Overview
About this vessel
Some yachts earn their reputation through accolades. Others become the benchmark against which an entire class is measured.
Taboo, Hull No. 1 of the acclaimed HH52 series, is one of those rare yachts.
As the original HH52, Taboo introduced a new generation of luxury performance catamarans—combining breathtaking sailing performance with sophisticated design, uncompromising engineering, and true bluewater capability. Since her launch, she has become one of the most recognized HH Catamarans in the world, serving as the factory flagship and demonstration yacht while introducing countless owners, journalists, and experienced sailors to the extraordinary capabilities of the HH52.
Designed by Morrelli & Melvin and constructed in advanced carbon epoxy by HH Catamarans, Taboo represents the philosophy that has made the brand synonymous with uncompromising performance cruising. Every aspect of her design reflects a singular objective: to create a yacht capable of exhilarating passagemaking without sacrificing the luxury, comfort, and refinement expected aboard a world-class cruising catamaran.
Her lightweight carbon structure, curved C-foils, and highly optimized sail plan deliver remarkable efficiency, responsive handling, and exceptional speeds under sail. Whether covering serious offshore miles or enjoying an afternoon sail with family and friends, Taboo rewards her crew with a sailing experience that is both exhilarating and remarkably composed.
Inside, expansive panoramic glazing fills the saloon with natural light while framing uninterrupted ocean views. Contemporary styling, premium materials, and impeccable craftsmanship create an atmosphere that is elegant without excess. The open-plan living spaces flow effortlessly into the aft cockpit, creating an ideal environment for entertaining or extended cruising.
A working forward cockpit and fully enclosed central helm offer outstanding visibility and intuitive sail handling, allowing the yacht to be managed confidently by a short-handed crew while remaining connected to guests on board. Dual aft bucket seats with tiller steering and push-button sail controls add an element of exhilaration not typically found on cruising catamarans. Every system has been thoughtfully integrated to support comfortable, efficient, long-range cruising.
As the flagship of the HH52 fleet, Taboo has benefited from continuous investment, careful maintenance, and thoughtful refinements throughout her life. Rather than simply serving as a showcase, she has been actively sailed and continually improved, resulting in a yacht that is exceptionally well sorted and ready for her next owner.
Unlike commissioning a new build, Taboo is available for immediate delivery in Norfolk, Virginia. She presents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most celebrated performance cruising catamarans ever built, with no construction wait and a pedigree that cannot be replicated.
For the discerning sailor, opportunities like Taboo are exceptionally rare. She is more than the first HH52—she is the yacht that established the reputation of an entire series, inspired a generation of owners, and demonstrated that uncompromising performance and uncompromising luxury can exist in perfect balance.
Now, she is ready to begin her next chapter.
