In a market where yacht buyers and investors are increasingly prioritizing sustainability, innovation, and ROI-backed luxury, the patented Trimonoran hull concept is catching serious attention. A hybrid between monohulls and multihulls, this naval innovation offers enhanced stability, fuel efficiency, and design flexibility — making it a perfect candidate for forward-thinking marine investors.

At Enthuzias, we don’t just connect professionals to deals. We unlock access to high-potential investment opportunities and enable seamless transactions—from concept funding to post-build resale through our private marketplace.

Market Insights: Why Trimonoran Is a Game-Changer


The Trimonoran hull is a patented design that combines the maneuverability of monohulls with the space and stability of multihulls. Here’s what makes it stand out:

  • 25% More Volume Than Monohulls: A 15m Trimonoran offers more usable volume without the drag of traditional multihulls.

  • Hybrid-Ready: Built for diesel-electric propulsion or full electric configurations — perfectly aligned with today’s eco-conscious marine trends.

  • Self-Righting and Safer: Unlike most multihulls prone to capsizing, this hull is inherently more stable, ideal for CTVs, tenders, sloops, or even midsize luxury yachts.

  • IP-Protected: Investors benefit from licensing-based revenue (2–4% of vessel project costs), backed by a globally registered hull patent.

  • Modular Design Use: Scalable between 7.5m and 25m formats, adaptable for both workboats and MY/SY applications.  (For longer vessels some more studies are required)

Practical Investment Pathways — From Concept to Monetization


Investing in a prototype or concept yacht may seem risky, but when the model includes resale-ready potential and built-in IP monetization, the story changes.

Here’s how an investor can capitalize:

  1. Seed or Co-Fund the Prototype Build

    • Invest alongside a shipyard or naval designer.

    • Choose between electric/hybrid CTVs, tenders, or 15m leisure yachts.

    • Material: Aluminum, composite  (carbon, GRP, wood core) — lightweight and performance-driven.

  2. License Revenue via Trimonoran IP

    • Gain returns via licensing (2–4%) when other vessels use the design.

    • The license is payable by the vessel buyer at delivery — ensuring security.

  3. Post-Build Flip via Enthuzias Marketplace

    • Enthuzias enables brokers to list the vessel discreetly to verified buyers.

    • High-net-worth asset buyers often look for unique vessels — especially sustainable or limited-edition models.

    • We ensure KYC-verified buyers, commission-protected broker structures, and frictionless sale workflows.

  4. Enthuzias Verified Resale = Investor Exit Plan

    • Even after the investment phase, the vessel can be sold at a premium.

    • Our marketplace has qualified brokers with real buyers — no open listings, no noise.


Compliance & Deal Structuring Tips


  • Use LOIs and MOUs early: Show commitment without over-exposing capital.

  • Use Enthuzias listing protections: All broker submissions are time-stamped and verified.

  • Understand Licensing Clauses: Investors can negotiate shared licensing returns if co-developing with a shipyard.

  • Protect the IP: AnwigemA p.b. retains the hull IP — but licenses it out for revenue; your investor isn’t assuming tech risk, just benefiting from it.


Case Study Opportunity: Build and Flip a 15m Eco-Yacht


Let’s say an investor backs a 15m Trimonoran build:

  • Build Time: 10–12 months with shipyard partners

  • Material: Aluminum (~15,000 kg total projected weight)

  • Engine: Diesel-electric, twin propeller, hybrid setup

  • Resale Value: 25–35% premium over equivalent monohull

  • Buyer Targets: Eco-luxury charter operators, resort tenders, private UHNW owners

The vessel is listed via Enthuzias, matched to pre-qualified buyers, and sold with full broker commission protection. The investor exits with profit — or keeps earning from IP reuse.


Actionable Takeaways for Investors & Brokers


🔹 Investors: This is not just a yacht—it’s a scalable, IP-based business opportunity.

🔹 Brokers: Bring your investor leads to Enthuzias. Submit an LOI and get matched with the build team or other co-investors.

🔹 Shipyards: Want to co-develop? Enthuzias can match you with clients or investors.

🔹 Everyone: Resale is built into the strategy — not an afterthought.

The Trimonoran hull is more than a design — it’s an investment-ready, IP-backed entry into the future of sustainable yachting. Investors who move early benefit from exclusivity, licensing income, and unique resale opportunities. Brokers who understand the deal flow can win at every stage — from matching the investor to flipping the build.
