The initial inspiration for the Balance 526 arose from our passion to design and build, from the ground up, the finest performance voyaging catamaran ever conceived for a couple or small family who really want to go places in speed and comfort yet carry significant cruising payloads. We set out to design the 526 to be simple to operate, to maintain, and enormously gracious to live on.

EXPERIENCE MATTERS
The 526 is the brainchild of multihull racer, author and designer Phillip Berman, naval architect Anton Du Toit, and well-known catamaran builder Jonathan Paarman. This exceptional yacht was designed and built by a team with a lifetime of experience sailing, racing, cruising and fabricating blue water catamarans. The 526 is also the byproduct of the enormous fund of direct sailing experience and customer feedback Phillip gained managing the sale of over 500 catamarans through The Multihull Company, the world’s largest brokerage firm specializing in the sale of blue-water voyaging catamarans. No design, build and brokerage team has ever assembled the depth of hard-fought experience our team holds in catamaran design and fabrication.
