Expedition catamaran · Built 2019 · New Zealand
Expedition volume. Shallow-draft freedom.
2B is the same 39.2-metre aluminium catamaran the world first knew as THE BEAST. She now charters as 2B, with THE BEAST retained as the launch identity so readers can still find the award-year record.
Measuring 39 metres with a gross tonnage of 493, she offers the volume of a 50-metre-plus yacht while keeping excellent fuel efficiency and a shallow 2.5-metre draft, ideal for remote South Pacific anchorages. Built for adventure, she is available for private charter in Auckland and beyond.
01 · The sport fisher
A 13-metre sport fisher that travels with her.
2B's custom-built 13-metre luxury sport fisher tender takes on-the-water adventure further. She has twin beds, a full ensuite bathroom, a galley, a bar and sheltered seating, and suits day excursions, sport fishing, diving, surfing or simply exploring further afield.
The sport fisher is carried on deck and launched by 10-tonne cranes, so wherever 2B goes, her guests can carry on the adventure in comfort, whether that is a day of watersports or a sunset cruise.
02 · Ashore
An amphibious tender for beach landings.
A 9.3-metre custom amphibious tender makes beach drop-offs easy, and a 4.5-metre Zodiac completes the tender fleet.
2B comes with all the gear and crew support needed for diving, fishing and custom itineraries.
03 · On deck
Teppanyaki on the flybridge.
Extensive deck space gives three options for outdoor dining, and the flybridge has a teppanyaki restaurant-style barbecue.
Starlink satellite internet coverage is on board, and her 5,000-nautical-mile range allows extensive cruising of the Pacific.
04 · Fishing and diving
Built for serious exploration.
The yacht's charter team describes 2B as an expedition yacht like no other: bold, purposeful and equipped for serious exploration. Her intelligent hull design gives remarkable stability, making her comfortable even in more demanding cruising conditions.
On board are extensive fishing equipment and a full dive shop with a compressor and twelve sets of scuba equipment, for private fishing charters, dive excursions and luxury day trips.
05 · Who she suits
For charters that begin where the usual circuit ends.
2B suits families, groups of friends and longer charters in remote regions: guests who want serious fishing, diving and beach landings from one stable, high-volume platform rather than a marina-to-marina programme.
With 12 guests in five cabins and nine crew, she works for a multi-generation family or two or three couples travelling together, and her range and dive shop make a longer South Pacific itinerary realistic.
06 · The rate explained
USD 215,000 per week, confirmed for each charter.
The yacht's charter team confirmed 2B's weekly charter rate as USD 215,000 for up to 12 guests on 2 November 2026. The rate is quoted in US dollars.
Blue Ocean Club confirms the full terms for your dates with the yacht's charter team before anything is signed, including what the weekly fee covers, the running expenses and the itinerary.
