A new chaseboat standard, designed from the outset for the realities of superyacht operations.
The Synthesis S.60 is the result of a direct brief from clients, captains and crew: to design a vessel that offers serious range, weather protection, guest comfort and crew usability.
Synthesis stands for the balance of priorities we believe every superyacht chaseboat should meet:
Comfort + Capability
Design + Engineering
Form + Function
This 60-foot foil-assisted catamaran was conceived, designed and refined specifically for superyacht support roles.
More than a day-boat adapted for offshore utility, the Synthesis project blends guest comfort and crew-ready capability into a single intelligent package.
What makes it different?
The S.60 draws from real-world experience, America’s Cup chaseboat héritage and more than 40 years of custom boatbuilding to deliver a platform that works for owners, guests, captains and crew alike.
This is a vessel for extended guest transfers, autonomous excursions and multi-role operations, designed to stand alone or support the mothership during a superyacht season.

The S.60 is built to order by Lloyd Stevenson Boatbuilders in New Zealand, drawing on extensive America’s Cup support experience and uncompromising custom builds.
Each project is individually specified, engineered and finished to meet the operational brief.
