Not just one new Catalyst but two new Catalyst builds. This one is entirely bespoke with a long list of custom features, not least of which is it will be a foiling version powered by twin 600 hp Mercury motors.
Commissioned as a support tender for a South Pacific based superyacht, it will be the most luxurious Catalyst to date with a high-end equipment and finishes specified throughout..
Ben, Glyn and the team have made significant progress with the hull about to be lifted off the mould. Due for launch mid 2024 there is no time for them to rest on their laurels.
