About LANIAKEA
The Next Generation of Luxury Power Catamarans
Introduction
LANIAKEA is created as a modern interpretation of what a luxury power catamaran can be. It brings together advanced marine engineering, full carbon fiber construction, and a design philosophy that focuses on openness, light, and effortless movement. From the first sketch to the final surface finish, the goal was to create a vessel that feels precise, quiet, efficient, and unmistakably contemporary. LANIAKEA is not only engineered to perform. It is engineered to redefine long range cruising through comfort, stability, and intelligent design.
As a multihull with an eighty eight foot length, it offers significantly more usable space than a monohull of similar size. The wide stance creates natural stability, reduces roll, and transforms every area into a calm and enjoyable environment. Even at anchor, the vessel maintains a steady platform that turns long stays in quiet bays into a smooth and relaxing experience.
Freedom through Shallow Draft
One of the defining characteristics of LANIAKEA is its extremely shallow draft. With a draft of only about zero point six meters, the yacht can access locations that larger vessels cannot reach. Clear lagoons, hidden beaches, and narrow channels become available without complex planning or compromise. This freedom changes the nature of the journey. It lets you anchor where the water turns turquoise. It brings you closer to the shoreline and makes previously inaccessible places feel like a natural part of the route.
The shallow draft does not come at the cost of volume or comfort. The multihull layout allows spacious cabins, wide lounge areas, and generous outdoor zones that remain fully usable even in shallow coastal regions. This blend of accessibility and comfort is a core part of what makes LANIAKEA unique.
Design by Chulhun Park
The overall aesthetic and spatial concept are shaped by internationally recognized yacht designer Chulhun Park. His work combines modern sculptural forms with refined proportions and functional clarity. The result is a vessel that feels elegant without being fragile and powerful without appearing heavy.
The exterior lines follow a smooth, organic flow that highlights the carbon structure without unnecessary ornamentation. Large glass surfaces open the interior to the surrounding seascape, creating a constant visual link between indoor and outdoor areas. Sunlight becomes part of the architecture, and every section of the yacht feels connected to the environment.
Inside, the design philosophy focuses on calm tones, layered textures, and a sense of airiness. The layout can be tailored to the owner's lifestyle, from private family use to charter oriented configurations. Materials, furniture, and lighting are chosen to support long range comfort and a natural feeling of space. The overall impression is refined and contemporary, yet warm enough to feel like a personal retreat on the water.
Carbon Fiber Engineering
LANIAKEA is built entirely from carbon fiber, a material known for exceptional rigidity and extremely low weight. Carbon fiber construction allows significant reductions in structural mass while increasing strength and durability. These advantages translate into real performance benefits. Faster acceleration. Better fuel efficiency. Improved stability. Reduced vibration. Lower noise levels. More responsive handling in coastal and offshore conditions.
Unlike traditional fiberglass vessels, a carbon fiber yacht maintains efficiency over long distances and heavy use. The material does not fatigue in the same way, and it remains stable even under significant load. This makes LANIAKEA ideal for owners who want reliability, range, and consistent performance without the need for excessive ballast or reinforcements.
Every structural component is engineered to make the yacht lighter, stronger, and smarter. The result is a vessel that moves through the water with minimal resistance and provides a remarkably smooth ride.
Living Experience
LANIAKEA places equal importance on how the yacht feels day to day. Wide decks, panoramic views, and large outdoor lounges create a relaxing environment during long stays at sea. The connection between interior and exterior is designed to be seamless. Sliding glass panels, open sightlines, and generous glazing make the interior feel expansive and connected to the horizon.
The multihull design gives each living area natural privacy, with quiet separation between the owner's suite, guest cabins, and crew quarters. The stability of the platform reduces motion fatigue during extended voyages. Even at higher speeds, the vessel maintains a composed character that supports comfortable long range cruising.
Lighting is planned to shape mood throughout the day. Soft indirect light complements natural sunlight and creates calm interior atmospheres. Materials are selected for durability and comfort in a marine environment, ensuring that the yacht remains inviting through all seasons and destinations.
Performance and Range
LANIAKEA is designed for confident offshore passages. Its lightweight structure reduces fuel consumption and extends range, allowing long journeys between refueling stops. The hull form is optimized for efficiency across a wide speed spectrum. Whether cruising slowly through shallow areas or traveling faster across open water, the vessel remains stable and predictable.
Noise levels are minimized through careful engineering. The carbon fiber hull absorbs less resonance, and the multihull layout separates mechanical systems from guest spaces. The result is a quiet experience that enhances the feeling of calm on board.
A New Generation of Catamaran
LANIAKEA embodies a shift in modern yacht building. It represents a move toward lighter structures, smarter engineering, and purposeful design. It brings together the advantages of carbon fiber, the stability of a multihull, and the elegance of a sculptural exterior.
This is not a vessel built only for speed or only for luxury. It is a yacht created to support long days on the water, extended travel, private exploration, and a lifestyle centered around the ocean. The intention is clear. To offer more freedom. More comfort. More efficiency. More space. And a more meaningful connection to the places you explore.
LANIAKEA is not just a yacht. It is a complete vision of what the future of luxury multihull cruising can be.
