MOTORCAT 30 Cruiser - 30

DOUBLE YOUR DREAMS"
MOTORCAT 30- FAMILY CRUISER

Powerboats, with the emphasis on power, can be found everywhere these days, and it is no trick to go fast on the water through the application of brute force. If you dream of cruising swiftly, comfortably, and quietly without draining an oil well every second weekend, then it is time to consider the remarkable new MC 30. A trailerable, 30 ft. Motor Catamaran built by Bond Yachts. Imagine gliding effortlessly across the water at a 14 to 16 knots cruise while consuming only 2 to 4 gallons of fuel per hour! You will also enjoy top speeds of around 27 knots (30 miles/hr) propelled by twin, quiet and efficient, four-stroke outboard motors in the 50 to 70 horsepower range. This is easily achieved due to our superior hull design. Other cruisers, even very expensive diesel-driven rigs, are burning 3-6 times more fuel to achieve similar performances while subjecting their owners to far more noise and pollution. Aboard the MotorCat 30, you will enjoy all the comforts of a waterfront cottage with its massive interior, whether underway, at anchor, or simply pulled up on a remote beach. You can even tow a skier if you wish. Cruise your favorite waterways and lakes, or, run offshore for some serious deep-sea fishing, with this very stable, unsinkable catamaran. The new MC30 promises to set new standards with her award winning hull design and elegant interior. There is no other boat of this size anywhere on the market that is as versatile and comes with more standard features than the MC30. We here at Bond Yachts challenge you to prove us wrong.

Safe, Sea kindly Design

Over the past 35 years, sailing catamarans have achieved a remarkable safety record while racking up hundreds of thousands of ocean sailing miles. This is achieved through superior hull design, positive foam flotation, and the added stability of a wide beam. In todays market, most experienced mariners now prefer multihulls over monohulls because they seldom roll much or heel uncomfortably in rough seas. In addition, modern power catamarans are swift, efficient cruisers that make short work of long ocean passages. Even experiencing hurricane conditions, catamarans will resist capsizing in huge breaking waves better than monohulls, thanks to their inherently high "roll moment of inertia". Indeed, a well designed cat is arguably the safest type of boat afloat. The much tested design of the MC 30 is inspired by proven sailing catamaran principals. We aim to deliver the safest, most comfortable ride possible, while combining respectable speeds and affordable fuel consumption. In contrast, the typical high-speed powered catamaran, or "tunnel hull", uses two big engines to hit 25 knots or better. These costs are dramatically more, both to purchase and to operate, not to mention the upkeep and maintenance associated with larger engines. These ordinary powered cats and tunnel hulls have more in common with conventional, inefficient monohull planing boats, than with the advanced hull designs of today. Please be aware of the added safety factor that comes from having a twin engines. If one motor should fail, the other can still get you home, and with good speed. During initial testing, we had a GPS verified speed of 16 knots on only one 50 hp. engine. When you factor in trailerability, and a very affordable price tag, it soon becomes clear that the MC30 is exceptional values in todays marine marketplace.We invite you to judge for yourself her stable ride, comfort, and efficiency.

Gracious Living on Land or Sea

Careful engineering has led us to a clean hull design, which has been dubbed "semi-displacement" hulls. Thankfully, because of this, the MC30 is not subjected to the heavy pounding loads that most other power boats must endure. This enables us to build strong, yet comparatively light weight structures that can incorporate a truly luxurious cruising interior without becoming over-burdened. Not only that but light construction makes MC 30 truly unsinkable vessel, the only one in the world it its class. From the moment you step on board the MotorCat 30, you will appreciate her as a serious cruising vessel, not some glorified weekend camping shelter. It will be difficult, if not impossible, for you to find any other cruiser under 30 feet that can rival her ambiance or creature comforts. If superior riding comfort and low operating costs are also important to you, we are confident there is no other boat on today's market that can offer a comparable combination of attributes and affordability. With her 14" of draft, you can now explore those shallow waterways and pools normally inaccessible to other boats. Because of the unique, stepped, bow swim platform, beaching is not only a dream anymore, but encouraged! The stepped platform allows for family and pets to safely and easily go ashore without using an unstable and cumbersome dinghy. When its time to head back to the marina, MC30 is one of the biggest, most livable boats around that can fit a standard 30' marina berth due to her 9'6 beam. (2.9meters). An added bonus to this, is the fact that you do not have to store your MotorCat afloat because she trailers and launches so easily. For maximum savings, consider keeping the boat in your own driveway, and staying aboard at RV parks while en-route to exciting and new cruising destinations.

Small Engine Savings

Today's advanced marine engines are more reliable than ever, but also more expensive and complex. So, why invest $20-30 thousand in machinery if you can enjoy similar performance (and superior comfort) from a more efficient boat with just a fraction of the horsepower? The Motor Cat delivers sparkling performance with twin outboards in the 50-100 HP range. She can be docked and maneuvered more easily than any conventional outboard or stern drive boat thanks to twin engine control with the motors nearly 8' apart. (2.6 meters) See the on our web page.

Can a Boat Be a Sound Investment?

Popular wisdom would have it that the only dividends a boat can deliver are the pleasures of ownership. Everything else is money down the drain. The MotorCat might just be the exception that proves the rule. Many economists are convinced that it is just a matter of time before North American retail fuel prices rise to European and world levels. If this happens, there's sure to be a glut of fuel-guzzling pleasure boats on the used market selling at depressed prices. The escalating cost of petrol-chemical products, including fiberglass resins, would be reflected in a sharp rise to all new boat prices. Fuel-efficient pre-owned boats like the MC30 would become rare, sought-after commodities that command top dollar. As with so many other investments, the perceptive investor, who has the foresight to get in at the ground floor, will be in the best position to reap the benefits. Capital gains combined with a world of boating pleasure? The MotorCat 30 offers a wealth of possibilities.
