Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing launch 850E Power Catamaran

Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing, one of the few large custom catamaran manufacturers in the world, have launched the Two Oceans 850E Power Catamaran in Cape Town, South Africa. The Two Oceans 850E is a custom designed power catamaran, and comes from the drawing boards of Du Toit Yacht Design.Photo: Dale StaplesThe Two Oceans 850E is designed with epoxy E-glass with a PVC foam core and carbon fibre for local support and reinforcement structures. Her owner had specific requirements for the custom vessel which have been reflected in her design, including wider hulls to accommodate transverse berths and larger staterooms below deck. Du Toit Yacht Design created the catamarans lines to be elegant and styling, accentuated by blue LED underwater lights. Her design focuses on giving an interior-exterior feel, whilst keeping all the comforts and luxuries. This was achieved by using Ralph Lauren fabrics on her exterior sunbeds and cushions, and by continuing her teak decks into her interior.  Her teak floors are complemented by the two-tone design of her furniture, which features white panels and a solid walnut insert.The interior of the Two Oceans 850E features a spacious galley on the main deck, designed to facilitate a social cooking experience, where guests can watch their favourite meal be prepared from the cockpit or bar area. Her galley also has ample storage and freezer space, designed to last several months out at sea.Forward of the galley is a lounge and relaxation area with a large flat screen TV and entertainment system. To the port forward side is her navigation station and to the starboard, a space for desk work. Her aft cockpit has been designed as the main living and dining area on board, with a large walnut table, which can seat 10 guests. She also has a spacious flybridge with an upper lounge area, a dining table, a bar and a Jacuzzi. The Two Oceans 850E can sleep up-to eight guests across five staterooms, including one owner's staterooms, and two doubles with en suite bathrooms. She also has two forward crew cabins capable of sleeping up-to four crew members.Her expansive decks can store her water toys, including a 5-metre custom RIB, a 6.1-metre RIB and two Jet Skis. She also has a large hydraulic crane to facilitate easy launching of the tenders and toys.Photo: Sean Todd The Two Oceans 850E is powered by twin Cummins 610 horsepower engines to provide an economical cruising speed of 10 knots for long distance voyages, giving her a 3,500 nautical mile range.
