Resort
Not for everyone
When choosing a Catalyst, you are more than just buying a boat; you are joining an exclusive group of discerning individuals – you are making a bold declaration of individuality, a statement proclaiming that you do not settle for the ordinary and having things your way is the only way.
And although other boat builders will tell you you can customise their boats, what they really mean is you can choose from a limited number of pre-determined options. Want to change the shape of the cabin superstructure, make it water jet powered, add foils – the response is a smug smile and a resounding “NO”!
So, if you want your guests' introduction to your resort to be mundane, derivative, and uninspiring, then don’t talk to us.
If, however, you want to astound with a meticulously crafted tender, finished to superyacht standards with the DNA of an America’s Cup chase boat co-created by you. Then, let's get started.
With Emirates Team New Zealand America’s Cup team as the genesis, the lineage of these high-octane boats stems from internationally awarded designers Morelli and Melvin. Redefining expectations, the Catalyst design is steeped in performance, where achieving blistering speeds of 60 knots is not hype; it's a proven track record backed by Emirates Team New Zealand's championship pedigree.*
Previously built by Salthouse Boats, Catalyst received a new home with Lloyd Stevenson Boatbuilders in 2020.
These high-performance catamarans are powerful, lightweight, very capable sea boats with exceptional ride and handling. But raw power is just the foundation. Constructed from strong and lightweight epoxy composite laminates with carbon reinforcing, every Catalyst is not just assembled; it is meticulously crafted, with our team of artisans pouring their passion into ensuring every boat is completed to Lloyd’s exacting standards.
Each Catalyst is customised to our client's needs. Think of it like this: with other boat builders, you choose from their existing menu. With Catalyst, you reimagine the entire restaurant. To date, this highly customisable platform is not only the chase boat of choice for most of America’s Cup race teams, it is also a luxury private resort tender, an island-hopping adventurer, a sleek racing superyacht’s support boat, and a luxury, family weekender.
Excelling at every task it has been asked to perform, of the 25 built to date, no two are the same: 4 x 600 hp Mercury V12 outboard motors, inboard motors, water jet propulsion, fold-down cockpit topsides, bow beach landing/swim stairs, foil-assist; the options list is only limited by your imagination - like a tailor-made suit, the Catalyst fits you perfectly. It is possibly why a very well-known tech billionaire currently owns five.
So, if you are ready for an experience that is as exclusive as it is exhilarating. Where there are no crowded showrooms or pressure sales tactics. Where our dedicated team of passionate, professional boat builders are your partners in crafting your boat. Where we ensure your journey is as extraordinary as the vessel itself. Then contact us today and let the adventure begin.
