For MODX Catamarans, the obvious benefit of this partnership is access to a clientele already familiar with high-end yachting. Barnes Yachting is active in sales, charter, co-ownership and concierge services, drawing on the Barnes group’s international network. For its part, the luxury real estate specialist is adding a catamaran with a decidedly unconventional positioning to its offering.
Designed by VPLP Design, the MODX 70 features a propulsion system free from fossil fuels: two automated Aeroforce® inflatable wings provide sail propulsion, while electric motors, batteries and a large area of solar panels complete the energy system. The first boat notably reached La Grande-Motte after covering more than 2,000 miles without using fossil fuels.
The MODX 70 is anything but an unfamiliar catamaran to the Multihulls World community: it won Multihull of the Year 2025 in the Multiyacht category before being featured in a full test in our Forever Green Special Issue #24. That recognition and exposure are now taking on a new commercial dimension with this partnership, designed to introduce the MODX 70 - as well as a forthcoming smaller model expected to be announced shortly - to a broader international clientele.
