Panthera Yachts launches Wild 50’ performance catamaran

Panthera Yachts has unveiled the Panthera Wild 50’, a high-performance catamaran designed for charter operators, chase boat duties and private ownership. Announced in Monaco on 16 February 2026, the vessel is said to combine lightweight construction, high speed capability and modular versatility.

Built on more than three decades of marine engineering experience and supported by a fleet of over 650 vessels delivered worldwide, the Wild 50’ targets operators seeking a fast and adaptable platform for commercial and leisure use.

Panthera told PBR that the Panthera Wild 50’ is capable of speeds exceeding 45 knots and offers a range of approximately 400 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 25 knots. The platform is designed to serve charter companies, superyacht support operations and private owners seeking high performance capability.

The vessel features a modular deck layout that can adapt to a variety of charter applications, including Mediterranean day charters, island transfers and superyacht chase boat duties.

Twin helm stations with Joystick Piloting and “Skyhook” digital anchoring, available with the Mercury configuration, are designed to support professional captains in busy operational environments.

The Wild 50’ measures 14.95 metres overall with a 5.90 metre beam and a shallow 0.6 metre draft. Kevlar construction reduces weight while maintaining structural strength, and the twin-hull design supports stability at speed.

Power is provided by four 600hp Mercury V12 outboards, producing a power-to-weight ratio of 66.7 hp per metric tonne. Alternatively, the vessel can be fitted with Yamaha 450 outboards.

Accommodation includes two master cabins, two crew or day cabins, an open-plan salon with galley and around 60m² of living space across two decks.

Optional technologies include lithium battery storage of 80 to 120 kWh, a 4kWp solar array producing up to 15 to 25 kWh daily and an optional hydrofoil system designed to improve fuel efficiency by up to 25%.

The Panthera Wild 50’ is CE Category B certified and available to order, with first deliveries scheduled for Q4 2026.
