CATANA GROUP announces the signing of a strategic partnership with d'Albora Yacht Brokers, appointed as the official distributor of the BALI Catamarans and YOT Power Catamarans brands in Australia.
This collaboration marks a new milestone in the group's international development within a particularly dynamic market that perfectly aligns with the DNA of its brands: innovation, lifestyle at sea, open spaces, and premium experiences.
Through this partnership, d'Albora Yacht Brokers will oversee the distribution and representation of the BALI Catamarans and YOT Power Catamarans ranges across the entire Australian territory. Recognized as Australia's largest premium marina network, d'Albora operates 17 marinas, 10 boatyards, 1 shipyard, and 8 brokerage offices throughout the country.
Beyond distribution, this unique network represents a major advantage for future owners. In the Australian market, where marina berths are highly sought after, access to d'Albora's network of 17 marinas is a significant asset, offering CATANA GROUP clients comprehensive berthing solutions, services, and support across the country's key cruising destinations.
Commercial operations will be led by Adam Hickey, Sales Manager at d'Albora Yacht Brokers, alongside Christophe Vanek, General Manager - East Coast Marina and International Yacht Broker. Julien Pouteau, Managing Director of d'Albora, will also support the development of CATANA GROUP brands in Australia.
This partnership will be officially presented during the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, starting on May 21 on the Gold Coast, Queensland.
For more than 10 years, BALI Catamarans has been revolutionizing the cruising catamaran market through innovative concepts focused on space, conviviality, and onboard comfort. With its large open spaces, seamless flow between interior and exterior areas, iconic rigid forward cockpit, and expansive relaxation zones, BALI perfectly meets the expectations of the Australian market, where boating is primarily experienced as a lifestyle centered around anchorages, wide-open spaces, and outdoor living.
The upcoming arrival of the BALI CATSMART in Australia will further strengthen the brand's presence in this strategic market.
At the same time, YOT Power Catamarans continues its international expansion with a unique vision of the power catamaran. Designed and built by CATANA GROUP, YOT embodies a new generation of motor catamarans combining contemporary design, spacious living areas, stability, and performance.
Originally conceived for 100% motorized use, the YOT range reinvents the traditional motoryacht experience through the unique advantages of the catamaran platform: more space, smoother onboard circulation, greater stability at sea, and a constant connection with the ocean.
The current range includes the YOT 36 and YOT 41, two models designed to deliver a new onboard lifestyle experience through innovative layouts and generous outdoor living spaces. The future YOT53 will soon complete this vision with a new approach to luxury and life at sea.
Boris Compagnon, Sales & Marketing Director of CATANA GROUP, stated: "We are delighted to collaborate with d'Albora Yacht Brokers to strengthen the presence of our brands in the Australian market. Australia represents an exceptional playground for our sailing and power catamarans, with a boating culture focused on lifestyle, open spaces, and outdoor living — perfectly aligned with the DNA of BALI and YOT."
Christophe Vanek added: "BALI represents a new generation of catamarans: innovative, comfortable, and perfectly suited to modern boating lifestyles. We are very pleased to further introduce the brand to the Australian market and support future owners throughout their boating experience."
Adam Hickey, Sales Manager at d'Albora Yacht Brokers, commented: "When we discovered the YOT models earlier this year, we were immediately impressed by their design, spaciousness, and onboard experience. We are convinced that the Australian market will enthusiastically embrace this fresh and innovative approach to power boating."
With this new partnership, CATANA GROUP continues its international expansion and confirms its ambition to offer customers innovative, premium boating experiences fully dedicated to the art of living at sea.
