The Catana Ocean Class 50: The First Skippers Test 2025
Quentin Mayerat, a journalist from Skippers, traveled to Collioure to test the Catana Ocean Class 50....
The Catana Way of Sail is sailing aboard strong, comfortable yachts — designed to last and to protect.
It is daring to innovate before the others.
It is choosing the right speed, to go further without compromise.
A unique approach to bluewater sailing, blending performance, safety, and well-being.
For over 40 years, CATANA has been pushing the boundaries of offshore sailing, embodying a distinctive vision of performance. A multifaceted performance that blends speed, agility, innovation, and quality of life at sea—far beyond the pursuit of sport alone.
Every hull line, every design choice tells a story of boldness and precision. From the early sabre-shaped hulls inspired by the katana, to straight then reverse bows; from daggerboards turned curved and now electric, to raised nacelles and open cockpits—CATANA’s architecture reflects four decades of experimentation and innovation.
From the very first sketches, we chose the most advanced materials—vacuum infusion, carbon fiber—applying them precisely where they matter most for reliability, performance, and durability. Guided by a pioneering spirit, we’ve continually refined our production methods to control every detail, before, during, and after launch.
Today, CATANA continues to innovate with next-generation materials designed for those who live the sea. The result: exceptional catamarans—fast, responsive, easy to handle even with a small crew, and uncompromising on comfort and safety.
Performance is never an end in itself.
It exists to serve the experience—the joy of sailing farther, more smoothly, with greater intensity. That’s the unique alchemy we call The Catana Way of Sail.
Every detail on board is crafted to make life at sea smooth and enjoyable, in a space that is functional, spacious, and calming.
Comfort also means autonomy. Power, water reserves, storage capacity—everything is onboard to sail longer, more comfortably, without ever compromising performance.
A Catana doesn’t creak. Acoustic comfort has been a core design requirement for over 40 years. From materials to assembly, everything is engineered for smooth—and silent—navigation.
Living the sea has never been just a phrase.
It’s a philosophy brought to life onboard through generous openings, skylights, and a constant connection to the horizon.
Every space is designed to capture light, open up to the outside world, and offer full immersion in the marine environment.
The customer journey is a true co-creation: direct conversations with the team, build updates, yard visits, and dedicated support—well beyond launch day.
This human connection and artisanal precision lie at the heart of CATANA’s DNA.
Each boat is prepared with care, in the spirit of a limited production. You’re not choosing from a catalog — you’re shaping a life project, supported by a team of passionate experts.
That’s the true strength of the Catana Way of Sail.
