► This brand-new center-console model with a walkaround deck is based on the hull of the HammerCat 35CC (40 units built). However, the deck, side decks, and cabin/wheelhouse are entirely new, developed in close collaboration with Du Toit Yacht Design. ► The double-stepped hull with wave-piercing bow from the 35CC has been retained. Like all HammerCat models, the 35HH features a glass/epoxy construction using infusion technology, along with a carbon-fiber hardtop. The vertical structure of the cabin is made of aluminum. ► The standard equipment on the HammerCat 35HH is already very comprehensive, yet can be further enhanced with electronic packages, specific engine configurations, and additional comfort options. ► Our senior reporter Brieuc Maisonneuve had the opportunity to test this brand-new 2026 model - just nominated for the 2026 MOTY in Fort Lauderdale: “In fairly demanding conditions, with 20 knots of wind and a choppy sea driven by the Gulf Stream, I had the chance to try the ultra-powerful HammerCat 35HH with Peter Wiersema, one of the two founders of HammerYachts. This is undoubtedly a no-compromise powercat, weighing only 4 tons thanks to its meticulous construction. Powered by twin 400 hp Mercury V10 outboards, the 35HH is truly a powerhouse, featuring a hull that delivers excellent seakeeping. An ideal powercat for sport fishing - but not only!” ► Technical Specifications: Builder: Hammer Yachts Material: foam/epoxy sandwich and carbon reinforcements Length: 34’1” (10.4 m) Beam: 11’10” (3.6 m) Laden displacement: 8,800 lbs (4 t) Payload: 2,200 lbs (1 t) Water: 40 US gal (150 l) Fuel: 2 x 210 US gal (2 x 800 l) Max speed: 44 knots with 2 x 350 HP outboards Max powertrain: 850 HP (up to 4 engines) Price : US$ 598 000 ex-tax ► Sign up for our newsletter and win a free two-month subscription to Multihulls World by clicking here: https://bit.ly/48JP1Vk ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!

► Discover the world premiere of the Aquila 50 Sail with Gwen Dorning, CEO of Multihulls World, and Nick Harvey, Chief Revenue Officer d'Aquila Boats. ► The 50 Sail is unmistakably an Aquila. The brand’s signature bar, seamlessly linking the aft cockpit to the saloon, stands out as a defining feature. Beyond its soft, rounded lines and elongated hull windows, the model also borrows an innovative concept from Aquila’s powercat range: direct access to the flybridge from the foredeck. Elegantly integrated steps, complemented by a refined handrail, create a fluid and natural connection between these two living areas. ► Several elements reveal the brand’s powerboat heritage: a dedicated tender crane system, an impressively spacious owner’s suite, generously appointed heads, and private access to each cabin. The interior styling enhances the sense of luxury, with carefully selected materials such as sophisticated curtains, leather detailing, and rug in the saloon. Notably, traditional side walkways have been replaced by predominantly open living spaces, reinforcing the boat’s contemporary feel. ► Yet the true revelation lies in the Aquila 50 Sail’s performance under sail. The builder has equipped the boat with a genuine interior chart table - standard across the sailing range - and an outstanding flybridge helm station. The centrally positioned wheel, flanked by winches with control lines led to either side, offers excellent ergonomics and exceptional visibility, ensuring confident and enjoyable sailing. ► Technical specifications: Builder: Aquila Boats Length: 49’1” (14.97 m) Beam: 25’9” (7.86 m) Draft: 3’4” (1.7 m) Air draft: 82’6” (25.15 m) Light displacement: 50,600 lbs (24 t) Mainsail: 968/1,037 sq ft (90/96.4 m²) Motors: 2 x 50 kW or 2 x 50/60/75 HP Fuel: 222 US gal (865 l) Water: 232 US gal (880 l) CE Certification: A12/B12/C20/D30 Base price: US$ 1,391,000 ex-tax Boat Show special price: US$ 1,900,000 ex-tax ► Sign up for our newsletter and win a free two-month subscription to Multihulls World by clicking here: https://bit.ly/48JP1Vk ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!

► Our correspondent in South Africa, Jonathan Jagot, was able to test the 2026 Leopard 53 PC departing from Cape Town. ► Indeed, the largest model in Leopard Catamarans’ power range was launched in early 2020 - celebrated with a world premiere at the Miami International Boat Show - so it was high time to revisit the design, especially as competition in the 50-55ft powercat segment has intensified significantly. The Leopard Catamarans and Robertson & Caine teams have therefore introduced an all-new interior design, which proves to be far warmer and more inviting than the previous version. The overall layout remains unchanged, retaining the signature split galley close to the cockpit and the saloon located near the forward door. ► The most striking changes concern the cockpit, where all seating has been redesigned to be modular - so if you feel like turning the aft deck into a dance floor, that’s now entirely possible. Notable, too, is the improved integration of the aft platform, now considered a true extension of the cockpit rather than a simple add-on served by an inadequate guardrail. ► The new 53PC also benefits from additional storage beneath the floors and seating, along with more modern lighting throughout. ► Full review in an upcoming issue of Multihulls World. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Robertson & Caine Overall length: 53’1” (16.19 m) Beam: 25’2” (7.67 m) Draft: 3’2” (0.97 m) Air draft: 26’3” (8.00 m) Displacement: 41,075 lbs (18.6 t) Motors: 2 x 370 HP Fuel: 581 US gal (2,200 l) Water: 185 US gal (700 l) Speed: 17.5/22 knots ► Sign up for our newsletter and win a free two-month subscription to Multihulls World by clicking here: https://bit.ly/48JP1Vk ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!

► Unveiled for the first time in Miami, the TH33 is marketed as a family day cruiser/weekender, not a fishing boat. ► At the helm, two wide, forward-facing seats accommodate the skipper and a passenger. The curved panoramic windshield can be complemented by a T-top. Easy access to the central cockpit and the head facilitates movement. The outdoor galley is equipped with a sink, a refrigerator, and an optional electric grill. In total, the deck offers 37 m² of usable space. The large storage area can be transformed into a mini-cabin, accessible by removing the cushions and opening a door, although this door could be made lighter. The head is cleverly separated. ► This powercat, now presented in Jeanneau colors, is so compact that it almost gives the impression of being aboard a monohull bowrider. What about its performance at sea? We will know more soon since a sea trial is scheduled for mid-April in Cannes. ► Technical Specifications Builder: Jeanneau Hull length: 31’10” (9.7 m) Beam: 12’6” (3.83 m) Light displacement with engines: 12,471 lbs (5.65 t) Max powertrain: 2 x 300 HP outboards Fuel: 238 US gal (900 l) Water: 25 US gal (95 l) Price: € 354,000 ex-tax ► Sign up for our newsletter and win a free two-month subscription to Multihulls World by clicking here: https://bit.ly/48JP1Vk ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!

► For the first presentation of the Aventura brand in the United States, the manufacturer chose to showcase the 38 Fly, one of the four models in the 38 family. The power catamaran, launched just over a year ago in its Sport Cruiser version, is also offered in three other versions; the Multihulls Mag community is well acquainted with the Sedan version, which graced the cover of our latest Special Motorboat Issue. The fourth model in the family will be the Sport, featuring a completely open living area. ► Let's return to the 38 Fly, which had its world premiere at the IMS: the deck layout retains the main features of the SC version – except that the galley is positioned on the exterior side – while the interior layout is very similar to the Sedan version, with a saloon to port and a galley to starboard. Access to the flybridge is via a (somewhat steep) staircase from the aft cockpit. Upstairs, there's room for 10 people; you can (still!) enjoy an outdoor kitchen and, of course, a helm station. A hardtop T-top is available as an option. ► Coming soon to Multihulls World! ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Builder: Aventura Yachts Architect: Lasta Design Studio / BE STGI Length overall: 38’ (11.6 m) Beam: 17’5” (5.3 m) Draft: 31” (0.78 m) Light displacement: 17,637 lbs (8 t) Inboard engines: 2 x 250 / 320 / 370 HP Yanmar Price: from € 549,500 ex-tax ► Sign up for our newsletter and win a free two-month subscription to Multihulls World by clicking here: https://bit.ly/48JP1Vk ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!

► We had the opportunity to discover the brand-new Balance 502 in a world premiere at the Miami International Boat Show (MIBS). Named TigerLily, it has just arrived from South Africa. This new model from Balance Catamarans is taking over from the 482. On board, skipper Phoebe - a member of the Outer Passage team - is preparing to set sail for the Bahamas for the coming months, before heading back up to Maine in the summer of 2026. ► Built in the Cape Town factory, the 502 incorporates Integrel Versadrive technology, marking its second application for Balance. True to the shipyard's DNA, it retains the brand's iconic features: carbon fiber transom, sliding wheel steering, sleek and elegant hulls… while also introducing a host of new innovations. Among them are stern skirts equipped with folding "doors," designed to enhance safety at sea and at anchor, especially with children on board. ► A full review will be available in an upcoming issue! ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Builder: Balance Catamarans Length: 50’ (15.25 m) Beam: 25’11” (7.9 m) Draft: 3’10”/7’5” (1.16/2.27 m) Displacement: 28,220 lbs (12.8 t) Mainsail: 1,029 sq ft (95.63 m²) Self-tacking jib: 423 sq ft (39.31 m²) Drivetrain: 2 x 45 HP and 2 x 15 kW (option) Fuel: 211 US gal (800 l) Price: $1,799,500 ex-tax www.balancecatamarans.com ► Sign up for our newsletter and win a free two-month subscription to Multihulls World by clicking here: https://bit.ly/48JP1Vk ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!

► The First Sailing Yacht from a Powercat Specialist ► Aquila Boats, a leading name in the world of powercats, is making a striking entry into the sailing arena. After announcing its arrival on the sailing catamaran market, the shipyard is now unveiling its very first model, presented here at the 2026 Miami Boat Show: the 50 Sail. ► At first glance, there is no doubt, this is unmistakably an Aquila. The brand’s signature bar, seamlessly connecting the aft cockpit to the saloon, is immediately recognizable and remains a true hallmark of the builder. Beyond the rounded lines and elongated hull windows, Aquila also carries over an innovative concept from its powercat range: direct access to the flybridge from the foredeck. Perfectly integrated steps, extended by an elegant handrail, ensure a smooth and natural connection between these two living spaces. ► Several features clearly reflect the brand’s powerboat DNA: a crane system for the tender, an XXL owner’s cabin, particularly luxurious bathrooms, and independent access for each cabin. The interior design - especially the choice of materials, including refined curtains, leather finishes, and carpeting in the saloon - adds an extra touch of sophistication. ► The real surprise, however, lies in the boat’s sailing credentials. Aquila offers a genuine interior chart table - featured across the entire sailing range - along with a particularly impressive helm station installed on the flybridge. A central steering wheel, surrounded by winches with control lines led to either side, provides carefully designed ergonomics and outstanding visibility over the water. With 156 square meters of upwind sail area, the 50 Sail promises strong sailing performance. ► All that remains is to experience her underway during our sea trial scheduled for next week. ► Stay tuned! ► Sign up for our newsletter and win a free two-month subscription to Multihulls World by clicking here: https://bit.ly/48JP1Vk ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!

► A Small Spot for Multihulls in Miami! ► The 2026 edition of the Miami International Boat Show got off to a flying start. Under brilliant sunshine, I handed out all my Multihull of the Year stickers and banners — much to the delight of the builders present. Of the 36 nominees this year, 18 had made the trip, giving this new edition strong visibility from day one. ► As is often the case in Miami, the show layout has changed once again. This year, sailing multihulls were grouped together at Sailors’ Cove, at the IGY Marina on McArthur Causeway. This is now where you’ll find the main players in the sailing industry… even if they were fewer in number than in previous years. In just 30 minutes, my dock walk was complete. ► Those who did attend, however, came in force. @FountainePajot took the front line with four boats on display — including the new FP44 — along with two Dufour models, the only sailing monohulls at the show. @LeopardCatamaran, @BaliCatamarans (with three models), @EXCESSCatamarans (the 11 and the 13) completed the line-up among the major brands. Other notable appearances included the world premiere of the @aquilaboats 50 Sail, the striking @balancecatamarans 502 delivered straight from South Africa, as well as HeySea, @ChantierCATANA @HHCatamarans, @catamaransOutremer and @visionyachts_sa. On the charter side, the usual key players were present: @TheMooringsCharters @SunsailHolidays @DreamYachtWorldwide, @NavigareYachting2001 and @waypointcharter9109. ► After a particularly smooth and efficient shuttle transfer — worth mentioning, as that hasn’t always been the case in Miami — I headed to Collins Avenue to explore the power multihulls. Unfortunately, they are neither numerous nor grouped together in this section of the show, meaning a fair amount of walking is required. Still, the visit was worthwhile, with the new Aventura 38 MY, the TH33 now showcased on the @JeanneauOfficiel stand and a refreshed Leopard 53PC (videos coming soon). While the selection of powercats on Collins remains limited, major players such as Aquila, @SUNREEFYACHTSOFFICIAL, Yot, @prestigeyacht4386, @canadosyachts1805 , Moon Yachts and @WamaYachts were also on display. ► Meanwhile, the Convention Center was buzzing on opening day, particularly in the center console segment. A few catamarans, including WorldCat and Caymas showcased sleek and sporty lines. Equipment manufacturers were also well represented, although the presence of “green” technology players appears far less significant than at European boat shows. ► I’m delighted to be in Miami to announce the Multihull of the Year nominees and discover several world premieres — but please, MIBS, give multihulls a little more space! 😉 ► Sign up for our newsletter and win a free two-month subscription to Multihulls World by clicking here: https://bit.ly/48JP1Vk ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!

► It was hull #6 that we got to discover at FLIBS - the first three S60s are in charter work in Dubai, which is also the plan for the model that was on display at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. ► To give you an idea of this powercat’s capacity, there were about 20 of us sitting on the flybridge for the press conference and there was still room to spare! The S60 also offers a very generously glazed nacelle. Inside the hulls, there are four guest cabins and two crew cabins. For the time being, propulsion is provided by a pair of 440 HP motors that give a cruising speed of 10 knots and a maximum speed of 15 knots. This performance is soon set to be enhanced by 8 knots thanks to the installation of 700 HP motors. A large lithium-phosphate battery bank powers all on-board equipment, including air conditioning, and can count on powerful charging from 8.3 kWp solar panels. ► Technical Specifications Builder: Ocean Walker/Revolution Marine Group Length: 60’ (18.29 m) Waterline length: 57’10” (17.62 m) Beam: 27’6” (8.38 m) Draft: 2’9” (0.85 m) Displacement: 42 t Motors: 2 x 400/700 HP Cruising speed: 10/18 knots.

► Our correspondent in South Africa, Jonathan Jagot, was able to test the 2026 Leopard 53 PC departing from Cape Town. ► Indeed, the largest model in Leopard Catamarans’ power range was launched in early 2020 - celebrated with a world premiere at the Miami International Boat Show - so it was high time to revisit the design, especially as competition in the 50-55ft powercat segment has intensified significantly. The Leopard Catamarans and Robertson & Caine teams have therefore introduced an all-new interior design, which proves to be far warmer and more inviting than the previous version. The overall layout remains unchanged, retaining the signature split galley close to the cockpit and the saloon located near the forward door. ► The most striking changes concern the cockpit, where all seating has been redesigned to be modular - so if you feel like turning the aft deck into a dance floor, that’s now entirely possible. Notable, too, is the improved integration of the aft platform, now considered a true extension of the cockpit rather than a simple add-on served by an inadequate guardrail. ► The new 53PC also benefits from additional storage beneath the floors and seating, along with more modern lighting throughout. ► Full review in an upcoming issue of Multihulls World. ► Sign up for our newsletter and win a free two-month subscription to Multihulls World by clicking here: https://bit.ly/48JP1Vk ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!
