Project Elysium is a 79-footer (24-meter) with the stability of twin hulls and swift speeds for covering a lot of ground. From the designers at Incat Crowther, the yacht, seeing delivery in 2023, is practical and purposeful, yet still fun.
With a lot of client input, Project Elysium is fulfilling a customer’s wish for a way to cruise with varying numbers of friends and family. Furthermore, the custom catamaran megayacht is fulfilling different ways of living on the water. For instance, the two hulls have two staterooms each. With the main-deck master, they accommodate 12 people. But, other leisure spaces are for fewer people. Take the main aft deck and interior dining areas, for example. The former accommodates eight, while the latter accommodates six. Also, while she has a main-deck galley (below), Project Elysium additionally has an aft-deck barbecue. The aft deck further has multiple refrigerators and a sink, for full prep convenience. You can even say the lifting swim platform assists with dinner, because the owner intends to use it for fishing as well as climbing into and out of the sea.
With a 25’3” (7.7-meter) beam, Project Elysium has a generous stance, thanks to her twin aluminum hulls. (The superstructure is composite.) That catamaran design should translate to comfort and stability while underway—at noteworthy speeds, too. The owner wanted the yacht capable of swift travel. Therefore, anticipate a 21-knot cruising speed and equally impressive 29-knot top end. Twin Scania engines will deliver the power, while being mindful of fuel consumption. Also significant, a Twin Disc Express Positioning system will allow station keeping, plus aid docking and slow-speed maneuvering. Finally, Humphree active interceptors (trim tabs) should reduce roll and slamming.
Project Elysium, carrying two tenders—one 18’5” (5.6 meters), the other 11’9” (3.6 meters)—is under contract with a builder. The shipyard, though, remains confidential.
