Double agent

Let's be clear: the superyacht world has ceased to be one-dimensional. Today, choosing a catamaran is no longer a compromise for family charters but a calculated decision by those accustomed to extracting maximum value from every square meter of their time and space. Modern multihulls have long shed their reputation as "floating refrigerators" or utilitarian barges. They now represent architecturally refined "wandering" islands, where usable living space grows exponentially compared to monohulls of the same length. Next-generation propulsion systems and extensive use of renewable energy allow these vessels to combine high speeds with low fuel consumption, or even operate entirely in "clean" mode. Luxury meets engineering genius, setting a new standard for life on the water. Here, stability is more than just the absence of excessive rocking — it is the foundation for creating a true home, one unconstrained by the shoreline. Every new launch confirms: two hulls provide a degree of freedom where interior volume and technical perfection no longer compete but work together for your absolute comfort, turning every sea passage into sheer pleasure.

Prestige M7
A Villa with Panoramic Views

Winner of the Multihull of the Year 2026 award in the 45-to-60-foot category. This new model from the French shipyard Prestige is designed as an extension of your land-based villa, not merely a mode of transport. The M7 possesses a remarkable ability to feel far larger inside than its exterior suggests, thanks to its unique superstructure architecture. Twin 550-hp engines propel this substantial vessel to 20 knots, while at a cruising speed of 15 knots, the ride is so smooth you forget you're moving. The M7 is a celebration of light and air: floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows allow you to track the horizon without leaving the saloon sofa. Unlike many competitors, the M7 offers a barrier-free environment — no thresholds or narrow passageways, only open spaces and logical traffic flow. With 150 m² of living space, it caters to the most discerning owner, accommodating both a professional galley and lounge areas that surpass the deck spaces of many 30-meter monohulls. An innovative stabilization system makes the Prestige M7 the benchmark of comfort, turning every journey into a relaxing retreat aboard your own five-star terrace, capable of cruising along the Côte d'Azur at the pace of a modern cruiser.

Sunreef Ultima 88
Clash of the Titans — Ultima vs. Great White

At marinas worldwide, a new topic for small talk among yacht owners who follow tennis has emerged: Carlos Alcaraz, the world's number one, has acquired a Sunreef Ultima 88 catamaran. This is a powerful and technical "serve" aimed at his mentor Rafael Nadal. While Rafa quietly relaxes aboard his legendary Great White (an 80 Sunreef Power, resembling a stately family estate with a pool), Alcaraz has opted for a "high-performance crossover." His Ultima 88 is the quintessence of dynamism: with a beam exceeding 9 meters, she delivers a genuine 26 knots thanks to twin 1,500-hp engines. Where Nadal's 80-foot flagship exudes monumentality, massive forms, and a cruising speed of 16 knots, Alcaraz's Ultima 88 counters with aggressive futurism and a sporting character. Everything inside is customized for the athlete: from a recovery zone to the open Ocean Lounge aft, with fold-out balconies that transform the yacht into a beach club. This is a collision of two philosophies within a single shipyard: classic "heavy luxury" versus a new era of sporty super-catamarans, where speeds of 25+ knots harmoniously coexist with panoramic glazing and interiors rivaling the finest Monaco hotels.

Austin Parker Unica
Italian Tailoring

When Italian masters at Austin Parker turn their hand to a multihull, the result is Unica — a boat unlike any other in the harbor. While most modern catamarans strive to resemble futuristic film sets, Unica remains faithful to the aesthetic of classic yachts, reimagined for the contemporary era. This manifesto of Italian style, born from the synergy of the legendary Pininfarina design house and maestro Fulvio De Simoni, blurs the boundaries between engineering perfection and high fashion. What we see is an "architectural triumph," expressed in a dynamic silhouette and the iconic A-shaped hardtop support, now the signature of the brand's new identity.

Thanks to an innovative "layered" superstructure design and panoramic glazing, the azure of the ocean seamlessly integrates into the interior. The full-beam master suite becomes a private oasis of tranquility, while the open-plan saloon with its island galley flows naturally into the cockpit lounge. This is a domain of pure hedonism, with a beach club just steps from the water. Unica anticipates trends, combining sustainable materials with uncompromising power.

Lazzara LPC 300
Scale, Style, Technology

When the Lazzara LPC 300 enters the scene, talk of "merely spacious boats" ceases. This super-catamaran, with a total area of 300 m², embodies modern concepts of luxury and scale. George Chirakadze, President and CEO of Lazzara Yachts, comments on the format's success: "Catamarans have significantly strengthened their position over the past decade. They offer more living space and a feeling of 'home on the water.' It's a niche but stable segment that continues to evolve." The LPC 300 confirms every word. Fitted with engines ranging from 650 to 1,350 hp, in its top configuration, this yacht easily reaches 22–24 knots. Its capacity rivals 40-meter monohulls, allowing designers to incorporate a full-fledged gym and an expansive flybridge with a jacuzzi and bar. Lazzara's hallmark lies in the details — from the quality of finishes to advanced automation systems. This is not just a boat but a technologically advanced "mansion" capable of crossing oceans, offering levels of privacy and comfort unattainable in traditional layouts. The LPC 300 is designed for those who refuse to choose between speed and volume, preferring to have it all.

VisionF 65 Hybrid
A Subtle Move by the Istanbul Shipyard: Downscaling Without Losing Status

Following massive 80- and 100-foot aluminum platforms, the transition to a 19-meter composite catamaran looks less like a cost-saving measure and more like a demand for agility and privacy. With a beam of 9 meters, it still offers the volume we love in multihulls, now packaged in a more dynamic format.

Visually, the 65 retains VisionF's signature "muscular" look, but technically, it's far more refined. Here, hybrid isn't a marketing sticker but a functional pairing: two Volvo Penta D8 engines at 450 hp each for passage-making, plus a pair of 20-kW electric motors for the "silent mode" that lets you enter a bay without disturbing your neighbors. Forty-two solar panels on the hardtop provide independence from shore power and keep onboard systems in peak condition.

Inside, there's no flirtation with excessive decoration. The focus is on light and ergonomics. Massive hatches and panoramic windows literally bring the sea into the saloon, while the master suite rivals the cabins of larger vessels. The VisionF 65 Hybrid suits those who value the ability to tailor their boat to their own habits.

Fountaine Pajot FPY120
French Luxury

The announcement of the 35-meter giant FPY120 by Fountaine Pajot has definitively settled the question of whether a catamaran can be considered a megayacht. Yes, it can, and it does so with particular elegance. This imposing yacht is equipped with a hybrid system that allows her to reach up to 20 knots in maximum power mode, or glide silently on electric power in protected zones without disturbing the ecosystem. Inside, there's so much space that the master suite feels more like a luxury hotel suite in the Maldives. This is the choice for those who have outgrown 20-meter playthings and want their arrival in a bay to evoke not just interest but genuine admiration. Extensive fuel capacity, combined with the hydrodynamic efficiency of two hulls, provides transatlantic capability, transforming this catamaran into a true expedition vessel disguised as a sumptuous floating palace. The interior design focuses on "social architecture": cascading terraces and vast open decks create ideal conditions for entertaining guests. The FPY120 is a manifesto of new luxury, where size matters, but technology and sustainability take precedence, allowing you to experience true freedom.

Silent-Yachts 80
A Multi-Million Dollar Gadget

The updated Silent-Yachts 80 is the perfect accessory for those who have already electrified their car fleet and value silence over engine roar. There are no conventional diesels here — only powerful 250-kW electric motors. The entire vast roof is covered with solar panels that feed massive lithium batteries, allowing for nearly endless cruising at 8–10 knots — and, importantly, entirely for free. When speed is required, the Silent delivers 18 knots, but its true element is complete, meditative silence. Inside, everything is geared toward minimalism and sustainability: recycled teak, natural leather, and intuitive electronics. You approach the shore as silently as a shadow, without disturbing the marina's peace. True status today needs no exhaust roar; it reveals itself in the ability to anchor for weeks, powered solely by solar energy. This is a stealth yacht for those seeking a discreet escape into technological perfection, away from empty noise, leaving the sound of waves as the sole soundtrack to their journey.

Vector of Change

By mid-2026, it has become unequivocally clear: the catamaran is the industry's new standard. We are moving toward intelligent luxury, autonomy, and the ability to work from any lagoon in the world. Modern catamarans have learned to "fly": the use of hydrofoils in new concepts already allows speeds of 30+ knots while maintaining deck stability. Luxury has become smarter — now implying the ability to be completely independent of shore infrastructure.

In this life, it's always better to have two points of support — especially when those supports slice confidently through the waves at a fair clip, providing absolute tranquility in any storm. We are witnessing not just a shift in preferences but an evolution in the mindset of owners who choose efficiency and scale that are simply unattainable within the classical architectural solutions of the last century.
