German yacht manufacturer Bavaria has finalised negotiations to take over the French catamaran builder Nautitech Catamarans.
With this move, Bavaria – the second largest manufacturer of sailing and motor yachts in the world – expands its product portfolio of monohull yachts to include the rapidly growing market for catamarans and continues along its targeted course of opening up new markets.
Nautitech Catamarans has been manufacturing 40- to 60-foot catamarans at their Rochefort site on the French Atlantic coast since 2004. Nautitech catamarans are designed and built by the company’s founder, Bruno Voisard, and his experienced team of multihull specialists.
The latest creation by Nautitech Catamarans is a 40-foot catamaran, developed in collaboration with production specialist Marc Lombard. Like the five other models in the current Nautitech Catamarans range, the new 40-footer features an innovative use of spatial design combined with excellent comfort, as well as high product quality and fast and safe sailing characteristics.
Bavaria and Nautitech Catamarans will be exhibiting together for the first time in Cannes from September 9-14.
