A LEGENDARY MODEL

The Outremer 45 is a 48 ft catamaran. Easy to control from the helm station, everything is within reach and the clear view over the four corners of the boat guarantees perfect maneuvers, even single-handed.
With its narrow hulls and light weight, the feeling of gliding, well wedged in a comfortable seat with tiller in hand, is exhilarating.

But don’t worry if you leave the helm to the autopilot or if the wind gets stronger: the Outremer 45 is the most forgiving of catamarans. Peace of mind while cruising is non-negotiable on an Outremer, including on this single-handed catamaran.

UNMATCHED VIEW OF THE HORIZON

The Outremer 45 offers exceptional 360° visibility from both the saloon and cockpit, ensuring perfect sightlines whether seated or standing, inside or out. This enhances comfort, safety, and ease of watchkeeping—making night watches especially relaxed from the chart table, without the need to go on deck. One of the standout features of the Outremer 45 is its exceptional visibility from both the saloon and helm station. Large panoramic windows create a bright, open interior while providing uninterrupted views of the surrounding environment. This connection to the sea enhances safety, improves situational awareness and makes life onboard more enjoyable during extended voyages. Whether sailing offshore or relaxing at anchor, the Outremer 45 offers a truly immersive cruising experience.

EASY ACCESS

The low boom design improves performance and comfort by lowering the sail’s center of effort while allowing easy access to the mainsail. Simple coachroof access and safe, straightforward reefing make sail handling effortless—no acrobatics required. Thoughtful design ensures confident operation, ideal for beginners and short-handed or single-handed sailing. The Outremer 45 combines performance with practicality through a layout that prioritises ease of movement throughout the yacht. Wide side decks, secure handholds and thoughtfully designed access points make moving around the vessel safer and more comfortable in all conditions. These features are particularly valuable during offshore passages, where convenience and crew safety are essential. The result is a bluewater cruising catamaran that is both capable and easy to live with.
