NAR Design is capitalizing on all the catamaran offers.

The ​​Turkish studio has unveiled a new 85-foot concept designed to maximize the unique advantages of the multihull platform. The beam, for example, measures nearly 36 feet, while that of an 85-foot monohull spans an average of around 20 feet. That gives the cat an estimated volume of approximately 250 GT, resulting in substantially more onboard space than a motor yacht of the same length. 

Those on board will enjoy roughly 1,830 square feet of interior space and over 3,200 square feet of exterior space, with the open-plan design creating a seamless connection between the two. The layout includes cabins for 11 guests and four crew plus ample lounge and dining space, making the vessel fit for private use or charter.

The owner is the main focus, receiving an entire deck to themselves. It has a dedicated entrance and is positioned away from the other guest accommodation, ensuring privacy in spades. The swanky primary, which includes a lounge and bar, leads to a walk-in wardrobe with a vanity, a large en suite, and a fully enclosed office. That means you can separate work and play.

The interior decor is described as “modern, calm, and refined,” with light surfaces contrasting with darker architectural elements and metallic details. The furniture and storage units have been cleverly integrated into the frame, creating a clean, flowing feel.

That carries across to the exterior, where aggressive styling has been eschewed in favor of long, horizontal lines and subtle curves. Expansive glazing replaces the traditional windows, inviting natural light in and providing ocean views out. The aft is defined by a sprawling beach club with a pool, two fold-down terraces, and a swim platform. Other exterior highlights include a plush bow lounge and a breezy sundeck bar. 

In terms of performance, the concept is envisioned with a cruising speed of approximately 16 knots and a maximum speed of over 20 knots, which NAR says aligns with the expectations for this size and type of vessel. It also appears to have rooftop solar panels that could be used to generate clean energy for the hotel load. The studio also adds that the flexible platform can be customized by future owners, both in terms of layout and technical specifications. That means you have free rein to put your spin on the cat.
