Outremer Outremer 55
About this yacht
The Outremer 55 represents over four decades of offshore catamaran expertise, distilled into a 16.73-meter bluewater cruiser that refuses compromise between performance and liveability. Built by French shipyard Outremer since 2021, this sailing yacht carries CE (A) certification for open ocean passages—a testament to her construction standards and capability. Her fiberglass hulls draw just 1.30 meters, opening anchorages that deeper-draft cruising sailboats cannot access, while her beam and design deliver the stability and volume that make extended voyaging genuinely comfortable. The Outremer 55 was conceived by naval architects given rare freedom: create the ideal ocean-going catamaran without the usual constraints. The result balances cruising comfort, sailing performance, and quality of life in ways that reflect millions of miles of real-world experience across every ocean. Maneuverability stands out immediately. Whether sailing shorthanded or solo, this performance cruiser responds intuitively, her systems engineered for simplicity rather than complexity. The three guest cabins provide genuine privacy and space—critical for long passages or hosting aboard. Tilting helm stations exemplify the thoughtful design throughout. Steer from the raised position for visibility and weather protection, or lower them to connect with the water and sails while seated on the double bench. Side seating, standing supports, central positioning, or sheltered cockpit steering—the Outremer 55 offers configurations for every condition and preference. The saloon opens completely to the cockpit through wide glass panels that disappear behind the coachroof bulkhead, creating unobstructed sightlines and flush transitions between spaces. This 360-degree visibility proves invaluable whether navigating, cooking, or simply monitoring conditions—you maintain awareness of your environment from anywhere aboard. The central island galley transforms from workspace to social hub, with fold-up shelving that creates additional seating or lounging area. Ventilation and natural light flow through every space, setting standards that make extended liveaboard cruising not just possible, but genuinely appealing. This is a sailboat designed by sailors who understand that thousands of offshore miles demand both capability and comfort—and that the best bluewater cruisers deliver both without apology.
