This 33-footer (along with its 38-foot sister ship) from French builder Jeanneau is designed to get American boaters to take a fresh look at power cats

Power catamarans make up only a single-digit percentage of America’s 11 million power boats, but the benefits of two hulls – roll stability, fuel efficiency, and elbow room on deck – have builders like Jeanneau banking on elevating power cats beyond their offshore angling base into a comfortable day cruisers or overnighters. With a 12'8" beam, this 33-foot multihull features more than 400 square feet of deck area, comparable to a larger 40-foot monohull. The hulls make for vast storage space, or an optional Cabin Package transforms the hulls into a cozy retreat with a mattress, reading lights, natural lighting from hull windows, and head with standing room.

STANDOUT FEATURES

Designers made good use of the gap between hulls with a compact swim platform with integrated transom ladder that extends between the outboards. With standard twin 300-hp Mercury or Yamaha outboard, the TH33 tops out at 45-50 mph.

An optional front cockpit sun awning with removable pole system that fit into deck sockets to tension the fabric blocks up to 97% of UV rays while allowing airflow.
