Custom Process

Here at OFFSHORE CATAMARANS we strive to give our clients not only the highest quality in structural integrity by utilizing composite technologies, but also give them a boat that meets all of their needs and wants. Because all of our work is custom, we work with the client all the way from the designing stage through final construction to ensure they get exactly what they want down to the smallest detail.

In the initial design stage, we discuss with the client what they would like to have included in their custom catamaran. Then, we draw up preliminary sketches based on their ideas and our design experience. We can offer clients several different options for different aspects of the boat. Once an overall structural design is agreed upon, construction can begin.

The study plan below is our OFFSHORE 52 POWERCAT which we built, and is now named the SS GOODLIFE. The SS GOODLIFE project is an excellent example of how small changes can be made after construction has begun.

During construction the client decided they would like an enclosed fly bridge. We then altered the design to accommodate their new design wants.

Below is a study plan of what the SS GOODLIFE looked like when construction was complete. Note the difference between the orginial study plan and the final study plan.

One thing that is very important to remember: while we can change small details throughout the construction process, the main hull and crossbeam structure cannot be altered once construction is underway.
