THE MARINE TECHNOLOGY EXPERIENCE

Proven by Nature

Many people dream of bravely sailing into the sunset in search of new horizons and exciting experiences. Whether you are an adventure seeker realizing long-held desires of crossing the world’s oceans, or simply enjoy the thrill of chartering a boat with family and friends for island-hopping cruises, there’s no doubt that a catamaran offers the promise of unforgettable adventures.

Exhilarating performance in harmony with nature, easy maneuvering, luxurious comfort and space – it’s easy to see why demand for catamarans is increasing, especially in the burgeoning charter market.

As a result, a new partnership between a pioneering French boat builder and a world-renowned Japanese marine engine manufacturer is already making big waves in this growing sector of the maritime market.

Catana has built a reputation over three decades for setting high standards in offshore performance, comfort and safety. Yanmar has more than a century of experience in building one of the world's finest, most reliable and durable diesel engines.

With increasing numbers of leisure users choosing catamarans, the time is right for these two innovative, well-established companies to join forces and deliver superior watercraft to an expanding customer base.

Discovering new horizons together

For #catana President Olivier Poncin, enabling customers to discover new horizons was one of the main reasons that drove him to design a new ‘Bali’ range of catamarans. Launched in 2014, they have attracted a phenomenal amount of interest – and a full order book – from charter companies and private customers.

Charter companies have found #Yanmar engines to be reliable over many years. They might plan to run a boat for up to ten years, so having a #Yanmar is not only important for anticipating running costs, but also for adding resale value.

The advantages for private buyers are similar. Reliable engines from an established company dedicated to service with one of the largest networks in the world mean owners can rest assured, knowing their yacht is powered by #Yanmar.

“It is important that we lead the field in providing the most efficient, reliable and responsive marine diesel engines for this flourishing market,” says Director of Sales and Marketing at #Yanmar Floris Lettinga. “This world-class partnership will allow us to deliver the many benefits of our marine engines to #catana and Bali owners.”
