Under construction
The latest addition to the Catmar fleet, the Catmar Explorer 72, is currently under construction at the Dijkstra Jachtbouw shipyard in Harlingen, the Netherlands. This certified shipyard specializes in aluminium yachts and workboats.
Blue-water catamaran
Each of our blue-water catamarans is engineered to meet the highest standards, enabling them to navigate waters with the most stringent environmental regulations, earning them the distinction of true explorer yachts. Furthermore, they significantly contribute to reducing emissions during operation.
Our commitment to environmental sustainability is evident in various aspects of our design:
• Engines, gensets, and equipment comply with stringent EU standards for CO2 emissions.
• Optional hybrid diesel-electric propulsion systems are available for further reduction of CO2 emissions.
Currently, the Catmar Explorer 72 is undergoing interior finishing at the shipyard. Work includes the installation of engines, generators, air conditioning, navigation equipment, laboratory facilities for marine research, kitchen fittings, and bathrooms.
Alongside interior fittings, the completed furniture will be installed starting this month. As soon as the catamaran is launched, the mast will be erected, sails trimmed, and sails delivered.
