Why a Rapido Trimaran?

A Different Approach to Ocean Cruising.

Every boat has its strengths. Monos and cats certainly have theirs.

So what happens when you start with three hulls – and engineer the boat around the way sailors actually want to cruise?

Designed by Morrelli & Melvin and built in advanced carbon composites by Triac Composites, a Rapido brings together performance, space, stability and offshore capability in a very different kind of cruising yacht.

Discover what makes a Rapido different – and why it might be right for you.

Step Aboard: Experience the Rapido Difference

Launch our interactive 360° tour of the Rapido 50 to see Rapido’s exceptional visibility (safety) and comfort:

Uncommon Scale: An interior with the openness of a yacht several feet longer, the detail that invariably catches first-time guests off guard.
Panoramic Watch: Step down from the helm for a cuppa without ever losing your 360° view.
Near-Level Sailing: A modest 5–10° platform means that under sail, your cuppa still stays put on the bench.
