Mexican-Built Catamarans Sailing Across the Caribbean | Contoy Catamarans

Naval Engineering · Catamaranes Contoy · Yucatán, Mexico

We don't build boats to stay in port. We build them to go far.

From our factory in Yucatán, every catamaran we build begins a journey that goes far beyond our facilities. Today, vessels manufactured by Catamaranes Contoy sail in destinations such as Cancún, Riviera Maya, Aruba, Jamaica, Bermuda, St. Vincent, St. Lucia, and other points across the Caribbean.

Behind every vessel lie hundreds of hours of engineering, design, lamination, installation, testing, and specialized work, all carried out in Mexico.

Catamaran construction in Mexico

Mexico has a strong maritime tradition, especially along the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. However, the manufacturing of commercial and tourist catamarans is a highly specialized sector that demands expertise in naval engineering, composite materials, and advanced construction processes.

In Yucatán, Catamaranes Contoy has developed vessels designed specifically for the operating conditions of the Caribbean, prioritizing safety, efficiency, and durability.

Mexican-built catamarans operating in the Caribbean

Caribbean waters present particular challenges: high temperatures, constant sun exposure, saline environments, and intensive tourist operations. For this reason, vessels must be able to offer:

✓ High structural strength	✓ Spacious passenger areas
✓ Low maintenance	✓ Operational efficiency
✓ Safety and stability while navigating

Today, vessels built in Mexico operate in some of the most important tourist destinations in the Caribbean:

Cancún	Riviera Maya	Aruba	Jamaica
Bermuda	St. Vincent	St. Lucia	Bahamas

Each destination represents a new story, and a new test of what Mexican engineering can achieve.

Competing in an industry with over a century of history

The global catamaran industry has historically been dominated by manufacturers with decades, even centuries, of experience. Building vessels in Mexico and competing internationally means taking on significant challenges in design, production, quality, and service.

At the same time, it's an opportunity to prove that Mexican engineering and manufacturing can compete in international markets and operate successfully in some of the most demanding destinations in the Caribbean.

Mexican engineering for nautical tourism

The growth of maritime tourism in the Caribbean has increased demand for vessels that are reliable, efficient, and built to meet the needs of tour operators.

Catamarans built in Yucatán do more than carry passengers — they represent the Mexican industry's ability to design, manufacture, and export high-value-added products.

Proudly made in Mexico

Every catamaran that leaves our factory carries far more than materials and components. It carries Mexican talent, engineering, experience, and the commitment to build vessels capable of sailing far from home.

Because we don't build boats to stay in port. We build them to go far.
