VisionF Yachts has launched the second vessel of its E-Cat 80 line, a 23.97-meter all-electric catamaran built in carbon fiber at the company’s shipyard in Tuzla, Istanbul. With its expanded solar panel array—62 panels now generating 24.8 kW per hour—the new model improves on the original with more self-sufficient cruising capabilities and updated creature comforts, including a jacuzzi on the flybridge and a kid-friendly fifth guest cabin.

With a nearly 11-meter beam, the E-Cat 80 offers serious volume, including space for up to 12 guests across five staterooms and a sprawling flybridge with four distinct seating areas. A hydraulic tender garage aft houses up to two tenders or a pair of Jet Skis, while the yacht’s twin 180 kW electric motors and optional generators ensure a range of over 1,000 nautical miles when backup power is needed. Tailored for private ownership or charter service, this second E-Cat 80 continues VisionF’s push toward energy-efficient multihull cruising.

VisionF Yachts has announced that its latest model, the Superfast 46, a 46-foot power catamaran designed for speeds up to 80 knots, will debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September.

The Superfast 46 marks a departure from the Turkish builder’s cruiser models, focusing on high-speed performance with lightweight composite construction. The hull is built using infusion and vacuum bagging techniques with multi-axial carbon fiber materials to reduce weight while maintaining strength.

With a beam of approximately 12 feet and a sub-2-foot draft, this power cat is designed for stability and access to skinny water. Notable features include a carbon fiber spoiler, a custom carbon dashboard and high-gloss gelcoat.

Propulsion comes from a pair of 450 hp Mercury Racing Sportmaster outboards with Mercury’s Active Trim system and Racing Revolution X lower units. The boat also has a VesselView 903 display, 6-inch electric hydraulic jackplate and hydraulic steering. A Mercury Joystick Piloting system is an option.

There are twin 158.5-gallon fuel tanks, providing approximately two hours of run time at high speed. The helm is equipped with a 19-inch Garmin (1623 XSV) display and a Silva 85E compass. Perko pop-up navigation lights are also installed.

Interior seating has a shock-absorbing system designed for comfort during high-speed operation. Safety equipment includes three 2,000 gph bilge pumps and two fire extinguishers. Some options include an anchor and rear camera systems.

Entertainment is handled via a Fusion Apollo audio system with four 6.5-inch speakers, a 10-inch subwoofer and an MS-RA770 stereo unit. The Superfast 46 is part of a lineup, which includes eight other models: the fully-electric VisionF E-Cat 62 and 80, aluminum models in 80-, 82-, 101-, and 120-foot lengths and the flagship VisionF 155.

VisionF Yachts in Turkey has launched its 78-foot flagship, all-aluminum power catamaran dubbed the Vision F82.

In addition to the powercat’s 78-foot-7-inch length overall, the Vision F82 is notable for its nearly 32-foot beam, which helps create wide-open entertainment spaces like the 581-square-foot salon. The builder says there is an option to have the galley adjacent to the salon. Additionally, the yacht’s size allows for a three-stateroom layout with the owner’s stateroom found in the starboard hull, complete with closets and en suite head with shower and his-and-hers sinks. There’s also room for two crew cabins for four people.

Outside spaces also benefit from the yacht’s LOA and beam, including foredeck with sun pad, a sunken lounge with a sofa and a table (shaded by the flybridge overhang). There is also room for a Williams jet tender and a Sea Doo water scooter, which, according to VisionF, can be launched and retrieved via a dedicated crane. The aft deck is set up with a sofa, four chairs, a dining table and another sun pad nearby. This area offers seamless access to the swim platform.

Spanning nearly full beam, the flybridge has a two-seat helm forward and to port. The space is flexible and can be arranged with loose furniture for lounging and catching rays. According to VisionF, “to enhance privacy when docked stern-to in the marina, a screen is positioned between the two support pillars at the back.”

From a performance perspective, the Vision F82 is powered with twin Volvo Penta 1050 IPS diesels paired to pod drives, which reportedly provide a top hop of 16 knots and a 1,600-nautical-mile range. The builder says its “eco package” option uses batteries to help the yacht’s hotel loads run sans a generator for up to 20 hours. “ We provide clients with a yachting experience that is ecologically responsible,” said Ali Tanir, general manager at VisionF Yachts.

Hull No. 1 of the Vision F82 was built on spec and is set up for the American market, while hull No. 2 is going to a European owner. Hull Nos. 3 and 4 are on track for a March and May 2024 completion, respectively, and are available to be customized for interested owners.
