Multihull Special 2023: Superyachts (Sunreef 43m Eco)
In Multihull Special: Superyachts, more shipyards and owners commit to larger catamarans, with the world’s largest sailing cat set to launch in Italy and Poland’s Sunreef signing the first 100 Eco and two orders for its 43M Eco.
Multihull Special 2023: Power (Aquila 42 Yacht)
With power catamarans moving into the mainstream, monohull builders have been moving into the multihull market, while many new companies are preparing to launch twin-hulled motor yachts.
Multihull Special 2023: Sail (Lagoon Escapade Thailand)
Meanwhile, sailing cats still lead the multihull industry around the world and in Asia, where Lagoon Escapades are blooming while other leading brands increase their presence across the region.

Review: Azimut Grande 36M
The Reviews section starts with Azimut’s magnificent Grande 36M. Following Alberto Mancini’s work on the Grande Trideck, Azimut entrusted him to design its second-biggest superyacht, with the new Grande 36M also featuring a stunning interior by Achille Salvagni.
Review: Sunseeker 100 Yacht
Sunseeker’s biggest new model launched since 2017, the 100 Yacht can reach up to 30 knots, while its attractions include walkaround access between the flybridge and foredeck, as well as a stunning owner’s suite fronted by a cosy bow terrace.
Review: Gulf Craft Majesty 72
Gulf Craft’s new Majesty 72 is also reviewed. Boasting a 19ft 5in beam, the voluminous Majesty 72 ushers in a new dawn for Gulf Craft as the UAE builder’s first collaboration with the Netherlands-based Phathom Studio.
Review: Prestige M48
Continuing the issue’s multihull theme, Reviews include the Prestige M48 designed by Camillo Garroni with Philippe Briand. The brand’s first multihull is taller and slimmer than its powercat competitors, yet offers large, innovative outdoor areas and a breathtaking full-beam owner’s suite.
Review: Leopard 40 Powercat
New in 2023, the Leopard 40 Powercat is also in the spotlight. Following Leopard’s 53 and 46 Powercat models, the sharp-lined, three-cabin 40 completes the brand’s new family of power catamarans by Simonis Voogd Design.
Review: Fountaine Pajot MY4.S
