Privilege catamarans have been considered to be among the very best of the French boats for many years. Back in the early 90’s, Privilege was the centerpiece of all charter cats, and their boats were strong and elegant.

Privilege Catamaran’s outstanding pedigree, dating back 36 years, remains unmatched as arguably the world’s finest cruising catamaran to be produced in the world. Built to the highest standards and for discerning, uncompromising owners, they represent the very best one desires in every aspect of their design and build and all the way to the finishing touches.

For a bit of background, the company was created in 1985 by internationally renowned sailor Phillipe Jeantot (founder of the Vendee Globe yacht race). Based on his unequalled ocean sailing experience and profound understanding of the dynamics of ocean condition, particularly for sailing vessels versus hull design, Jeantot set out to design catamarans who would set a new benchmark in the world of multihull sailing, with an obsession for perfection which applied from construction quality and stability, while at the same time combining comfort, luxury, liveability, durability and without compromising on performance, which is surprisingly outstanding for a yacht without daggerboards, but which elongated transoms improves upwind sailing performance, as well as minimize the dreaded “hobby-horsing” in a short “chop” typical of more stubby modern multihull designs.

Built in France, in the heart of the world’s most dynamic yacht building area at Les Sables d’Olonne, Privilege Catamaran’s reputation for excellence quickly grew to international proportions. They were already industry leader by 1989.

Unlike boats built primarily to satisfy the inexhaustible demand for the charter industry, Privilege addresses a diametrically opposed end of the market, with each boat individually tailored and each and every one of them a statement in itself: luxury on the ocean, superb stability, reliability, safety, performance and durability.

Step aboard and you will immediately witness for yourself the Privilege pledge for perfection, carefully handcrafted with the finest materials which will sustain life on the ocean’s harsh environment for years ahead without a blemish, and which will undoubtably satisfy your highest demands for luxury and exclusivity.

Aboard S/V Sisu: A 2022 Privilege 510 Signature Tour

Some catamarans are sold on their layout drawings. Others have to be walked. Broker Mark Wattrus spends the better part of a full-length video walking S/V Sisu, a 2022 Privilege 510 Signature, and the impression that builds is of a boat that has been thought about hard by an owner who actually used her — including several Atlantic crossings with the captain who commissioned her from the factory and has been aboard since new. That captain, Wattrus notes at the outset, knows Privilege’s build and after-sales team and remains a genuine resource for a buyer.…

Privilege 510 Signature: Inside S/V Sisu, a 2022 Bluewater Cat

The builder’s own walkthrough of the Privilege Signature 510 makes its priorities clear within the first minute: craftsmanship, attention to detail, and — as the narration puts it — “the joy of sailing.” This particular example, the 2022 S/V Sisu, is offered by Mark Wattrus, and the video gives a thorough sense of what a 50-foot Privilege catamaran sets out to do. Designed to cross oceans Three decades of collaboration with designer Marc Lombard underpin the Signature 510’s hull, and the sailplan is serious: an 88-square-metre fat-head mainsail and up to 120 square metres of gennaker.…

Some boats are sold before they’ve really been anywhere. S/V SCOUT is not one of them.

The bones are classic Privilege: 48 feet of length, a generous 27-foot beam, five cabins and four heads.…

In this tour, broker Wiley Sharp of Catamaran Central steps aboard S/V Tehiya, a 2009 Privilege 615 Owner’s Version lying in Martha’s Vineyard, and makes his case plainly: the 615 is, in his words, one of the best cruising platforms ever built — an excellent sailing boat, robustly built, with redundant systems found throughout.

Aboard S/V SCOUT: A Family’s 1992 Privilege 482 Catamaran

Some boats reveal themselves best when you can see how a family actually lives aboard. That’s the case with S/V SCOUT, a 1992 Privilege 482 that owners Nate and Megan walk through candidly — showing not just the boat’s bones, but the modifications that have made this 48-footer a genuine long-range home for four. At 48 feet in length and nearly 27 feet of beam, the Privilege 482 is a serious platform. The owners describe her as fundamentally a go-anywhere boat: thick fiberglass hulls, generous fuel and water tankage, and the stability that comes with a wide beam.…
