Outremer Outremer 45
About this yacht
The Outremer 45 stands as a legendary performance cruising catamaran that has been redefining bluewater sailing since 2014. At 14.63 meters in length with accommodations for up to 12 guests across 3 cabins, this sailing yacht combines the thrill of responsive handling with the confidence required for serious ocean passages. What sets the Outremer 45 apart is its exceptional single-handed capability. From the centrally positioned helm station, every control falls naturally to hand—electric winches, mainsail and solent sheets, engine controls, and windlass are all within easy reach. The ergonomic seating position and tiller steering deliver an intimate connection with the sea, while the narrow hulls and lightweight construction create an exhilarating sense of speed. Whether you're an experienced sailor or relatively new to cruising catamarans, the Outremer 45 rewards with intuitive handling and forgiving characteristics that inspire confidence in any conditions. The 360-degree visibility from both saloon and cockpit transforms watchkeeping and maneuvering. There's no need to venture on deck to scan the horizon—the sightlines are perfect from the chart table, standing at the helm, or relaxed in the cockpit. This exceptional awareness of your surroundings proves invaluable when navigating busy anchorages or monitoring weather systems during ocean crossings. Practical design details enhance the sailing experience further. The low boom simplifies reefing and sail handling while lowering the center of effort for improved performance and comfort. A single step provides easy access to the coachroof near the mast, making sail adjustments straightforward and safe. The versatile self-tacking solent paired with a downwind gennaker creates an ideal sail plan for trade wind routes, while the 4X variant offers enhanced light-air performance with a genoa for those seeking additional trimming options. Since launch, the Outremer 45 has evolved considerably. Extended hulls became standard in 2017, bringing the overall length to 48 feet. A significant weight reduction of nearly 500 kilograms came in 2018 through advanced composite construction techniques shared with the Gunboat line. Subsequent years saw davits, bimini, and gennaker fittings integrated as standard equipment, while electrical systems gained sophistication with CZone multiplexer technology in 2020. Built with a 2.5-ton payload capacity and CE Category A certification for ocean sailing, this cruising sailboat comfortably supports a couple on extended voyages. Families of four to five can embark on ocean passages with ample provisions, while larger crews simply need to pack more selectively. The generous 48-foot platform provides the volume and stability needed for serious bluewater cruising, and numerous Outremer 45 catamarans have already completed circumnavigations, some weathering severe storms without incident—testament to the robust engineering behind this proven design. With a draft of just 0.9 meters and fiberglass construction, the Outremer Outremer 45 delivers the rare combination of shallow-water access, ocean-crossing capability, and pure sailing pleasure that defines the modern performance cruiser.
