We are proud to unleash a true, unstoppable aluminum machine:
the ALU-EXP
ALU-EXP — 17-metre aluminium expedition sailing catamarans engineered for the world beyond the harbor.
Designed for structural integrity, redundant systems, long-range autonomy and serious ocean exploration.

Forget trendy luxury cruisers. The ALU-EXP is engineered for structural integrity, long-range autonomy, and true offshore exploration.
WHY IS AN ALUMINUM CATAMARAN SAFER THAN FIBERGLASS?Marine-grade aluminum provides superior impact tolerance, repairability, and structural resilience. For offshore use, it offers a stronger safety margin when debris, impact, or remote operations leave no room for compromise.
WHY DOES ALUMINUM HOLD ITS VALUE OVER THE YEARS?Properly engineered aluminum yachts retain value through durability, serviceability, and long operational life. Their resistance to structural fatigue and ease of repair support stronger confidence across the ownership cycle
WHAT IS A TRUE EXPLORATION CATAMARAN?A true exploration catamaran is defined by autonomy, redundancy, structural integrity, and dependable performance beyond established routes. It remains capable when support, shelter, and certainty are missing under pressure.
