non-charter sailing Catamaran builders

wondering if someone can help me out...i was researching liveaboard catamarans and i read an ad that described a sailing catamaran company that only builds catamarans for owners and liveaboard clients...so they do not build for charter companies and i for the life of me can not remember that company name that builds these cats...does anyone know of catamaran companies that only build owner and live aboard catamarans. thanks for all your time and help

Re: non-charter sailing Catamaran builders

Privilege ( Groupe Privilège Marine - Chantier naval - Privilège - Yacht bateau de croisière de luxe ) don't build for charter companies. There are a few that are in charter but these are exceptions.

Manta is (was) another. Definately not a charter layout, but a very good cruising couple layout.

Re: non-charter sailing Catamaran builders

We could narrow it down a bit if you gave some specifics about the cat you want. Some possibilities:

Catana
Outremer
Alwoplast

I gather you're trying to remember a specific builder. There are some sites and books listing specifics about most of the production/semi-custom boats. You may recognize the name from one of those.

Cheers,

Try Discovery yachts in the UK.. They build a beautiful custom-built cat.

Re: non-charter sailing Catamaran builders

Outremer and Balance make nice performance cats for cruising. We are looking hard at these two builders.
