Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing proudly announces the successful launch of the Two Oceans 870 Power Catamaran — an exquisite 87-foot custom-designed luxury power catamaran that exemplifies bespoke yacht design and unparalleled craftsmanship. Created in collaboration with the award-winning Du Toit Yacht Design, this vessel represents a pinnacle of innovation, quality, and functionality.
Named Amavi, the Two Oceans 870 Power Catamaran boasts four lavish levels, setting a new benchmark in large custom catamaran manufacturing. Its sophisticated features include an elegant saloon, a fully equipped galley, luxurious VIP and guest staterooms, and a private owner’s retreat complete with walk-in closets, a coffee station, and exclusive fore and aft cockpits. The expansive flybridge on the upper level offers panoramic views, a stylish bar, and a comfortable lounge area, perfectly balancing privacy with social living.
Launching the Two Oceans 870 Power Catamaran was a monumental achievement, demanding three days of meticulous planning, expert coordination, and technical precision. With the largest beam, air draft, and displacement of any catamaran ever launched and transported on a public road in South Africa, this vessel marks a historic milestone in naval architecture and yacht manufacturing.
To facilitate the move from factory to quayside, Teemane Cranes engineered a bespoke transport rig capable of handling a catamaran exceeding 80 tons. The scale of the operation necessitated the dismantling of port walls and fences to accommodate the vessel’s dimensions. The final lift was expertly executed using two cranes — a 440-ton and a 250-ton unit — in a flawless demonstration of teamwork and precision.
This remarkable feat highlights the seamless collaboration between Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing, Du Toit Yacht Design, Yacht Haulers, Teemane Cranes, and the Transnet National Ports Authority, showcasing the exceptional expertise and dedication that made this historic launch possible.
The Two Oceans 870 Power Catamaran embodies Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing’s unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship. From expansive teak decks to meticulously refined interior finishes, every element has been thoughtfully designed and executed to showcase the pinnacle of South African yacht-building excellence. This vessel not only sets new standards in luxury and performance but also reaffirms Two Oceans Marine’s status as a global leader in the custom catamaran market.
This remarkable vessel continues the long-standing partnership between Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing and Du Toit Yacht Design, who have collaborated on 14 full custom catamarans ranging from 60 to 110 feet, as well as semi-custom projects. Du Toit Yacht Design’s expertise, having designed more catamaran tonnage than any other designer in the Southern Hemisphere, has been instrumental in the success of these projects.
Now launched, the Two Oceans 870 Power Catamaran embarks on its commissioning phase. This process will prepare the vessel for its maiden voyage, after which it will serve as a luxurious holiday home on the water for its owners and guests. Equipped with state-of-the-art water toys, tenders, and a fuel capacity of 11,400 litres, it is designed for long-range cruising and unrivalled comfort.
A comprehensive media release, along with full videos and images, will be issued upon the completion of the commissioning process and photographic shoots.
