Nothing seems to be able to slow the growth of the luxury multihull sector. Orders are flooding in: and in addition to one-offs designed and built to order, builders are now launching small series production runs. The likes of Fountaine Pajot are now joining Sunreef and Lagoon in this sector. The advantages of these two- or three-hull platforms seem to be convincing: stability, XXL living space and layout possibilities are appealing to yachtsmen who have come from monohulls, but also to newcomers to (large) yachting. More and more projects, bigger and bigger units are being launched and innovation knows no bounds: this is the world of dream multipowers!

CONTOY 70 ATLAHUA

Vacuum infusion and à la carte finish

The Italian design by Roberto Curto is characterized by an incredible amount of glazed surface areas, both in the nacelle and in the hulls, where many vertical portholes are to be found. The construction, planned in infusion, guarantees a managed displacement and therefore more modest consumption. This project also has the originality of being designed in Europe but built in Mexico. The new model can be customized to order – for example, a hybrid drivetrain can be installed.

The #1 interest of these new ocean-going multihulls is their very low drag. The LEEN 72, like her smaller sistership, the 56, 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 – just a very beamy one! Maximum habitability, panoramic view from the pod, low consumption, good behavior in rough seas: the 72 promises to be an ideal craft for blue water cruising or even exploration missions.

SERENITY 72

An owner’s suite with panoramic views

With 20 years’ experience in custom building and refitting aluminum, steel and composite yachts, Serenity Yachts has also launched a range of powercats driven by electric motors. The yard, based in Antalya, Turkey, has just announced a new model, but this time equipped with a traditional internal combustion engine. Built in aluminum, this ocean-going multiyacht designed by the team of French-based architect Pierre Delion will be marketed by Camper & Nicholsons. The layout was designed by Darnet Design. A few figures give an idea of the promised comfort: 1,830 square feet (170 m²) of available deck space and 3,445 sq ft (320 m²) inside... The room of choice will certainly be the owner’s cabin: though it can occupy the entire port hull, it will certainly be even more successful when positioned forward on the main deck. From the king-size bed facing the bows, the panoramic view will take your breath away. In all, the Serenity 72 can accommodate up to 10 guests in three to five cabins, depending on the configuration chosen by the Owner.
The first Serenity ...
