OUTREMER 45 #108

The new, without the wait

In the world of large cruising, there is an almost immutable rule: a new Outremer is ordered, then one must wait, sometimes several years, while the yard patiently shapes each hull. Today, the calendar offers us an exception to this rule. Here is an Outremer 45, vintage 2026, never delivered, never sailed, fully equipped for the open sea — and available right now.

This unit can be purchased excluding VAT (export or company), including VAT, or financed through leasing, depending on the project of its future owner.

A philosophy born in La Grande-Motte, becoming a given for the great journey

It all began in 1984, when Gérard Danson, a young architect, and Daniel Cailloux, an exceptional technician, left the Conati yard to give birth to a catamaran thought differently: fine hulls, contained weight, reduced windage.

The idea seemed almost heretical for the time — to make the catamaran a true sailing vessel, capable of facing the open sea rather than just following its edge. However, it quickly established itself: the very first Outremer 45 won the solo Transatlantic race, proving that this strange two-hulled boat could compete with the best monohulls on their own turf.

However, it was from 2007, when the Grand Large Yachting group took over the yard, that this philosophy truly flourished. Far from merely keeping pace with monohulls,

Outremer catamarans would surpass them: at equal wind speed, their crossings are made in times that few monohulls can hope to match.

On board, one sails flat — without the constant heel that tires the crew — in volumes and brightness that no monohull of the same length can offer.

And when the time comes to slip into a lagoon or anchor close to a beach, the retractable keels reduce the draft to a fraction of that of a fixed keel monohull, opening anchorages that others can only observe from afar.

Speed, stability, volume, light, accessibility: it is this combination that has made the Outremer concept a reference for those dreaming of great journeys.

Sold by the yard: much more than a boat

This opportunity is presented to you jointly by the Outremer yard and Grand Large Yachting and its official brokerage service.

Acquiring this new unit directly from the yard means choosing a unique purchasing journey: full manufacturer warranty, technical follow-up by the very teams that oversaw the construction of the boat, and above all, access to everything that only a yard like Outremer can offer its owners.

Owning an Outremer is not just about owning a catamaran: it is about joining a community of great travelers, with the possibility of participating in exclusive events:

Outremer Week, the biannual intensive training week bringing together a hundred owners around maneuvers, marine weather, electronics, and safety at sea.

Joining the Outremer Cup, the annual gathering of owners between sailing and conviviality.

Or participating in one of the Rallies organized by the Grand Large Yachting group around the world.

All these additional services, unique to the yard, transform a boat purchase into a true life project.

The Outremer 45: a story in its own right

While the name "45" carries all the heritage of the yard, the boat we know today by this name was born in 2014, from a design by architects Christophe Barreau and Frédéric Neuman. Their mission: to bring to Gérard Danson's founding concept all the comfort and modernity that today's travelers expect, without ever betraying its spirit — ease, performance, and safety remain, now and always, the three inseparable pillars of an Outremer.

Initially born as a strict 45-foot model, the design has evolved into its current 48-foot version.

Since 2024, the saga continues in Lorient, where all current Outremer 45s are built — a site that has already seen the 100th unit roll out of its workshops, a shining testament to the success this model has achieved among future great travelers.

What strikes you on board an Outremer 45 is its ease — whether you are a beginner or an experienced sailor. No need for years of experience to set off: the clear view from all corners of the boat makes maneuvers simple, even solo.

Its narrow hulls and contained weight offer exhilarating accelerations and real gliding sensations, with the helm in hand, from a comfortable seat.

The Outremer 45 remains one of the most forgiving catamarans in its category — serenity in long cruising is never negotiable at Outremer. It is undoubtedly this combination of accessibility and character that has made this model so popular, notably propelled by the adventure of a young Australian couple who set sail around the world on board, followed since by millions of enthusiasts under the name La Vagabonde.

The boat #108: the essentials in one word

This unit brings together what a great journey project can hope for at its best.

On the sailing side, a complete and easy wardrobe – from Incidence in Hydranet — mainsail, self-tacking jib, Code 0, downwind gennaker, and heavy spinnaker with sock.

On the notable options side: bimini and carbon bulkheads.

On the energy side, two lithium batteries of 6 kWh each (12 kWh total), a 3,000 W inverter, and 1,750 W of solar panels offer remarkable autonomy, complemented by a Starlink Mini preparation.

The boat benefits from a particularly complete B&G Triton2 electronic package — Halo 20+ radar, Zeus3S chart plotter at the chart table and at the helm, main autopilot and second backup pilot.

The new: a freedom of acquisition that few boats can offer

The fact that this boat is new and not yet delivered opens up much broader acquisition possibilities than for a used boat in terms of financial arrangements:

Excluding VAT, in the context of an export or acquisition by a company.

Including VAT by settling the VAT.

Or through a leasing solution tailored to its project.

Even better: because the boat has not yet been delivered, the expertise and experience of the yard allow for certain equipment adjustments upon request, in order to refine this already very complete configuration and bring it even closer to the precise expectations of its future owner.

A flexibility simply impossible on a used boat that has already been built and used.
