Production catamarans serve a clear mission. But every design is built around trade-offs: cost, weight, speed of construction, interior space, price point. When expectations exceed that mission, weaknesses show up. Not because builders are careless, but because pressure and volume shape decisions.
After more than a decade living aboard production catamarans and sailing offshore, we’ve learned where marketing and real-world use don’t always line up.
Production boats aren’t “bad.” They are built to a mission. But when that mission shifts; longer passages, heavier loads, multiple circumnavigations — the limits become visible.
⚓ NAHOA Yachts is our next chapter. Purpose-built expedition catamarans designed for sustained offshore use, honest load carrying, predictable handling, and long-term durability for short-handed crews operating far from supply chains.
