About the Outremer 45 2

Crafted by the renowned French builder Outremer Catamarans, the Outremer 45 2 represents the brand's long-standing commitment to building performance-oriented sailing catamarans that excel across a wide range of conditions. Outremer has cultivated a strong reputation among serious bluewater cruisers and offshore sailors who demand more than just comfort at anchor — they want a multihull that can genuinely move. As with other boats in the Outremer lineup, the 45 2 is designed with an emphasis on lightweight construction and efficient sailing performance, making it well suited to offshore passages and ocean crossings where speed and seakeeping ability matter. Buyers are typically drawn to Outremer's philosophy of bridging the gap between a dedicated performance catamaran and a liveable cruising platform, offering a boat that can handle open ocean conditions without sacrificing the comfort expected on extended voyages. For those researching a capable bluewater cruising catamaran with a pedigree rooted in offshore sailing, the Outremer 45 2 deserves serious consideration as a vessel built to go the distance.
