Single Vessel Detail Example

Expedition, Luxury, Performance and Build Quality define this world class Catamaran. A rare find, built with a specific purpose in mind – to sail the world’s oceans. 

Her designer is award-winning design firm Du Toit Yacht Design who has produced more custom catamaran meters and tonnage than any other yacht designer in the southern hemisphere

This Two Oceans 750 is expertly built in a sandwich construction, using epoxy E-glass with a PVC foam core. She has a fixed keel and spade rudder using laminar flow foil sections that were custom designed by Du Toit Yacht Design. Two Oceans Marine are renowned as industry leaders and specialists in building custom designed luxury catamarans with a build quality and attention to detail that is exemplary. The cost to build a similar spec vessel would be astronomical. 

Arguably the most compelling feature is the enclosed flybridge with 360-degree panoramic views and 360-degree protection from the elements. This gives the helmsman and crew the ability to explore the most remote destinations regardless of the weather patterns. High latitude destinations come to mind along with the traditional tropical cruising itinerary. 

She is currently operated by a full time liveaboard family that have embarked on an adventure of a lifetime. They have sailed through Southern Africa, crossed the South Atlantic and have now spent several seasons exploring the waters of the Caribbean. When asked what they love most about their Yacht their consistent answer is “her ability to sail and sail properly at that” 

Most luxury catamarans in this size range are not built for circumnavigations but rather the charter market and fair-weather sailing. The Two Oceans is built for both and has proved this during her short lifespan on the water. A good example would be the Cape to Rio race in 2014. When 1/3 of the fleet were forced to abandon the race due to heavy weather, She kept course and finished in a total of 28 days at sea and arrived in pristine condition.

This is a yacht of elegance, with beautiful lines and intricate features. The interior has been designed for effortless ocean living as the easily accessible spaces are open and free flowing. HQ² yacht boasts a spacious saloon and galley, with all the comforts one could ask for on a luxury holiday – B&O full sound system, entertainment area in the saloon, with two Vitrifrigo fridges and freezer and Miele appliances such as; an ice-maker, microwave, coffee machine, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer and a Smeg gas oven in the galley area.

Moving out of the saloon into the spacious aft cockpit, one finds plenty of comfortable and stylish custom-made outdoor furniture and a bar area with BBQ and a fridge on teak decks. Interior soles are solid European oak with furniture modules made from stained oak veneers. Du Toit Yacht Design worked very closely with the owner on the design and style paying close attention to detail resulting in a simple yet magnificent interior.

Up a level, on the sheltered fly bridge is where one comfortably pilot’s the yacht, while seated on beautiful Besenzoni chairs using the electric Harken Winches and Spinlock jammers and a comfortable sitting area so family and guests can join the skipper in sailing the boat once under sail or motor.

The Open Ocean 750 Sailing Catamaran has a large tender with 2 x Yamaha 75hp engines on the aft deck behind the aft cockpit and is launched by means of an integrated boom crane. The dingy also provides some privacy from the dock when moored stern to. On the foredeck is a smaller tender and a crane davit to launch her.  There are plenty of lockers and storage space for dive gear, ropes and other toys. Also, in the hulls aft are two Yanmar 4LHA-STP 240hp engines driving two 26” 4-blade Varifold props for fast and efficient steaming, with a starboard bow thruster for easy maneuvering and docking.

Her impressive rig with an air draft of almost 34 metres, and was designed and built by Southern Spars, also of Cape Town. HQ²’s Ullman sail suite includes a mainsail, working jib, screecher, spinnaker and storm jib.

Accommodation down below deck is luxurious, comfortable and versatile. The catamaran has ample accommodation for the family, crew and guests, and could sleep 12 people easily. The port hull occupies the owners’ suite aft, and a guest suite forward, both with lovely en-suite spacious heads and showers with a crew cabin forward of that.

The starboard hull has another guest suite aft and the children’s cabins forward of that, with an upper and lower single berth and further forward is a v-berth that can be converted to a double. Both the guest and children’s cabins have en-suite heads and showers, and there is also a day head for guests.

The vessel boats a massive systems room for easy access to the vessels systems. 

The Open Ocean 750 Sailing Catamaran is a perfect example of how the close collaboration of the boat builder and designer, working with the owner at every step of the project, can create the perfect ocean-going vessel and home. Two Oceans Marine and Du Toit Yacht Design have shown this to be true over and over, and HQ² yacht is a true work of art from the team
