Is it possible that the Portofino 52 is the "BEST CATAMARAN IN THE WORLD" relative to the features that are included? Is Portofino RAISING THE BAR in the standards of the yacht construction industry? We share FIFTY UNIQUE and AMAZING features of the Portofino 52!

Our dream boat — a Leopard 50 catamaran — was destroyed in a fire.
What came next changed everything.

Instead of buying another production catamaran, we wrote a brutally honest list of what a real long-term liveaboard cruising boat actually needs, based on decades of offshore sailing, expedition experience, and full-time life aboard.

And we discovered something confronting:

👉 That boat didn’t exist.

So we did something most people never do.
We designed and built it from scratch.

In partnership with the engineering-driven team at Portofino Catamarans, we created the Portofino 52 — an aluminium, expedition-grade, high-performance cruising catamaran designed around safety, redundancy, serviceability, and real offshore living, not marketing brochures.

In this video, we walk through every major feature of the Portofino 52 — including innovations that are completely unique to Portofino, and others that no production catamaran offers all at once.

⚓ Key Features Covered in This Video

• Aluminium expedition construction
• Hydraulically controlled lifting centerboards with kick-up safety
• Transom doors for instant sea access and major quality-of-life gains
• Continuous corrosion & stray-current monitoring with live alarms
• Silent exhaust system with remarkable noise reduction
• Dedicated dive room with blow-drying for wet gear
• Lithium battery fire isolation chamber
• Triple-redundant steering — big-ship logic without big-ship cost
• Automatic fuel polishing system
• Shallow draft, true beachability & storm protection
• Watertight bulkheads, buoyancy voids & extreme system redundancy
• Full standing-height engine rooms (no yacht yoga)
• Dual helm stations including full inside control
• Highly efficient DC power generation & air-conditioning
• Built-in workshop, crane lifting points & engine removal hatches

Individually clever — together, these features radically reduce risk.

The Big Question:
Is the Portofino 52 raising the bar for the marine industry?
And does any other cruising catamaran truly compare?
