Verdict
The Cumberland 47 LC is a practical long-range power catamaran with a stable platform, modest draft, and a flexible three-cabin layout. Its twin 300 hp diesel setup makes it capable and efficient for cruising, though the design is more functional than luxurious and specifications vary across listings.

- +Three-cabin layout with private bathrooms on listed versions
- +Twin 300 hp diesels support strong cruising performance
- +Good fuel capacity for long-distance passagemaking
- +Air conditioning and Wi‑Fi suit charter use
Cons
- −Specifications vary between sources and listings
- −More practical than sporty in interior styling
- −Actual guest/berth configuration is inconsistent across listings
- −Handling is aided by size and spacing, but docking still needs care
The Cumberland 47 LC is a flybridge power catamaran built by Fountaine Pajot and known for its long-range cruising focus. The verified 2013 version measures about 46 feet overall, with a wide beam and shallow draft that suit coastal and island cruising.
On the water, the boat’s twin 300 hp diesel package gives it solid speed for a cruising catamaran and the wide engine separation should help with low-speed control. The hull form and proportions point to easy, steady passage-making rather than a performance-first feel, and the size should provide good directional stability.
Inside, the three-cabin arrangement is a strong fit for small groups, and the listed three-bathroom setup is a practical advantage for charter use. Air conditioning and Wi‑Fi improve comfort, while the layout and open deck areas make it more of a comfortable cruiser than a design-led luxury yacht.
In value terms, it is strongest for buyers or charterers who want range, space, and efficiency rather than a flashy profile. Because public listings conflict on guest capacity, berths, and some dimensions, the safest view is that this is a well-equipped but specification-sensitive model where the exact onboard configuration matters.
