When it comes to purchasing a catamaran, one of the biggest decisions you’ll face is whether to buy new or used. Both options offer unique advantages — and understanding which fits your lifestyle, budget, and sailing goals can make all the difference.
As an experienced yacht broker specializing in catamarans and multihulls, Navigator Yacht Group helps buyers and sellers navigate every stage of the process — from listing and marketing pre-owned vessels to guiding clients through a new build with Comar Yachts, our exclusive European partner.
Why Consider a New Catamaran?
A new catamaran offers the peace of mind that comes with modern design, warranty protection, and zero maintenance history. If you’re looking for cutting-edge performance, customization, and the latest onboard technology, a new build might be the smarter long-term investment.
Benefits of buying new include:
-
Customization: Choose layouts, finishes, and equipment tailored to your cruising plans.
-
Technology & Efficiency: Newer models feature advanced hull designs, hybrid propulsion options, and lightweight carbon construction.
-
Warranty & Service: A brand-new catamaran means fewer surprises and full manufacturer support.
-
Resale Value: A new yacht often retains value longer, especially if it’s a high-end European build like a Comar C-Cat.
Navigator Yacht Group represents Comar Yachts in the United States — a brand known for Italian craftsmanship, innovative composite construction, and performance-oriented multihulls. From the C-Cat 38 to the flagship C-Cat 65, these yachts balance comfort, speed, and premium design excellence.
Why Choose a Used Catamaran?
A used catamaran can be an excellent option for buyers looking to enter ownership at a lower price point or those who want a proven vessel ready to cruise immediately.
Advantages of buying used include:
-
Lower Upfront Cost: Significant savings compared to new builds.
-
Immediate Availability: No waiting period for construction or delivery.
-
Pre-Outfitted Vessels: Many pre-owned catamarans come fully equipped with electronics and cruising gear.
-
Depreciation Advantage: The previous owner absorbs the steepest portion of value drop.
However, used boats can vary widely in condition. This is where working with an experienced catamaran yacht broker becomes essential. Navigator Yacht Group conducts thorough evaluations, market analyses, and professional photography and videography to ensure both buyers and sellers get fair value.
