The 2024 “Boat of the Year” is an award winning, eco-friendly cruising yacht, designed from the ground up with electrification in mind. For those seeking “the yacht of the future” with a perfect balance of style, performance, safety and comfort, the future is now…
-
The HH44 is packed with innovation.
Designed from the ground up for electrification and to maximize the solar array, the helms are move aft to free up the coach roof.
Folding transoms enhance safety at sea, and open at anchor to increase living space and provide an easy connection with the water.
Helms rotate in and out for protection, visibility, and an enhanced sailing experience.
Forward window open vertically to increase air flow and interior comfort.
C-shaped daggerboards provide vertical lift and impressive upwind sailing performance.
These are just a few of the innovative ideas being incorporated into this impressive new yacht.

The HH44 features luxury unlike any other 44’ catamaran.
Special attention has been paid to achieving a level of luxury not typically found on a cruising catamaran of this size. Headroom exceeds 2m (6’6”) in the salon and 1.96m (6’4”) in the hulls. Lines are hidden under deck to keep walkways clear, and push button controls adjust the traveler as standard.
Thick and plush 5" outdoor foam cushions surround the cockpit, creating a social and comfortable outdoor space. A clean aft beam, with electric davit winches hidden below and pushbutton mainsheet traveller on the cabin top, creates a safer cockpit with uninterrupted views aft.
Special attention to lighting provides ambiance at dusk and aids vision during night passages.
Four different interior design color combinations are offered and numerous options allow you customize the boat to fit your specific needs. Folding tables turn into passage berths, extra refrigeration space and storage, optional BBQ and dive tank storage aft, washing machine, air-conditioning and more.

As Seahorse magazine stated in their review of the HH44, “HH Catamarans is on a mission to redefine the concept of a luxury performance multihull… from 44ft all the way up to super yacht size. Not reinventing, but defining a new type of luxury performance cat that has not, at least at 44ft, been available in this format.”
No other catamaran of this size can offer the same balance of performance and luxury as the HH44. With massive amounts of carbon fiber throughout the structure, including all load bearing areas, and the use of superior Epoxy resins, the rigidity of this yacht supersedes all competitors in this size range.
The fit and finish quality, the special attention to detail and the superior materials makes the boat safe and enjoyable without gaudy handrails, elevated solar panels or exposed storage racks for toys. Air-conditioning can be run overnight on the batteries alone and batteries can be quickly topped up using the innovative Parallel Electric Hybrids as dual generators.
The swing helms allow for line handling to be conducted from the safety and protection of the coach roof so you are not exposed, and two helms makes docking on either side a breeze.
We invite you to dive in and explore why the HH44-SC is the finest cruising catamaran in its class. This is Yachting Evolved.
“TOP 10 BEST BOATS”
“Of all the boats presented this year, none put sustainable sailing as far in the forefront as HH with its new HH44”
“BOAT OF THE YEAR SPECIAL RECOGNITION”
“GREET THE FUTURE… It has one hull in the water and the other flying rapidly toward tomorrow.” Read here.
“BOAT OF THE YEAR”
“The HH44-SC elevates big catamaran sailing with an innovative package that looks and sails as well as it performs.”
EcoDrive, an Electric/Diesel Parallel Hybrid System
The HH44 was conceived from the ground up to work with a parallel electric/diesel hybrid, an industry leading solar array on the cabin top and hydro-regeneration while sailing.
Our EcoDrive provides all the benefits of an electric boat: silent fume free motoring up to 7kts, instant torque for maneuvering, and hydro-regeneration while sailing; while also providing the reliability of trusty diesel engines as a back up.
For the technology shy, traditional standalone diesel engines with shaft drives are also offered.
“BOAT OF THE YEAR”
“Even as the morning’s fresh breeze abated, the boat continued to perform beyond expectations… I was impressed with how well it tacked, and how well it tracked with only one daggerboard down.”

Clever design for optimized liveability
The angular cabin allows the two large, forward facing windows to open fully from inside the generously sized (187 sq ft or 17.4m2) salon. Ceiling height is over 2m (6’6”) high throughout. Comfort underfoot has been enhanced with optional non-skid EVA foam decking.
Swing helms & pocket seats
Steer the boat from the outboard position with the wind in your hair and increased visibility of your sail plan. A fold down helm seat stows out of the way for everyday living and easily deploys when needed. Rotate the helm(s) inboard and steer from the protection of the three-seat sofa on the aft beam.
Innovative Features Abound
The HH44-SC comes standard with a custom integrated solar array, an electric parallel hybrid with shaft drives, folding transoms, dual swing helm stations, forward opening salon windows, line tunnels and carbon fiber design detailing throughout to create a truly ground breaking yacht.
Built with safety in mind
Carbon and epoxy construction creates the strongest yacht possible without adding weight. All lines run under-deck to create an uncluttered walkway. Stanchions are 900mm tall to keep your loved ones safe. A continuous, unbroken toe rail runs the length of the deck with all hull and deck-joints fused and hidden.
A home away from home
Exceptional craftsmanship and industry leading fit-and-finish is evident throughout, with foam core furniture and exceptional joinery, top of the line fixtures and Bosch electric appliances standard. Cabinet locks are cleverly hidden in the modern design and an optional pocket TV can deploy and spin to face the viewer. Movie night has never been better.
Carefully considered lighting design
Optional RGB rope lighting throughout can be dimmed or change colors depending on your vision needs while night sailing or for setting the mood at anchor.
Choose from four different interior color combinations or mix and match to make it your own:

We recommend a 10-11 foot tender. A 12 foot tender can fit but will be tight. The davits are carbon fiber and have a high load capacity with a dual push button captive reels for ease of operation. We offer Highfield, OC Tenders and ZeroJets in our price list and can ship them with your boat, if requested.

We have two owned and operated state-of-the-art production facilities. One in Xiamen, China and a second in Cebu, Philippines. All future HH44 and HH52 orders will be built in Cebu, which is an excellent cruising ground to start your journey, or we can facilitate delivery (by crew or ship).

The design is similar to sugar scoop transoms found on monohulls. After unlocking them, a single line at each helm winch will lower the transom until it rests the 100% carbon fiber transom horizontally. Simply use the winch to raise them when done. Optional side pocket doors enable easy access on and off the boat and allow you to leave the transoms closed for additional safety and security.

Yes, if you purchase a boat with our innovative EcoDrive, the House Bank is large enough to run the A/C overnight without the need to run a generator. In fact, there is enough power to run the A/C in the master cabin for over three days! Recharging the batteries can be done quickly using the innovative EcoDrive as two 5kW generators.
-
The HH44 has just over 800mm (31.5”) of clearance. This is far more than you see on production cats of a similar size. Our boats are designed and built as serious world cruisers and it requires a healthy clearance to avoid wave slap or slamming. Any boat in a slamming situation is simply not comfortable and our design minimizes this even when the conditions get serious.
-
The LOA can vary with this unique design. With transoms down, the vessel has a LOA of 15.31m (50.23ft). With the transoms folded up, the LOA from davits to Bow Sprit are 14.26m (46.78ft), comfortably fitting into a 15m berth.

The HH44 is truly an innovative boat in a category that has historically been slow to adopt new technology. The electrification we are seeing in other industries is just now being designed into the cruising yachts of the future, and the HH44 hopes to lead by example by designing the boat around the idea of electrification (instead of trying to modify an old design). With an enormous solar array and a battery bank half the size of a P90 Tesla, the HH44 can operate large electrical systems without the need for a generator. Systems like electric propulsion, full boat AC, 48v Winches and a large capacity water maker make cruising on this yacht more comfortable than the competition. If you want to sail around the world in total comfort and security, the HH44 is for you.
