-performance as it is exclusive, with a superstructure that doubles as a helipad. This powercat, offered by New Zealand manufacturer Voodoo Yachts and unveiled at the recent Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, features a carefully optimized hull and foils that allow it to reach speeds of up to 50 knots. In addition to this impressive speed for a 75-foot vessel, the Voodoo boasts fuel consumption well below that of an 85- to 90-foot monohull superyacht offering the same features: the usable area measures some 3,000 square feet (279 m²)... By limiting its speed to 8 knots, the XF75 is capable of ocean passage-making.

Builder: Voodoo Yachts
Length: 74’9” (22.8 m)

Iliad 75

Record Range of 4,000 Miles

 
 
Forever Green
The recently launched brand of luxury powercats, Iliad Catamarans, have just announced their new flagship, the Iliad 75. The design is toned down a little compared to previous models, and the flybridge is semi-enclosed - making it more of an upper deck - in stark contrast to the sedan or flybridge choices of the Iliad 53. The advertised range - over 4,000 nautical miles - is also a remarkable factor. Typically, multiyachts are just “ocean-going”, with the possibility of covering maybe 3,000 nm at (very) low speed. The builder also offers a hybrid drivetrain as an option.

Builder: Iliad Catamarans
Length overall: 75’7” (23.03 m)

Draft: 5’5” (1.65 m)

WiderCat 76

Hybrid Propulsion and Innovative Design

 
 
NEW
Forever Green
The smaller sistership to the WiderCat 92 features a highly innovative design, with strongly inverted - but rounded - bows and a raised foredeck. On board, comfort should be beyond reproach; the nacelle boasts a particularly generous glazed area, protected by the coachroof overhangs. The owner’s cabin is flush-decked with the nacelle, with a private terrace forward.
In navigational terms, the Wider 76’s hybrid propulsion will give it a range of 1,600 nautical miles at a speed of 8 knots. At anchor, it will also be able to operate with its generators switched off for 6 hours, thanks to a battery bank totaling 100 kWh, supplied by solar panels, and by two generators if required to provide energy for the two powerful motors, each rated at 456 kW.

Builder: Wider Srl
Length: 75’10” (23.12 m)

Sunreef 77 Ultima

Unmistakable inverted bows…

 
 
NEW
Forever Green
Luxury catamaran builder Sunreef is working on all fronts: opening a new factory in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates; expanding the ECO range - which now accounts for 50% of all orders; and ramping up production of the new Ultima powercats. The forward face of the superstructure is inverted, while the bows, too, are strongly inverted – though obviously in the opposite direction... The new 77 Ultima has been designed to optimize performance, energy efficiency and comfort, with a total surface area that tops 3,270 square feet (304 m²). Its interior layout offers plenty of natural light. The builder offers numerous customization options, including a spectacular full-width owner’s cabin.

Xcel 70

Italian Design, Built in the United Arab Emirates

 
 
Xcel Yachts offers three power catamarans, including this 70-foot multiyacht. The Riviera shipyard, commissioned to build the first example, is a well-known yard in the Middle East, having been founded in 1976. Riviera runs a large service and repair center and builds boats for many brands. While the hulls of this Xcel 70 adopt a very classic design with traditional bow slopes (note the now very unusual 4-meter overhangs, i.e. 17% of the total length), the layout should be far more surprising, blending grand luxury with minimalist Italian design. In addition to the two crew berths, 4 or 5 double cabins will be available. The main characteristics, with the exception of the powertrain, have just been unveiled by the shipyard.

Long Island 78 Power

The Oceans are Her Playground

 
 
Test in MW176
The hulls designed by Marc Lombard are made of aluminum, while the deck, superstructure and wheelhouse use composite materials. With its two 500 HP Cummins engines, the 78 Power cruises at 12 knots, with three more knots to reach top speed. The objective, thanks to this moderate engine size, the large tank capacity and the extensive work that’s gone into controlling the displacement, is to offer transatlantic range. The deck layout presents some interesting innovations: the wheelhouse on the flybridge is an enclosed space intended for navigation but also for relaxation with a bench seat and a desk.

80 Sunreef Power/Eco

Unlimited Range – or Almost

 
 
Forever Green
Tests in MW171 and Special Issue #21
The 80 Sunreef Power is undoubtedly the most successful model in the Polish manufacturer’s power range. The new “Next” range features a new design and fold-down bulwarks. Naturally, this model is also available in an Eco version, offering quiet, non-polluting cruising and infinite range, or almost. By making use of a vast multiyacht platform, the builder has succeeded in installing 2,150 sq ft (200 m²) of light and ultramodern solar panels - producing up to 36 kWp of electricity. The 80 Sunreef Power Eco is also equipped with a high-tech battery bank: 30% lighter than the batteries used in the yachting industry, with a density of less than 11.5 lbs (5.2 kg) / kWh with greater efficiency and performance.

Cosmopolitan 70

An Electric Offshore Catamaran in Aluminum

 
 
NEW
Forever Green
German entrepreneur Christian Braun and Iván Salas Jefferson of Iddes Yachts have launched Cosmopolitan Yachts, a new brand of custom-built aluminum electric catamarans. The first model is a powercat designed for unlimited offshore cruising. The emphasis has been placed on the sea-keeping qualities of the hulls (note the tunnel between the hulls in a double gull-wing shape), the electric technology, and respect for the environment. Aluminum was the obvious choice thanks to its capacity to be recycled, its lightness and its solidity. Foils have been designed in order to improve comfort. Engineering has been focused on reducing energy consumption and vibration while guaranteeing maximum range and reliability. The builder also offers a Cosmopolitan 85 (available in a “Narrow” version, in the region of 6½ feet/2 meters less in the beam) as well as a 115 and even a 125.

VisionF 80

Made in Turkey!

 
 
Forever Green
Test in Special Issue #17
Turkey’s boatbuilding industry has a long history and can boast some significant expertise - not dissimilar to Polish shipbuilding know-how... so it’s not surprising that a direct competitor of Sunreef, the undisputed leader in semi-custom luxury catamarans, is presenting a multiyacht built in Istanbul. But unlike Sunreefs, which are built in composite, the VisionF 80 is aluminum. On the foredeck, a crane can be used to launch the RIB, freeing up the aft platform. During our test sail, we were impressed by the volume offered by the nacelle and the cabins, but also by the level of finish - the teak deck, the floor and the endless sofas, for example, command respect. This model is now offered with electric propulsion.

Builder: VisionF Yachts

MC82p

A Multi-yacht for all Programs

 
 
NEW
Test in this issue
While the first MC82p delivered was fitted with twin 875 HP motors capable of propelling the powercat at 28 knots, the model that our Australian correspondent Kevin Green tested in Queensland (See his full report in this issue) was equipped with a pair of 300 HP John Deere motors. Whichever option is chosen, the MC82p is suitable for family use for weekends on board as well as for long ocean passages. In order to limit fuel consumption and increase range (5,000 miles at 10 knots!), the manufacturer opted for a carbon/epoxy construction. The interior, worthy of a luxurious villa, accommodate eight guests in four double cabins with private bathrooms distributed throughout the hulls. The two crew cabins can accommodate four people.

Lagoon Eighty 3

A New Powercat in the Big League

 
 
A variation on the Eighty 2 sail, the soon-to-splash Eighty 3 will obviously do without a rig and associated deck hardware but will be equipped with a larger powertrain: a pair of 580 HP John Deeres. It should be noted that the size is just at the ceiling of the commercial-use vessel standard. We suspect that the Lagoon design office might be itching to launch a much larger multi-yacht… Nevertheless, this Eighty 3 is already making us dream with its terrace integrated into the bulwarks, its gigantic nacelle and its panoramic flybridge. The cabins, of which there are between four and six depending on the configuration, are of course all equipped with private bathrooms.

Licia C24 Explorer

The Comfort of a 150-foot Superyacht!

 
 
NEW
The idea here is to start from the concept of a 50-meter (150-foot) superyacht with all the advantages of the incredible space of these gigantic units, but to fit it onto hulls half that length! Most of all, it’s the nacelle where the Licia, built in composite (carbon/aramid/epoxy) shows all her originality. There’s an owner’s cabin or two VIP cabins, forward, with panoramic views over the anchorage. There’s also a saloon with a bar and dining area, while the companionways are spiral - as on megayachts - to avoid steep stairs.
With twin 705 HP motors as standard, and some 2,600 US gallons (10,000 liters) of fuel tank capacity, the Licia C24 Explorer has a range of 3,200 nautical miles.

KingCat 90

Luxury, Space... and Plenty of Other Advantages!

 
 
NEW
The architects at Barracuda Yacht Design got it spot on: a powercat measuring just short of 80 feet (24 meters) is undoubtedly the best compromise for combining luxury and space while benefiting from less stringent regulations and keeping construction and operating costs under control. This project, designed exclusively for Kingship Yachts in Hong Kong, will offer an incredible owner’s suite that spans the entire width of the boat, measuring over 36 feet (11 m). A balcony will open onto the port side of the hull. All cabins will be located on the main deck, offering more natural light and better views.
The bridge and helm station will be located on the upper deck, which will also feature a dining table that seats twelve, a TV lounge, and a separate bar. Passengers will also have access via the side-decks to the spectacular foredeck, equipped with lounge seating and sunbathing areas.

The Powercat Version of the Thíra 80

 
 
Forever Green
The Power 80 has held the title of flagship powercat built by Fountaine Pajot for a little over a year now, though that title is due to be taken over by the upcoming FPY110. Like all the larger models from the La Rochelle shipyard, this luxurious Multiyacht (which we had the opportunity to sail off the coast of Monaco) is the power version of the Thíra 80. It has all the features of the sailboat version, including comfortable accommodation, huge lounging areas such as the XXL flybridge or the forward cockpit linked by a door to the nacelle, fold-down side decks and a very large surface area of solar panels.

Archipelago 80

A Yacht Dedicated to Exploration

 
 
Forever Green
NEW
This big powercat built in aluminum (the recyclable material par excellence) comfortably offers ocean range and can carry all kinds of equipment, with a payload of up to 16 tons. The Archipelago 80 requires just three feet (one meter) of water to explore any shoreline or river. The Portuguese deck provides protection for the crew in all weathers. Diesel-electric propulsion is offered as standard, with various propulsion options available. The cockpit features a large work area with lashing points designed to accommodate expedition equipment. The Palfinger crane with its articulated jib and the reinforced deck structure facilitate the transport of a standard 20-foot shipping container, a pocket submarine and various heavy bits of equipment. A high-capacity helipad on the upper deck is also available as an option.
