2016 Alibi 54, USD 1 290 000,-

The Alibi 54 is widely regarded as one of the most exhilarating and innovative performance-cruising catamarans ever built, and Be The First stands as one of the finest examples of the concept. Conceived with offshore racing technology and comfortable bluewater cruising in mind, the Alibi 54 pushed boundaries and defined a new segment of performance-oriented luxury catamarans. Be The First was customized from the keel up in close collaboration with Alibi founder and naval architect Loïc Goepfert; this yacht reflects a rare level of design integrity and hands-on involvement. Be The First is light, fast, innovative, and intelligently laid out with a true owner’s layout paired with the comforts of a modern cruising catamaran—an exceptional balance for those seeking both performance and livability.
Every aspect of the design emphasizes performance through intelligent engineering and balance. Weight distribution was carefully managed, with centralized systems to reduce pitching and preserve optimal trim. The innovative forward tender lift keeps excess weight out of the stern, while the retractable drive system minimizes drag and allows clean water flow over the rudder blades. Combined with the rotating carbon rig, asymmetrical daggerboards and a powerful sail plan, Be The First delivers outstanding performance, with reported speeds up to 27 knots and effortless cruising in the high teens.
Despite her performance pedigree, she offers a refined and thoughtfully executed interior, showcasing a level of customization and craftsmanship that clearly sets her apart from production-built alternatives. The systems and outfitting support comfortable, self-sufficient cruising and have been integrated to a high standard.
Now offered at a significant reduction of USD $1.29M (reduced $400k, March 22, 2026), the pricing reflects the owner’s motivation to secure a sale in the Caribbean before returning to Europe this summer. Austria-flagged and EU VAT paid, Be The First is currently located in Nanny Cay Marina, Tortola, BVI. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire this class-defining performance catamaran for well below market value. Many more photos, videos and information on the build are available upon request. We welcome you aboard for a virtual tour on our website or to schedule a showing in person in the British Virgin Islands.
