Catamaran Builder Indonesia — Stable Multi-Hull Vessels

Our catamaran construction services deliver stable, spacious multi-hull vessels perfect for charter operations, long-distance cruising, and day trip businesses. We build sailing catamarans and power catamarans from 10m to 25m+ in fiberglass, composite, and aluminum.

Why Catamaran?

• Stability: Minimal rolling — ideal for passengers who get seasick on monohulls
• Space: Wide beam provides 50% more living space than equivalent monohull
• Shallow Draft: Access anchorages and beaches that deeper yachts cannot reach
• Speed: Power catamarans achieve higher speeds with less fuel than equivalent monohulls
• Safety: Dual hull redundancy and positive buoyancy

Catamaran Types

• Sailing Catamarans 10-20m: Cruising and charter vessels
• Power Catamarans 10-25m: Fast ferry, tour boat, and luxury cruiser
• Dive Catamarans: Stable platform for diving operations
• Day Charter Cats: High-capacity passenger vessels for island hopping

Our Catamaran Construction Process

Every catamaran construction project at BCI follows structured milestones from consultation through design, engineering, construction, and sea trials with transparent communication and weekly updates.

Design and Engineering

Your project begins with consultation to define requirements, use, area, budget, and timeline. Naval architects develop designs including arrangements, hull lines, and specifications. Options for materials, propulsion, and interiors are presented and refined. Structural calculations, stability analysis, and drawings are submitted to classification for approval before construction begins.

Construction and Quality

Construction proceeds through milestones with classification surveys. Quality control inspects materials and methods at every stage. Weekly reports with photos keep you informed. Marine systems — propulsion, electrical, plumbing, navigation, safety, HVAC — installed by certified technicians. Interior joinery uses premium Indonesian hardwoods.

Environmental Responsibility

Boat Construction Indonesia is committed to environmentally responsible practices. We source hardwoods from certified sustainable forestry operations, manage waste and emissions from our shipyard facilities in compliance with Indonesian environmental regulations, and advise clients on hull coatings and antifouling systems that minimise marine environmental impact. Our traditional wooden construction methods are inherently low-carbon compared to energy-intensive composite and metal fabrication processes, making Phinisi and wooden vessel construction an environmentally conscious choice.
