GranOcean power catamarans are crafted using only class-leading components and industry-renowned expertise:
In 1988, GranOcean founder Vincent Mausset identified a need for custom-built, durable, and efficient vessels that could handle all weather conditions while maintaining aesthetically pleasing lines.
Collaborating initially with Sparkman & Stephens and Halvorsen, GranOcean launched the Atlantique 50, a monohull that later evolved into the acclaimed Passage-Maker Series, ranging from 50 to 88 feet. These exceptional yachts, inspired by a classic 1970s Feadship design with a signature funnel and canoe stern, became popular with discerning yachtsmen seeking adventure.
Building on their expertise in long-range monohulls, GranOcean’s design team then developed a new range of large power catamarans, including commercial, supply, and pleasure vessels, always maintaining a focus on elegant, eye-catching lines.
Dear Eric & Scott, Hope all is well with you and your families. Also hope business is going well. Again, anything I can do to assist, I am more than happy to help with. This brand deserves to grow into a huge success. I am thoroughly enjoying the W60. You all have built a tremendous vessel. Outside of the expected "gremlins" on a new yacht, the experience and quality has been impressive. Have loved our initial trips in the Caribbean! Been thinking about a potential next vessel (just thinking at this point, Ha) and the X24 may fit the bill. A few quick questions...
