Catana is set to debut the Ocean Class², an updated edition of its popular 50-foot bluewater catamaran, at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival. With more than 20 hulls already sailing, the new version reflects direct feedback from owners while refining both performance and onboard comfort.

Developed with the Piaton & Bercault design studio, the Ocean Class² interior aims for a warmer, more inviting atmosphere with updated finishes and fabrics. The layout emphasizes open flow and functionality, starting with a widened sliding glass door that enhances the connection between the cockpit and saloon.

Owner-driven updates include a new storage and seating unit linking the helm station to the cockpit, as well as a redesigned saloon with deeper lounge seating and a modular table that shifts from berth to dining area to workstation. The galley gains 15 percent more counter space, a larger island, and improved storage, all positioned for sea views while cooking.

The central saloon, intended as the hub for long passages, now features a cocooning lounge seat adjacent to a reworked chart table with improved visibility and connectivity. Below, buyers can select from three- or four-cabin layouts.

Performance also receives attention. By incorporating new materials and weight-saving techniques, Catana has reduced displacement while preserving payload capacity. The result, the yard says, is a catamaran capable of carrying more gear and personal items without slowing down — a key factor for circumnavigators.

“This new edition builds on what already works,” said Benjamin Monier of Catana Sales. “What we wanted was to evolve it with customer feedback — to take it further and enrich the concept with concrete solutions.”

The Ocean Class² measures 14.99 meters overall (15.75 with bowsprit) with a beam of 7.98 meters. Draft ranges from 1.39 meters with boards up to 2.52 meters down. Sail area comes in at 140 square meters upwind, and twin 45-horsepower engines provide auxiliary power.

Pricing starts at €1,090,000 (excl. VAT). The Ocean Class² will be on display at Catana’s stand (SAIL 025) in Cannes.
