Four Winns TH36: A Sleek 36-Foot Power Catamaran Built for Family Comfort

Four Winns, the Michigan-based boatbuilder and member of the Beneteau Group, has introduced the TH36, a new power catamaran that measures just under 36 feet. First revealed at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the TH36 combines modern, streamlined styling with wide sightlines, a spacious deck layout and interior accommodations tailored for family cruising and entertaining.

Naval Architecture and Performance

The TH36’s twin hulls were penned by French naval architect Marc Lombard, whose design emphasis is on comfortable, predictable cruising. The catamaran hull form provides inherent stability and efficient waterline behavior, which helps deliver a smooth ride in a variety of sea conditions—making this platform suitable for everything from lakes and rivers to protected coastal waters. Owners can choose from several outboard propulsion packages: twin 300-hp or 350-hp Mercury outboards, or twin 300-hp Yamaha engines. All propulsion options are integrated with a joystick maneuvering system, simplifying close-quarters handling, docking and low-speed control.

Interior Design and Onboard Living

Interior spaces for the TH36 are the work of Italy’s Garroni Design, a studio with extensive experience on projects for brands within the Beneteau Group. The layout focuses on making onboard life easy and enjoyable. The main social area is arranged to promote interaction between the galley, cockpit and seating zones so that cooking, dining and relaxing can happen together without feeling cramped.

The on-deck galley is equipped for serious meal preparation while underway or at anchor, featuring a cooktop, sink and refrigerator. Its placement opens directly onto the aft cockpit dining area, where tables and seating create a comfortable alfresco dining environment. With an advertised deck capacity for up to 15 passengers, the TH36 is designed to accommodate larger day-cruise gatherings while retaining the ability to cruise with a smaller family onboard.

Accommodation and Practical Features

Belowdecks, the TH36 offers two private cabins, each fitted with a full berth and a private head. This configuration emphasizes privacy and convenience for overnight trips, weekends away or extended family cruises. The dual-hull layout typically translates to more usable interior volume and storage compared with a comparable monohull, and the TH36 follows that pattern, delivering comfortable berths and practical spaces for gear and provisions.

Versatility and Intended Use

Four Winns positions the TH36 as a versatile platform intended to satisfy a wide range of boating activities. Whether the focus is watersports, coastal cruising or leisurely days on inland waters, the company says the design prioritizes refinement, comfort and the latest technology to enhance the ownership experience. According to Four Winns Brand Director Nicolas Harvey, the TH36 “offers a smooth ride no matter where it’s taken,” and the brand intends for owners to enjoy both the refinement and the technological advances incorporated into the model.

Market Introduction and Availability

The TH36 made its public debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival and was scheduled to appear in the United States at the 2023 Miami International Boat Show. As a new entry into the growing power-catamaran segment, the TH36 represents Four Winns’ approach to combining open-deck sociability with efficient twin-hull cruising performance and contemporary styling.

For buyers seeking a boat that balances social onboard spaces, private accommodations and ease of handling, the TH36 aims to deliver a modern package that fits weekend cruising, day boating with friends and family, and active watersports days. Its combination of designer hulls, robust outboard drive options and a joystick system makes it an appealing choice for sailors moving into power catamarans or for powerboat owners looking for increased stability and onboard volume.
