Cape Town based Two Oceans Marine launches HQ2

Du Toit Yacht Design has launched the exciting 75 foot expedition catamaran, the Open Ocean 750 Luxury Expedition Yacht, built by Two Oceans Marine in Cape Town, South Africa. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/141145/image/large-c15e6906be8d4896dc4a017c5283e4a1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/141145">Aptly named Quo Vadis, Open Ocean 750 Expedition Yacht is an impressive 75 foot catamaran, powered by two Cummins 228 kW/305 HP motors. It was custom designed by Du Toit Yacht Design for a seasoned game fisherman, and is stylish and luxurious as well as comfortable and functional. The Open Ocean 750 is essentially the big sister of the successful Open Ocean 630, also designed by Du Toit Yacht Design and built by Two Oceans Marine and launched last year. Designing this impressive expedition catamaran was a project that took 30 months and involved 1750 hours of design work, with three designers involved at various stages in drawing up the interiors, lines, structure and various mechanical details. Although the 750 Expedition Yacht is not designed to sail, but rather to motor for long distances, it has the same elegant lines and styling as the Open Ocean 630. Quo Vadis is the mother ship for Two Oceans 48 Sport Fisher Game Fishing Boat, and with her powerful engines and large fuel capacity, she is capable of towing this craft on lengthy game fishing expeditions, and has been robustly designed and built for transatlantic voyages. Accommodation is luxurious by expedition yacht standards, and at the same time comfortable and highly practical. The catamaran has ample accommodation and sleeps up to eight guests in four double cabins. Each cabin has its own spacious en-suite bathroom, with a heads and a shower. In addition, there are two crew cabins, accommodating three crew. The Open Ocean 750 Luxury Expedition Yacht is certainly the perfect yacht for a game fishing expedition in comfort and style. Certainly, one could not ask for more perfect accommodation or transport for a serious but luxurious fishing trip away with the boys.
