SeaMotions - OUTREMER 45 DANSON – 2003 –
The Outremer 45 Danson design is a classic in the world of performance bluewater catamarans. Created by Gérard Danson, the founder of Outremer, it embodies his philosophy that a true cruising catamaran should be light, seaworthy, and capable of safely carrying a family anywhere in the world. This is not just a comfortable boat—it’s a sailor’s boat, built by sailors for sailors. Agile in light winds, steady and reassuring when the breeze picks up, the 45 is as capable of crossing oceans as it is of turning a coastal cruise into a memorable adventure.
Built in 2003 and launched in 2004, this example has been under the care of the same owner since 2007. In all that time, she’s been sailed with purpose and pleasure, never pushed beyond what was needed, and always maintained with care. During the second ownership she was only sailed 2-3 months each year and then stored on the hard. That approach means her rig, sails, and systems are all in sound condition, ready for her next chapter. Equiped with a coppercoat, the next owners will enjoy some time without having to add new antifouling regularly. She carries the legacy of Danson’s design in every line—slim hulls for performance, balanced sail plan for ease of handling, and just the right amount of comfort to make life aboard both safe and enjoyable.
Her equipment is geared towards practical, independent cruising. On deck, a full cockpit enclosure and shade curtains turn the cockpit into a sheltered living space in any weather, while a dedicated canopy over the trampolines provides a shady retreat when at anchor. A hard kayak sits securely on deck, ready to explore remote coves or paddle ashore. Her sail wardrobe, including a well-cut mainsail and headsails in good condition, offers flexibility across wind ranges. Winches, deck gear, and running rigging are all chosen to be robust and efficient, keeping sail handling smooth and safe.
Navigation and onboard systems are equally well thought out. Electronics are arranged for clear visibility and easy access from the helm, while safety equipment is in place for offshore passages. The saloon is equipped for real cooking at sea, with reliable refrigeration, ample work surfaces, and good storage. It is bright and well-ventilated, making it as pleasant at anchor in the tropics as it is on passage.
The Outremer 45 remains one of the most respected designs in bluewater sailing for good reason—light, responsive, and sea-kindly, yet tough enough to carry a family safely across oceans. This particular catamaran stands as a fine example of that vision: a pure sailor’s boat, ready to go and ideal for anyone seeking both performance and security on the water.
Now lying close to the Outremer shipyard, she is offered for sale directly through the yard. That means her next crew will benefit from the unmatched technical insight, safety focus, and support that only the original builder can provide—making her not just a boat purchase, but the start of a voyage backed by the very people who brought her to life.

Excellent communication.
We had a great purchasing experience with The Multihull Company. Got us into the boat we really wanted, our broker Josie was amazing, she walked us through the entire process, negotiated the deal we wanted and gave us great advice throughout. If you are looking to purchase a boat we can’t recommend them enough.
It’s been a few weeks now and the dust has settled. We had a great experience with the Multihull Company and in particular our broker, Caroline Laviolette. Caroline was happy to share her knowledge of the market and the catamarans we were interested in purchasing. She was patient and thorough as we looked at several boats in SE Florida, helped us narrow our search and eventually purchase a beautiful 2017 Lagoon 42. Many thanks to the team at The Multihull Company!
We had a great experience purchasing our boat with Will Miller as a buyers agent. Purchasing our first large Cat is a daunting experience and Will was able to walk us through the process with ease. Will was very straight forward and constantly gave us honest feedback as well as finding and pointing out details on all the boats that we may not have noticed or thought about.
We had a great experience and would use them again.
I would specifically recommend a buyers agent when purchasing to help weed through a lot of problems and misrepresented boats on the market.
We have had great experiences with the Multihull company. We both sold our old boat through them, and bought our new boat through them. I have to say that Will Miller is top-notch, and Riley was great as our broker for selling our O day 39. when you buy a Salt or Boat through them, I feel like you are not only clients, but you are friends. The lines of communication were always open and we were always informed of everything going on.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our client’s trust.
Advice of any kind is valuable only when grounded in hard-won expertise. It too, must be trustworthy. Trust and expertise define the heart and soul of The Multihull Company. We are a team of skilled professionals who thrive on providing expert, trustworthy advice and service to catamaran and trimaran sailors around the globe.
