As the curtains fall on 2025, the marine world basks in the afterglow of yet another year of audacious superyacht design. Serving up an enticing menagerie of space-maximising catamarans, trailblazing sailing technologies, security-centric masterpieces, and futuristic conversions, this year witnessed another stride in the ceaseless march of nautical luxury and innovation.

Leading the line was EkoKat Yachts with its ground-breaking catamaran model. Unveiled at the prestigious 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival, the so-called ‘disruptive’ EkoKat model set itself apart as the world’s ‘first 60-foot superyacht’ despite its modest length of 18.9 metres. Barely contained within this impressive catamaran is the interior volume you’d usually associate with its 30-40-metre cousins. From an expansive flybridge to a solar-room powerhouse supplying a staggering 600 kW to the onboard batteries, the phrase ‘compact luxury’ takes on new meaning.
