oration with established design studio Foschi & Nolletti, the aim
of Overblue Yachts is to set a new standard of living on the water.
With that in mind, this manufacturer designed a yacht that brings
home comfort, easy maintenance, and cruising in all conditions to
the table. Based on the stability and maneuverability of a power
catamaran crossed with the comfort and living footprint of a house-
boat, Overblue is backed by a team with passion for boating and
a practiced eye. This is evident in the yacht’s displacement power
catamaran design, engineered to cut down on hydrodynamic drag

make being on the water less comfortable. Maneuverability is also
increased thanks to the twin hulls that make for higher hydrostatic
drag, which lessens lateral wind sensitivity during maneuvering or
anchoring.
