Cure Marine has always been synonymous with high-quality, high-performance cruising catamarans, and we are excited to share news that will elevate our brand even further. We have formed a strategic joint venture with McConaghy Yachts, an undisputed leader in the world of high-performance sailing vessels.

This is the company that built the America's Cup AC40s and championship racers like Wild Oats XI and Alfa Romeo. By combining our strengths, we will leverage McConaghy's world-class manufacturing and advanced composite technology to redefine the performance multihull market. Our shared goal is simple: to make Cure Marine the global leader.

To complement this partnership, we are expanding our lineup with two new models: the Cure 48 and the Cure 68. Like the Cure 55, these vessels will be built with the same design and manufacturing philosophy to deliver uncompromising performance and quality. More details and collateral for both new models will be available soon, and we are excited to discuss these models at the Annapolis Sail Boat Show in early October.

How this benefits you:

  • Superior Expertise: Your vessel will be built in a dedicated area of McConaghy's Zhuhai factory. This partnership allows us to tap into their deep expertise in composites and design, ensuring an even higher level of quality.
  • Convenient Delivery: You will have the option to take delivery of your vessel in either Hong Kong or shipped out to your desired location globally.
  • Seamless Process: Your build process and communication will remain unchanged. You will continue to receive updates, and the team you know—Ed, Carl, and Ian—will still be your dedicated points of contact.
This new collaboration is a testament to our commitment to building the best vessels on the water. We look forward to sharing more updates with you soon.
