The Dazcat Ocean Cruiser
The DOC is a true blue water cruising cat with all that you need to enjoy spending more time on board. The Ocean Cruiser combines the Dazcat signature of power, super light weight and stiffness to ensure you’ll always travel fast in secure comfort.
Sumptuously comfortable and practical living spaces integrate harmoniously with the innovative sail plan and layout. The overall feel is warm and comfortable in a clean modern style that is practical and easy to maintain.
The Dazcat 1495
The Dazcat 1495 really is our champion. She’s the perfect yacht for long distance cruising or family weekends and has also won numerous RORC and MOCRA races.
Over 30 years of design and build experience have gone into the cutting edge, lightweight composite techniques; utilizing carbon in key areas to deliver the perfect balance between performance, stiffness and comfort. Ease of handling, modern, spacious & comfortable interiors and design finishes to the owner’s requirements all contribute to making this a superb choice of boat.
Depending on build slot availability, the 1495 can be yours to sail away in under a year from ordering.
The Dazcat 1295
The D1295 is a real performance choice for all inshore and offshore events. As with all our Dazcats, having the self-tacking jib option and all the lines running back to the cockpit makes her easy and safe to manage even when shorthanded. The D1295, our fastest tacking Dazcat, has us awed by her super slick moves and stunning lines, making the perfect boat whether racing or enjoying some cruising time with family and friends.
Available for 2025 delivery.
Proven Multihull Performance
Our passionate and experienced team has been designing, building and sailing multihulls since 1988. The combination of exceptional qualities clearly apparent in Dazcat’s range of cruiser-racer catamarans is the cumulation of first-hand sailing experiences in every type of condition. The evolutionary cycle of repeatedly bringing 30 years of experience back to the design and build stages has consistently driven our advances in innovation and creativity.
Responding to our clients’ needs
We’ve always worked with every customer individually to help define their needs. Nothing has changed in that respect but we are now focusing production on two models: The D1295 & D1495. This is in response to interest, requests and the customers’ desire to get their Dazcat as quickly as possible.
As always, feel free to contact us to discuss any of our range.
“Simon and Multimarine have provided extremely good customer service and expertise to SailMaine since our acquisition of the boat in the Spring of 2020. I have been very impressed with how responsive, supportive, and knowledgeable Simon has been, even though we are not the original owner of the boat. It is clear Multimarine takes pride in their craftsmanship and wants to see their boats sailed well and cared for, period.”
Performance Cruiser-Racer Catamarans
We design and build true cruiser-racers: fast, comfortable, strong family cruisers that can also win races if that’s what you want to do. The 2019 Rolex Fastnet race saw five of our local Dazcats entered. The top four returned 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 6th in class. The two videos below perfectly exemplify our Dazcat ethos – fast comfort!
We love this short excerpt of Alex Thomson at the multihulls start “…if I had to choose one [a multihull] to do it on and stay dry and go fast, I think I’d be choosing a Dazcat!”
This video Yachting World put together of the 2019 Fastnet on board Dazcat 1495 Hissy Fit shows how easily the boat handles the conditions so the crew can stay fresh, enjoy the sailing and eat and sleep well throughout!
We are often in the yachting press. You can read some of what they’ve said about us on our News & Media page.
