At MAUI CATS, we provide plans and materials (kits) to help you embark on your new adventure of building a catamaran in an accessible, precise, and efficient way.

Our designs are suited for both hobbyists and professional builders, enabling anyone to begin this adventure and make their passion for the sea a reality.

Our pre-cut kits are designed to simplify the entire construction process:
• They allow for faster and more efficient building.
• They reduce errors thanks to CNC cutting of the parts.
• Anyone can start their project and build what they’re passionate about.
Building your own boat might seem overwhelming, so we’ve created a complete guide detailing each
step of the assembly process.
Our kits are the result of years of fine-tuning to achieve maximum construction efficiency, and we work in partnership with ATL Composites, a leading supplier of composite materials.

• Plans in PDF format.
• A detailed construction manual.
• Technical support.
Important: The plans are just the first step. To build, you must acquire the corresponding pre-cut kit,
which can be ordered after purchasing the plans.

Our kits offer a practical and sensible solution to building a boat. They include all the basic materials
necessary to make your boat ready for painting and interior equipment installation.
We offer fast delivery anywhere in the world and direct access to everything you need, from the supplier to your door.

Choosing the right materials is crucial in building a catamaran. At Maui Cats, we use state-of-the-art composite materials, selected for their strength, lightness, and durability.

Our designs combine fabrics and resins with balsa or foam cores, ensuring excellent performance on the water.

This is the main and most important material choice, and also one of the most frequently asked questions by our clients when taking the leap. Our designs are conceived to deliver the best results in both cases, making the most of the mechanical strengths of each material to achieve optimal performance.

Therefore, we leave the decision up to the client, allowing them to choose the one they feel most confident with. Both options will lead to a high-quality, high-performance catamaran. We are here to help and guide you in every decision you make.

We collaborate with trusted suppliers and manufacturers.
We receive constant feedback and recommendations about brands and systems, which allows us to help you choose products and companies of proven quality, known for their service and performance

We believe that building your own catamaran is a unique way to create a custom boat.
Our plans and kits are designed to make the process more accessible, precise, and affordable,
without sacrificing quality or durability.

Each model is the result of years of experience in sailing, building, and designing catamarans, combining the best of naval engineering with a passion for the sea.

Choosing a catamaran means opting for a stable, fast, and fuel-efficient boat, perfect for leisurely cruises or ocean crossings and regattas.
Additionally, catamarans offer an excellent safety at sea.

Our models are 100% designed by naval architects with extensive experience in recreational boating.

No, it’s not difficult. Our kits are designed to be easy to assemble, even if it’s your first time building
a boat.

Additionally, we offer personalized technical support, and we can connect you with builders who will be happy to help you shape your dream.

Whether as an adventure project or as an economic investment, building your catamaran is a transformative experience.
