The Heliotrope Catamaran Range: Why Heliotrope?

Space, Grace and Pace

When Philippe Guenat and naval architect Dr Albert Nazarov created the Heliotrope catamaran concept, the ideas of space, pace, and grace guided the entire design philosophy.

From this deceptively simple framework emerged a range of refined sail and power catamarans that unite advanced construction techniques, high quality, and contemporary lines. This emphasis on just three words has delivered a truly defining moment in yacht design and construction.

Heliotrope

Inspired by pleasurable sailing voyages beneath the warm tropical sun, we called our new range ‘Heliotrope’, an Ancient Greek word that means ‘dedicated to the sun.’

We follow this ethos with our expansive decks and unrestricted views, which provide a place to watch the setting sun sink into the copper sea. In line with this solar theme, our advanced Heliotrope 65 became the first solar-assisted luxury expedition catamaran yacht in the world.

Space

Unlike many high-performance catamarans, which sacrifice comfort for speed, the Heliotrope range is renowned for its adept use of space. Every catamaran incorporates our huge signature flybridge, which is larger than for any comparative category of yacht.

Alongside generous cabins and a spacious galley, we provide plenty of deck space without compromising performance. Finally, for additional security, Heliotrope catamarans sit high in the water, offering all-round visibility and safe maneuvering.
