Axiom 40: a multihull with a waterfall

Designer Mauro Giamboi has unveiled a concept for a 40-meter catamaran featuring a "revolutionary" beach club with a waterfall.

The Axiom 40 project is designed for both private and charter use. The yacht will include three glass-edged infinity pools, three bars, and a master suite with a private office and terrace.



The beach club occupies approximately one-third of the catamaran’s hull, with an area exceeding 120 square meters. The space incorporates fold-down terraces, sliding doors connecting the twin hulls, and VIP cabins with balconies that open directly into the beach club. On the main deck, there’s a glass-bottom infinity pool that filters natural light into the beach club, while an artificial waterfall cleverly conceals the tunnel between the hulls.

The yacht accommodates five cabins, including a 55-square-meter owner’s suite complete with a private office, spa-style bathroom, and a terrace with a pool. The remaining cabins are located in the hulls of the yacht.



The main saloon is designed as a social hub, featuring a lounge area, dining space, and a bar. It provides direct access to a large aft terrace where guests can enjoy the largest of the three infinity pools, as well as sunbathe and relax on spacious sofas.

Additional highlights of the catamaran include a sundeck equipped with a bar, pool, and an optional helm station, as well as an elevator connecting the main, upper, and sundeck levels. A hydraulic platform at the stern can host a 10-meter tender and lowers flush to sea level.



According to Giamboi, the catamaran offers the comfort and capacity of a 60-meter monohull yacht while retaining the advantages of multihulls, such as efficiency, stability, and shallow draft.

The concept supports hybrid diesel-electric propulsion, providing a maximum speed of 15-16 knots and a range of approximately 3,500 nautical miles. Key specifications include a beam width of 13.4 meters and a gross tonnage of 470-490 GT.
