Meet Two of the Most Exciting Names in Power Catamarans
Join Catamaran Gurus at the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and discover two up-and-coming power catamaran brands attracting attention for their fresh approach to design, performance and life on the water.
GranOcean is redefining the semi-custom luxury power catamaran with exceptional space, ocean-going capability and a highly personalized build experience. YOT Power Catamarans, created by the renowned Catana Group, is bringing bold styling, innovative social spaces and exhilarating performance to a new generation of power-cat owners.
At FLIBS, step aboard two standout models representing very different expressions of the power catamaran lifestyle:
- The GranOcean W-72: a semi-custom luxury yacht built for extended cruising
- The YOT 36: a stylish, versatile power cat designed for entertaining and effortless escapes
Both yachts will be displayed at Bahia Mar in separate locations.
- GranOcean W-72: Slip G7 30
- YOT 36: GH 23

GranOcean: A Rising Name in Semi-Custom Luxury
GranOcean W-72
Bahia Mar | Slip G7 30
GranOcean is earning recognition among discerning yacht owners by offering something increasingly rare: a genuinely collaborative, semi-custom build experience combined with proven engineering, exceptional volume and long-range capability.
The W-72 brings that philosophy to life in a 72-foot platform with a remarkable 32.9-foot beam. Flexible layouts, personalized finishes and thoughtfully engineered systems allow owners to shape the yacht around how they actually want to cruise.
Independent testing by BoatTEST put the W-72 through demanding conditions, including seas approaching six feet. The review highlighted her seaworthiness, extensive customization and intelligently organized onboard systems.
An Owner Experience That Exceeded Expectations
“The handling and the performance in the ocean surprised me the most. The performance, the quality, and the fit and finish were more than I expected.”
— Roy Anderson, GranOcean W-72 Owner
Perhaps the strongest endorsement of Roy’s experience is what came next: after completing his W-72, he began discussing ideas for another GranOcean yacht.
Why the GranOcean W-72 Is Turning Heads
- Exceptional interior and exterior volume
- Semi-custom layouts, finishes and technology
- Expansive flybridge and entertaining spaces
- Flexible three- to five-cabin configurations
- Owner-operator capability
- Ocean-going stability and long-range performance
- Accessible, carefully organized mechanical spaces
- Competitive positioning within the luxury yacht market
The W-72 is designed for owners who don’t want to adapt their lifestyle to a production yacht. They want a yacht designed around them.
YOT: A Bold New Generation of Power Catamarans
YOT 36
Bahia Mar | GH 23
Created by Catana Group, YOT Power Catamarans is one of the most exciting new names entering the power-cat market.
The brand combines decades of multihull-building experience with a fresh, performance-driven vision. Its models emphasize striking European styling, open social spaces, responsive handling and the freedom to enjoy the water without unnecessary complexity.
YOT’s growing reputation has already been reinforced by international recognition, with the YOT 41 earning the prestigious title of European Power Cat of the Year in 2025—an impressive early accolade for a young brand quickly establishing its place in the market.
Compact, Capable and Made to Entertain
The YOT 36 brings the brand’s signature design philosophy into an agile 36-foot platform.
Its fold-down side terraces transform the cockpit into a wide waterfront lounge, while flexible seating, two comfortable cabins and responsive outboard performance make it equally suited to entertaining, coastal cruising and weekend escapes.
Why the YOT 36 Stands Out
- Signature fold-down side terraces
- Adaptable lounge and dining configurations
- Two comfortable cabins
- Four forward-facing helm seats
- Open indoor-outdoor flow
- Responsive outboard performance
- Easy handling and maneuverability
- A manageable footprint with unexpectedly generous space
The result is a power catamaran that feels fresh, social and exciting—without requiring the size or complexity of a traditional motor yacht.
The YOT Lineup Is Growing
Looking for More? Discover the YOT 53
Looking for more space and longer-range cruising capability? The new YOT 53 brings YOT’s bold design philosophy to a larger, inboard-powered platform created for extended adventures.
Expect expansive indoor-outdoor living, fold-out terraces, a full-beam owner’s suite and innovative features that challenge what a 53-foot power catamaran can offer.
While the YOT 53 will not be on display at FLIBS, our team will be available to discuss the model, specifications and ownership opportunities.
