The HOLLD 76 Proves Catamaran Culture Has Shifted

    The HOLLD 76 Proves Catamaran Culture Has Shifted

    HOLLD brings serious Dutch composite engineering to the multihull world with an ambitious 23.3-meter build. Listed with yacht broker Sean McCarter at Northrop and Johnson for €15,000,000, the yacht represents a deliberate movement in how private owners approach long-range ocean travel. The project is currently in advanced construction, with delivery set for spring 2027.

    For decades, large sailing catamarans occupied a predictable functional lane focused primarily on volume and stability. Serious performance sailors stayed with monohulls, accepting steep heels and deep drafts for genuine speed under canvas. Thorne Design handled the naval architecture on this project, pairing it with Dijksman Design exterior lines to alter that balance entirely.

    The HOLLD Architecture of Composite Sailing

    HOLLD Yachts applied more than twenty-five years of superyacht composite experience to the structure. The shipyard constructs the hull, deck, keels, and primary interior furniture using a single-shot vacuum-infusion process. This method cuts overall weight while securing structural rigidity throughout the platform.

    An Axxon carbon mast and boom anchor the sail plan alongside composite rigging and Harken deck hardware. Under the right sea state and wind conditions, the vessel reaches speeds exceeding 25 knots. Three helm stations give the skipper total command, including a sheltered interior station linked to a B&G navigation network designed for shorthanded sailing.

    Living Space Built on a Ten-Meter Beam

    Interior designer Linda Chevallera mapped the living spaces across the generous 10.2-meter beam. The salon pairs Tabu Oak veneers with leather accents and carbon-composite furnishings. Tall glass perimeter windows, opening bulkhead sections, and full-height sliding doors keep the salon connected with the teak-laid aft cockpit.

    The standard layout hosts six to eight guests across three dedicated cabins. The owner suite occupies the forward section of the starboard hull, while the port hull holds a VIP cabin and an adaptable aft stateroom. HOLLD Yachts also offers semi-custom variations that allow up to six cabins for larger families or full crew support.

    Exterior lounges provide multiple private vantage points across the platform. Guests can gather on the deckhouse-roof sun lounge, walk forward to the trampoline, or rest on the private transom sunbeds. A sculpted carbon davit system suspends a netted lounge directly over the wake.

    Offshore endurance drives the technical setup below deck. The yacht features substantial solar arrays, high-density lithium battery banks, and hybrid-ready mechanical propulsion with full system redundancy. The 1.45-meter draft allows simple navigation through shallow shallow bays in places like the Bahamas, bringing blue-water capability into anchorages closed to traditional deep-keel vessels.
