SAIL Magazine Review: Kinetic 54

Charles Doane from SAIL Magazine joined us in Chesapeake Bay a few months back to give the 54 a spin. Read the full article via the link below to get Charles take on the KC54.


“Luxury high-end cruising cats with high-performance DNA have occupied an established if somewhat rarified niche in the sailboat market ever since Peter Johnstone launched the first Gunboat in South Africa just over two decades ago. Kinetic Catamarans is an interesting new player in this field. An American company also building boats in South Africa, it launched its first model, a 62-footer, in 2019. The company’s latest offering, the slightly smaller Kinetic 54, designed to appeal to active sailing couples, is a highly attractive, thoughtfully designed craft that snagged a nod from SAIL as Best Large Multihull in our 2022 Best Boats compilation.” - Charles J. Doane, SAIL Magazine

“Construction is at the cutting edge of lightweight strength—all carbon everything.” - Charles J. Doane, SAIL Magazine

“Finish quality throughout is superb.” - Charles J. Doane, SAIL Magazine

“At a price point this high, you expect to get a superb vessel, and the Kinetic 54 certainly delivers! It is as well thought out as any luxury performance cat on the market and has several unique features that should make it attractive to buyers looking for boats of this type.” - Charles J. Doane, SAIL Magazine
