Or go 4 cabins. For the galley up version, a forward-facing navigation station has been added. ▫️ In the saloon, the day bed has been retained as well as the large forward facing opening windows, designed & built to Category A certification for open ocean sailing. 360 degree vision, ergonomics, and ventilation ✅ ▫️ She has side access gates and extended transoms for easier boarding plus 800mm stanchions with four lifelines for security at sea. ▫️ Standard propulsion is twin 29hp Yanmar diesels.

This video covers the MODX 70 Catamaran : powered by inflatable wing sails and renewable energies, this luxury yacht represents a step-change in yachting innovation. Is this the future of sailing? I don't think this is going to replace sloop rigged sailboats any time soon, but I can see much of this technology being used in other yachts. This is definitely going to spawn even more innovation, some of the technology they have developed here is inspired- and she is on the seas an sailing! . We cover a technical explanation of how this 100% renewable-energy yacht works with a quick tour of the interiors from La Grand Motte at the International Multihull Show. This 70-foot catamaran didn’t just turn heads—it redefined what’s possible at sea: visionary technology, zero-emission autonomy, and uncompromising comfort. Is the MODX70 a harbinger of a new era? . She was developed by Océan Développement, a French shipyard with deep roots in offshore racing and technological innovation and VPLP. #innovation #design #yachts

The Tortue 147, from Cataruga is designed as a home where the journey is as important as the destination. Take a look with us on this boat tour from La Grande Motte. It was one of the busiest boats at the show. . As the saying goes, the tortoise moves forward at its own pace, with confidence. And that's how it goes further than anyone else. . Mad from aluminium, she's strong, durable and designed for the demands of long-distance sailing. And can be recycled, part of a resource-friendly approach, that is a central part of Cataruga's philosophy. . On the Turtle 147, aluminum is a promise of longevity, safety and confidence. . Inside is where the designer's imagination has run wild - this yacht has been designed to make you forget you're on a boat. It's built to be a cocoon, a soothing, luminous space that invites you to slow down and enjoy life with family and friends. . #yachts #aluminum #floatinghomes

We take a look around the Seawind 1170. Is this our new favourite sub 40-foot sailing catamaran? It could well be. It's the perfect size for a couple and should do well in the European market where marina space is tighter. There are some clever design touches and she looks a very safe boat to walk around and pull the ropes on.

Join us on a tour of the Vaan R5 at the International Multihull Show in La Grande Motte, France.

Her hulls are 60% made from recycled aluminium and where possible Vaan have used circular materials, for example the recycled fabrics and cork decks. . She was nominated for the 2025 European Yacht of the Year, a luxury platform to explore the distant places and faraway islands
