Introducing the all-new GranOcean W-66, a luxury power catamaran developed with real-world input from owners, captains, and experienced charter professionals. In this video, Catamaran Gurus explains the thinking behind the W-66: creating a yacht that delivers an exceptional private ownership experience while offering the potential to offset ownership costs through professionally managed crewed charters. We discuss the design philosophy, competitive entry pricing, and why the W-66 could be an exciting option for buyers considering a yacht as both a lifestyle choice and a business.

The GranOcean W-66 is a 66-foot luxury power catamaran in the GranOcean W-Series, designed for crewed charter or private ownership. It pairs the 32'9" beam of the W-72 with a shallow 3'11" draft, and gives the captain and crew their own private cabins and access. CAN A YACHT LIKE THE W-66 HELP PAY FOR ITSELF? That is the idea behind it. Through a professionally managed crewed charter program, charter income can offset part of the cost of ownership while the owner still enjoys the yacht privately. Catamaran Gurus can walk you through an illustrative charter financial analysis for your situation. HOW MANY GUESTS AND CREW DOES THE W-66 SLEEP? Up to five guest cabins in the standard layout, or six in the optional layout, plus private cabins for a captain and two crew. WHO IS THE W-66 FOR? Buyers who want a yacht they will enjoy and also put to work: first-time yacht owners exploring Yacht Ownership as a Business, experienced owners moving into a crewed power catamaran, and charter operators looking for a shallow-draft, high-volume yacht.
