Dean Catamarans

Redefining the core values of boat building: Safety, quality, comfort, after sales service, passion for product, innovation, pride & value for money... because we care!

Dean Catamarans has a proud 27 year history of catamaran building in South Africa and in fact is not only the oldest catamaran builder in South Africa but also regarded as one of the world's big 5 builders. Over the years we have delivered 320 yachts to customers stretching across the globe. The father and son team, Mr. Peter Jesse Dean and Mr. Peter Mills Dean, founders and owners of Dean Catamarans have and continue to impose their core value systems: Safety, quality, comfort, after sales service, passion for product, innovation, pride and value for money...because we care!

Coconut Cruise Club - we are excited to announce that we have developed and are introducing a Yacht Co-Ownership Program under the name of Coconut Cruise Club. This innovative program places emphasis on yacht ownership as an investment with the pleasure of sailing as a by-product. Our program is ideally suited to sail boat lovers who simply do not have the time to enjoy perennial sailing not to mention the cost effectiveness of co-ownership linked to a revenue stream that can offer hard currency returns in excess of 10% pa.

Dean Catamarans is a member of the South African Boat Builders Council and the Cape Town Boat Building & Technology Initiative. Mr. Peter Jesse Dean has been awarded a Merit Award for long service to the industry and Peter Mills Dean sits on the Board of Directors of the South African Boat Builders Export Council. Dean Catamarans are the pioneers of catamaran building in South Africa and remain as committed to the industry that they entered 31 years ago. Despite the global economic meltdown, Dean Catamarans has not only managed to weather the storm but has been busy defining ways in which it can unlock value and provide current and future Dean boat owners with quality and competitively priced custom hand built yachts. During the difficult times Dean Catamarans appropriated a substantial amount of cash reserves to new product development the result of which is the stunning new D5000 sail catamaran that boasts sexy sophisticated lines, dynamic interior and fantastic sailing ability. To this end we are confident that our strategy to grow our business will be of benefit to the yachting industry as a whole and in this regard we are pleased to announce that we have re-engineered our company and have also developed value added services that will be of benefit to our current and future boat owners.
