By now, the boating world at large is aware that power catamarans<\/a> have found an ever-growing fan base; they\u2019re not just a trend. SilverYachts is looking to further cement the multihull\u2019s position by bringing new owners into the fold with its latest project: the SilverCat 22M. This 70-foot power catamaran is an owner-operator vessel that will join two other SilverCat models\u2014the nearly 118-foot 36M and the 78-foot 24M\u2014as the line\u2019s new entry-level yacht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its aluminum construction, the 22M is lightweight yet sturdy. Powered with twin 1,000 hp Volvo Penta D13 diesels, the builder reports a top speed of 20 knots; reported cruising speed is 17 knots. the powercat’s draft is just under 4 feet, making this yacht Bahamas-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also Bahamas-friendly is the SilverCat 22M\u2019s optional hydraulic swim platform. From here, guests have easy access to the water for a dip or they can launch a Williams DieselJet 415 tender<\/a> into the water. Forward in the cockpit is forward-facing bench seating for at least four and a dining table with space for at least six free-standing chairs beneath an overhang. Farther forward and to port, there is a day head and belowdecks crew access; to starboard, there is a wet bar and stairs leading to the flybridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upper deck offers more opportunities to enjoy alfresco living. Aft, there are four sofas arranged in a U-shaped formation, and they\u2019re accompanied by two coffee tables; however, this furniture can be arranged however an owner desires. Owners can also opt for a retractable awning aft to cover this lounging space when the sun gets high in the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forward, there is a dining table for 10, space for at least two more modular chairs to port and a wet bar to starboard. The upper helm station is positioned forward and to port, as well. Above, there is a retractable sunroof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main deck\u2019s interior offers a similar experience but enclosed: Dining for 10 is to port and a lounge with loose-furniture arrangements is to starboard. Here, the helm station is forward and to starboard. Guests can also lounge on the foredeck, where there is a forward-facing, U-shaped settee that\u2019s flanked by sun pads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accommodations and the galley are belowdecks. For starters, the galley and an en suite guest stateroom are in the portside hull, with another day-head abaft the stairs, too. The master and another en suite guest stateroom are in the starboard hull. Owners will have a king berth, a vanity and his-and-hers sinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exterior design is by Espen \u00d8ino International, while Tillber Design of Sweden handled the 22M\u2019s interior design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
