Outremer 55-2 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for an Outremer 55-2 means looking at a 2021-era cruising catamaran of 54 feet 9 inches and 27 feet 2 inches beam, designed by VPLP with styling by Le Quément and interiors by Darnet, and built by Outremer Yachting as the model bridging the 5X and 51. She is a daggerboard fractional sloop set up for short-handed bluewater use, with a swing helm pedestal and an electrically self-sufficient claim from the builder rooted in a 2.3kW coachroof solar array and electric winches rather than hydraulics.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both three- and four-cabin versions are available, and ex-charter examples are common. The rear of the saloon opens fully to the cockpit, so any buyer should note that charter use can be harder on the boat than private ownership. The optional four double-cabin arrangement trades some saloon openness for sleeping capacity, a real consideration for families or crewed plans.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Most boats on the market carry a strong cruising inventory. Commonly fitted systems include solar, lithium batteries, a watermaker, chartplotter, AIS, radar, and an inverter — the energy and navigation core that lets the boat live up to the builder's self-sufficiency claim. Electric winches are standard-weight-saving equipment rather than a rarity, and a hardtop with bimini and dinghy davits appears often, supporting a rigid solar and tender platform. Often-seen upgrades include autopilot, Starlink, a freezer, and a short-handed setup, while a bow thruster, trampoline, or cockpit shower is a less common owner addition. Buyers should weigh the hardtop-and-davits cluster heavily, since it enables the solar and dinghy handling the design assumes.
What to Inspect
The coachroof is engineered lighter yet stiffer with more openings than earlier builds, so inspect those openings and their surrounds for any stress or water ingress after charter cycles. Confirm the swing helm pedestal's movement and lock-down, since it is a moving structural element between side-deck and hard-top positions. Verify the electric winch system against the lighter-weight design intent, and check the 2.3kW solar coachroof array for panel delamination or mounting fatigue.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These cats typically appear in France, Montenegro, Denmark, the United Kingdom, and Grenada. For a buyer, the checklist is straightforward: confirm cabin count and whether ex-charter; test the saloon-to-cockpit open interface; verify solar, lithium, watermaker, and electric winch function; inspect coachroof openings and swing pedestal; and check for hardtop, davits, and short-handed rigging as expected cruising equipment.
