Hemisphere is a 44.2-metre Pendennis-built sailing catamaran, the largest in the world, delivered in 2011 and refitted in 2023. She sleeps twelve across five cabins and offers a proposition no monohull can match: the vast deck area, shallow draft and rock-steady stability of a catamaran at superyacht scale. For guests who want sailing without heel, and access to anchorages deeper-draft yachts cannot reach, she is genuinely one of a kind.

On board

Her wide beam translates into unusually generous interior and deck volume for a sailing yacht, with a bright, beach-house feel to her five cabins and salon. A crew of ten run both the sailing and the hospitality, and the layout keeps guests close to the water throughout. She is a certified PADI dive centre, making her a natural for diving-focused charters, and her stability makes her especially comfortable for families and less experienced sailors.

On deck & in the water

On deck, a jacuzzi, expansive trampolines and lounging areas exploit her catamaran footprint, and she carries a custom sixteen-metre sportfishing boat for game fishing and excursions, a rare toy at this size. Her shallow draft lets her tuck into bays and reef anchorages across the Med, Caribbean and Indian Ocean, and full dive and watersports facilities support active itineraries. She turns the calm of a multihull into a luxury in its own right.

Why she books

Hemisphere books because she is unique, the largest sailing catamaran afloat, combining stability, space and shallow-draft access with real diving credentials. Families, diving groups and guests who want gentle sailing without the heel of a monohull seek her out, and her worldwide reach widens her appeal. Her singular status and comfortable ride keep her steadily requested across every ground she cruises.
