catamaran

Imagine cruising in total silence in the spaciousness, comfort and elegance of a catamaran that will take you to faraway places without leaving a trace in the environment.

Two sailboat experts argue monohull vs. catamaran.

Looking for a new home port? Moran has a berth available for sale in France. Also, Sunreef Yachts has announced three new contracts: an 80 Carbon Line, a 82 Double Deck and a 90 Power.

When Sunreef introduced the 82 Double Deck as a more fuel-efficient alternative to a motoryacht, little did the company executives imagine the first buyers would be a couple dissatisfied with their own powerboat—or that they would take the catamaran, christened Houbara, around the world.

Check in with Icon and their new project by Ivan Erdevicki, visit the ISA yard to see the launch of their 41-meter Aziza, and swing by Sunreef to see their latest power catamaran design.

Custom yachtbuilder Logos Marine Ltd. has launched the first 110-foot-6-inch (33.7-meter) power catamaran Quaranta, christened SuperMaran, for Curvelle. Curvelle’s founder and CEO Luuk van Zanten assembled an A-list team to bring his dream to fruition.

Superyachts, and particularly their sprawling decks, inspired Sunreef’s new 82-foot Double Deck sailing catamaran, Houbara.A 377-square-foot (35-square meter) flybridge —which includes the main helm station—tops the deckhouse, and the interior features a sumptuous owner’s suite.

This 71-foot catamaran by designer Christian Grande may well be the yacht world’s response to the slow-food movement. It celebrates going slow and making time to enjoy nature and family. Nothing will escape guests on board this boat. Even the floor is put to good use to showcase the elements.

Sunreef Yachts celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2012. It has been an eventful decade for the company that Frenchman Francis Lapp established in Poland. Since the 2008 launch of the first 70 Sunreef Power, the company has contributed—perhaps more than any other—to the phenomenal growth of the powercat, particularly on the charter market.

Jill Bobrow chats with Alec and Barbara Hammond, the owners of Blue Horizon, Hull No. One of the new Horizon PC58 series.

The Horizon PC58 made its world debut at the 2011 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and proved to be a great success story with several orders following its first appearance. This surprising 58-footer, part of Horizon’s new power catamaran series, has the volume of a boat twice its length and is easily handled by a couple of experienced boaters.
