Market Overview

A catamaran is a particular kind of boat that is identified by having two equal-sized parallel hulls joined by a deck or other structure. Catamarans are incredibly comfortable. They have more capacity than monohulls, and even the living space and cockpit between the hulls may accommodate different needs, which is essential for long-distance sailing. The booming marine tourism market, combined with the increasing cruise ship market, along with consumers wanting high-end luxury holidays, is growing fast. The catamaran market is also experiencing growth as consumers want personalised details and custom-built boats. Consumers want custom interiors, sophisticated navigation systems, and, whether electric or hybrid, environmentally sustainable advances to their cruising lifestyle. The manufacturers are designing modular concepts allowing consumers to choose utilities and layouts that are unique to their preferences. Customisation is common in the premium luxury sector, where wealthy consumers are looking for a vessel that is high-value, high-performing, and distinctive. This trend is not only a competitive advantage for the businesses providing catamarans, but it also increases the overall and ultimate enjoyment for the consumer.

The U.S. federal government, through agencies like as the Department of Transportation and the Maritime Administration (MARAD), has actively supported catamaran manufacture by funding small shipyard modernisation through the Small Shipyard Grant Program.
