Since 1991
From humble beginnings in St Francis Bay, South Africa, St Francis Marine has grown into a globally recognized name in luxury performance catamarans. Our journey is one of passion, innovation, and unwavering commitment to quality. We build for serious cruising, elegance, and strength.
The Beginning
Founded in the early 1990s in St Francis Bay, South Africa, St Francis Marine was established by passionate boatbuilder Duncan Lethbridge. Our goal was to craft durable, comfortable bluewater catamarans capable of withstanding the world’s toughest oceans. The launch of the original St Francis 44 in 1991 marked the start of our journey towards excellence in yacht building.
Growth and Evolution
Over the decades, St Francis Marine has evolved from a small coastal boatyard into a global leader in luxury catamarans, driven by innovation, craftsmanship, and a passion for ocean exploration.
