2023 Power Buyer’s Guide

60 to 70 feet
These sub-70-foot multihulls don’t quite officially make it into the superyacht category... but the comfort (particularly when compared to a monohull cabin cruiser) is so much more luxurious that it didn’t seem quite right just confining them to our big multipower category. Welcome to the world of Yachting!

60 SUNREEF POWER

Luxury ocean passagemaker

 
 
The 60 may be the “smallest” powercat in the Polish shipyard’s Power range, but it already has all the attributes of an ultra-modern multiyacht. Easy to handle, this luxury catamaran can be sailed with or without crew. Thanks to its large beam, the 60 Sunreef Power offers an extremely spacious saloon. On the same level as the aft cockpit, this large semi-open space is fully customizable and bathed in sunlight thanks to a skylight and panoramic glazing. The large volumes of the lower deck can be customized to suit the sailing program and lifestyle of the individual owner. The hydraulic platform offers a relaxation area close to the water, perfect for watersports. The figures are of course a little out of the ordinary, with more than 3,000 miles of range, or a 345 sq ft (32 m²) flybridge equipped with a jacuzzi…

Length: 60’ (18.30 m)

HORIZON PC60

Making her mark in the United States!

 
 
There have already been 30 units built, and for a 60-foot powercat, that’s a more than respectable result from a commercial point of view. This model, produced in the United States, features a relatively classic design, very motoryacht-like with inclined bows and almost enclosed flybridge - a true upper deck in a way. You can opt for an open flybridge, however. The deck line that rises up in the middle of the hulls is also in keeping with motoryacht culture - as such, it lends the PC60 an original outline among 60-foot multiyachts. Construction and finish are all completed to a very high standard. The Horizon PC60 can be customized on request.

Length: 61’7” (18.78 m)

ILIAD 62

Over 3,500 nautical mile range

 
 
NEW
The young Chinese brand has launched their first Iliad 62. This new model made its world debut at the Sydney International Boat Show which ran from July 28 to August 1. Our collaborator Kevin Green was there... On board this long-distance cruiser, the emphasis has been placed on controlling fuel consumption, and this has led to increasing the range to over 3,500 nm. The Iliad 62 is therefore capable of ocean passage-making: with a bridgedeck clearance of 3’9” (1.15 m), it also reflects an architectural design optimized for comfort in the open sea. Moving around on deck is easy, as is access to the huge flybridge. Whether open or fully enclosed, the flybridge can accommodate up to ten people in luxurious comfort and has a separate galley complete with refrigerator, ice maker, grill/barbecue etc. As for the cabins, they each include large bathrooms and beautiful openings to enjoy the sea. The hull dedicated to the owner can integrate a laundry room, a workshop, an office area, or even separate crew quarters with access from the bow.

MC63P OFFSHORE

36 knots top speed!

 
 
The first example, already in build, picks up on some of the design elements from the MC60, such as the angled deck edge, and the aft-set nacelle/bimini assembly. But the hulls, in the forward section, still gain in freeboard and feature a second chine. The trampoline disappears, replaced by a rigid deck. The MC63p adopts high-tech construction: carbon/foam/epoxy on all levels to obtain a rigid and lightweight platform. Two 875 horsepower engines provide a cruising speed of 20 knots, and 36 knots top speed thanks to the addition of semi-foils. The interior has been particularly well thought-out and comes in three versions, with three or four cabins. Large windows - panels and doors - are retractable in order to completely decompartmentalize the nacelle in fine weather. Two flybridge configurations are available, as is a Tourer version with a reduced freeboard and less powerful motors.

POWER 67

High-end yacht for blue water

 
 
Unlike the Motor Yacht range, designed specifically to be powercats, the Power 67 is a catamaran developed using as a base the flagship of the Fountaine Pajot sailing fleet, the Alegria 67. The hull has of course been optimized to meet the specific requirements of multipowers, and to support the power of the engines, which range from 2 x 300 HP to 2 x 435 HP. This is enough to offer speed enthusiasts a wide range of top speeds of over 20 knots, even if the main interest of this type of unit is to go along between 10 and 15 knots in remarkable comfort. Another specific feature is that the Power 67 version offers a flybridge designed 100% for life on board, with the area dedicated to sail handling being reorganized to offer new spaces.

Builder: Fountaine Pajot
Architect: Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design
Overall length: 64’7” (19.69 m)
Beam: 32’3” (9.84 m)

Max speed: 20 knots

LAGOON SIXTY 7

Everything about her says superyacht…

 
 
This was one of the great new powercats of 2019... First of all, because of her imposing size, but also because this model, the little sistership to the SIXTY 8 was eagerly awaited by potential buyers. The objective of the SIXTY 7 is clearly to attract owners of superyachts of 100 feet and over, bored with the high costs and complicated management of their vessel. Lagoon was therefore keen to offer this clientele a more compact powercat that requires a smaller crew of just one or two people. However, comfort has nothing to envy that on a superyacht, even if the famous suspended terrace of the owner’s cabin of the SEVENTY 8, the flagship of the range, is no longer incorporated. The SIXTY 7, on the other hand, retains the same sleek design. She also offers an exceptional level of finish.

Builder: Lagoon
Length: 66’1” (20.15 m)
Beam: 32’11” (10.00 m)
Draft: 3’9” (1.15 m)
Displacement: 106,500 lbs (48.3 t)
Engines: 2 x 330/440 HP
Fuel: 4 x 363 US gal (4 x 1,375 l)
Water: 2 x 132 US gal (2 x 500 l)

SUNREEF SUPREME 68 POWER

Better than a villa by the sea!

 
 
The Supreme range with its angular design is available in both sailboats and motoryachts - but it is the latter that is really targeted by the concept. Everything has been optimized to obtain record living space of 3,230 sq ft (300 m²) including a main deck and a flybridge of 700 sq ft (65 m²) each. The interior can be fitted out to suit your requests and without any constraints, as the volumes are similar to those of a house. The layout makes it possible to have the largest living space in the category in this size, then to decorate it as you like, assisted by the interior design studio set up by the yard. The 20’ x 20’ (6 x 6 m) garage can accommodate a 16-foot (5 m) tender and two jet-skis.

HORIZON PC68

Semi-custom, American style

 
 
Since it was founded in 2009, Horizon Power Catamarans has built over 50 luxury powercats. Within the renowned range of 52 to 74 footers is the ultra-comfortable PC68. This boat retains, in terms of design, the codes of American production with freeboard significantly taller on the forward third. The Portuguese deck with side access to the helm station, and the flybridge that can be completely enclosed, guarantee comfort and ease of movement on board. Inside, the shipyard offers four luxurious cabins with the option of a large open-plan saloon or a master cabin forward on the main deck. Launch is scheduled for 2023.

ILIAD 70

Three deck levels

 
 
Three deck levels and à la carte comfort are in store aboard this luxury multiyacht. Testing the Iliad 50 had already seriously impressed journalist Kevin Green, but this unit definitely won over our Australian correspondent. He discovered the true seaworthy character of a catamaran designed for taking the ground with her reinforced skeg keels and shaft-driven props. Well powered, she manages to exceed the symbolic figure of 20 knots. And at her 8-knots cruising speed, offers a range of 4,500 nm. Inside, the raised Owner’s cabin wins all the votes.

AQUILA 70 LUXURY

Bulbous bows

 
 
The Chinese-American yard is now positioning itself in the luxury yachting sector with this brand new 70, launched over the course of last winter. Entirely designed thanks to CFD (computational fluid dynamics) tests and designed for motorized propulsion, the Aquila 70 is designed with bulbous bows and is optimized for speeds from 12 to 27 knots, but also comfort under way, with very good stability. The owner’s cabin, in the forward rostrum, occupies the full available width. Four other cabins are located in the hulls - plus two crew cabins in the forepeaks. As for equipment, nothing has been left out.

70 SUNREEF POWER

A custom-built luxury powercat

 
 
Though launched in 2021, this model was only presented to the public at the recent Cannes Yachting Festival. The 70 replaces the yard’s former best-seller, built in 15 units. At 5 feet (1.50 m) wider, the new 70 Sunreef Power fits into Sunreef’s flagship power range which includes the 60, the 80 and the 100. This new unit is suited equally to both private and high-end charter use, luxuriously appointed to accommodate up to 8 guests. This first example features four cabins, of which one is a suite dedicated to the owner. The drivetrain comprises 2 x 850 HP motors compared to 2 x 300 HP as standard. The full deck allows you to take advantage of all the available space, which totals 3,272 square feet (304 m²). At the stern a garage has been designed to house jetskis and other watercraft, and a vast hydraulic platform allows you to enjoy 100% of the pleasures of the anchorage.
