Spotlight on the 403 Power Cat: The Ultimate Yacht for Effortless Getaways And Smart Ownership
The Moorings 4600 Owner Version: The First 4-Cabin Catamaran with a True Owner’s Suite
For yacht owners seeking the perfect combination of a luxurious master suite, high-performance sailing, and seamless indoor-outdoor living—all while maintaining a traditional 4-cabin layout—The Moorings 4600 Owner Version is a true game-changer.
Designed by the award-winning team at Robertson and Caine, this innovative catamaran has earned prestigious accolades, including Cruising World’s Boat of the Year 2025 and SAIL’s Top 10 Best Boats of 2025. These awards recognize its groundbreaking design, intelligent use of space, and superior craftsmanship, cementing its place as a leader in revolutionary catamaran design.
A standout feature of this model is its first-of-its-kind owner’s suite, made possible by reimagining the starboard forepeak. Traditionally an underutilized storage space, Robertson and Caine have transformed it into a full, spacious en-suite bathroom connected to the starboard guest cabin. This allows the owner’s suite to extend deeper into the hull, creating a generously sized private retreat—while preserving the functionality of a 4-cabin layout. Meanwhile, the port forepeak remains available for storage, offering the perfect balance of comfort and practicality.
This first-of-its-kind design sets a new benchmark in the 46-foot catamaran class, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in this size range and leaving competitors floundering in its wake.
Want to know how the Moorings 4600 stacks up against rivals like Bali, Fountaine Pajot, and Lagoon? Here’s a look at what makes this innovative yacht stand out in the crowded world of mid-size cruising catamarans.
A Breakthrough in Catamaran Design: The 4-Cabin Owner’s Version
Catamaran design has evolved significantly over the years—hard to believe there was a time when flybridges weren’t standard! However, despite these advancements, interior layouts have remained largely unchanged. Traditionally, mid-size catamarans have been limited to two main configurations: a charter-friendly 4-cabin layout with identical cabins or a 3-cabin owner’s version that offers a spacious full-hull master suite but sacrifices a guest cabin in the process.
The latest Moorings 4600 owner’s version changes the game, introducing a groundbreaking design that blends the best of both worlds—delivering the luxury of a dedicated owner’s suite without compromising on guest accommodations. This first-of-its-kind layout redefines expectations in the 46-foot category, offering yacht owners an unprecedented level of comfort, privacy, and functionality for both personal and charter use.
The Best of Both Worlds: Luxury And Functionality in the Moorings 4600
- Spacious Four-Cabin Layout
With four generously sized cabins, this catamaran is designed to accommodate families, friends, or even charter guests comfortably. Unlike the traditional 3-cabin owner’s version, which sacrifices a guest cabin for extra owner’s space, the 4600 maintains full guest accommodations while still offering a luxurious owner’s retreat. Compared to the Lagoon 46, which prioritizes symmetrical guest cabins over an expansive owner’s suite, the Moorings 4600 offers a more premium and owner-centric layout, all whilst still keeping it ideal as a charter yacht investment.
- A Dedicated Owner’s Suite: Unmatched Space & Privacy
The owner’s suite, located in the starboard hull, is a true sanctuary at sea. Expanding deeper into the hull than ever before, it features large panoramic windows for natural light, ample storage, including a vanity/ desk perfect for remote work, and a private en-suite head with a spacious walk-in shower. This setup delivers the comfort and privacy of a much larger yacht, setting a new benchmark in catamaran design.
- Smart, Social, and Functional Design
The Moorings 4600 4-cabin version is meticulously designed to maximize both comfort and functionality, ensuring a seamless flow between private and social spaces, both indoors and outside. The expansive salon and galley feature an open-plan layout with panoramic views and modern finishes, creating a bright and inviting living area. The spacious aft cockpit provides a shaded alfresco dining and lounging area, perfect for entertaining guests while enjoying the ocean breeze.
Above, the flybridge offers elevated seating with stunning views with an additional helm station, making it an ideal space for relaxation, socializing, or navigating with complete unobstructed views.
At the bow, a forward lounge area with sunbeds and additional seating serves as a private escape, easily accessible from outside or through the forward watertight galley door. This intelligent design not only enhances onboard comfort but also elevates the overall cruising experience. Unlike Bali’s solid forward deck, which limits the open feel, or Fountaine Pajot’s smaller cockpit areas, the Moorings 4600 excels at providing an airy, open-plan experience that keeps you connected to the sea.
- A Layout Tailored To Your Lifestyle
This innovative 4-cabin owners suite design revolutionizes what’s possible in a yacht of this size, making it ideal for owners who want both a private retreat and enough space to entertain. But that is not where the innovation with the latest 4600 stops. This game-changing catamaran also comes in a 5-cabin, 5-bathroom version, giving you the option to bring even more friends and family along for the ride.
The new Moorings 4600 continues the brand’s legacy of spacious, high-performance cruising catamarans, delivering an unparalleled balance of interior volume, comfort, and exceptional sailing capabilities in its class, with no other mid-sized catamaran on the market offering such a diverse array of innovative, and expertly designed interior layouts tailored to different lifestyles at sea.
- Built for Performance and Ease of Handling
The Moorings 4600 is more than just a luxury catamaran—it is designed for sailors who demand both performance and ease of handling. Featuring twin high-aspect rudders for precise maneuverability, stepped hulls for improved efficiency, and a powerful rig with an overlapping genoa, this catamaran delivers exceptional sailing performance in a variety of wind conditions.
Ease of operation is a defining characteristic of the Moorings 4600, making it an excellent choice for both seasoned sailors and first-time catamaran owners. The flybridge helm station provides 360-degree visibility, enhancing docking and navigation, while electric winches and intuitive sail controls allow for effortless, even single-handed, sailing. With a shallow draft, the 4600 can access remote anchorages that deeper-draft yachts cannot reach, expanding cruising possibilities.
Unlike Bali’s rigid forward deck and heavier design, which can limit performance, or Fountaine Pajot’s offset helms, which may affect handling, the Moorings 4600 achieves the ideal balance of stability, agility, and sailing capability. Whether embarking on long offshore voyages or enjoying a leisurely coastal cruise, this yacht combines advanced engineering with intuitive design, ensuring a smooth, responsive, and exhilarating sailing experience.
