Baltic Yachts breaks into the multihull sector with 33m catamaran project

Finnish yard Baltic Yachts has announced the sale of its first multihull project, a 32.9-metre bluewater cruising catamaran known as the Baltic 107. Construction is slated to begin this month with delivery scheduled for summer 2027.

"She will be very much an explorer yacht with exceptionally high levels of comfort, beauty and reliability as well as some groundbreaking developments in efficiency,’ said Baltic Yachts sales director Kenneth Nyfelt. "While meeting strict weight targets to optimise her performance and handling, Baltic Yachts will also deliver a quality of finish that is yet to be seen on a multihull." 

The brief also focused on high performance in all seasons – particularly in light winds – and a high degree of autonomy from shoreside support services. The clients have selected Olivier Racoupeau to lead naval architecture, known for his work on the 24.9-metre Tahuna II and 29.7-metre Centurion. 

The model is characterised by pivoting centreboards for easy manoeuvring in shallow waters, low levels of noise throughout the owner’s and guests’ accommodation, and unobstructed 360-degree views from her main saloon. All sailing systems will be controlled from the crew areas on the flybridge.

Interior renderings are undisclosed but designer Jamie Bush has proposed a  "classic palette of warm woods [and] crisp whites with pops of sporty colours. "Building upon our previous successful collaboration with the owners, we’re drawing inspiration from modernist influences and contemporary design to develop a fresh and unique aesthetic for this yacht."

The Baltic 107 will have "notably low" energy consumption at anchor as well as being able to regenerate electricity with her propellers while she is under sail. Key numbers include a 13-metre beam and a draft of 1.7 to five metres.

BOAT International recently stepped on board the world's largest foiling superyacht, Raven, which was delivered by Baltic Yachts last year.
