Introducing the Seaquest 46: Racing Pedigree Meets Electric Innovation

In a landmark collaboration, Carkeek Design Partners and Eaton Marine have fused three decades of award-winning craftsmanship with Grand Prix–proven hull expertise to create the Seaquest 46. Shaun Carkeek’s signature slender entries and sharp aft sections—honed in America’s Cup, Volvo Ocean Race and Grand Prix circuits—deliver blistering performance and effortless planing. With guidance from Matthias Krenz of Yacht Design MK, these high-performance hull forms were expertly translated into a sleek catamaran platform, propelling the future of multihull sailing.

Mike Eaton’s precision-driven build process, now centered in the UAE’s world-class marine hub, ensures every panel, bulkhead and finish is engineered to perfection.

The result is a semi–carbon-fiber, vacuum-infused sandwich hull (epoxy, vinylester and high-density foam core) that maximizes resin-to-fibre ratios for exceptional strength-to-weight. Acute weight management throughout the structure means you enjoy race-boat acceleration without sacrificing cruising comfort.

And now, with fully integrated electric propulsion, the Seaquest 46 steps into the future:

• Twin 15.1 kW motors for silent, zero-emission motoring
• On-the-move regeneration at 7 knots to sustain hotel loads
• 3 kW solar array delivering up to 73 nm of self-powered range
• Hybrid backup generator (optional) for unlimited blue-water confidence

This synergy of elite design, cutting-edge materials and progressive technology yields a catamaran that not only outpaces its peers but also treads lightly on the planet—proving you never have to choose between speed, style or sustainability.

When you demand a hull that’s as tough as it is light, the SQ 46 delivers

You shouldn’t have to choose between strength, seakeeping comfort, and efficiency. Most cruising cats force you into heavy builds or delicate race boats—never both.

SQ46 is your guide to a better hull:

• Vacuum-infused E-Glass sandwich with high-density foam core for maximum stiffness at minimal weight
• Multidirectional E-Glass reinforcement below the waterline to withstand grounding and impact
• Carbon-fiber cross-bridge frames tying both hulls together for rock-solid torsional stability
• Foam-cored bulkheads seamlessly linking port and starboard for flawless load distribution
• Exterior structural frames in gelcoat for UV protection, ease of maintenance, and a sleek finish

This advanced construction means you slice through chop with confidence, track straighter, and carry more payload—yet still enjoy race-boat agility and silent passages.

Imagine charting new horizons without worrying about hull fatigue or drag—just you, the water, and the freedom to go further.

When you’re chasing the breeze, you need sail handling that’s effortless—so you stay focused on the horizon, not tangled lines.

Many high-performance rigs demand constant crew movement, complicated trimming, and more hands than you have on board.

The SQ46 makes sailing simple and precise:

• Self-tacking jib & double-ended mainsheet at each helm—trim the mainsail from either station without leaving the wheel
• All control lines led aft along the coachroof straight to your fingertips at the helms—no deck runs, no scrambling
• Composite standing rigging throughout for strength, corrosion resistance, and silent operation

Available Performance Options

• Carbon-fiber mast for performance enhancement
• Electric mainsheet traveler & furling systems for one-button reefing and sail changes
• Detachable or permanent electric furler for Code Zero and asymmetric spinnakers

Adjust sail shape or drop your asymmetrical spinnaker from the helm in seconds—so you spend less time wrestling sheets and more time enjoying every knot of performance.

When you crave boundless cruising without noise, fumes or fuel stops, the Seaquest 46’s propulsion system delivers.

Conventional performance catamarans rely on noisy generators, necessitate frequent refueling stops, and demand intricate maintenance.

Seaquest Yachts powers your freedom with:

• Twin 15.1 kW electric motors (≈ 40 hp each) for whisper-quiet, zero-emission motoring
• Fully electric or hybrid option, complete with a traditional diesel generator for unlimited range
• Hydrogeneration under sail, converting your boat’s motion into battery charge
• Solar augmentation via the coach-roof array to extend your time off-grid
• Standard 80 nm range on a single charge—enough to cross the bay or cruise coastal passages without firing up the engine

Imagine gliding into a remote anchorage in complete silence, then waking to batteries recharged by solar power during the day and continuous hydrogeneration under sail—free to explore farther, stay longer, and leave no trace behind

When you step aboard, you should feel secure, unencumbered, and free to enjoy every moment—never dodging lines or stumbling over gear.

Cluttered hardware and raised hatches on traditional cruising decks force you to dodge obstacles and keep your walkway clear.

Seaquest Yachts clears the way for seamless sailing with:

• Vacuum-infused E-Glass sandwich and high-density foam core on all flat decks for rock-solid lightness
• Extra E-Glass reinforcement in high-load areas to withstand winch loads and foot traffic
• Non-skid walkways everywhere, with optional upgrades to premium synthetic surfaces
• Flush hatches that lie level with the deck—no more tripping hazards
• All running rigging led through the coachroof, keeping lines out of your way and your decks open

Foredeck Leisure Zone

• A broad, flat lounging area perfect for sunbathing or alfresco gatherings
• Two spacious trampolines divided by an integrated bowsprit that houses anchor and chain
• Generous deck lockers and forepeak storage for sails, fenders, water toys and more

Stroll from cockpit to bow barefoot across unobstructed decks—open space to soak up the sun, feel the breeze, and embrace the freedom of the sea.

When you want to relax and entertain without compromise, the Seaquest 46’s cockpit becomes your sanctuary.

Many cockpit layouts leave you exposed to spray, scrambling for shade, or wrestling with wet gear.

Seaquest Yachts brings effortless comfort and functionality:

• Spacious, open-plan cockpit with built-in seating and wraparound protection on three sides—optional enclosures keep wind and spray at bay
• Extended coachroof delivering generous sunshade so you stay cool at anchor or under sail
• Integrated port-side freshwater shower for rinsing off salt, sand and gear before you step below
• Modular entertainment options—choose from an ice maker, fridge or built-in BBQ to elevate every passage and party

Host friends with chilled drinks under shaded seating, rinse off saltwater with a flick of the tap, then fire up the grill—all from the comfort of your cockpit.

When you need complete command—whether aloft or sheltered—the Seaquest 46 never leaves you wishing for better visibility or harder-to-reach controls.

Conventional yacht layouts compel you to trade panoramic flybridge sightlines for sheltered cockpit stations—and scatter your instruments so you’re constantly moving to access every control.

The SQ46 puts you firmly in control:

• Dual Spectra steering stations at the upper helm and inside the cockpit—pick the view that suits your mood or conditions
• Fully replicated displays & motor controls at both helms—trim sails, monitor battery state, engage regen or motoring all without leaving your station

From the sheltered cockpit, you can trim to windward in rough seas, then step up to the flybridge for a panoramic dock approach—all controls replicated at both stations for fingertip precision.

When you seek a living space that’s as open and inviting as the ocean beyond, the Seaquest 46 saloon delivers.

Too many yacht interiors feel cramped, dark, or disconnected—forcing you to choose between views, comfort or functionality.

The SQ46 brings the saloon to life with:

• Panoramic windows & four-panel sliding doors that fold away to fuse cockpit and saloon into one expansive living area
• Convertible seating that transforms into a king-size berth for overnight passages or extra guests
• Under-seat and raised-sole storage everywhere you need it—keeping gear stowed yet close at hand
• 360° sightlines from every seat so you never miss a moment of the horizon or harbour
• Modular layouts—specify a navigation nook, bar, entertainment center, or extra cabinetry to suit your cruising style

You’ll host friends in a luminous salon that seamlessly opens onto the cockpit; as night falls, you’ll slip into a sumptuous queen-size berth beneath a canopy of stars—your floating home, redefined.

Cook with Confidence—A Galley Engineered for Seamless, Effortless Meal Prep Even Under Sail.

Many yacht galleys force you into cramped corners, juggling pots and pans with nowhere to stash prep or waste.

The SQ 46 turns meal prep into pure pleasure:

• U-shaped layout on the port side gives you full access to every locker and drawer without crossing the cook’s workspace
• Ample storage for provisions, cookware, utensils, and glassware—everything has its place
• Flexible sink options: choose between double or single sink configurations to suit your style of cooking and cleanup
• Outboard cooktop & oven so you can sauté, bake or simmer without heat crowding your workspace
• Generous inboard countertop for prep, plating and serving—no slipping or sliding, even underway
• Integrated refuse chute that drops scraps straight into an under-counter bin—no more carrying waste through the saloon

You’ll prepare a fresh meal with every tool within arm’s reach, feel the sea breeze flowing through your galley, and complete cleanup in seconds—so you swap dish duty for deck time and more moments enjoying the view.

When you retreat below after a day’s adventure, your cabin should feel like a sanctuary—never cramped, stuffy or impersonal.

Traditional yacht cabins often confine you to narrow berths, poor ventilation, and minimal storage—turning rest into a chore instead of a comfort.

The SQ 46 transforms every cabin into a restful haven:

• Flexible layouts: choose the luxurious three-cabin owner’s hull with a full-width stateroom, or the four-cabin mirrored configuration for family and guests.
• Spacious queen berths: forward cabins boast athwartship queens for cozy, rock-steady sleep; aft cabins offer fore-and-aft queens under opening hatch skylights and aft-facing ports.
• Smart storage: each cabin includes a hanging locker plus under-berth drawers—everything stows neatly without stealing floor space.
• Light & air: low-profile hatches above and LED downlights with dedicated reading lamps set the mood, while optional fans or A/C keep your refuge cool.
• Thoughtful details: soft-close hardware, flush flooring transitions, and elegant finishes turn basic cabins into boutique-style retreats.

You’ll wake to a gentle breeze through your hatch, step onto level flooring in a sunlit stateroom, and find everything exactly where you left it—starting each day refreshed and poised for the next horizon.

When you expect sure, sanitary facilities without the usual marine hassles, Seaquest Yachts delivers.

Most yacht heads leave you juggling uncomfortable pumps, foul odours, and full tanks—making a basic convenience feel like a chore.

Seaquest Yachts ensures worry-free sanitation with:

• Each hull houses one main head, thoughtfully designed for privacy, comfort, and easy maintenance.
• Electric or freshwater-flush toilets for a clean, modern experience
• Slotted “deck-through” floors and automatic pumps with manual override for rapid draining and easy cleaning
• Dedicated blackwater tank in each hull, sized for extended cruising
• Optional composting toilets for complete autonomy—and zero blackwater-tank maintenance

Step aboard and discover a head that stays spotless, drains itself automatically, and removes all pump guesswork—so you can focus on your voyage, not your plumbing.
