Baltic Yachts is finally diving into the catamaran segment.
The Finnish yard, which has exclusively produced composite monohulls for the past half-century, unveiled its first multihull on Monday. Christened simply the Baltic 107 Catamaran, the 107-footer combines the functionality of a utilitarian expedition vessel with the elegance of a luxury superyacht.
Baltic says the new bluewater sailer “can go almost literally anywhere,” with “excellent sailing performance” in all conditions and a “high degree of autonomy.” Featuring naval architecture by Olivier Racoupeau of Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design, the cat features sleek, streamlined lines and pivoting centerboards that will enable it to cruise shallow waters with ease.
“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,” Baltic sales director Kenneth Nyfelt said in a statement.
The vessel was built to a specific weight to ensure the best performance and handling. It will have notably low energy consumption at anchor and the ability to regenerate electricity under sail via propellers, according to Baltic. The yard didn’t share any details regarding speed or range, but the sail will add a few points to both. All sailing systems will be controlled from the crew areas on the flybridge.
The 107 delivers on the design front, too. The cat will showcase “a quality of finish that is yet to be seen on a multihull,” according to the yard. Penned by L.A.-based designer Jamie Bush, the modern interior pairs a classic palette of warm woods and crisp whites with pops of sporty colors. “It’s about creating a space that’s at once sophisticated, youthful and timeless for our adventurous clients,” Bush explained. Seafarers can also enjoy sweeping, 360-degree views from the salon and generous, whisper-quiet cabins.
The owners, who signed the contract for the yacht in June, reportedly selected Baltic due to its experience in building high-performance superyachts, its expertise in cutting-edge composite, and its pioneering spirit. “Pushing the boundaries of technical sailing innovation is in Baltic Yachts’ core DNA,” adds Baltic EVP Henry Hawkins.
The design and engineering phases of the project are almost complete, with construction scheduled to start later this month. The yacht is due for delivery in summer 2027.
