- This week for walkthrough Wednesday I'd love take you guys through what I consider one of the most radical boats currently being built, the Wave 50 Catamaran.
This boat is built in the yachting capital of Poland, Gdansk. Wave has been building boats for quite sometime under a different manufacturing name, and this is their first new design in 10 years.

Life is too short to own an ugly boat. This, my friends is an UGLY boat.
LOL
Would be cool to live on. But actually sailing it......not so much.
sorry but I can not be the only one who thinks that salon looks tinier than a leopard 50's? It really looks so cramped even with he dining chairs pushed all the way in? just because something is new doesn't mean its better
It screams "fair weather weekend boat".
I heard the forward cockpits like the one on this catamaran are dangerous for ocean crossings because if they fill up with water from rough seas and or weather it can weigh the front of the catamaran down. Does this sound accurate or it’s not at all accurate, how does water escape from that deep forward cockpit. Please share this knowledge with me, thank you. I give this catamaran an B- it was very nice, I like most everything about it, except no solar, that’s a big drawback for me, I like solar boats because it’s very useful, it’s impact on the environment is next to zero, plus electric propulsion. I really need clarity about the forward cockpit concern that I brought up. Thank you, be well.
Forward cockpits always have a drain of some sort, but while it drains it could load the front.
This boat looks more to be for coastal cruising and shorter trips and not ocean crossings.
There is a number of big drains, he crossed the ocean with no problems
This boat is not it. That rig looks like a it will leave you in heaps of shit. The design makes me feel more uncomfortable than being in church with a hangover, or primary school with a boner. Someone truly needs to go to jail for this horrific injustice against design and the whole sailing community for that matter.
They've got a tonne of space for the length but I can't help thinking this will be an utterly terrible sailing yacht. Unless they've sprung for foam cored construction it'll be horrifically heavy and the centre of effort is extremely high.
The raised attachmemt points for the forward sails are also going to make it extremely dangerous/difficult to change them in anything but a flat calm
Great walkthrough Wiley! thanks so much for making the decision to step aboard and create a video for everyone to see. The best part of your channel (for us) is the experience you bring to your videos and the industry. In your experience, do you think the massive forward cockpit and small trampolines would be suitable for crossing oceans??
Thats a great question. They sailed her offshore from the North Sea to the Med, so I think she's capable.
@@catamarancentral "Sailed" or motored? I am trying very hard to picture that bow cutting across the Gulfstream or working upwind. The mainsail looks undersized and there does not seem to be any option for anything other than the installed genoa headsail. How would you even rig any kind of spinnaker with that bow hardtop structure? The boat is beautiful and the design is certainly a conversation starter, but we need to see her in action.
Well, this brand has only build motoryacht, and not a single ocean one, until this "wave". I really wouldn't sail this one in areas where rough seas could even happen...
It's hideous to look at, and a crappy design, for a owner / operator cat anyway..
I'd agree with your regarding owner/operator.
That being said, most people that spend this kind of money on a catamaran don't tend to owner/operate it
Finally a catamaran that doesn't waste a huge amount of space with useless trampolines. Great video Wiley.
the point behind the trampolines is to keep weight off the bows, useless to those that prefer a sluggish hobby horse, with no ability to point in to the wind
I think this is a way better boat than the Bali
@@catamarancentral it is beautiful, but seems impractical, for many reasons already mentioned here. Some great solutions, as the possibility of raising the transom platform to expand the cockpit and the oversized bow lounge. But the cabins are cramped for the size, and the glass heads are less than inviting. Why not just keep the glass on the upper third of the walls? Definitely a charter's boat.
Turns out that together with Sunreef Poland becomes the leader of luxury catamarans market.
There is also moon yachts, as well as a number of luxury monohull builders
@@catamarancentral I didn't know Moon Yachts. Thanks. Keep making your videos. When I win the lottery you'll be the person I'll consult regarding my yacht 😜
Jesus I was sold on a sunreef 60-70 but this thing is absolutely mint. I love it. Def going to have to look at this
Wonder what that last $100 on the price is for!? lol $1,700,100
Cool looking boat. I love the salon, the exterior would probably grow on me over time.
The lines are definitely different
super cool salon, but here is no interior nav station, is that right? are there any specs on cruising speed?
I guess I don't really care about a NAV station, as I don't ever use one. Even when I was doing offshore deliveries I hardly used the nav station
wow thats dope
Definitely an interesting boat.
This is an amazing boat for only 50'! That's insane. It seems like it should be an Aquila 70. The cabins though aren't the greatest, but still very very nice. Tight...but we use the same speak and say 'cozy'
My rant that nobody cares about but me:
I'm assuming you aren't with Denison anymore. They posted a video and were touting their relationship with the Nelk Boys who have been involved in multiple scandals bilking their fans. That makes me especially think Bob Denison is either oblivious to their actions, or just doesn't care because they are popular and bring him business. But how they got that money is important. They are corrupt and under SEC investigation. It makes me think that were I in a position to buy a yacht, it wouldn't be with them. That's my rant. Really nothing to do with you, I think you are an honest and hardworking salesman who deserves his success and you are measured by the company you keep and keeping company with rich but corrupt people and being ok with that because of money and notoriety, sleezebag level of company ownership. If you are still with them, then I still respect that decision as it is your life, but be careful with anyone that is OK associating and promoting a relationship with famous but proven (Coffeezilla and Spencer Cornelia have proven it) corrupt people.
Clif, thanks for watching and for your comment.
I left Denison just over a year ago to start my own business. I enjoyed my 8 years at DYS, but it was time to move on.
A piece of rubbish !
Great video, but have to say that is the ugliest catamaran (from an exterior perspective) I have ever seen! Definitely also wouldn’t want to be on this boat in any kind of biggish seas, pitch pole or flip waiting to happen in my opinion…Nice entertainment spaces but just too much compromise everywhere else.
Fair enough!
Well, I can certainly admire companies that go out on a limb to re-imagine what a catamaran could be. But, honestly, $1.7m for a 50 ft cat? Uhm, for that money, I can get a 60... And, really, look at the freeboard! No mention of dagger situation but I'm betting this thing sails like... a barge...
What 60 can you buy new for $1.7?
@@catamarancentral Ok, well, used... But, my guess about performance I'll still wager on...
Performance is similar like bali or nautitech of this size. Average 7knots with medium strength wind easily done
Keep everything the same, but extend the bows 10 feet further forward, and I'd love this. Just not a fan at all of those dinky tramps. Why bother with them at all at this point... just make it solid like the Bali's... Though I personally prefer big trampolines.
So interesting seeing this pop up out of nowhere, after Wave has been silent for years with just the Sta Maria and Sta Ana out there chartering. This is definitely a departure from their previous designs.
They have plans to build a bigger boat, so we shall see what they come up with.
Great walkthrough, even though a little short.
I see a lot of problems with this design, making it just good for a week-ender, not a blue water cruising cat.
1°) Solar: there's no place to put solar panels, so that makes the generator mandatory and most probably running most of the days the boat is used
2°) how do you handle the main sail? With the removable soft top, you can't walk on the roof to handle (like reef, etc...) the main sail
3°) how do you dock the boat since you can't see any of the corners (because no, you can't even see the front corners, at least from your video)
4°) how do you handle the front sails when you can't access them due to the beak?
All in all, this boat should be only sold as a motor yacht and not a sail boat. And yet, some design flaws make in unpractical even for this.
This boat is for fair weather local use. She’ll pull a few thousand per day as a day charter and entertain her owner every other weekend. Beautiful with unique design; her owner is very lucky.
Her massive genset eliminates the need for solar.
The sails allow the owner to enjoy the romance of sailing he grew up with, but doesn’t make time for now. Batteries could achieve equal silent propulsion, but electricity is sterile and boring. The wind is alive and dangerous; a game the owner has played on the way to success that funded such a daring design.
I also enjoy blue water boats, but this fits a very different niche.
Good day.
I was thinking of the same thing. Great for living in. But how would it perform on the water? With a big front cockpit, to me it looks on the heavy said
1) solars are now installed on the huge roof, giving 4kW peak power
2) you handle it from the sundeck, if needed you can walk on the solid frame (tried - it worked perfectly fine)
3) 360° cameras system
4) you don't need to access the front sails to use them. Everything is handled from the sundeck
I gave a thumbs up on this, solely for the video, Well done. If I could I would give the yacht a thumbs down , It is the most ridicules sailing yacht I have ever seen...
Thanks Garry. Its definitely a unique boat.
Nice to see some different designs, not everyone’s cup of tea I suppose but ideas in design don’t stand still good to see you’re open minded and not just sticking to the status quo .
You can thank my wife for getting me onboard. I was going to keep my mind closed ;)
All that glass is nice but five years from now having to replace and reglaze not so much
I'm not sure what its made out of, but it will be interesting to see how it holds up.
Quite a different design. Looks like they reduced/eliminated aft cockpit; tramps up front, and inside helm station. These changes allow a larger living areas inside and at the front cockpit. Seems like a nice design for long weekends or charter
I agree. Its very well suited for charter.
Unusual design for sure. Amazing how much they fit in 50 feet. Surely it's very heavy and low on performance.
25 tons. Average performance for the boat of this size
Good boat Wiley. These envelope-pushing-designs are what fuel the next generation of innovative breakthroughs. Something new will be learned from this design, and the right team will couple that wisdom to produce our future favorite not yet conceived.
Cheers to you pushing forward. 👊
This is definitely a conversation starter. The port side reminds me of the xquisite x5 with the frosted glass shower areas.
Couple questions? How would one access the boom with the soft top? In the listing it says 4 engines? Did they hybridize the volvos? How would someone access the jib? The hardtop looks slick and pretty curved.
In my opinion as a faceless internet pundit, this yacht would be great as a motor only.
By the way, excellent video as usual. I love seeing what new designs are out there. Thank you for your continued content.
It sure is a conversation starter. Very unique boat.
In all honestly, its probably not the boat for me but there's an ass for ever seat ;)
The quad engines is an error in the listing
Great walkthrough! Really different but looks like the designers really looked at how these boats are being used. The price puts it up into almost the 60+ for range but the ease of a 50'. I'm guessing this was optimised for the Med? Thanks again for showing us! F
Thanks for watching as always. Definitely a different kind of beast.
'only a 50 ft boat'
I may have become a little jaded ;)
@@catamarancentral you are forgiven. :D
Interior color palette is AWESOME!
Very cool looking.
Sure is!
Looks high end and unique! ... BUT where was the quick pano????
They took it away from me when I crossed the border into France ;)
A serious charter boat
I didn't like that they dropped the aft cockpit, but the rest of the boat is amazing.
I agree. ITs like they kind of stopped when they got the cockpit
Nice, maybe for fun, a party right by the shore, spending weekends on the water, just to feel the water, sailing on nearby bays or lakes .... Jesus, imagine this thing on 40 Beaufort in the middle of the ocean or at least 20 miles from the coast ....
Otherwise, it's really not a problem, in the front cockpit you lie down on the couch behind the bar, smell tranpolin, you don't need air conditioning and you still know exactly how high the front waves are.
Wind in the hair for real sailors .....
I don't know any boat I'd like to be in a "40 Beaufort" even if the boat was strapped down on the hard.
Sailed with 30kn of wind, 3m waves in the middle of Mediterranean sea - no problems
The lounging areas are really nice but it's too big to handle alone. Looks great for parties. It's a really nice boat to keep at the dock. LOL.
Great video looking at an interesting take on a catamaran layout. I am, however, utterly gutted as my wife and I were at Cannes but never saw you! 😞 Did see and speak to Toby Hodges from Yachting World. Anyway keep up the good work and wishing you well for 2022.
I'll be there next year. I never miss Cannes.
@@catamarancentral Thanks for getting back to me Wiley, sadly I won't be there this year but maybe I'll catch you somewhere else in the future. Keep well.
not sure about her lines but the entirior is just amazing, how's the finishing work?
The finishing is not bad at all. It was the biggest surprise for me at the show
Nice! Must have had a Sunreef type feel to it?
In some ways yes, but in other ways not quite.
Where's the nav station?
What's that?
Cool boat!!
I thought it was
I love this cat, i wish they made a 37 or 40 ft version
Beggars can’t be choosers
Nothing you like about it?
@@catamarancentral not really, kinda partial to the new 510 and 580 more my style, wave lil to Jetsons for me,
Cool boat
