Another P-47 Launch - Alexa hits the water featuring a new standard arrangement plan with forward facing settee and large aft galley with refrigerator and freezer drawer units.

 

Also we dressed -up the P-47 exterior details with new oval portlights, huge opening window hatches forward in the house and molded extension wings on the aft bulkhead make our profile even more stunning. She is the prettiest power catamaran on the water.

The P-47 Flybridge is now a reality. What better way to enjoy fine weather than from a perch above the decks.

Beautiful new video of our P-47 hull #6 at the Miami boat show. This yacht is irresistable. And, check out the stills as the P-47 anchored at Hawksbill Cay in the Exumas..

Check out our P-47 image gallery - she's a beauty!

We kept #2 in Maine this past summer and made her available for bareboat charter. This was a great opportunity to explore the bold coast of Maine and discover a truly unique power catamaran experience.

The charterers loved its spaciousness, ease of handling and fuel efficiency while it gave us the opportunity to tweak all elements of the P-47. 

We've all waited longer that we wanted to for the P-47, but getting it right for our customers was and remains "Mission #1".

Here she is, our first P-47 production unit.

View "Moxie" on the water: Powered with Yanmar 4 BY2 180 hp common-rail diesel engines, the new P-47 will be visiting the boat shows this fall.

We've succeeded in designing a one-of-a-kind powered catamaran that is making history. It is  roomy, comfortable, safe, FAST and FUEL EFFICIENT. Those last two qualities are hard to come by in a traditional powered yacht.

During the sea trials we determined the P-47's maximum speed, fuel consumption at various cruising speeds, sound level, and handling characteristics. She exceeded our design expectations.

Our production line is now underway - bringing you a unique yacht for your cruising pleasure. Thank you again for your interest in the new Maine Cat P-47 and let me know if we can be of any assistance in your search for the perfect power cruising catamaran. Dick
