Dutch shipyard Holld will make its official debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025 with the launch of its Holld 74 flagship carbon multihull.
Holld, based in Zwartsluis, has been established to deliver bespoke, semi-custom multihulls.
The shipyard has partnered with carbon composite company Compromiss to construct its craft using a Leica iCON iCS50 robotic construction sensor for accuracy throughout the build process.
The Leica system fixes positions in the workshop, registers datum lines in the moulds and digitally orients the hull.
Every frame, bulkhead and surface is defined in three dimensions and checked against the digital model.

“This technology allows us to digitally position the Holld 74 and future models, laying out reference lines in the moulds and mapping hull positions with supreme precision,” said a spokesperson from the yard.
“What once took hours of manual setup now happens in minutes, captured with millimetre-level accuracy.”
The spokesperson added: “Every frame, bulkhead and surface is defined in three dimensions and checked against the digital model.
“Any misalignments are caught and corrected instantly, preventing cumulative errors that could affect performance or styling.
“This digital-first approach brings immediate benefits: faster mould checks, cleaner line integration and a digital twin that remains throughout assembly.”
Pleasure catamarans
The shipyard has been set up by Guido Achtelik and Mo Ouass, both former managers in the superyacht world, with the goal of applying technologies and processes typical of 50-meter boats to pleasure catamarans.
“We didn’t want to build another mass-produced multihull,” explained Guido.
“We decided to redevelop the category from the ground up, using carbon and epoxy infusion, digital construction processes and a maniacal attention to precision, durability and performance, with finishes worthy of a superyacht.”
The Holld 74 is a 22.5 meters long catamaran with a beam of 10.20 meters, a draft of 1.45 metres and a displacement of 23.95 tons empty and 30 tons fully loaded.
Structural lightness
The structure is made of carbon fibre infused with epoxy resin for structural lightness, torsional rigidity and durability.
In addition, the shipyard has used a modular approach for the Holld 74 allowing interior and exterior layouts to be adapted to the owner’s needs.
Features of the catamaran include a continuous deck between the interior salon and the cockpit, the latter protected by a hard-top.
Three command stations are incorporated for maximum ergonomics and safety during ocean navigation: two exterior and one interior.
Propulsion is via twin 150hp Yanmar engines.
The first delivery of the Holld 74 is scheduled for 2026.
