CatanaGroup Launches SEATY: A New Floating Lifestyle Concept
Known for its innovation in performance sailing catamarans, CatanaGroup has announced the launch of SEATY, a new brand dedicated to modular, floating homes designed for residential and professional use on protected waterways. The initiative represents a strategic diversification for the French builder, long known for its Catana and Bali cruising catamarans.
SEATY is built on a catamaran-style structure and designed for placement in bays, harbors, lakes, rivers, and canals. Each module is fully self-contained, configurable, and intended to offer a sustainable alternative to traditional real estate. Available in both residential and commercial layouts, SEATY units are being marketed to individuals, tourism operators, and businesses interested in waterfront living or working — without the need for permanent mooring infrastructure.
“SEATY was created in response to growing demand in the outdoor leisure market,” said Boris Compagnon, sales and marketing director for CatanaGroup. “It reflects what we already do best: catamarans for enjoying aquatic environments, whether at sea or on inland waterways.”
The SEATY platform draws on CatanaGroup’s more than 40 years of experience in marine design, construction, and systems integration. Built at the group’s production site in Aveiro, Portugal — a facility known for high-quality composites and precision manufacturing — the modules are expected to deliver reliable and scalable production.
SEATY will be unveiled to the public at the 2025 Grand Pavois La Rochelle Boat Show, one of Europe’s largest in-water shows. According to the company, this first unit represents only the beginning, with long-term ambitions to lead the global floating home market.
For CatanaGroup, which has seen strong growth in recent years and now operates five production sites worldwide, SEATY is both an extension of its marine innovation portfolio and a response to broader trends in how people live, work, and connect with nature.
