An interior that feels like a weekend cottage
If "this is huge!" is the common reaction to the PE45 interior, then "this is palatial!" will be the reaction to the new PE55 power catamaran. A full 20' x14' saloon and galley rivals many home living rooms. Whether your plans include cocktail parties or quiet time alone, the PE55's living accommodation will impress even the most experienced cruisers. If there is any downside at all, it is only that you will be the most popular yacht in the marina or anchorage.
The PE55 layout continues to utilize our trademark center hallway design which leads directly forward to the full beam owner's stateroom. You will enjoy avoiding the cumbersome up and down steps associated with the classic raised pilot house designs. With this unique layout you will enjoy increased safety at sea as well as a high level of convenience that comes from keeping the main living daily areas all on the same level.
A commanding helm and sky-lounge
Back inside, the raised "sky-lounge" to port and adjacent the helm, will be a great additional place to relax, read or entertain and still have easy communication with other parts of the boat including the helm and pilothouse area while underway. It cannot be understated how grand a difference an additional space can be to privacy and livability aboard for family and guests alike. People say it will become one of their favorite parts of the yacht.
The professional quality trawler style helm is safely separated in order to keep controls and electronics away from well meaning guests or younger family members. This is a smart design that still retains open access to the overall living area. No more days of enduring isolation in the pilot house away from friends and family – did we mention the immediate access to the side deck and rear upper sun-deck and fly bridge? A grand trawler design indeed.
Private hull areas and easy mechanical access
Both the owner and guests will appreciate the private staterooms close at hand in the spacious hulls, each with en suite heads. Spacious engine rooms and easy movement to all areas of the boat are as consistent to the PE55 power catamaran as they are in the PE45 and PE65. If either of the standard hull staterooms configurations is not desired, a variety of options can be designed into these areas – maybe an office, laundry and hobby area or efficient work-shop. These yachts are designed to reflect the way you live and your creativity is the only limit!
Out back and Up top
Safely protected from a following sea, you will enjoy many uses for the massive rear cockpit. A full 22.5' wide, this enjoyable area includes a dedicated seating and entertainment area centered aft with easy and direct access to the lower dual swim platforms to each side. Fish, relax or entertain the day away with envious views and full overhead protection from the elements.
A huge dedicated fly bridge with a full electronics suite is standard top-side of the yacht There is plenty of room to entertain on this sky-deck or just enjoy the views. Unprecedented deck space is available immediately to the aft of the fly bridge for dingys, day-boats, kayaks and water-toys in order to get a closer look at those destinations you have in mind. A standard electronic crane is at hand to safety launch and retrieve.
Hull forms
Many people are curious about the innovative Z-Hulls. With Z-Hulls on your power catamaran, you are at the forefront in the evolution of marine boating science. Z-Hulls are now commercially accepted hull designs. This innovation is simply a superior solution for dramatic increased load capacity as well as all the performance and economy benefits this improved hull ratio delivers via extended waterlines. Millions of miles on commercial power catamaran ferries and transports around the world have proven and solidified these designs into the world of marine science and performance. They will certainly be a conversation starter that you can be proud of as well as contribute to your wallet in the form of lower fuel bills for your yacht.
