DESCRIPTION

The BlackCat 30 (30.4m/100ft) design has been created following many client requests for a catamaran of this size and it’s the latest addition to the portfolio of these next generation, sleek, state-of-the-art, and high-performance multihull superyachts. The BlackCat 50 was the first of these impressive multihulls to be introduced to the market place, and the BlackCat 30 has the same beautiful lines as its larger sister and features a spectacular interior design by M2 Atelier.

The BlackCat 30 provides accommodation for up to eight guests in six cabins, along with quarters for a complement of four crew.  The yacht has a very open and spacious feel, with the main deck saloon on a single level and big enough to cater for large dinner parties and entertaining.

The many advantages of fast and comfortable sailing on a multihull, capable of cruising at 20 knots and reaching maximum speeds in excess of 30 knots, with a low heel angle and a stable platform, make the BlackCat 30 an appealing alternative to a 40m monohull. To accommodate a client’s wishes, each design can be tailor-made right down to the smallest detail.

The BlackCat range of superyachts are at the cutting edge of cruising performance and due to the lightweight carbon fibre construction, the yachts are able to sail or motor very efficiently, minimising emissions and, in some cases, eliminating them completely.

BlackCat Superyachts have identified McConaghy Boats as the builder of choice for the BlackCat 30.  McConaghy are widely regarded as the experts in the specialist construction of midsize carbon fibre multihulls. McConaghy is the latest addition to the existing alliance of industry-leading suppliers united by BlackCat Superyachts, with other notable names involved including the North Sails and Southern Spars, reinforcing the benchmark already established by BlackCat Superyachts in the large luxury cruising catamaran market.

Founded in 2015 by Mitch Booth, the Blackcat brand sets the standard in large cruising catamarans. Our team of specialized expert consultants in design, engineering, build, sails and mast will create and deliver the ultimate cruising multihull.

Black Cat 30: Daring catamaran concept promises superyacht luxury at 32 knots

• August 20, 2020

Third in the dynasty of fast, sleek superyacht catamarans designed by Malcolm McKeon, the BlackCat 30 carries many of the hallmarks of her bigger sisters.

There’s the sleek curve of the glass superstructure, the powerful rig and the all-carbon build. The huge aft deck, main saloon and foredeck are all on the same level, offering sightlines that run all the way through the boat.

Oh, and she’s designed to cruise at 20 knots with an all-out maximum of 32 knots under sail.

The BlackCat 30 is conceived by Olympic and America’s Cup veteran Mitch Booth, so don’t go looking for jacuzzis, plunge pools or spa-gyms.

Despite her bar, island beds, designer bathrooms and 7.2m tender, this boat is all about fast passage times and embarrassing opponents on the racecourse.

Hydraulically-controlled daggerboards should make the BlackCat 30 a snappy windward performer.

“With a self-tacking jib, hydraulic main sheet and four winches in the pit, she’s easy to handle with a small, professional crew,” Booth tells us.

“She offers effortless and impressive boat speed and acceleration – a sporty superyacht . The power to weight ratio equates to the highest performing superyacht available today.”

BLACKCAT: THE FAST FULL CARBON CATAMARAN OF THE FUTURE

• Paola Bertelli
• September 30, 2016

Mitch Booth is a professional sailor, who took part to Olympic and Ocean races, American Cup and many other important international competitions, becoming world champions many times.

We met him along the quays of Monaco Boat Show. Like all the other visitors, we was admiring yachts and superyachts but, above all, he was there as the founder of BlackCat Superyachts . During his interesting press conference, he presented both his new ambitious project and the partnership with Baltic Yachts , one among the most important yachting brands. Baltic takes its place alongside other two BlackCat’s partners, North Technology Group ( North Sails, Southern Spars and Future Fibers) and M2 Atelier , an international architecture studio .

A catamaran of this size – 50.44  m long and 18.50 m wide – can be compared to a 70-metre yacht. Compared to a multihull, lists are minimal. Aboard, comfort is ensured: huge windows, boundless spaces and a breath-taking modern design anywhere.

The astern cockpit platform is boundless , two real staircases lead to the beach club and the fore cockpit, equipped with a luxury swimming pool, is very large, too.

Of course, many details can be tailor-made.

The project is by Malcom McKeon , a very experience designer who has signed over 200 boats, about 50 of which with a length of over 30 metres.
