2025's 10 Best Catamarans for Sale [With Photos & Prices]

Catamarans have been surging in popularity for a number of reasons — their stability in coastal waters, shallow draft, the amount of living space relative to their length (a better value, in some ways, to other hull shapes with comparable interior space), and shipyards meeting demand with eco-friendly solar options and the increased comfort buyers are looking for — and new models debut at seemingly every major boat show. Even so, some highly-regarded models aren't brand brand new, but their excellence still warrants a place in the top ten.

Note that this isn't a best-to-worst list, or vice-versa: different buyers are looking for different characteristics, so we tried to find a variety of quality models to fill those niches.

With that said, let's kick it off with what's been called a "starter" catamaran for sale:

Fountaine Pajot MY4.S

At just over 36 feet (11 meters), Fountaine Pajot's MY4.S is fairly small — but that makes it easier to handle, and perfect for a couple looking to get into coastal cruising. The interior has two bathrooms (an impressive feat for its size), and the galley is bright and well-appointed. Its speed tops out at 22 knots with optional dual 250 horsepower engines, but a gentler 15 knots is a more fuel-efficient cruising speed.

A new MY4.S costs about $700,000 USD, but since the model is two years old, there may be a few that are pre-owned floating around for less.

C-Cat 56

Moving on to a relatively small Italian shipyard whose size permits buyers wiggle-room on design and interiors, C-Cats get high marks from sailors for their ability to handle bluewater (i.e., open ocean) cruising, comfort, and style. Their exteriors are sharp and eye-catching, and the interiors stylish and bright — their design allows for long windows and beautiful views.

A new C-Cat 56 will run buyers about $1.3 million USD, and although the model debuted in 2023, the size of the shipyard likely means there are fewer around.

C-Cat 65

New for this year, all the same virtues as above apply to the C-Cat 65, but the added length means extra lush comfort. The interior is stylish, with an inviting home-away-from-home feel, and the exterior has a built-in rack for a tender and a useful stepped-transom stern for swimming.

Given that this is a brand-new model, a price range isn't readily available, but estimates are around $2.5 million USD.

Seawind 1370

Another relatively new model, the Seawind 1370 has racked up awards, with judges praising its practical, thoughtful design, ease of sailing (at 45 feet), and "responsiveness" — not a virtue often applied to multihulls, which are known to be slower to turn than other hull types. One captain's review noted that he took it through rough waters and high winds with confidence — and had fun doing it. This was an easy addition to the list; reviews are effusive and all in agreement: this is a good one.

Depending on configuration, prices for a new 1370 range from about $800,000 to $1.2 million USD.

Seawind 1600 Passagemaker

As above, this Seawind shares the virtues of its smaller cousin, including the shallow draft: with retractable daggerboards, even this 52-foot catamaran can get close to the beach. Sailors praise the simple rigging, easily managed by two people, and speed — in good conditions it can hit 20 knots, faster than plenty of motor yachts.

A new 1600 Passagemaker can run from $1.2 million to $1.5 million USD, depending on options.

HH44

A 2024 multi-award-winner, the HH44 is for the owner looking for standard eco-friendly features: even the base model comes equipped with an impressive solar array and a hybrid engine noted for quiet operation. Flashy RGB lighting makes it eye-catching at night (and hard to miss in the dark — a useful and sometimes overlooked safety feature), and the interior is semi-customizable, with a number of wood tones and color options. Sailors also liked this catamaran's offshore-sailing abilities (which, again, isn't always something one hears about catamarans).

A new HH44 costs around $1.6 million USD.

HH52

Shipyards that win awards tend to have multiple catamaran models worth considering, so the trend continues: the HH52 has a similarly practical, eco-friendly, semi-custom design, but the extra length affords it more comfort (and room for guests).

The HH52 costs around $1.9 million USD.

Sunreef 70 Power Eco

When you get above the $1.5 million-or-so price point, sustainable features tend to come with the added space you might expect. The Eco version is fully electric, despite being a motor yacht with plenty of convenient amenities, thanks to a high-efficiency solar-capture system. The interior has a modern, relaxing feel, with ample space and thoughtful lighting. Owners have been impressed by the range and cruising speed for an all-electric yacht, as well as its maneuverability. The current price isn't readily available, but based on other Sunreef models, it's likely over $6.5 million USD.

Sunreef 80 Next Eco

As we head into the hyper-luxury models, words used to describe interiors go from "thoughtful" to "stunning," and the award-winning 80 Next is both. Every inch is impressive, yet comfortable, and the exterior design is just as sharp. Like the 70 Power, this sailing catamaran is silent and solar-powered, with plenty of room for guests. Owners say it's relaxing, well-designed, and feels even larger than it is. Prices start at around $9.5 million USD.

Gunboat 68 Voyager

Gunboat is often cited as one of the crème de la crème catamaran builders, with the dream of owning one on par with something like owning a classic Ferrari. Fittingly, they're fast — really fast, hitting speeds of 30 knots or better, outclassing plenty of other luxury yachts. If you're looking to cruise in a multihull without too much time spent between ports, this is the catamaran you want. The new Voyager model is designed with space and comfort in mind, and owners love its seaworthiness, even on lengthy bluewater trips. The 68 (non-Voyager) model starts around $7 million USD, but a new 68 Voyager is expected to run closer to $9 million or more.
