About Volant Yacht-Volcat 43 Motorkatamaran

Die Volcat 43 ist ein Motorkatamaran, der für gemütliche Freizeittörns auf See konzipiert wurde. Der Rumpf misst 12,95 Meter in der Länge und 6,20 Meter in der Breite. Eine Garage im Inneren des Rumpfes nimmt ein 3 Meter langes Beiboot blickgeschützt auf. Der Zugang erfolgt über eine Tür vom Salon zur Bugplattform, eine Treppe von der Flybridge zur Bugplattform sowie eine Badeleiter am Bug. Eine Sitzgruppe auf der Achterplattform ist zum Meer hin ausgerichtet. Zwei Volvo IPS 600 Antriebe mit Joysticksteuerung treiben die Propeller an und ermöglichen ein ausgewogenes Manövrieren in alle Richtungen.

Thanks to her new generation engine, the Volvo IPS-600, the Volcat 43 provides up to 25% fuel savings compared to other boats, and shows an environmentally friendly structure with up to 39% less fuel emissions and the lowest noise/vibration ratio. Her propellers can be rotated 360 degrees with joystick control therefore provide balanced and easy maneuverability in all directions.
Design Challenge: The hardest part was having a maximum capacity of functionality system and a special garage in a 12 meters motor yacht. Volcat 43 has 2 entrance to saloon both from bow and transom, 2 entrance to fly bridge both bow and transom, having a dingy garage to hide the daily tender boat. All these functions are making volcat 43 very high and keeping her far from the design aesthetic. The hardest part was keep these functions and keeping her beauty in a successfully combined and synthesized project.
To understand her success, it is very important to examine similar lenght power catamarans.
Research: Catamarans are like the hammer of the sea, they are very balanced and have a large area due to their structure. It is aimed to give a solid effect by taking inspiration from the powerful engines/tanks. Functionality and general arrangements are at the top of the requests from Volant Yacht, I started the design with the general arrangements. Afterwards, our client decided the design out of about 5 different designs. After, 3D modeling and engineering studies were started. After the engineering studies were completed, the production started. The models were processed with zero errors on the CNC machine. She is currently under construction now.
Inspiration: Volcat 43 is inspired by next generation vision. Clean white interior style brings futuristic opinion and her exterior is also very solid to remind timeless looking. Her style and the functions are very sensitive combine that the owner and guests having completely top comfortable functionally system in the sea life.
