Just like the Outremer 64, the future flagship designed by the naval architects at VPLP and due to be unveiled at the 2027 Cannes Boat Show, every interior we design is unique. The interior fittings must reflect the DNA of the Outremer shipyard, whilst embodying the distinct personality of each model and its position within the range. By then, the Outremer family will have been expanded with the Outremer 48, unveiled at the International Multihull Show 2026, followed by the Outremer 57 a year later in April 2027. Both are also designed by Darnet Design, as have all Outremer catamarans since 2008. What they will have in common, however, is the contemporary yet timeless elegance that has built the firm’s reputation over the past quarter of a century. But behind the style, we never lose sight of function; the lines must also serve ergonomics, the perceived quality and richness of a material are always suited to marine use, and storage volumes are designed with a specific sailing programme in mind. Proud to be both designers and sailors, our creations always embody every aspect of the term ‘Design’, form is only meaningful if it serves a purpose.

Whether monohull or multihull, even on a large vessel, the interior and exterior are closely intertwined. Advocating for the fusion of interior and cockpit spaces – particularly in the catamarans we design – Darnet Design’s influence has naturally extended to the exterior styling. Our long-standing partner, Privilège Marine, therefore asked us in 2018, in addition to the interior design of their catamarans which we were already undertaking, to enhance the exterior lines of the Privilège Signature 580, and subsequently the Signature 650 (above), in collaboration with the Lombard agency for the naval architecture. For the Explocat 52, after we had designed the interiors, the Garcia Yachts shipyard asked us to propose a different deck plan and helm station. Soon, a range of Power Cats—sleek and attractive—will be unveiled by a new multihull brand that has entrusted Darnet Design with both the interior design and the exterior styling. This latter activity now accounts for a third of the agency’s workload, with staff continuing to draw inspiration from the sculptural lines of the Starlight 106M superyacht project adorning the walls. Bringing something new, innovating in form and function, finding the right proportions and offering the right boat at the right time. “A boat is an object of desire, a dream that one acquires” reminds Franck Darnet.
