Outremer Outremer 51
About this yacht
The Outremer 51 stands as a proven benchmark in bluewater cruising catamarans. Built by the renowned French shipyard Outremer since 2018, this 15.63-meter sailing yacht evolved from the celebrated Outremer 49 and has earned recognition as European Yacht of the Year and Boat of the Year in the United States. With four guest cabins and a draft of 2.35 meters, she balances performance with accessibility for family cruising. This cruising sailboat delivers exceptional load capacity—over three tons—allowing owners to outfit her for extended voyaging without compromise. The spacious hulls accommodate essential bluewater equipment including a watermaker, generator, air conditioning, and dive compressor, while still leaving room for tenders, water sports gear, and everything a cruising family needs for life aboard. The protected cockpit features a rigid bimini and optional enclosures that create a secure, weatherproof living space. The U-shaped layout offers particular safety for families with young children, while the modular cockpit table converts into additional berth space without sacrificing dining functionality. Sailors can customize the rig to match their cruising style and experience level. Those prioritizing ease of handling will appreciate the self-tacking solent paired with a downwind gennaker—a combination that simplifies passage-making across oceans. More performance-oriented sailors may opt for a genoa with staysail, complemented by asymmetric or symmetric spinnakers. Both aluminum and carbon mast options are available, with the carbon version—optionally rotating—lowering the center of gravity and enhancing light-air performance. The Outremer 51 has accumulated hundreds of thousands of nautical miles across all the world's cruising grounds, proving her resilience and capability as a bluewater performance cruiser. Her design prioritizes both power and manageability, making her accessible to couples yet spacious enough for families embarking on circumnavigations or extended offshore passages. This sailing yacht represents the refinement of decades of catamaran expertise, offering the rare combination of proven offshore capability, generous payload, and straightforward handling that defines serious cruising sailboats.
