Latitude Yachts Opens Orders for LANIAKEA 88 Carbon Fiber Catamaran
Latitude Yachts announced on December 23 that it has opened orders for the LANIAKEA 88, an 88 foot carbon fiber luxury power catamaran designed with a performance first focus. The model promises lightweight construction, an ultra shallow draft for access to fragile anchorages, generous interior volume, and flexible layouts that matter to owners and charter operators.
Latitude Yachts launched order availability for the LANIAKEA 88 on December 23, revealing a performance first power catamaran built around lightweight carbon fiber construction and naval architecture by Dixon Yacht Design. Exterior and interior design work is led by Chulhun Park. The announcement set out the platform as a vessel that prioritizes strength to weight and seakeeping while delivering usable volume and access to shallow anchorages.
Key technical highlights include an approximate draft of 0.61 meters, a beam engineered to produce interior volume comparable to larger vessels, and propulsion based on twin OXE 300 Jet Tech diesel outboards paired with waterjets. Optional propulsion configurations are available. The LANIAKEA 88 can be specified with four to six guest cabins plus crew quarters, and onboard systems include digital switching, battery supported quiet operation and optional solar assistance.
For owners and charter operators the appeal is practical and immediate. The ultra shallow draft opens lagoon and coral bay access that deeper draft boats cannot reach, while the carbon fiber build reduces displacement and supports both higher cruising speeds and improved fuel efficiency. Waterjet propulsion can reduce the risk of propeller damage in shallow or debris laden waters and contributes to maneuverability in tight anchorages. Battery supported systems and solar assistance offer quieter operation at anchor and lower generator hours, which helps with marina relations and guest comfort.
The press announcement included order and delivery timeline details and contact information for Latitude Yachts. Interested parties should contact Latitude Yachts directly for pricing, delivery slots and technical options. With Dixon Yacht Design and Chulhun Park on board, LANIAKEA 88 represents a notable new direction in luxury power catamaran design that blends performance, access and volume for owners focused on adventurous cruising and premium charter experiences.
