Catalyst V2

Written by

The Catalyst V2 is based on the same proven hull design that makes the Catalyst such a standout, delivering an exceptional combination of speed, turning ability, load-carrying capacity, and all-weather performance.

Based on extensive testing across a wide range of inshore and offshore conditions, both commercially and recreationally, Lloyd Stevenson Boatbuilders (LSB) made a few key refinements. The most obvious is the addition of a vertical bow, which has allowed for a more pronounced vee in the bow, resulting in a softer ride in a seaway. The increased waterline length due to this also improves the vessel’s ability to span longer wave periods. It has also enabled some significant aesthetic updates, giving the boat a more elegant and stylish profile, while allowing for full headroom throughout the extensive bow accommodation areas. This has in turn enabled LSB to create a more refined and stylish vessel.

Staying true to Catalyst’s core philosophy of design flexibility and customisation, every vessel is built to reflect the owner’s vision.

Options include multiple cabin configurations and interior layouts, fold-down hull sides, flybridges, tuna towers, dive platforms, a wide range of power and drive systems, and more.
