Vancouver-based shipyard Crescent Custom Yachts has announced that it has begun construction on the first 33.5-metre unit from its new CCY110 multihull yacht series on speculation.
The all-aluminium hulls are already in build at the Canadian yard, with deck fabrication also underway, allowing a future owner to customise the yacht's technical specifications, accommodation and interior finish as construction progresses.
According to the shipyard, the CCY110 has been designed to deliver the volume and amenities of a 45-metre monohull in a sub-500GT, shallow-draught multihull platform. American designer Joseph Lazzara is behind the design of the new model, with engineering developed by Gregory C. Marshall Naval Architects.
Central to the CCY110's design is a 139.4-square-metre beach club, which has been conceived as the yacht's primary social hub. Developed to blend interior and exterior living, the space features a host of amenities including an open-air chef’s kitchen with a teppanyaki grill and a prep galley, an infinity plunge pool, a wellness room and multiple lounge areas, all with direct access to the sea.
“The way owners use their yachts continues to evolve,” explained Lazzara. “We designed the CCY110 around social spaces that bring family and friends together while delivering the comfort, luxury and capability expected of a much larger custom superyacht. For American owners, today’s exchange rate makes building in Canada an even more compelling value proposition. With one U.S. dollar currently purchasing approximately 1.41 Canadian dollars (July 2026), American buyers benefit from significantly greater purchasing power while building a fully custom yacht to North American standards.”
The multihull has been optimised for shallow-water cruising in locations including Florida and the Bahamas, providing access to cruising areas "beyond the reach of many yachts of comparable size", the yard stated.
Gregory C. Marshall, president of Gregory C. Marshall Naval Architects, added: “There is growing demand for yachts that can be built more efficiently without compromising quality or capability. Our engineering objective was to eliminate unnecessary complexity, maximise structural efficiency and develop a platform that delivers exceptional interior volume and long-term operating economy.”
Accommodation on board is across six cabins including a full-beam private master suite, with all other details remaining private.
The project expands the yard's portfolio, while complementing its existing line of custom steel and aluminium superyachts. The Canadian builder currently has a 42-metre and a 45-metre steel and aluminium yacht also under construction.
Principal of Crescent Custom Yachts, Tim Charles, concluded: “The CCY110 represents a significant evolution for Crescent. Building our first hull on spec demonstrates our confidence in the concept while giving an owner the opportunity to acquire a highly customised yacht on an accelerated delivery schedule. With more than 7,100 square feet of living and deck space and over 400 gross tons of volume, it offers the amenities of our 45-metre monohull within a 33.5-metre platform, making it exceptionally well suited for both private ownership and charter operations.”
The shipyard delivered the 36.6-metre yacht Maximus III late last year.
