BOAT highlights five luxury catamaran yachts, from power to full-carbon models

BOAT’s latest look at five catamarans for sale reads less like a wish list and more like a snapshot of where the top end of the multihull market is heading. The lineup leans on charter credibility, offshore range and serious volume, while also showing how much weight buyers now put on design pedigree and operating efficiency. BOAT says the selection runs from power cats to full-carbon high-tech multihulls, which is exactly the kind of spread that reveals a segmented market rather than a single trend.

This Is It: the charter icon that turned brokerage into theatre

This Is It sits at 43.5 metres with a 14.5-metre beam and a 2.22-metre draught, carrying an asking price of €46,000,000. Delivered in 2024, the Tecnomar catamaran was first unveiled at the 2023 Monaco Yacht Show and has already built a profile well beyond the usual brokerage crowd, becoming the world’s largest motor catamaran for charter. Its sculptural aluminium construction, two-deck owner’s suite and more than 600 square metres of glass make it feel less like a standard resale and more like a statement about what a headline-grabbing power cat can be.

That charter history matters because it gives the listing a kind of market proof that brochures alone cannot buy. BOAT notes that the yacht drew celebrity charter guests including Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, and that visibility has helped turn This Is It into one of the clearest examples of how a strong charter record can support a premium asking price in the catamaran segment. It is listed with IYC and Royal Yacht International, keeping the sales story tightly tied to brokers who already know how to place this level of yacht.

Hemisphere: the sailing giant that still sells the expedition dream

Hemisphere is even larger at 44.2 metres, with a 16.6-metre beam and a 3.1-metre draught, and it is asking €38,500,000. Built in 2011 and refitted in 2023, it was the world’s largest sailing catamaran when launched and still reads as a serious offshore machine rather than a lifestyle toy. BOAT calls it “the biggest cat in the jungle,” and that is the right lens for a yacht whose appeal comes from scale, capability and the promise of long-range adventure.

The listing makes clear that the buyer here is not only shopping for space, but for expedition credentials. Hemisphere comes with a 16.4-metre custom sportfishing tender for shore runs, diving and fishing, plus a stack of water toys, while Michael Leach Design handled the interior and VPLP Design drew the exterior and naval architecture. Listed with Burgess, it shows that the sailing end of the luxury cat market still trades on proven ocean-going authority as much as on finish.

Twilight: the sub-30-metre power cat packing superyacht volume

Twilight is the smallest boat in the group at 28.6 metres, but it is no lightweight in market terms. The Sunreef Power 100 carries a 13.5-metre beam, a 2.1-metre draught and a $15,950,000 asking price, with just one year since delivery from Sunreef’s facilities in Poland. BOAT says it offers some of the highest volume of any sub-30-metre yacht, and that is before you get to the spa pool on the flybridge, fold-down beach-club balconies and the 240 square metres of solar panels that generate up to 46kWp.

Twilight is also built to MCA commercial compliance, which pushes it beyond a private retreat and into the operationally flexible part of the market. BOAT notes there are currently no other Power 100s on the charter market, and that scarcity helps explain the appeal of a catamaran that balances hotel-style amenities, green energy support and real-world charter readiness in one package. In a segment where buyers are often weighing propulsion, charging and onboard loads across two hulls, Twilight is a strong signal that efficiency and volume are now part of the same conversation.

What the size bands say about luxury multihull demand

The real story here is not simply that these yachts are expensive, but that they cluster around distinct use cases. Above 40 metres, the market is rewarding either charter-proven status or expedition-grade sailing pedigree, while the sub-30-metre end is being shaped by buyers who want superyacht volume without giving up operating efficiency or commercial flexibility. BOATPro has tracked the multihull market as growing consistently since 2020, even if production has recently dipped, and outside market forecasts still point to growth as cruising and charter demand continue to rise.

That is the clearest sign of where multihull demand is heading: not toward one universal “best cat,” but toward sharper specialization. The brokerage market is already built to reflect that shift, with BOAT’s sales platform letting buyers filter by type, length, asking price, age and features, so the segment can be sorted by mission as much as by size. The boats in this feature show a market that now rewards a defined purpose, and the top end is being shaped by that discipline.
