KC54 — Kinetic Catamarans

The Ultimate 54’ Carbon Cruiser

Discover the KC54

A performance carbon catamaran that can be sailed by a cruising couple. Built for fun fast coastal and offshore cruising in comfort.

“The Kinetic Catamaran KC54 is a new player in the class of what might be called Super Cats, the progenitors of which are notable brands like Gunboat and HH Catamarans. These light, fast craft put a high premium in flat-out performance, but also have the cool, comfortable, contemporary features and amenities of a stylish, forward-thinking cruising boat. They are, in the realm of performance cruisers, at the very cutting edge. “This was the Tesla of sailboats,” Gerry Douglas said. “This boat was built without compromise. They wanted the best in every aspect. Superb.” Douglas’ colleagues agreed and together, they gave the KC54 their Judges’ Special Recognition award.”
“There have been a few different builders striving to make inroads in the high-end performance cruising catamaran market that Gunship first popularized decades ago. Kinetic, a U.S. company operating in South Africa, is a recent contender in this field and made a big splash this past year with its impressive all-carbon Kinetic 54. A slightly scaled-down version of Kinetic’s first offering, a 64ft cat that debuted two years ago, the 54 has all the features buyers now look for in this niche: a modern performance-oriented design with narrow hulls, a high bridgedeck, retractable boards, aggressively lightweight construction, an easy-to-use forward working cockpit and elegant finely finished accommodations.”

KC54 is a modern stylish design that incorporates all of our standard key features and maximizes space and indoor / outdoor living on the water. It can also be configured as a competitive racer.

“The Tesla of Sailboats...This boat was built without compromise. They wanted the best in every aspect. Superb.”

- Gerry Douglas, Cruising World

“My breath was absolutely taken away by this boat; it was spectacular. I think it was the best-built boat in the entire fleet. It’s an all-carbon boat, with a foam core, epoxy resin, all infused - fantastic. The whole boat felt integrated. You didn’t feel like there was a conflict between the forces in terms of accommodation versus performance.”

- Tim Murphy, Cruising World

Performance

Designed for wind speed and above.

“With its carbon rig and laminated sails, including a screecher or A-sail that can be set on a generously long carbon-fixed bowsprit, the boat can exceed wind speed in light conditions and scoots along comfortably at double-digit speeds when the breeze gets up.”
