Van Cat 25

The Catamaran Inspired by the Camper Van

Designed by naval architect Gildas Plessis and developed with Kaori Concept, the Van Cat 25 aims to bring the spirit of the camper van to recreational boating.

Measuring 25'1" (7.65 m) overall, this compact catamaran offers a simple, modular approach to coastal cruising, combining multihull comfort with an accessible price point.

Its interior is based on interchangeable modules, allowing the boat to evolve according to the owner's needs. Despite its compact dimensions, the Van Cat 25 offers up to three double cabins, a saloon accommodating five to six people, a galley, a bathroom with shower and generous storage space. Its shallow draft and fixed mini-keels provide easy access to shallow anchorages, while the boat has been designed for straightforward handling.

The project is currently being developed as a sailing version equipped with inboard electric propulsion and transom-hung rudders, while a 100% power version is also under study. Kaori Concept will present the Van Cat 25 project at the next Grand Pavois La Rochelle.
