Prowler 1500
Prowler 1500
The Prowler 1500 is a semi-displacement power catamaran design, following a more traditional style in comparison to some of the more modern power designs such as the growler series.
The bows have been kept quite square and sharp, and the cabin features large wrap around windows and angular styling. The foredeck runs forward to the front of the bridgedeck providing a wide spacious area for sunbathing, enjoying a glass of champagne or giving storage space for dinghy or other cruising toys.
The layout is open plan and offers a surprising amount of interior space and accommodation due to the Prowler’s wide hulls—significantly wider than that of her Alaskan sisters. This extra width does allow a little more freedom when configuring the layout and combats the ‘stuffy' enclosed feeling that being down in the hull can bring.
The Prowler 1500 is a large displacement hulled cruiser that will sleep 4-86 family or friends comfortably. She has a very large light ‘n airy galley and saloon allowing full-size appliances. The cockpit is also designed for entertaining, cooking, toys, and fishing. The flybridge is generously laid out which could also covert into a premium berth. The upper deck also has wide possibilities for storage or entertaining.
The Prowler 1500 is a large displacement hulled cruiser that will sleep 4-6 family or friends comfortably.

Euro 1480 Bi-Plane
Euro 1480 Bi-Plane
The Euro 1480 Bi-Plane is a new custom design commissioned by a client wanting to think outside the box and utilise the bi-plane rig on a commercial vessel. The concept suits commercial work well due to it's simplicity and the outward situated masts mean that the interior bridgedeck space can be utilised more effectively.
The interior layout of the Euro 1480 Bi-Plane features a large main cabin with ensuite situated forward on the bridgedeck, with a walk-around galley behind leading out to a large cockpit with plenty of seating for guests. Two queen cabins are located down in each hull, with their own toilet and shower and a smaller berth forward.
This layout would suit skippered chartering with crew occupying one cabin and guests in the main cabin, or any desired combination. The bi-plane rig means easy sailing and sail handling with minimal sail controls cluttering the deck space.

Alaskan 52 Power Catamaran by Schionning Designs introduces the Alaskan 52 to have every quality you need for serious long distance live aboard cruising.
The "Trawler" catchword is used on any and every type of vessel trying to project to the buyer a Trawler's solid heavy-duty ability to handle the sea because of its working heritage. Usually they are heavy, slow and purpose designed with huge motors to pull trawl loads, and are not the boat to cruise in. This is like travelling in a semi-trailer instead of a motor home.
In this way we have designed the Alaskan 52 to have every quality you need for serious long distance live aboard cruising. We use the most modern light-weight materials; sophisticated engineering and reliable new advances in technology and equipment to produce this perfectly balanced Power Cat.
