Design philosophy & key features
The Superyacht Catamaran That Redefines the 40-Metre Class
AXIOM 40 is not just a catamaran. It’s a reimagination of what a 40-meter yacht can be.
With a bold beam of 13.4 meters and a revolutionary layout, this power catamaran offers the volumes, features, and lifestyle of a 60-meter monohull, while maintaining the unmatched efficiency, stability, and shallow draft advantages of a multihull.

Signature Features:
A Beach Club Like No Other — Over 120 sqm of Seamless Seaside Living
A hydraulic platform hosts a 10-meter tender and lowers flush to sea level for easy access and water interaction.
The beach club is formed by:
Interior sliding doors from the aft hulls
Fold-down sea terraces
VIP cabins with balconies that extend directly into the beach club
A transparent-bottom infinity pool on the main deck above filters natural light into the beach club, while a waterfall feature elegantly conceals the central tunnel between the hulls.

Three Glass-Edged Infinity Pools
Main Deck Aft: A show-stopping infinity pool with transparent walls and floor
Owner’s Forward Terrace: Private glass pool with panoramic views and complete privacy
Sundeck Aft: Elevated pool with a bar and sun loungers for panoramic relaxation

Diesel-Electric Propulsion
AXIOM 40 is powered by a diesel-electric system, offering numerous advantages:
Maximized hull space: No traditional engine room aft, allowing for full-width beach club and flexible layouts
Superior comfort: Reduced vibration, less noise, smoother cruising
Efficiency & sustainability: Optimized fuel use, ideal for hybrid upgrades or future energy solutions
Redundancy and control: Multiple smaller gensets ensure reliability and precise power management

AXIOM 40 represents a leap forward in yacht design, combining form and function with visionary features rarely seen even in yachts twice her size.
She is not just innovative, she is liberating.
A floating sanctuary. A beach club on every deck. A layout tailored for both high end private ownership and premium charter operation. All wrapped in a striking, sculptural design that dares to do things differently.

AXIOM 40 features the largest, most immersive beach club ever conceived in a 40-meter yacht.
Comparison with other 40m yachts:
Monohulls: In most 40-meter monohulls, beach clubs are often 25–40 sqm
at best, due to the aft engine room and single-hull volume constraints.
Catamarans: Most 40m catamarans prioritize deck space and cabins but rarely dedicate this much connected, openable space at water level. The use of sliding doors, fold-down terraces, and a hydraulic tender platform that doubles as lounge area is rare, and the integration with VIP balconies is unprecedented.
Unique selling points of AXIOM 40’s beach club:
~120 sqm total, including:
Central area connected to both hulls
Fold-down terraces and balconies from VIP suites
Hydraulic platform (multi-functional)
Natural light from the transparent-bottom pool above
Full-height openings on both sides
Seamless transition from tender deck to luxury lounging
