Broker Overview

The 2012 Maine Cat Power Cat 47, 'Audrey Louisa', represents a unique opportunity for a discerning buyer seeking a highly capable and efficient power catamaran. Custom-built for an experienced MIT engineer, this vessel benefits from a meticulous design and construction philosophy focused on redundancy and practicality. Her twin Volvo D3-220 HP engines offer a proven power package, known for reliability and fuel efficiency, making her suitable for extended cruising, from the Great Loop to the Bahamas. The duplexed Simrad and Garmin electronics package, a notable custom feature, provides critical redundancy for offshore passages. Furthermore, the inclusion of a third set of engine controls aft starboard significantly enhances single-handed maneuverability, a practical advantage for any owner. The Maine Cat P-47 platform is recognized for its light-weight composite construction, delivering a superb ride quality and exceptional stability. With three cabins and two heads, including a master stateroom with a king-size berth and two spacious en-suite heads with separate shower stalls, she offers comfortable accommodations that feel much larger than her 47 feet. This vessel is a testament to thoughtful engineering and robust build quality, offering a compelling blend of performance, comfort, and operational simplicity.

Expert Review

The Maine Cat Power Cat 47 is a well-regarded power catamaran, known for its robust composite construction and thoughtful design. This specific 2012 model, 'Audrey Louisa', benefits from its custom build, evident in the duplexed electronics and additional aft controls, which are significant operational advantages. The twin Volvo D3-220 HP engines are a reliable choice, offering a good balance of power and economy for a vessel of this size. Expect excellent sea-keeping characteristics due to the catamaran hull form, providing a stable and comfortable ride in varying conditions. For a buyer, the value proposition here is strong, particularly given the custom features and the proven track record of the Maine Cat brand. During a survey, pay close attention to the condition of the custom electronics installation, ensure all systems are fully operational, and inspect the composite hull for any signs of impact or delamination, though Maine Cats are generally well-built. Comparable alternatives might include other custom-built power cats or production models like the Leopard Powercat series, but few will offer the same level of custom redundancy.

Full Listing Description

Audrey Louisa is a fantastic example of a 47ft Power Catamaran ready for the extended time on the water. This vessel was custom built for a very experienced MIT engineer who duplexed all the electronics including radars- Simrad and Garmin. There is a third set of engine controls starboard aft for convenient single handed docking or mooring pickup. The selling owner has often single handed her.


The Maine Cat P-47's combination of attractive "Down East" classic lines, high quality spacious accommodations, light-weight composite construction, superb ride quality and excellent cruising range, makes her the perfect vessel for just about any occasion. The boat is incredibly fuel efficient. While perfect for weekend getaways or the Great Loop, the P-47 was also designed with ocean waters in mind, perfect for heading for the northern parts of Maine down to the southern parts heading into the Bahamas. 


Her hull design offers a fantastic ride along with all the stability anyone would know and come to love when operating a power catamaran.


The beauty of the P-47 platform is the abundance of space, excellent 360 degree visibility and tons of headroom, making her feel like a much larger vessel. She features the standard two cabin layout, with the Master Stateroom featuring an enormous king size bed. Both cabins have spacious en-suite heads, with electric toilets and separate shower stalls. The saloon settee can easily be converted to a king-size berth, for the occasional additional guests as well as the port side bench seat able to convert to a berth as well. The unique galley configuration has extensive counter space for easy entertaining for anytime and anywhere.
