Catana Group launches YOT 41 power catamaran with spacious single-level deck

Catana Group’s YOT 41 answers the buyer’s real question fast: what does multihull DNA buy you in a 41-footer that a conventional powerboat usually does not? In this case, it buys width you can actually use. The 41-foot, 2-inch power cat carries a 14-foot, 7-inch beam, a 3-foot, 7-inch draft, and a deck plan built around a central passageway, opening side wings, and a single-level social space that feels aimed squarely at owners who want room to move, not just room on paper.

That layout is the boat’s calling card. The YOT 41 is set up as a modular day cruiser and weekender, with the beam translating into livability rather than wasted volume. Standard propulsion comes from twin 300-hp Mercury V8 outboards, and the boat carries CE Classification B12. For a catamaran-minded buyer, that combination points to the same priorities Catana made its name on in sailing: stability, space, and a clean, easy flow from helm to salon to cockpit.

Belowdecks, the YOT 41 pushes beyond the usual dayboat brief. The boat can sleep four in two cabins, and each cabin has its own bathroom, which puts it into proper overnight territory for couples or two-adult cruising with guests. A fuel capacity of about 450 gallons gives the model more range-minded credibility than the average oversized bow-rider, while the wide stance and 1.13-meter draft should make it feel less pinched around the marina and more composed when the water gets messy.

The bigger story is that Catana is not treating this as a one-off experiment. YOT is a newer brand, launched in September 2023 after earlier powercat experiments under the Bali name, and the YOT 41 is one of the first commercial models to come from Catana’s dedicated YOT factory in Aveiro, Portugal, a 60,000-square-meter site with 25,000 square meters of production space. The line has already made its mark, too: the YOT 41 won the 2025 European Powerboat of the Year award at boot Düsseldorf, where roughly 450 guests packed the ceremony.

At a base price of about $1.075 million, the YOT 41 is not trying to be the cheap answer in the 40-foot class. It is for buyers who want catamaran space, a true single-level deck, and the feel of a purpose-built motor cat rather than a monohull with extra beam bolted on. Those who want a lower entry price can look at the YOT 36; those who want the biggest payoff from Catana’s multihull thinking will find the YOT 41 is the sharper, more serious play.
