THIS IS IT: A New Era Of Charter Catamaran
All eyes were on the impressive 142'9" (43.5m) THIS IS IT yacht when it debuted at last year's Monaco Yacht Show, and for good reason. Today, it is the largest motor catamaran available for charter. Through IYC we offer this multi-hulled luxury yacht for charter as an incredible experience that rivals much larger yachts.
Michel Chryssicopoulos, the global managing partner at IYC, introduced the client to Tecnomar, a brand of The Italian Sea Group (TISG). Delivered this year, THIS IS IT, designed inside and out by TISG, showcases a new groundbreaking yacht design with its bold asymmetric lines, a vast 14.5-metre beam, and over 600 square meters of glass windows.
We take a further delve into the yacht for charter and its unique features:
Award-Winning Design
When the renders of THIS IS IT were released, some believed it would remain a concept, but the striking and automotive-inspired design has been brought to life, and the result is better than expected. Most recently, at this year Robb Report Monaco's Best of the Best, THIS IS IT, won the Best Catamaran award. Lateral Naval Architects were responsible for the futuristic exterior.
While inside, the interiors by Mattia Piro and Gian Marco Campanino encompass ultra-modern and luxurious champagne and platinum grey palettes with smooth finishings and precious materials.
Unmatched Volume
One of the most distinctive features of this catamaran, spanning four decks, is it is the largest motor catamaran on the charter market. THIS IS IT boasts a volume and spaciousness of around 750 GT, typically found in 60-metre yachts with just a 43-metre length.
Accommodation is for 12 guests across six ensuite cabins, including a large owner's cabin with a private balcony. Further accommodation hosts the 12 crew, resulting in an exceptional one-to-one crew-to-guest ratio, guaranteeing impeccable service and personalized charter offering.
Connection With The Ocean
The yacht's communal areas benefit from the catamarans' wide beam, resulting in vast spaces for entertaining, dining, and relaxation. Large sliding glass doors open to create a light and airy atmosphere with a fluid transition between the interior and exterior spaces, allowing guests to enjoy both while maintaining a strong connection with the ocean.
The expansive use of glass throughout, including the floor-to-ceiling windows and carefully positioned 3.3-meter high skylights, floods the interior with natural light, further merging the inside and outside. Adding to this testament bringing the outdoors in is the fantastic panoramic terrace with a unique vertical garden spanning two decks.
All The Amenities
The entire yacht embodies the feel of an ultra-modern floating luxury villa, offering a unique experience in premier yachting locations. It is the perfect alternative to land-based options, benefitting from the refreshing and cooler ocean backdrop of the Arabian Gulf or the Mediterranean. THIS IS IT has plenty of options for relaxation onboard.
The upper deck houses a spa with a dedicated treatment area and sauna, ideal for guest relaxation. Meanwhile, on the aft deck, you will find a striking swimming pool straddling both hulls and further opportunities for sunbathing and lounging spots. For playtime, an extendable leisure dock gives plenty of space for an array of watersports onboard, such as Jet skis, wakeboards, paddleboards, Sea bobs, kayaks, sea-scooters, and e-foils.
Multi-Use Space For Groups
Throughout the catamaran, there are various areas for group activities, making it an ideal platform to host a multitude of events. There are several dining space options, including a galley with polarized glass, enabling front-row seats for guests to witness the chef in action. The main saloon bar provides a central point for parties and other celebrations, complete with strategically placed seating and lounging to accommodate larger groups.
Further, outside, there is an additional bar area with perfect spaces for canapes and cocktails as well as sit-down alfresco formal meals. Meanwhile, the additional convertible cabin can be transformed into a games room or an extra space to entertain younger guests.
Efficiency In Exploring
Thanks to its hydrodynamic design, THIS IS IT presents an efficient option with reduced fuel consumption. The catamaran also features innovative gas exhaust treatment technology, reducing nitrogen oxide emissions and bolstering its eco-conscious credentials.
With a cruising speed of 17 knots, the yacht is ideal for cruising Middle Eastern destinations such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and other Mediterranean locations.
THIS IS IT Yacht represents an impressive shift in the market, offering remarkable volumes and amenities. Its spacious volume, luxurious amenities, and striking design make it a highly desirable charter option for clients seeking a unique and unforgettable experience.
