Custom-Built Power Catamaran Flying Ray Engineered for Distance, Built for Performance
Welcome aboard the Flying Ray, a singular, custom-designed power catamaran purpose-built for long-distance offshore travel and commercial utility. Crafted for demanding marine use, this vessel blends rugged construction, high-speed capability, generous passenger capacity, and turn-key readiness—making it a perfect platform for charter ventures, offshore transportation, or private long-range cruising.
Construction & Hull Engineering
The Flying Ray is constructed entirely of Nida-Core composite with fiberglass laminate, ensuring there is zero wood in the structure. This advanced composite architecture delivers exceptional strength-to-weight ratios, outstanding durability, and resistance to rot, swell, or structural fatigue. The design enhances longevity and reliability, even under continual commercial operation.
Her hull is based on a modified V configuration derived from the Cigarette Racing mold, well known for its efficiency in rough seas. This hull form promotes hydrodynamic performance, delivering a stable, smooth ride and excellent fuel economy in both calm and demanding waters.
Dimensions & Capacity
Here are the core stats for the Flying Ray:
• Length overall: 60 feet• Beam: 30 feet• Licensed passenger capacity: up to 110 passengers• Certified for short international crossings
These figures underscore the vessel’s substantial size, expansive deck space, and ability to serve large groups or high-demand commercial routes with ease.
Propulsion & Systems
Powered by twin MAN diesel engines—newly installed and professionally fitted—the Flying Ray delivers reliable, fuel-efficient performance with low operating costs per nautical mile. In addition, she includes a nearly new Phasor diesel generator rated at 8.5 kilowatts, showing just 220 hours, thus assuring dependable onboard electrical power for both operation and guest comfort. Included with the vessel are two spare MAN engines, providing invaluable redundancy and operational security.
Performance Capabilities
The Flying Ray excels in every measure of offshore performance. Her racing-derived hull and diesel propulsion provide outstanding efficiency at cruising speed, responsive handling in a range of sea conditions, and the capability to cover long distances quickly. Whether your mission is cross-border transport, high-speed ferry service, adventure cruising, or practical charter work, this vessel delivers the performance and stability needed for confident operations.
Commercial & Charter Ready
Licensed to carry up to 110 passengers, the Flying Ray is ideally configured for:
• Island ferry service• Dive or snorkeling charters• Corporate or private event hosting• Expedition-style or eco-tour experiences• Sunset cruises and water taxi operations
The combination of high passenger capacity, efficient hull design, and reliable diesel power ensures both profitability and operational readiness for regional or international charter routes.
Turnkey Maintenance & Reliability
Supplied with two spare MAN engines, the vessel offers an immediate buffer against downtime—either for on-board spares or refurbishment. Maintenance has been held to high standards, including regular mechanical servicing, exterior care, generator and electrical checks, and full regulatory compliance. The Flying Ray is delivered truly turn-key, with no additional work required before deployment in commercial or private roles.
Passenger Experience & Layout Flexibility
The layout emphasizes comfort and accessibility for large groups:
• Wide walkways and an open-plan main deck support easy boarding and movement• Upper deck capacity and shaded seating configurations facilitate customization for events, tours, or sightseeing• Forward viewing areas are ideal for wildlife excursions, photography, or relaxation• The deck can be quickly adapted to include a bar, galley, entertainment center, or open event space
Although not styled as a luxury yacht, her generous footprint and versatility make the Flying Ray an excellent candidate for semi-luxury conversion or event-centric fit-outs.
Utility & Adaptability Beyond Tourism
Beyond tourism and charter, the Flying Ray supports a wide range of specialized operations:
• Logistics and cargo transport• Disaster relief and medical evacuation missions• Floating classrooms or research platforms• Marina shuttles or tenders for large yacht events• Flexible private-commercial hybrid conversions
Her efficient hull, reliable engine room, and spacious layout ensure she can transition gracefully into any mission-driven role.
Why the Flying Ray Stands Apart?
Very few vessels in her class offer this blend of attributes:
• High structural integrity and proven durability• Robust diesel propulsion and fresh generator with low hours• Passenger licensing for large-cap mobility• Turn-key readiness with professional maintenance and inventory spares• Flexible, open design adaptable for many commercial or private roles
Whether launching a tourism fleet, expanding a charter operation, or securing a high-capacity offshore transporter, the Flying Ray delivers exceptional operational value and strategic utility.

It’s been a few weeks now and the dust has settled. We had a great experience with the Multihull Company and in particular our broker, Caroline Laviolette. Caroline was happy to share her knowledge of the market and the catamarans we were interested in purchasing. She was patient and thorough as we looked at several boats in SE Florida, helped us narrow our search and eventually purchase a beautiful 2017 Lagoon 42. Many thanks to the team at The Multihull Company!
We had a great experience purchasing our boat with Will Miller as a buyers agent. Purchasing our first large Cat is a daunting experience and Will was able to walk us through the process with ease. Will was very straight forward and constantly gave us honest feedback as well as finding and pointing out details on all the boats that we may not have noticed or thought about.
We had a great experience and would use them again.
I would specifically recommend a buyers agent when purchasing to help weed through a lot of problems and misrepresented boats on the market.
We have had great experiences with the Multihull company. We both sold our old boat through them, and bought our new boat through them. I have to say that Will Miller is top-notch, and Riley was great as our broker for selling our O day 39. when you buy a Salt or Boat through them, I feel like you are not only clients, but you are friends. The lines of communication were always open and we were always informed of everything going on.
Riley, and the entire staff at The Multihull Company, were incredibly helpful and responsive in helping me find and purchase my catamaran. I was a first time purchaser and had many questions about the process and Riley was very responsive in answering those questions. I would recommend The Multihull Company to anyone in the market to purchase or sell their boat.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our client’s trust.
Advice of any kind is valuable only when grounded in hard-won expertise. It too, must be trustworthy. Trust and expertise define the heart and soul of The Multihull Company.
