Catana was founded in 1984 as a company entirely dedicated to the construction of fiberglass composite cruising catamarans.
Catana designs are on the performance-oriented side of cruising: in 1997/88, Catana was one of the first yards to equip its whole range with carbon fiber masts, and all boats were built contain Twaron, an aramid (Kevlar) fiber which has high impact resistance.
In 1999, the Catana 471 won a Boat of the Year award in the category "Best Cruising Multihull" by Cruising World magazine in the United States.
In 2003, Catana, greatly affected by the weak dollar, collapsed on the international market. The company was bought by Olivier Poncin and relaunched as part of the Poncin Group.
