53 Feet. 40% More Space. A New Vision of Power Catamaran Cruising.

YOT Power Catamarans will unveil the all-new YOT53 in a world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026.

As the brand's first inboard-powered model, the YOT53 marks a major milestone in YOT's development and opens a new chapter in the premium power catamaran segment.

Developed by CATANAGROUP, the French boatbuilder and catamaran specialist with more than 40 years of experience, the YOT53 benefits from the group's unique expertise in designing open cruising platforms that combine generous living spaces, exceptional onboard comfort and outstanding seakeeping capabilities.

Designed around the signature "Experience the Luxury of Space", the YOT53 places space at the heart of the onboard experience. Thanks to her twin-hull architecture, she offers up to 40% more living space than comparable yachts in her category.

CATANAGROUP'S EXPERTISE APPLIED TO MOTOR YACHTING

For more than four decades, CATANAGROUP has been developing catamarans renowned for their generous living spaces, ease of movement on board, comfort and effortless handling.

Through its three brands – CATANA, BALI and YOT Power Catamarans – the group has established itself as one of the leading players in the cruising multihull market. Today, CATANAGROUP operates five production facilities in France, Portugal and Tunisia, employs more than 1,400 people and produces several hundred boats each year for customers in over 70 countries worldwide.

Building on more than 40 years of innovation and unique expertise in designing multihulls renowned for their habitability, ergonomics, safety and cruising pleasure, CATANAGROUP is now bringing all its know-how to a new generation of power catamarans.

Designed by J&J Design, YOT catamarans are built in CATANAGROUP's state-of-the-art facility in Aveiro, Portugal.

The YOT53 has been developed for owners seeking exceptional comfort, refined styling and reliability for extended coastal cruising with family and friends.

This new model of more than 50 feet offers one of the most generous living spaces in her category, premium contemporary design and the pleasure of stable, quiet and comfortable cruising.

INNOVATIVE LUXURY DESIGN FOR MORE SPACE AND COMFORT AT SEA

Every area of the YOT53 fully exploits the potential of a power catamaran through a unique approach to space and a luxurious atmosphere created by carefully selected materials and finishes.

Forward, the owner's suite spans the full beam of the yacht and benefits from direct access to a private terrace. Typically reserved for yachts exceeding 100 feet, this configuration offers a level of privacy and comfort rarely found on a 53-foot yacht.

Another signature feature is the forward U-shaped galley. This unique layout, uncommon in power catamarans of this size, completely frees the aft entertaining areas and promotes exceptionally fluid circulation throughout the yacht.

Aft, a large tilting transom door fully opens the cockpit to the sea, creating one continuous living area between the interior and exterior spaces. Opening side platforms provide spacious terraces at water level, designed for the enjoyment of everyone on board.

At the top of the yacht, the multifunctional rooftop combines the helm station, dining area, outdoor galley, sun pads and panoramic 360-degree views, offering one of the largest outdoor living areas in her category.

RELIABILITY, AUTONOMY AND EXCEPTIONAL STABILITY FOR FAMILY CRUISING

The YOT53 has been designed for owners seeking the comfort of a waterfront residence while retaining the qualities required for extended cruising.

Thanks to her catamaran architecture, she benefits from remarkable natural stability both underway and at anchor. The twin-hull platform significantly reduces motion and contributes to the comfort of everyone on board, even when sea conditions become more challenging.

Powered by twin Yanmar 440 hp or 550 hp engines, the YOT53 offers an ideal cruising speed of approximately 15 to 18 knots while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency for her category.

Available in three- and four-cabin layouts, she has been designed to comfortably accommodate family and friends for extended stays on board. Generous storage capacity, significant provisioning capabilities and excellent autonomy make longer cruising adventures easy and enjoyable.

Every aspect of circulation on board has been designed to simplify everyday life for owners and guests alike. Each space encourages conviviality while preserving privacy.

Stable, reliable, comfortable and easy to handle, the YOT53 introduces a new approach to motor yachting where the onboard experience, cruising pleasure and quality of life take precedence.

Alongside the new YOT53, visitors will also have the opportunity to discover the YOT36 and YOT41.

Both models will be showcased with new upholstery selections and several enhancements designed to enrich the onboard experience and further strengthen the brand's contemporary identity.
