Catamaris

Who we are

When series, custom or semi-custom catamarans cannot fulfil your ideas and visions:

Catamaris®, the manufacturer of individual, fast, modern "full-custom" sailing and motor catamarans and trimarans for worldwide blue water cruising, designs and manufactures according to your preferences and requirements.

In continuous exchange with the architects of Catamaris®, the design of your new catamaran or trimaran is created until it meets your expectations in every detail. Then, under the constant supervision of Catamaris®, your new construction grows in one of its shipyards experienced in building multihulls in Holland, Germany and Europe: an outstanding result of maritime craftsmanship is handed over to you.

The design and construction budget is at a comparable level to some "semi-custom" manufacturers. However, with Catamaris® there are no restrictions on the implementation of the client's ideas due to the"full-custom" construction process.

Catamaris® is brand, designer, shipyard and manufacturer of fast cruising, sophisticated “custom-made” performance catamaran, trimaran and sturdy explorer catamaran yachts for worldwide blue-water cruising, including the Arctic and Antarctic from 18-52m.

Our maritime masterpieces are built according to your personal requirements from certified aluminium or high-tech composite material. Catamaris® is your central project partner since 2011, from the first meeting to designing, building, handing over, christening and afterwards. In English, German, Spanish and Dutch.
