Cruising Cats USA is the country’s only major catamarans-only yacht dealership. We offer you a larger selection of new cats — sail or power — than any other company in the world: more than two-dozen different models. These includes models from 34’ to 74’ long, and from $75K to $3M. Our knowledgeable catamaran sales people are available to help you in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco Bay, and Hawaii. (Plus we offer delivery-and-commissioning services in Ft. Lauderdale, FL). The heads of each of our offices are well-experienced catamaran sailors.
Don Margraf — San Francisco Bay office manager. A longtime sailor, Don is the "technical 'go-to' guy" at CC/USA. He has personal, hands-on experience (coastal and offshore) with Lagoon, Fountaine Pajot and Gemini catamarans. He makes regular trips to the US and French factories, and KNOWS first-hand each model's strengths and weaknesses. (510) 261-2600. Doug Ewalt — Hawaiian manager, with partner, Gina Mangeiri. Doug has years of cat experience as a professional charter skipper in the Caribbean and the Pacific. Gina brings depth to their team with a background in business/yacht management. Doug & Gina are proud owners of a Lagoon 380, which Doug sailed from California to Hawaii. They also own and operate a lovely, 53-foot day-charter cat. Our "Hawaiian duo" offer catamaran classes and charters among Hawaii's scenic isles. Big Plus — Doug is an ASA certified instructor, licensed to offer ASA Multihull Certification courses to Hawaiian residents and visitors. Doug & Gina live on Oahu. (808) 255-5170. David & Patty Page — Portland, Oregon, reps: David Page has been an ardent sailor for many years and now owns a new Gemini 105Mc, which he considers a near-perfect boat for the rugged Columbia River region. The Gemini sails fast, higher to wind than most sailors would expect (thanks to her highly efficient centerboards). Retracted, these boards allow for shallow-draft “exploring” that let Gemini sailors go where no keel sailboat can. (360) 798-1850. Ft. Lauderdale, FL — If you live in the eastern U.S. we invite you to contact us, too. That’s because we offer a special “Have-Seabag / Will-Travel” commissioning process. That includes one or two experienced catamaran experts who fly to wherever you wish to take delivery of your new cat. They’re then ‘yours” to use for whatever time you need to launch your boat, teach you its various systems, and give you hands-on instruction in handling and cruising your new cat. This often takes place in Ft. Lauderdale, but we’ve overseen deliveries in New York City, the Chesapeake, Savannah and elsewhere along the Atlantic Coast. For that matter, nearly 10% of our buyers takes delivery in Europe. And our “Have-Seabag” crew has joined them there, too, offering the same full-time attention until each new owner feels comfortable with his or her new cat. Toll-free (877) 937-2287. |
