Verdict
SPACECAT 36M is a highly distinctive large catamaran yacht with striking volume, strong deck lifestyle features, and efficient high-speed cruising for her size. She is best suited to owners who prioritize space, stability, and modern cruising amenities over pure simplicity or low running costs.
Avantages
- +Very large catamaran platform with strong interior and exterior volume
- +Efficient, fast cruising for a 36m yacht
- +Comfortable guest accommodation with en-suite cabins
- +Good stability and shallow draft typical of a catamaran
- +Strong lifestyle appeal for entertaining and long-range cruising
Inconvénients
- −High running costs are likely given the size and four-engine setup
- −Wide beam can make some marina access and berthing more demanding
- −Less traditional sea-going feel than a monohull
- −Complex systems and propulsion package may increase maintenance burden
SPACECAT 36M stands out for its architecture: a wide aluminium catamaran hull that prioritizes usable space, stability, and open-plan living. Public listings consistently show a length of about 35.9m and a beam of 13.3m, with five guest cabins advertised on some sources and four on others, so layouts can vary by listing or configuration.[1][3][7][15]
On the water, the yacht is generally described as fast and efficient for her class, with reported cruising speeds around 17–18 knots and top speeds in the low-to-mid 20-knot range depending on configuration and source.[1][3][6][7][10][16] The IPS pod-drive setup should help with close-quarters maneuvering, but the very wide catamaran footprint still requires careful handling in tight berths and busy marinas.[1][3][16]
Comfort is one of SPACECAT’s main strengths. Her large gross tonnage, broad beam, and multi-cabin guest layout support a spacious cruising experience, and listed range figures around 3,300 nm suggest credible long-distance capability at economical speeds.[1][7][15][16] The tradeoff is cost: the four-engine propulsion package, large systems capacity, and premium build suggest a yacht that will be expensive to operate and maintain relative to more conventional 36m motor yachts.[1][15][16]
