A Historic Launch Operation

Launching this vessel was a significant feat, requiring three days of precise coordination and extensive expertise. With the largest beam, air draft, and displacement of any catamaran ever launched and transported on a public road in South Africa, the Two Oceans 870 Power Catamaran represents a historic achievement in naval architecture and yacht manufacturing.

A custom-designed transport rig, capable of accommodating a catamaran of over 80 tons, was created by Teemane Cranes to move the vessel from the factory to the quayside. The operation required dismantling port walls and fences to manage its size, with two cranes, a 440-ton and a 250-ton unit, completing the final lift. This flawless execution underscores the collaboration and skill of teams from Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing, Du Toit Yacht Design, Yacht Haulers, Teemane Cranes, and the Transnet National Ports Authority.

Craftsmanship Beyond Compare

The Two Oceans 870 Power Catamaran reflects Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing’s unmatched dedication to quality. From expansive decks to exquisite interior finishes, every detail has been carefully crafted to exemplify South African yacht-building excellence, reaffirming the company’s position as a global leader in custom catamaran manufacturing.

Award-winning Collaboration This remarkable vessel continues the long-standing partnership between Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing and Du Toit Yacht Design, who have collaborated on 14 full custom catamarans ranging from 60 to 110 feet, as well as semi-custom projects. Du Toit Yacht Design’s expertise, having designed more catamaran tonnage than any other designer in the Southern Hemisphere, has been instrumental in the success of these projects.
