Why This Matters for Catamaran Gurus and Our Owners
At this year’s press conference, Catana Group shared its 2026 to 2030 strategic plan, and for us at Catamaran Gurus, this is more than corporate news. It is confirmation that we are aligned with a builder investing in innovation, capacity, and long term strength in the catamaran market.
With €229 million in annual turnover and 1,400 employees across production facilities in France, Portugal, and Tunisia, Catana Group has built serious infrastructure behind its brands. That stability directly supports our owners.
A Stronger Commitment to Bluewater Performance
Catana is expanding its bluewater cruising range and reinforcing its performance heritage. That means continued development of the fast, safe, offshore capable catamarans the brand is known for.
For our owners, this delivers:
- Continued innovation in long range sailing platforms
- Preservation of Catana’s performance DNA
- Confidence in resale value and brand longevity
- A builder focused specifically on catamarans
This is not diversification away from core strength. It is doubling down on it.
Major Investment in Innovation and Infrastructure
The Group is investing heavily in a new development center in France dedicated to research, prototyping, and accelerating model development. More engineering and tooling will be brought in house, improving quality control and reducing development timelines.
What this means for our clients:
- Faster and smarter model evolution
- Greater production consistency
- Enhanced engineering oversight
- Long term product refinement
When a shipyard invests in its own capabilities, owners benefit.
A Strengthened U.S. Partnership
Catana Group has formalized its exclusive North American partnership with Catamaran Gurus and taken a direct stake in our company. This creates deeper alignment between factory and dealer.
For our market, that translates into:
- Stronger factory support
- Greater collaboration on product and service
- Expanded service capability in the U.S.
- A shared long term growth strategy
This is not a short term distribution agreement. It is strategic alignment.
What It Means for Owners
The 2030 vision includes new models, expanded production capacity, and broader service infrastructure. But more importantly, it reflects thoughtful growth and long term commitment to the catamaran sector.
At Catamaran Gurus, we build ownership strategies around confidence in the yacht, the builder, and the future of the brand. Catana’s direction reinforces that confidence. We are proud to represent a shipyard that continues to invest, innovate, and lead in the world of performance cruising catamarans.
