IKONIC Yachts, the premier yachting family office advisory firm, is proud to announce the exclusive global listing of THE BEAST, the legendary 39.2-meter expedition power catamaran built by Profab Central Engineering in 2019. A winner of the World Superyacht Award and regarded as one of the most purpose-driven yachts ever built, THE BEAST is now available for sale at $14,500,000.
Commissioned as a custom project by renowned global jeweller and celebrated sea adventurer Sir Michael Hill, THE BEAST was purpose built to push the limits of exploration, sport fishing, and ocean discovery. Designed to explore where few yachts can go, THE BEAST has journeyed through some of the most remote waters in the Pacific, from New Zealand’s Spirits Bay to Fiji’s untouched archipelagos.
As Hill reflected: “We don’t like sitting around, and THE Beast is absolutely designed for adventure. We’ve packed her with all kinds of water equipment and everything for fishing, from freezer rooms to live bait tanks.” (Boat International, August 5, 2021)
THE BEAST has a range of exceptional features designed for adventure and comfort, including a spacious 15-meter aft deck with heavy-duty knuckle cranes for launching multiple tenders, a dynamic positioning system for precise anchoring in remote locations, and a sundeck equipped with a teppanyaki grill and bar. Accommodations include five well-appointed cabins for up to 12 guests, alongside quarters for nine crew members, ensuring luxury and privacy for all aboard. The yacht is fully outfitted with an array of water toys such as kayaks, paddleboards, scuba gear, and comprehensive fishing equipment. Currently, THE BEAST resides in New Zealand and is ready for showings to welcome its next owner for immediate exploration and adventure.
Exclusively listed by IKONIC Yachts, THE BEAST holds a personal connection with Cameron Kirkconnell, Client Advisor at IKONIC Yachts. An award-winning spearfisherman, captain, and expedition planner trusted by many of the world’s leading yacht owners, Kirkconnell worked closely with Sir Michael Hill to design and lead many of THE BEAST’s original adventures. Following Sir Michael’s passing, his family turns to Cameron and IKONIC Yachts to represent this legacy vessel.
“THE BEAST is perfectly suited for owners seeking uncompromised exploration without sacrificing luxury. Its award-winning design and proven performance makes it a standout in the market,” comments Kirkconnell.
“In a world of cookie-cutter superyachts, THE BEAST stands out as a true original. Its camouflage exterior and heavy-duty features hide a refined interior that’s ready for global adventures. There are too many memories to share, but one that stands out is the first glimpse of THE BEAST as we flew in 200 miles from civilization. She was anchored on a sand bottom in crystalline water, surrounded by coral bommies and islets making it a stunning scene. Beyond the outer reef lay virgin waters, where we embarked on the First Descent, the very first dive on a site no one had ever explored. That is where the trips of a lifetime begin, and THE BEAST is the vessel that takes you there. She’s the ultimate spearfishing, fishing, surfing, kiteboarding, and adventure yacht for anyone with an adventurous spirit who dreams of taking her places no one else can reach.”
