Description

The new C – Catamarans 56, designed by Enrico Contreas and Marco Amadio, is the ideal size to comfortably travel around the Mediterranean with family or friends: spacious, modern, welcoming in the interior, it makes it particularly docile and reliable in navigation and maneuvers. It is designed to navigate smoothly even with the bow sea, regaining the gear in a short time without losing too much in terms of speed. Speed remains the distinctive feature of C-Catamarans, to take advantage of every slightest gust, to get the maximum acceleration and not to give in to the bow bows. Powerful and impressive, the C-Cat 56 is a comfortable multihull but extremely safe and fun, ready to turn easily in any situation. The designers Marco Amadio and Marco Rogolino have interpreted the project to 360 - seeking the balance between outdoor and indoor spaces, maintaining the concept of habitability and comfort on innovative lines and sports catamarans built in Rome. In the interior and exterior project, they also communicate ergonomically and the introspective sense of some environments is nullified by the large and spectacular windows that bring the sea into the cabins. The exterior design is characterized by streamlined and broken lines for a contemporary sportiness, enriched by the steering positions, designed as an integral part of the superstructure , enveloping and placed in an ideal position for excellent global visibility. This solution, already adopted on the C-Cat 62, allowed to optimize the deck spaces, gaining livability in the large square and making the bridge accessible without hindrance from stern to bow. The catamaran has a convivial nature and the wide opening for the entrance in the square allows you to create a real open space with a single environment between inside and outside. In the interior, it was chosen to give a sporty impression with the warmth of wood, with the contemporaneity of soft touch finishes, recycled carbon details and Solid Surface elements for a right mix of lightness, elegance and sportiness.

2023 C-Catamarans C-Cat 56

The new C-Cat 56 designed by Enrico Contreas and Marco Arnadio is the ultimate Bluewater family cruising catamaran. She is a spacious modern design that is as much at home cruising the Mediterranean, as she is crossing the Pacific Ocean.

The exterior design is characterized by streamlined lines for a contemporary sportiness, enhanced by the steering positions. The bulkhead mounted helm positions are designed as an integral part of the superstructure. The expansive cockpit has an open and inviting feel, while still feel protected and enclosed.

The interior feels light, open, and airy thanks to her expansive windows with lighter tones throughout. She is available in either a 3 cabin or 4 cabin layout.

Like all C-Cats this boat is custom built to meet the exact specifications of even the most demanding yachtsmen.

What Our Clients Say

Considering buying the C-CAT 56? Here’s some additional information regarding yacht charter ownership and management.

What is yacht ownership?

You can own a boat in the traditional way, you can own a shared yacht with a friend, or you can own a yacht in charter. Either you do all the work yourself or someone else takes care of the yacht management. There are as many ways to own a boat as there are people, and there is a lot to take into account. Can you make money chartering a yacht? What is a yacht programme? What is fractional yachting? Get answers to these questions and advice on yacht ownership! Get in touch now!

Pros of owning a yacht

Instead of worrying about the type, availability or the cost of yacht charter – you can own a yacht and even earn from it! An option to consider is fractional yacht ownership, where you have a share in the boat – you share the yacht costs and the proceeds with others. Owning a charter boat relieves you from the maintenance, helps you to offset the costs, gives you a chance to sail in different locations… If you don’t believe us, you can read charter yacht ownership reviews from real boat owners! There are plenty out there.

Description

One of my favourite performance catamaran designs is the Gunboat 48. They only ever built six of them, and they still change hands for well into 7 figures, so it has always surprised me that no-one has tried to fill this market gap. Outremer and Marsaudon have a 45 and a 42 respectively – slightly smaller, and they seem to sell well.

Well, no-one up until now that is, as the Italian yard C-Catamarans is launching the C- 48 and she looks like she might clean up in this sector of the market. This Italian yard has a history of spotting an opportunity. They successfully launched a 37 footer: another market that has been forgotten by the major manufacturers.

This Italian boat is competing with the likes of the Windelo 50 catamaran in the performance cruising market. It’s a busy market.

The C-Cat 37 was designed by Marc Lombard, one of our favourite architects, and is a neat entry level cat. They plan to launch a range of high performance, top of the range catamarans: a 62 footer, a 56 footer and the C-Cat 48. Exciting stuff and they’ll be going up against the likes of HH, Icecat, Kinetic, Balance, O Yachts and even Gunboat.

This fast cat is the same length as the Bali 4.8 but that is where the similarities finish. This catamaran is all about safe performance.

• The look! This is a fantastic looking boat: Italian styling at its best
• The combination of twin aft helms and the interior helm station means that you get the best of both worlds: maximum sailing feel and protection when the weather turns nasty.
• With an SA / D ratio over 26, this is a fast, light boat along the lines of an Outremer (with more living space thanks to the Open design)
• Pretty good value compared to the competition
• Comar Yachts have plenty of experience in building boats.
• The quality of the interior finish is a cut above the competition.
• With twin 35 HP engines, she seems underpowered when the wind dies. I am guessing there will be an option to upgrade to more power here.
• With only 300 litres of fresh water capacity, you are going to need a water maker
• The fuel tanks are fairly modest too (2x 130 L). But then again, you should be sailing on this boat most of the time if you keep the weight off and your sail locker is full.
• Aft helms. They always go in the pros and the cons, don’ t they? Great for maximum sailing feel when the C-Cat 48 accelerates, but you are exposed back there if it blows up. There is a great option for an inside wheel at the nav station as well. That would be top of my options list after the gennaker, Code 0 and water maker.

The Team Who Love Fast Cats The C-Cat 48 was designed by the Yacht Design Collective (François Perus and Romain Scolari) who are the team behind the ITA 14.99. It’s a catamaran that has been inspired by the likes of the Gunboat 60 and the Outremer 4X, but also has a healthy serving of Italian styling. This 48 footer  has been designed to cross oceans at speed in safety and comfort. She is built in Fiumicino, about an hour from Rome at the C-Catamarans yard.

She draws many design cues from her smaller sister, the C-Cat 37.

The entire cockpit and saloon is designed along the “Open” lines so loved by Marc Lombard, the designer of the smaller boat. You are protected by a large bimini with the aft cockpit and the saloon on the same level, separated by a large sliding door which connects the 2 spaces into one large open living area.

Best of Both Worlds? The C-Cat 48 is a catamaran for sailors along the lines of a Nautitech or a classic Catana with twin aft helms at the stern and all the running rigging led back so that you can manage the boat  without having to leave the aft cockpit. She’s been designed for short handed crews. The only sails that you will need to deal with forward are the light wind sails (gennaker, Code 0 and so on). There is a Harken winch on the mast to help you.

Of course, the main concern for most with sporty aft helms is protection and safety in bad weather. The C-Cat 48 has an option for an additional interior helm station with an interior wheel which gives you the best of both worlds. I can only think of Kinetic who offer a similar solution, and they are in the 7 figure price bracket

The ride is smooth like an Outremer, with a high bridge-deck and low Displacement to Length ratio. This cat should get you out of trouble quickly. They have though about weight distribution carefully. The anchor is set back just forward of the mast for instance, to centralise the weight.

A Powerful Sail Plan The SA / D ratio sits at over 26 with the mainsail and self tacking jib flying. There is also a genoa and options for a gennaker, code 0 and parasailor /Spinnaker. That should put the C – Cat 48 at the top of the performance cruiser category along with the likes of the Balance 482 (probably the closest competition?) There are also options for a carbon mast and longeron which will help you safely fly more sail area.

Modern and efficient, the C-Cat 48 is equipped with C-Foil daggerboards which should give you a bit of lift at speed.

This catamaran is constructed with a sandwich laminate structure infused with multiaxial fabrics and an epoxy-vinyl matrix. The bulkheads are made of composite with local carbon reinforcements in higher stress areas. She’s pretty rigid which all helps to improve the performance of this catamaran.

In the interior, there are 2 customizable options available: Antigua: a cleaner, sportier finish if weight reduction is your top priority, and St.Barth for a more luxurious, comfortable finish, albeit with some weight penalty.

The C-Cat 48 is one of the most exciting designs to come out in the performance cruising category. It’s great to see this Italian catamaran out on the water. I’ll be queueing up for a test sail!

How much does a C-Cat 48 Cost? What is the price? Well, as always, we will cover ourselves by saying that it depends on the options you go for, but a very nice example will set you back around €750k plus taxes.
