This model refines the superstructure of America’s Cup boats into a gentlemen’s fast commuter style reminiscent of 1920s and 30s elegance. It is set to debut in just a few months as a high-speed luxury guest transfer vessel and water sports tender commissioned for a Caribbean private resort.
Currently, two Catalysts are under construction at Lloyd Stevenson Boatbuilders. Each one is entirely custom-built, emphasizing the builder’s capability to handle diverse projects simultaneously. Originally designed as chase boats for Emirates Team New Zealand, Catalysts by Morelli & Melvin are renowned for their high performance and versatility, serving as superyacht tenders and recreational boats with exceptional handling and ride quality.
The Catalyst GT exemplifies this customizability, tailored for high-speed luxury guest transfers and water sports. It features seating for 30 guests and a reinforced bow for beach landings, equipped with deployable beach landing stairs. The 45 ft (13.75 m) vessel is outfitted to superyacht standards with 4 x 300 h.p. Yamaha outboard motors, capable of speeds exceeding 50 knots.
This model showcases Lloyd Stevenson Boatbuilders’ expertise in meeting bespoke requirements, offering custom cabin layouts, premium finishes, and advanced electronics. With its unique design inspired by classic commuter boats, the Catalyst GT represents a blend of tradition and cutting-edge maritime technology, poised to set new standards in luxury marine transportation.
