YOT Power Catamarans expands to US

YOT 36

The YOT Power Catamarans brand is partnering with Iconic Marine Group in the USA, as YOT’s parent company, Catana Group, looks to open up new opportunities in the American yachting market.

Iconic Marine Group is headed by CEO Fred Ross and operates an established distribution network in the United States. Catana Group, based in France, has been designing and making catamarans for four decades. It launched the YOT brand in 2023 with the idea to design ‘innovative catamarans’ that will ‘bring a breath of fresh air to the yachting sector.’

“We are extremely excited about our partnership with Iconic Marine Group,” says Boris Compagnon, Catana Group’s sales director and marketing manager. “Iconic Marine Group’s reputation in the industry and their commitment to excellence are a perfect match for our values. Together, we look forward to providing customers with ever more innovative products and world-class services.”

Ross adds: “We’re not just launching a new line of yachts; we’re setting a new standard for Luxury, Excitement and Services in the marine industry. With YOT Power Catamarans, we’re bringing the future of boating directly to our customers, offering an experience that’s as unparalleled as our vessels. I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead.”

The first YOT 36 and 41 feet are expected to arrive in August 2024 and will be displayed at this year’s Fort Lauderdale Boat Show (FLIBS), which runs from 30 October to 3 November 2024.
