Description

Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing was founded  twenty years ago, and has since developed into a fully fledged design and manufacturing facility for ocean-going craft, specialising in the building of power and sailing catamarans.

The company, located in Cape Town, has a factory ideally located within close proximity to the harbour and can cater for the construction and launching of vessels of up to 30 m in length. An abnormally high roof structure provides for in situ fitting of flybridges and electronic antennae, thereby allowing a completed vessel to be launched once it leaves the factory floor.

The company management, including numerous members of staff, has extensive experience at sea, both in power and in sail. With this experience, all of which is kept current, clients are assured of first hand advice during the specification build up, of their chosen vessel. In most instances company staff  handle the delivery of the vessel by sea, and frequently use this as a training and familiarisation voyage for the client.

Two Oceans Marine, in addition to its own line of well respected power catamarans - 23 ft to 32 ft with a new 34 ft almost ready for production - has successfully produced custom-built power and sailing catamarans designed by well known naval architects. Vessels, ranging from 43 ft to 70 ft, have been launched, and currently operate all over the world. These vessels include: a 75 ft commercial ferry designed by Bob Van Niekerk, 50 ft sailing catamarans - Open Ocean 500’s, designed by Alex Simonis: a 47 ft, high performance sailing catamaran, and a range of powered catamarans designed by John Shuttleworth: a 57 ft cruising catamaran designed by Anthony Key and numerous 43 ft high powered patrol boats.

The live aboard power catamarans, designed by John Shuttleworth – “powershuttles’ have been extensively modified to cope with the demanding sea conditions experienced during deliveries off the South African coast. These modifications have been successful and new vessels are continuing to be built. Both options of power are offered, viz, Inboard, or Outboard. As the vessels were specifically designed to operate with outboard power their performance is totally acceptable and has exceeded design expectations. Outboard power has definite practical advantages, over the customary diesel inboards, for vessels operating in remote areas of the continent, as engines can easily be rotated, or replaced, without any significant vessel downtime.

2010 will be an exciting year with 2 new custom builds already being started - a 63 ft Sailing Cat and a 70 ft expedition Power Cat both being designed by Anton Du Toit.
