Whitacre Catamarans represents the next generation of American performance cruising multihulls — purpose-built for sailors who demand strength and simplicity.

Designed by Hal Whitacre Yacht Design and brought to life through a collaboration between Niche Watercraft, Big House Yachts and James Betts Enterprises, Whitacre blends advanced composite engineering with practical, real-world cruising functionality. The result is a semi-custom, limited-production catamaran that prioritizes structural integrity, serviceability and performance over unnecessary complexity.

Performance Composites. Intelligent Systems. Offshore Confidence.

In an era where high-performance multihulls often become overly complex and technology-heavy, Whitacre Catamarans takes a disciplined approach. Every design decision serves a purpose — enhancing efficiency and ease of ownership.

The flagship Whitacre 47 is constructed using proven epoxy E-glass and carbon fiber composite laminates, delivering a hull that is lighter, stiffer and stronger than conventional fiberglass construction. Hybrid energy integration and thoughtfully simplified onboard systems reduce maintenance demands while increasing long-term cruising independence.
