In collaboration between Olympic sailor Mitch Booth and yacht designer Malcolm McKeon a new brand of luxury catamaran superyachts, BlackCat, was created.

Measuring 50m, the concept would become the largest single-structure carbon-fibre yacht in the world if built. The lightweight construction and efficient design means that she will be capable of reaching speeds up to 30 knots.

Australian yachtsman Booth said:
There are so many advantages to large multihull cruising compared to our monohull cousins, such as speed, space, low heel comfort, the list goes on and on. This ‘super cat’ concept is really exciting because there is nothing else available that combines the practicality of an enormous, stable, platform, with exhilarating performance

He continued:
The accommodation space on board is a whopping 340 square metres, all within a 50-metre vessel; something that has not been done until now. It’s a logical progression for superyacht designs to move towards catamarans

The yacht will offer guests an extremely stable deck for comfortable nights at anchor thanks to the low levels of roll and pitch movement.
I’m thrilled that we’re designing this new style of catamaran. There has been space in the market for some time for a large catamaran design that can offer the luxury and quality of a superyacht this size, and also provide this stability and high performance
added McKeon
