2B is a 39.5 m catamaran built by Profab Central Engineering in 2019, for 12 guests in 5 cabins with 9 crew. Charter from US$185,000 per week in summer (Fiji & Micronesia and French Polynesia); in winter from US$185,000 (New Zealand), plus expenses.
A 39-metre expedition catamaran in dazzle camouflage, formerly The Beast, with a 13-metre sportfishing boat and a beach landing craft, cruising Fiji and New Zealand.
Until recently this catamaran sailed as The Beast, and the grey-and-white camouflage stripes on her hulls still make her impossible to mistake. Now called 2B, she was built by Profab Central Engineering in 2019 to a LOMOcean design, with interiors by Oceania Interiors, and the following year the World Superyacht Awards named her best in her class, among displacement motor yachts of 30 to 39.9 metres and under 499 gross tonnes.
She is an expedition platform before anything else. Her 12-metre beam gives her the living space of a far larger single-hull yacht, and a quoted range of some 7,000 nautical miles lets her reach outer islands without leaning on ports. Her own small fleet travels with her: a 13-metre sportfishing boat, nicknamed Baby Beast, that can take anglers out for a day or overnight, a landing craft that can drive itself up the sand, and a dive centre for the reefs.
Life on board revolves around food and fresh air. The sun deck has a bar and a teppanyaki grill where the chef cooks in front of guests, a sheltered aft deck serves as an outdoor dining room, and several lounges look out over the water. For anyone who cannot switch off completely, there is a proper studio office.
The five cabins sleep twelve: on the main deck, three with king beds, one that switches between king and twin, and a bunk room with four berths that children tend to claim first. Nine crew run the boat.
From May to September she cruises Fiji, French Polynesia and Papua New Guinea; from October to April she is in New Zealand. She is made for keen anglers, divers and families who want a genuine South Pacific adventure. Anyone hoping for a sleek, glamorous yacht to be seen on in a Mediterranean marina is looking at the wrong boat.
