YOT Power Catamarans will unveil a powerful new engine lineup at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival, taking place from 9 to 14 September at Port Canto. Two models, the YOT36 and YOT41 OUT BOARD, will be on display at Stand QML 115 and QML 011, each showcasing the brand’s latest performance leap.

A New Power Era

The biggest news is the introduction of Mercury’s V12 Verado engines to the YOT range. Following the May 2025 launch of the YOT36 with twin 400hp V10s, the brand now offers the Mercury 600hp V12—currently the only V12 outboard on the market. This advanced system integrates: 

  • Two-speed automatic gearbox 
  • Steerable lower unit 
  • Counter-rotating propellers 
  • Joystick control 
  • Skyhook virtual anchoring 
  • Advanced Range Optimisation (ARO) 

The result is a powertrain that enhances control, efficiency and ease of maintenance—with service intervals stretching up to 1,000 hours. Both the YOT36 and YOT41 now deliver speeds of up to 40 knots. 

YOT41: Space and Grace

Measuring 12.57 metres with a 5.82-metre beam, the YOT41 offers generous proportions. It features two en-suite cabins, an aft saloon, and the option of an electric swim platform. The full windscreen design adds a sleek edge to its profile. With the new V12 setup, this power catamaran delivers a smooth yet exhilarating experience. 

YOT36: Compact Thrills

The YOT36 remains the flagship of the range—an agile, sporty platform ideal for relaxed or high-paced coastal adventures. With the new twin V10 configuration, it promises increased range, top-end performance, and hands-on driving fun.
