Catana Group has appointed Catamaran Guru as its exclusive YOT Power Catamaran dealer for North America including both the USA and Canada.
The appointment follows a five-year collaboration between the two organisations regarding Catana Group’s Bali and Catana Sailing catamaran brands.
Since 2021, Catamaran Guru has represented Catana Group, building a presence across the USA with sales offices in Annapolis, MD and Kemah, TX, and a brokerage and corporate office in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
This latest dealer agreement will allow Catamaran Guru to further expand the YOT Power Catamaran brand’s reach across North America.
The boats they are building cater exactly to the needs of the discerning North American customer.

YOT Power Catamarans, which launched in Cannes 2023, is the third brand of the French Catana Group.
After introducing two outboard powercat models, the YOT 36 and YOT 41, YOT Power Catamarans has announced its third and first inboard model, the YOT 53 due to be previewed at Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show later in 2025.
“Their significant role in establishing the Bali brand as a top choice among cruising and charter communities gives us great confidence in their ability to introduce YOT to new markets,” said Boris Compagnon, commercial director for Catana Group and YOT Power Catamarans.
Key strategic market
“North America is a key strategic market for us, and with Catamaran Guru’s support, we look forward to welcoming more people into the Catana Group family and ensuring they receive outstanding service and care.”
Dan Lockyer, CEO of Catamaran Guru continued: “We are delighted to further our partnership with the Catana Group and represent their exciting new range of Powercats in this key market.
“Catana have invested heavily and wisely in the development and production of these models.
Natural progression
“The boats they are building cater exactly to the needs of the discerning North American customer and are perfectly suited to our coastal cruising conditions.”
The addition of the YOT catamarans was a natural progression for Catamaran Guru said chairman Stephen Cockcroft.
“We are thrilled to represent YOT, which showcases the latest advancements in technology, design, and construction in power catamarans,” he said.
“We’ve brought together a team of powercat specialists and professionals to ensure we deliver exceptional service and customer support for this sector of the market.”
YOT Power Catamarans is based in Aveiro, Portugal. The vessels are designed by JnJ Design and supported by an in-house team.
