The offshore sailor, benchmark for blue-water cruising
The proof is at sea
Seaworthy and smart for the ultimate cruising experience
The Outremer 52 is the offshore catamaran at exactly the right size to put sailing back at the centre. Fast, light, responsive, she holds her averages without demanding constant attention. Below and above deck, everything has been designed for the long passage: the living spaces keep their promises as much as the hull keeps hers. You can cook underway without bracing yourself, sleep without hearing the boat work. Since her launch, the Outremer 52 fleet has sailed every bluewater route – Atlantic, Pacific, circumnavigation. Her systems no longer need proving. They already have been.

Characteristics
See everything, all the time
Offshore performance is largely a matter of weight. Building the Outremer 52’s structure required a considered approach to both. A technology developed by Gunboat, fellow shipyard within the Grand Large Yachting Group, made it possible to reduce structural weight without conceding anything on rigidity.
The result: wide glazed surfaces, generous openings throughout the boat. From the saloon as much as from the cockpit, the sea is always in sight. On a bluewater passage, that is a safety consideration as much as a watchkeeping comfort.
Built for those who actually sail
A passage takes weeks, sometimes months. At that scale, the small daily discomforts on board end up weighing as heavily as the weather. That reality shaped every ergonomic decision on the Outremer 52.
Multiple helm stations, forward visibility from the saloon, a quarterberth oriented in the direction of travel. Every station has been thought through. In the cockpit, you eat while keeping watch ahead. At night, the watch is kept from inside, sheltered, without losing contact with the sea. The helm seat is sized for two, you take turns without getting in each other’s way.
On a long passage, it is those details that make you arrive wanting to go back out.
Life on board, in every moment
A crew spends as much time living on board as sailing. The Outremer 52’s spaces have been designed for every moment of life on board, on a bluewater passage as much as at anchor.
The full-width glazed panel opens completely: cockpit and saloon become one. Light floods in and the space extends outward. The galley opens onto both areas: you prepare a meal without losing sight of the crew, and keep an eye on the sea without leaving the galley. Conversations flow naturally between inside and out.
At anchor or on passage, the Outremer 52 is a boat where you live together with family or friends.
A space that adapts to the program
Every crew sets off with a different project. The Outremer 52 has been designed not to impose a standard layout on projects that are anything but. Outremer conceived a dedicated modular space called My Free Space, located in the forward port cabin. It can be configured five ways:
- a double cabin
- a convertible office with bunk beds
- a modular cabin, with an office convertible into a workshop, a folding bench and numerous storage spaces
- a dressing room
- a child’s cabin
A space that takes the shape of the voyage planned.
