Outremer 45 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for an Outremer 45 means choosing within the second generation that launched in 2014, designed by Barreau-Neuman with Patrick Le Quément styling and Darnet Design interiors — not the earlier Danson-generation 45 of 2000. These are cruising catamarans of 14.54 meters with narrow hulls and a center helm configured for single-handed control, and the used fleet reflects a boat that has been steadily refined through the late 2010s.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both are available; ex-charter examples are common. The saloon and cockpit provide a 360° view, and the chart table is positioned for comfortable night watches without climbing on deck. The helm station sits at the center of the boat with an ergonomic seat and tiller, keeping all maneuvers within reach. CE approval for 8 to 16 persons covers both private and charter-style interiors, and the Darnet Design cabin architecture distinguishes this generation from the original.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market, solar, AIS, watermaker, chartplotter, autopilot, lithium batteries, radar, inverter, self-tacking jib, asymmetric spinnaker, bimini, spinnaker, code zero, and life raft are commonly fitted. Often-seen additions include electric winches, heating, Starlink, gennaker, freezer, swim platform, dinghy davits, cockpit shower, and EPIRB. Air conditioning, hot water, circumnavigation kit, trampoline, and short-handed setup appear as less common owner upgrades. The 2019 standard addition of davits, bimini, and gennaker fittings means earlier boats may lack these unless retrofitted, and 2020 brought a CZone multiplexer for electrical control as a later-standard feature.
What to Inspect
The authority record for this model is sparse on defects, but a few design-specific items warrant a look. The draught of 1.25 / 2.05 m means daggerboard trunks and seals should be checked for wear, and the 20.52 m air draught governs any rig or antenna modifications. The 2018 structural change that lost nearly 500 kg using the same core materials as Gunboat cousins should be verified on boats built before that year for correct ergonomic storage and panel alignment. No documented flooding paths or drainage faults appear in the material reviewed, so inspection can focus on configuration year rather than systemic failure.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats typically appear in France, the United States, New Zealand, Grenada, French Polynesia, and Italy. For a buyer, the checklist is short and generation-specific: confirm whether extended hulls are standard (2017 onward) or optioned; verify 2019 davits/bimini/gennaker standard fitment on earlier hulls; check for the 2020 CZone multiplexer; and inspect daggerboard trunks given the variable draught. The Outremer 45 remains a light, narrow-hulled, central-helm cruiser whose used examples reward attention to refit year over concern for documented defects.
