CATANA was created in 1984 for the purpose of building cruising catamarans out of composite materials, competitive, solid and safe. Ahead of its time, CATANA's image and role as forerunner in the field have never been challenged. In the last few years, CATANA has taken advantage of this strong image to strategically reposition itself on the market. Its trend towards greater comfort and top-of-the-line equipment and fittings has literally made its reputation explode, along with its commercial results. Today, with 350 employees and an annual turnover of 150 M (of which 95% is earmarked for export) and constantly growing, CATANA is the world leader in the luxury cruise catamaran sector.

Know-how

The constant objective to do better by using increasingly innovative techniques exists in all of the areas of expertise within the company. The CATANA team is at the origin of many innovations that have made its reputation: industrially-manufactured carbon fibre masts for the entire line, vacuum construction of bridges and hulls made of sandwich panels using Twaron, automatic reefing system, easier navigation, flush deck, etc.
