Proudly Made in Australia, Lightwave Yachts has produced close to 100 hand crafted catamarans, since establishing in 1996. Over the 28 years, Lightwave Catamarans have received Industry Recognition for superior performance, quality, and attention to detail. Our commitment to continuous refinement through every vessel crafted in our yards, is just one reason for Lightwave's impeccable reputation.

The Lightwave 46 caters for the adventurous sailor with exotic locations in mind. Sleek eye-catching appeal, relatively fine sea-kindly hulls, ample payload provision, centralised weight dispersion, excellent beam to length ratio, and impressive bridgedeck clearance are critical design factors to the proven success of the Lightwave 46 Sailing Catamaran.

- Core design principles that make the Lightwave 46 a safe performing, responsive sailing catamaran include the excellent length to beam ratio of 11.5:1, centralized weight dispersion, high bridgedeck clearance and long overhangs fore and aft.

- Using the monocoque construction method binding all furniture and components of the boat into one, enables the vessel to be very light at 7500kg lightship whilst also remaining very stiff and strong.

- The Lightwave 46 features one of the best helm stations you can find on a sailing catamaran of this size. You have essential protection from the elements whilst maintaining excellent vision of all 4 corners of the vessel.

- The Lightwave 46 is set up for short-handed sailing, with a refined deck layout and sailing systems. All lines are hidden under serviceable covers resulting in very minimal tripping hazards.

- A very generous sized cockpit can transform from a large shaded alfresco area to lounge and dine in, into an indoor space with complete weather protection.
The double deck design provides windows that run through the entire length of the hull providing lots of natural light and vision out.

- Functional and practical design with systems easily accessed and finishes that stand the test of time (external engines hatches; easy access to electrical & plumbing systems; curvaceous edges - no sharp edges to harm you when moving around in a swell; two-pack paint finish throughout interior with solid timber features - important for tropical cruising where humidity brings moisture concerns inside the boat).

- Walk through sterns with generous boarding platforms for extra safety and easier access when getting on & off the boat from the dinghy.
