The Outremer 55 is a performance-oriented bluewater cruising catamaran built by Outremer Yachting of France, launched around 2015. Designed by the renowned VPLP Design studio, the 55 is engineered for shorthanded ocean passagemaking with a focus on speed, safety, and liveability — her slender hulls and tall carbon rig deliver a sail-area-to-displacement ratio above 27, placing her firmly in the performance catamaran category. At nearly 55 feet with a 27-foot beam, the Outremer 55 offers four double-cabin layouts and a spacious saloon, all configured to keep weight low and sailing efficiency high. She is a popular choice for bluewater couples and families who prioritize passage speed on long-distance routes such as the ARC and Pacific circuits.
