THE BEAST - PROFAB ENGINEERING FOR SALE

2019 Aluminum Catamaran Superyacht — New Zealand

Crafted in 2019 and lying in New Zealand, this commanding 128-foot aluminum catamaran blends avant‑garde naval architecture with refined interior artistry to create a modern superyacht of rare poise and presence. Designed by LOMOcean Marine Ltd and finished by Oceania Interiors, she delivers the expansive volume and unwavering stability only a true twin‑hull platform can provide, with an impressive 39-foot beam and close to 500 GT of interior space dedicated to effortless living at sea.

Built entirely in aluminum above and below deck, her structure is light, strong, and remarkably quiet underway—an ideal foundation for bluewater cruising. The efficiency of the catamaran form is matched by reliable propulsion from twin Caterpillar inboard diesels, offering a serene 11‑knot cruising speed and up to 13 knots when desired. With approximately 20,870 gallons of fuel and over 10,560 gallons of freshwater capacity, she invites extended passages between remote anchorages with reassuring self‑sufficiency.

Inside, Oceania Interiors has curated a luminous, contemporary environment where panoramic glazing frames ocean horizons and natural textures meet tailored craftsmanship. The main saloon flows between lounge and dining zones with an easy elegance, while sightlines and ceiling heights accentuate the yacht’s exceptional beam. Throughout the accommodations, generous volumes, ample storage, and thoughtful acoustics create a private, residential calm at sea. A professional crew is comfortably housed in five dedicated cabins, ensuring discreet, hotel‑level service on every passage.

Outdoor living is celebrated across multiple decks: broad aft terraces ideal for al fresco dining, sun‑washed lounging areas forward that welcome the breeze at anchor, and an elevated vantage point for navigation and socializing where sea and sky take center stage. Whether hosting a sunset reception or staging a quiet morning launch of toys and tenders, every space is engineered for easy circulation, safety, and effortless enjoyment.

From her purposeful stance to her whisper‑soft ride, this yacht is a study in long‑range capability and luxurious restraint—precisely what discerning owners seek in a contemporary aluminum catamaran. Equally suited to private family expeditions or sophisticated charter programs, she embodies the best of New Zealand yachtbuilding: robust, elegant, and ocean‑ready.

A true luxury catamaran motor yacht and bluewater explorer, she stands out as a long‑range cruiser and modern superyacht with compelling charter yacht potential—an aluminum catamaran conceived for those who measure journeys in horizons rather than miles.

Description

THE BEAST stands as one of the most remarkable expedition superyachts ever built, a 39.2-meter aluminum catamaran delivered in 2019 by Profab Central Engineering and proudly emblematic of New Zealand’s maritime engineering excellence. Flagship of her builder and the realization of Sir Michael Hill’s exacting vision, she fuses innovative design, formidable capability, and refined luxury to set enduring benchmarks in the expedition yacht category.

Her accolades are as substantial as her presence. At the World Superyacht Awards 2020, THE BEAST was named Best Displacement Motor Yacht under 499GT in the 30 m to 39.9 m category. The judges captured her spirit with rare clarity: “At first glance, the grey camouflage paintwork of this vessel suggests a small warship, perhaps a patrol boat, but this disguise — handy in the remote areas that a long-range explorer such as this might visit — was just one element of the owner’s detailed specification. The judges were also impressed with the launching system for the sport fishing boat, with a safe two-point lift provided by a pair of large knuckle-cranes. The way the vessel met the long list of detailed fishing and leisure requirements set out by its owner made this a very attractive yacht.” LOMOcean Marine Ltd, her naval architects, highlight THE BEAST among their most prestigious projects, placing her alongside record-breaking designs such as Earthrace and Ultimate Lady. Industry analysis further underscores her stature: she ranks in the top 30% worldwide by length overall and boasts a volume 226.36 GT above the average for motor yachts in the 35–40 m range.

Conceived to reach far-flung horizons few yachts dare approach, THE BEAST pairs a shallow 2.6 m maximum draught with an extended range of up to 4,000 nautical miles, all underpinned by the inherent stability of a twin-hull catamaran. Each hull houses its own professional engine room with full access, tankage is comprehensive for both fuel and water, and her commercial-grade aluminum construction is engineered for demanding conditions. Certified for operations in an unlimited trading area and honed by deep South Pacific expertise, she is optimized for serious exploration. Tender logistics are exceptional: a central, purpose-designed storage configuration accommodates a 13 m tender to port and 8 m and 5 m tenders to starboard, three tenders in total, streamlining deployment and recovery in remote locales.

Technology and onboard systems are selected for reliability at the edge of the map. Starlink satellite internet delivers global connectivity, advanced navigation systems provide professional-grade situational awareness, and climate control extends throughout all guest and crew areas. Comfort remains unwavering at anchor and underway thanks to zero-speed stabilizers complemented by powerful stabilization in transit.

Her design language is unmistakable. The military-style exterior with grey camouflage paintwork is both purposeful and iconic for operations in remote regions. An intelligent hull form confers remarkable stability in demanding sea states, while volume optimization affords interior space comparable to a 50 m-plus yacht without sacrificing efficiency. Three distinct outdoor dining areas are thoughtfully distributed across the decks, and a large central tender bay is purpose-built for the 13 m sportfisher, ensuring seamless adventure at a moment’s notice.

Accommodation is arranged for versatility and privacy, welcoming up to 12 guests across 5 well-appointed staterooms. On the main deck, three guest cabins with king beds host six guests in comfort. In the starboard hull forward, a guest cabin with two twin bunks accommodates four guests, while aft in the starboard hull a guest cabin with two twin beds sleeps two guests. In total, 12 guests are welcomed overnight in five staterooms. The professional crew of up to 9 enjoy dedicated facilities and a considered layout: the bridge deck houses the captain’s cabin; the port hull offers two crew cabins; the starboard hull provides two crew cabins; and the team benefits from a separate crew mess, galley, and recreation areas. Minimum safe manning varies by distance from safe haven (60 NM, 150 NM, and beyond 150 NM) and meets full STCW-compliant requirements, including Master, Chief Mate, Chief Engineering Officer, and qualified ratings.

Oceania Interiors curated more than 4,000 square feet of luxurious living space with a calm, expedition-ready aesthetic. The sun deck invites long, unhurried days with a bar, a teppanyaki restaurant-style BBQ station, an outdoor dining table for 10, and expansive open deck for lounging. The bridge deck combines purpose and pleasure with an office and salon, a sheltered outdoor dining area, the navigation and helm station, and the captain’s accommodation. On the main deck, three guest staterooms converge with a generous main salon, a formal dining area, a bar, a professional galley, and multiple lounges and communal areas where guests gather between adventures.

Performance is resolutely reliable. Propulsion comes from 2 Caterpillar C32 Acert diesel engines, one per hull in twin engine rooms, each rated at 746 kW / 1,000 HP for a total propulsion output of 1,492 kW, driving 2 propellers. She reaches a maximum speed of 13.0 knots and cruises comfortably at 11.0 knots, with a range of 4,000 nautical miles. Fuel capacity is 79,000 liters, and water capacity is 40,000 liters, supporting extended autonomy off the grid.

Machinery hours reflect diligent operation and care (as of October 2025). The main engines show 4,260 hours port and 4,260 hours starboard. Generator hours are recorded as follows: 125 kW port at 1,501 hours, 125 kW starboard at 1,519 hours, 70 kW port at 11,500 hours, and 70 kW starboard at 11,580 hours.

Her tenders and equipment underscore an expedition pedigree. The “Baby Beast” sportfisher measures 12.82 m by 4.55 m, displaces 19 tonnes, and is impressively self-sufficient with twin beds, an ensuite, a galley, a bar, sheltered seating, and air conditioning; machinery hours show port 2,590 hrs, starboard 2,590 hrs, and generator 2,415 hrs. The amphibious tender, 9.355 m by 3.175 m, enables effortless beach landings and is powered by a Cox outboard with 380 hrs. A 4.5 m rescue boat stands ready as the emergency tender. On the main deck, two powerful PTM 12000 cranes provide safe, redundant handling: the forward crane lifts 11,100 kg at 8 m, 9,000 kg at 10.5 m, and 6,300 kg at 14 m, and the aft crane matches exactly with 11,100 kg at 8 m, 9,000 kg at 10.5 m, and 6,300 kg at 14 m.

Water toys and dive provisions broaden every itinerary. Guests enjoy four single and two double kayaks, two stand-up paddleboards, water skis and a wakeboard, and a Schiller Bike pedal-powered catamaran, alongside an extensive suite of sportfishing equipment. A professional dive shop centers on a Bauer Poseidon Edition 250 compressor with 12 complete scuba sets, 12 tanks, and a comprehensive collection of wetsuits and snorkeling gear to outfit the entire party.

Commissioned by Sir Michael Hill, founder of Michael Hill Jeweller, THE BEAST was conceived to “go anywhere, do anything” while upholding uncompromising standards of luxury and safety. Today she continues to embody his adventurous spirit and exacting pursuit of excellence, carrying guests deeper into the world’s wild places with confidence, comfort, and unmistakable character.
