About the factory and your highest quality yacht build.

European brand and company Ekokat Yacht international with main bases in Montenegro, The Caribbean and The Maldives, has chosen a high-end international factory facility run by shipyard specialists Stawad Yachts International to build its Next Gen and World's 1st 60ft Superyacht. Located immediately adjacent to world leaders in advanced yacht building, such as McConaghy Yachts with their largest international facility, we are just 15 miles from Macau which is less than 1 hour from Hong Kong.

Our neighbours also include many of the world’s leading product, tech and software manufacturers such as BMW, Dell, HP, Intel, IBM, Samsung and Sony.

China’s annual infrastructure spending now surpasses that of the United States and the European Union combined and this location brings multiple benefits and key advantages, such as scale, skilled labour, disciplined craftsmen, international transport connections and lower overheads. Along with the highest level of quality control it was and remains the natural and obvious choice for Ekokat.

Your luxury power catamaran yacht therefore benefits directly from the highest possible level of manufacturing skills and the most cost effective access to quality international parts worldwide. This ultimately drives you to an unprecedented and unbeatable final purchase price and after delivery our service continues with warranty and after sales support from EkoKat's technical division providers, Twisted Marine based out of the United Kingdom.

The Ekokat Voyager 62 is supplied and commissioned with CE A classification.

The CE Yacht Compliance Classification System is the European (CE stands for “Conformité Européenne” in French) dictating the standards for CE Certification for construction and sale of boats. Vessels in one of the categories of controlled products cannot be legally sold in the EU unless they have past the tests to receive the CE Certification. This regulation applies to all yachts for sale and recreational craft from 2.5 to 24 meters. The Ekokat Voyager 62 being 19 metres. CE CLASS A is the highest classification. Yachts that are CE A are designed for large sea voyages (everywhere), in which wind force may exceed 8 on the scale of Beaufort and waves can also exceed a significant height of 4 meters. These yachts are designed largely to be self-sufficient in this rather hostile environment.

The European CE classification system is generally recognised worldwide as being the most comprehensive and rigorous in its testing.

Stawad WaveRider Hull

Ekokat and the Proven WaveRider Hull

The Stawad WaveRider hull series design was sea trialled by the Ekokat team with hull/yacht number 4 in July 2024 (see video above). Hull 6 was launched July this year 2025. WaveRider effortlessly does exactly as its name suggests, with this proven power catamaran efficient hull design series, cutting through, and riding through the highest of seas with precision. The design ensures oncoming water flow is channeled through the tunnel between the 2 hulls, following a trajectory rearwards as efficiently as possible, so as to least impact onto the supporting bridgedeck. Ekokat assumes WaveRider hull numbers 7 onwards from the same and additional new moulds to the same design

As Ekokat is a performance power catamaran capable of speeds of up to 20/21 knots cruise and top speeds of 25/27 knots, this helps reduce slam noise and interference with boat steering and control. It also protects the boat against wear and tear. Ekokat's foredeck (lounge on the bow) and tops of the hulls at the front of the boat, sit 3 metres above the water level. This means it is the perfect boat for cruising in locations and conditions with big waves. With a medium sea state and waves of 1-1.5 metre (4-5ft) in height, guests can happily sit up front and not get wet as well as enjoy a smooth ride.

Furthermore, Ekokat's 'bridgedeck', the horizontal part of the structure that joins the 2 hulls together, is a very generous 1.2 metres (3.6ft), again meaning as little disturbance from water flowing through under it especially at high speeds. Many yacht brand designers sacrifice a high bridgedeck level from the water level, as it means reducing the head height in hull bedrooms. Ekokat of course do not have hull bedrooms so we do no have this issue and can therefore have the boat sit higher out of the water to provide a smoother ride and less chance of getting wet when sat up on the bow!

... and remember EkoKat is full beam so it is even bigger, but still 62ft in length and can be owner operated if desired
