Crescent Custom Yachts Starts Building a 110-Foot Catamaran on Spec

Crescent Custom Yachts wants to give you a floating canvas with its latest 110-foot cat.

The Canadian yard has just started building the first unit in its new CCY110 series on spec, meaning that the future owner(s) can customize the interior, accommodations, and technical specifications as construction progresses. 

“The CCY110 represents a significant evolution for Crescent,” Crescent principal Tim Charles said in a statement. “Building our first hull on spec demonstrates our confidence in the concept while giving an owner the opportunity to acquire a highly customized yacht on an accelerated delivery schedule.”

Penned by American yacht designer Joe Lazzara and engineered by Gregory C. Marshall, the CCY110 delivers the volume and amenities of a 150-foot monohull as well as the efficiency, stability, and cruising capability of a multihull, according to Crescent. That makes it suited to both private ownership and charter. 

With an interior volume of over 400 GT, the cat offers up more than 7,100 square feet of living and deck space. The generous layout currently comprises six staterooms, including a full-beam primary suite, plus several areas for entertaining. 

“The way owners use their yachts continues to evolve,” Lazzara notes. “We designed the CCY110 around social spaces that bring family and friends together while delivering the comfort, luxury and capability expected of a much larger custom superyacht.”

One superyacht-like feature is the beach club. Spanning 1,500 square feet, the indoor-outdoor space is outfitted with an open-air chef’s kitchen, a plunge pool, a wellness room, multiple lounge areas, and stairs that lead directly to the sea.

The CCY110 is also designed for shallow-water cruising, with lightweight aluminum hulls resulting in a low draft. That means it can explore shallow bays and secluded beaches in places such as Florida and the Bahamas that are typically off limits to many 110-footers. It is also more stable and efficient than many monohulls of comparable size. 

“There is growing demand for yachts that can be built more efficiently without compromising quality or capability,” Marshall explains. “Our engineering objective was to eliminate unnecessary complexity, maximize structural efficiency, and develop a platform that delivers exceptional interior volume and long-term operating economy.”

Hull and deck construction is already underway, meaning delivery will be far quicker than a fully custom build. Another bonus could be the price, with the current exchange rate working in certain buyers’ favor. “With one U.S. dollar currently purchasing approximately 1.41 Canadian dollars, American buyers benefit from significantly greater purchasing power while building a fully custom yacht to North American standards,” adds Marshall.

Construction updates and additional information on the CCY110 will be shared via the Crescent website. The yard will also showcase the project at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show this October.
