ABOUT BALANCE CATAMARANS

Founded by World Champion catamaran racer and author Phillip Berman, Balance Day Charter Catamarans are crafted from the years we have spent working with a range of our day charter customers in Hawaii, Barbados, St. Lucia and the Virgin Islands.

After managing the sale of hundreds of catamarans over the past decade – new and used – we’ve learned how day catamarans are built properly, how they break and fall apart, how they sail and power in the most challenging conditions, which systems tend to work and fail, and how they are “really” used by charter operators and their customers.

We’ve concluded that the day catamarans currently offered by our primary competitors are overpriced and not robustly enough constructed for the daily abuse a true day charter catamaran experiences.

Balance day charter catamarans result directly from the enormous fund of experience we have gained through working with charter operators for over two decades. There really is no substitute for experience and the direct relationships we have had with charter operators has given us the invaluable feedback we’ve relied upon in the design of each Balance day charter catamaran that we build. We build day charter cats in a range of sizes and prices to serve the needs of a wide variety of charter operators. We also build custom day charter catamarans of any size, up to 120 feet.

OUR SUCCESS

Balance Catamarans was founded in 2012 and has launched four 60 footers, nine 45 footers, six 52 footers, and one 76 footer. Our catamarans are sailing on every major ocean in the world and have met with critical praise by every major yachting publication. The Balance 526 was the winner of Cruising World Magazines 2017 Import Yacht of the Year (the grand prize) as well Best Multihull Over 50 feet.
