Business Details

After starting with the Skater 18 in 1974, Douglas Marine now offers more than 10 sizes of catamarans in various models for race & pleasure use. No catamaran builder has won more world & national championships in offshore racing or set more kilo speed records than Douglas Marine. Founded & led by Peter Hledin, Douglas Marine prides itself on being on the leading edge of technology. The Douglas, Michigan based company that covers 91,000 square feet was the first to perfect the use of vacuum-bagging technology, S-Glass, Kevlar, Epoxy Resins & other construction techniques in the high performance industry & we use those construction techniques on every boat we build. Douglas Marine has a full service rigging shop & we even build our own high quality trailers so we can deliver an exquisitely prepared turn-key package anywhere in the world.
