At Navigator Yacht Group, we’re here to make the catamaran-buying journey exciting, stress-free, and tailored to you. Here’s what to keep in mind as you get started.

Why a Catamaran?

Compared to other vessels like monohulls, catamarans offer:

• Superior stability on the water

• More living space thanks to wide beams and multiple entertainment zones

• Can get into shallow areas and small island bays more easily

• Uses less fuel and moves more smoothly when running on engines

Whether your plans include weekend sunset cruises or long-distance passages, a catamaran can dramatically enhance your time on the water.

Discover Your Cruising Goals

Before falling in love with a layout (because you will), ask yourself:

• Will you use the catamaran for coastal cruising, bluewater passages, or charter?

• Do you plan to live aboard full-time?

• How many passengers do you typically host?

Your answers to these kind of questions is a good start to determine your must-have features. Cruisers planning offshore passages may want larger fuel and water capacity, while weekenders may prioritize entertainment-forward layouts.

Size & Layout Considerations

Most U.S. buyers gravitate toward 40–55 ft catamarans. Here’s why size matters:

• Larger cats offer more cabin space and storage, but increased docking limitations.

• Smaller cats are easier to handle and less expensive to maintain, but may sacrifice comfort for long trips.

Popular layouts include:

• Owner’s Layout — private, spacious suite ideal for liveaboards.

• Charter Layout — multiple, equal cabins for hosting guests or bookings.

New vs. Used Catamaran

New Catamarans

• Modern tech and updated systems

• Full warranty

• Customizable options (build wait times can be long)

Used Catamarans

• Immediate availability

• Proven performance history

• More price flexibility

Survey & Sea Trial

Never skip:

• A certified marine survey to inspect structure, systems, and safety

• A sea trial to evaluate handling, engine performance, and any potential concerns

These steps protect your investment, give you peace of mind, and strengthen your negotiation position. A professional broker will always guide you through the survey and sea trial to ensure you’re making a confident, well-informed purchase.

Why Work With a Catamaran Specialist?

The U.S. boat market is competitive, and inventory can move quickly. However, not all brokers are created equally. By partnering with a broker who specializes in multihulls, you benefit from their deep knowledge of the catamaran market and can feel confident you’re making informed decisions. You’ll also gain access to valuable industry connections and off-market opportunities, giving you an edge in a fast-moving market and helping reduce stress throughout the process.

Other reasons a catamaran specialist is beneficial:

• Access to off-market opportunities

• Objective brand insights

• Negotiation leverage

• Seamless documentation support

Buying a catamaran in the U.S. is an exciting journey. With the right guidance, you’ll find a vessel that elevates your cruising lifestyle — whether you’re exploring Florida’s coastline, hopping through the Caribbean, or setting your sights on international waters.

Let us help you find the perfect catamaran for your next chapter on the water.

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.

How Navigator Yacht Group Adds Value

Whether you’re buying a used catamaran, commissioning a new build from Comar Yachts, or preparing to sell your vessel, our team brings decades of combined experience in brokerage, new-build management, and after-sales support.

Here’s how we help you make the smartest decision:

Making the Smart Choice

Ultimately, the smarter buy depends on your specific goals.
If you want a turnkey cruiser with immediate availability and value in mind, a used catamaran may be ideal. If your priority is performance, personalization, and long-term ownership, a new build like the Comar C-Cat series is a rewarding investment.

At Navigator Yacht Group, we’re here to guide you every step of the way — whether you’re ready to explore pre-owned listings, list your current multihull, or begin your new-build journey with Comar Yachts.
