Invitation to set sail
Almost 400 Outremer catamarans have been sailing on all the seas of the globe with couples and families living their dreams.
The Ultimate Blue-water Cruising Catamaran
Outremer [utʀ əmε: ʀ] draws its origins from blue-water cruising and etymologically from the color Outremer, a deep shade of blue reminiscent of its native coast, the Mediterranean Sea.
Over the past 37 years, Outremer has built catamarans of industry leading quality, designed for performance, to ensure your peace of mind and comfort onboard, whether for short distance cruising or for sailing around the world.
With you at every step
Combining the unique know-how of our talented French workers and the experience accumulated from millions of miles traveled, Outremer helps you make your dream come true from start to finish: from the definition of your project to building the sailboat of your dreams.
Thus, when becoming an Outremer owner, you receive all the support you need in order to ensure your experience onboard is a success. Our preparation package includes a skills assessment, training courses, seminars to prepare for ocean cruising and much more.
Outremer is not only a boat builder
Becoming an Outremer owner also means that you will benefit from a large range of services, from the purchase to the sale of your catamaran.
Emergency assistance, spare parts, in need of a refit or simply looking for information? Outremer is your number one contact!
Not decided to purchase just yet? You can also charter an Outremer.

Passionate sailors
With a fleet of nearly 400 catamarans around the world, Outremer forms an exceptional community: one of fun-loving adventurers.
To cultivate this bond with our sailors, we organize annual events such as the Outremer Cup, and offer platforms to help mainstream and share knowledge, such as the owners’ Facebook group and a technical blog.
OUTREMER 45 LOUSTIC, NANCY & FREDERIC
Catamarans are often seen as floating caravans. And then we tried the Outremer and realized it wasn't necessarily the case. The seaworthiness and performance ... It sails! So we decided rather quickly [for an Outremer].
OUTREMER 4X NO LIMIT, LOICK PEYRON
We feel that work has been done on the weight. [...] Lightness is not only a question of performance but of safety on these boats.
OUTREMER 4X, JEAN-PIERRE BALMES – BACK FROM THE ROUTE DU RHUM
I took part in the Route du Rhum on the Outremer 4X, a boat that I have recommended to many families and I wanted to show them that I meant what I was saying, that you can really sail with it!
OUTREMER 51 EIMATA VAA, FLORENCE & PHILIPPE
We needed a seaworthy boat, that would sail upwind with ease, that was fast and sturdy... We found all of this in our Outremer.
OUTREMER 51 KOKO KIWI, MARK
Outremer successfully created a boat that encompasses speed, simplicity, luxury and safety. For us this relates to good times, beautiful places and great family experiences.
OUTREMER 51 MOBY, BENEDICTE & LOÏC
It was the boat that really offered the best compromise between performance, comfort and speed for a rather demanding program of a round-the-world trip in two and a half years.
OUTREMER 51 TWO CANOES, RICHARD
It's not just any company that would tell you: cut back because it's better for you. And immediately it hooked me.

Monohull to Multihull
The most impactful change from a monohull to a multihull is that everyday life moves up a storey or two. The location and flow of spaces and rooms and people are critical to defining the heart of a home.

Sustainable sailing: why and how to protect our ocean’s biodiversity
71% of our planet is water-covered and the ocean, known as a carbon sink, concentrates about 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere (more than the Amazon rainforest) and absorbs 90% of excess heat in our climate system.
Let’s invent sustainable boating together
The ambition at Outremer has always been to create innovative sailboats, convinced that sailing was, and still is, the most natural and respectful practice.
At a time when environmental and societal issues are at the heart of concerns, we have a determined ambition: to invent sustainable boating.
