BREAKING NEWS ! SICAT-80 - Under the sun!
Solar Impact has presented an ambitious multiyacht project whose bimini completely covers the main deck in order to optimize the surface area available for solar panels. Designed by Tommaso Spadolini (Roland Friedberger’s design), the CAT-80 could soon be built in Germany. The chosen material is aluminum. This multiyacht adopts a futuristic design, in perfect harmony with its 100% electric powertrain

NEW ! LEEN 72 - Ready for great adventure!
The interest of these new ocean-going multihulls is their very low drag. The LEEN 72 retains the principle of a vast platform sat above the three hulls but adopts smaller and more aft-set floats than those of the NEELS, so that the deck plan, seen from above, is reminiscent of that of a monohull – a very wide one! Maximum habitability, panoramic view from the pod, low consumption, good behavior in rough seas: the 72 promises to be an ideal craft for long cruising or even exploration missions.

NEW ! SERENITY 74 - The temptation of 'all-electric'
This catamaran in now in build: this model, the big sister to the Serenity 64, will be powered by solar energy thanks to its 110 m² of panels and two electric motors of 25 kW, or more traditionally by two 435 HP diesel engines. The cruising speed in electric mode will be 6 to 8 knots compared to 10 to 12 knots with internal combustion - expected peak speed is over 20 knots.

NEW ! LONG ISLAND 78’ POWERCAT - Hull #1 launched
Early September, JFA Yachts launched their very first Long Island 78 Powercat. This semi-custom range of motor multiyachts for blue water cruising also includes an 86-footer, currently in build. 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.

SEVENTY 8 - Optimized for engines
The SEVENTY 8, flagship of the Lagoon powercat range is seeing great success. The aft third of the Seventy 7’s (the sailboat version) underwater hulls have been redesigned to accommodate twin 510 HP engines as standard. As for the forward trampolines, they have been replaced by a rigid teak-covered platform, bringing the usable surface area outside to over 150 m²/1,600 sq ft. The features are undoubtedly luxurious; the various design options - with meeting room or massage room - as well as several decorative atmospheres planned in the catalogue from the outset make this a semi-custom yacht in series production. They have retained the doo in the topsides of the owner’s cabin, which transforms into a terrace at anchor. The aft galley is remarkable, both for the crew and the owner.

NEW ! 80 SUNREEF POWER ECO - Unlimited range!
Sunreef are launching a new range with four models – 60, 70, 80 and 100 feet – which are fully electric. The 80 Sunreef Power Eco, currently in build at the Gdańsk Shipyard, promises silent, non-polluting cruising and infinite range. Sunreef’s plan is to reconcile yachting and ecology: by operating 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 40 kWp of electricity. The 80 Sunreef Power Eco will also be equipped with a high-tech battery bank: 30% lighter than the batteries used in the yachting industry, with a density of less than 13 lbs (6 kg) / kWh with greater efficiency and performance. This fully customizable luxury catamaran can be equipped with a kite for enhanced performance and range

80 SUNREEF POWER - Variable geometry loft
The 80, presented at the 2019 Cannes Yachting Festival, is undoubtedly the most imposing catamaran in this size range. No less than 10 feet (three meters) between the waterline and the guardrails. The bulwarks are raised for greater safety. As for the forward cockpit, this is accessible from the saloon through a watertight door. This unusual amount of freeboard allows for a very impressive interior volume: the headroom is well over 6’7” (2 meters) throughout. The owner’s cabin is arranged as a huge suite in the starboard hull or on the main deck. The range of fittings, entirely customized, is infinite, with the galley either in the nacelle or in the hulls, the only constraints being the structural bulkheads

NEW ! LICIA C24 EXPLORER - The comfort of a 150-footer!
The idea here is to start from the concept of a 50-meter (150-foot) yacht with all the advantages of the incredible space of these gigantic units and... to reduce it down to 24 meters (79 feet)! 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. The volume offered by the Licia C24 also makes it possible to have a saloon with a bar and dining area, while the companionways are spiral - as on megayachts - to avoid steep stairs. But the absolute must has got to be the work done by the architects for moving around on board, allowing guests to leave and/or enjoy their private space without meeting crew members or other guests if they so choose… With a pair of Cummins QSM11 10.8 liter, 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 3,500 nautical miles. Which should be enough to justify the boat’s name, and to set off and explore the world in the greatest of comfort.

NEW ! OCEAN ECO 90 - Electric or hybrid?
Alva Yachts, a German builder established at the very beginning of the 2000s, is launching a new range of luxury electric catamarans. The flagship, the OCEAN ECO 90, will be characterized by a modern design. But it is notably her very high bows, and the bulwark connecting them directly to the superstructure, that catch your eye. The foredeck clearly benefits from exceptional protection. As for the flybridge, this accommodates an outdoor saloon, a bar and a jacuzzi. Inside, of course, there is room for ultimate luxury and comfort. In terms of propulsion, this unit will be available all-electric or with a hybrid powertrain.

NEW ! 40M SUNREEF EXPLORER - Luxury and adventure
Polish manufacturer Sunreef stands out with this new model for ultra-bluewater cruising under power. It is no longer just a question of dawdling about the Mediterranean or in dreamy archipelagos, but also of crossing the oceans in complete self-sufficiency. Tank capacity and engine size have therefore been designed to offer a range of over 3.000 miles. In the same spirit, the hulls, structures and equipment have been designed to withstand the toughest seas. The substantial beam of the 40 M (43’9”/13.34 m) offers 7.040 sq ft/654 m² of living space spread over three decks. The first model designed offers a games room with a self-levelling billiard table, a hammam or a main suite with a private retractable balcony. The extended aft deck houses a launching crane, a 22’/7 m tender, two jet skis and storage space for a variety of water toys. With the hydraulically lowered aft platform, guests can enjoy their own truly private beach. So many customizable features…

PROJECT - SWITCH BLADE - Logistic support catamaran
Designer T. E. Goffrier and the carbon gurus at Fast Forward Composites have already made a big splash with their very successful Eagle Class 53 – elected Multihull of The Year 2020 in the over 50-foot category. They’re going even further with this logistical support catamaran project. This category of vessel is in ever-increasing demand: it’s a question of managing and transporting anything that could “clutter up” the main yacht - such as a helicopter, a small sailboat or any equipment. The main original feature of this design are the socalled SWATH hulls: the raised platform is only connected to the underwater hull in certain places. The Switch Blade is 150 feet (45.5 m) in length and 50 feet (15 m) in the beam. The deck offers a surface area of 2,555 sq ft (237.5 m²). There is also a saloon/dining room of 1,830 sq ft (170 m²) that can open out to the sea, and a superb bridge measuring 1,570 sq ft (146 m²). Switch Blade is equipped with a hybrid propulsion system and more than 2,150 sq ft (200 m²) of solar panels.

NEW ! METAL SHARK M48 - An 11,000-mile range!
Specializing in aluminum and steel shipbuilding, Metal Shark Yachts is far from being a new player in the sector: the 500 employees of this US-based shipyard produce more than 200 boats from 16 to 300 feet every year. Usually, these units are intended for professional use, but the shipyard is now working on a new range of expedition powercats - the M30. M48 and M70. The M48 is the one that’s just been launched (September 23rd 2020), making this catamaran the very first yacht to be built by the shipyard. The hull shapes designed by Incat Crowther are optimized for maximum speed and range: 27 knots at top speed, and a range of 11,000 miles at 10 knots! The design makes a nod to military vessels, but comfort is well and truly on board: nearly 4,300 sq ft (400 m²) of living space is available to the crew...

WHITE RABBIT POWERCAT - The biggest trimaran in the world!
Australian superyacht builder Echo Yachts, headed by Mark Stothard, has just launched the world’s largest trimaran - and also the largest yacht ever built in Australia - on behalf of an experienced owner. He has several other multihull superyachts, including the first, White Rabbit Echo, a 200-foot (61-meter) trimaran launched in 2005. In her 275’ (84m), White Rabbit houses more than 12,900 sq ft (1,200 m²) of sumptuous accommodation where luxury and innovation are omnipresent. Powered by a state-of-the-art 2 x 2,100 HP Kongsberg / STADT and Rolls Royce diesel-electric combination, she can reach a maximum speed of 19 knots. Her maximum range of 5,000 miles at 13 knots is made possible by a fuel consumption of 116 US gal (440 liters) per hour. A value that may seem enormous... but is in fact very low for the size and tonnage of this ship
