2017 OUTREMER 51 “Alegria”

Carbon enhanced. Owner’s Version | World-cruising proven | Exceptionally equipped | US duty paid.

Meet “Alegria,” one of the best-equipped and upgraded Outremer 51s ever built. She has been loved and cared for by her owners, who are completing a full circumnavigation with the World ARC. Now in the final weeks of the journey, she will be arriving in Fort Lauderdale in a few short weeks.

This performance cruiser has done exactly what she was built to do—cross oceans, carry her crew safely, and deliver them around the world. Every system, upgrade, and spare onboard reflects that reality: she is not theoretical, she is proven.

If you are looking for an Outremer 51, this is a boat with a story—and a future just as big.

Alegria sports a carbon mast, carbon longeron, carbon bulkheads, a carbon bimini, and a carbon steering wheel.

The benchmark for blue-water cruising.

With a load capacity far greater than that of the Outremer 45, this best-selling family boat from the Outremer range, twice awarded European Yacht of the Year and Boat of the Year in the United States, is the benchmark cruising catamaran for families sailing around the world. Powerful yet easy, with unequaled resilience, it has proven itself time and again.

“Alegria” is not just well equipped—she is purpose built, upgraded, and proven. From enhanced carbon construction to lithium power, massive solar, redundant systems, and a sail inventory for every condition, she reflects an owner who prepared seriously for world cruising.

Now completing her World ARC circumnavigation and finishing her final leg after a Cape Town refit, she stands as one of the most capable and carefully prepared Outremer 51s afloat.

If you are looking for a blue-water catamaran with a real pedigree, this is it.

Mark Wattrus

By Mark Wattrus

Born and raised on the coast of South Africa—home to some of the world’s premier catamaran builders—Mark Wattrus was immersed in the marine lifestyle from an early age. His passion for the ocean first took shape through freedive spearfishing, where he trained under world record holder Trevor Hutton. That deep connection with the sea would eventually shape a global career both on deck and behind the scenes in the yacht industry. At just 18, Mark was awarded a bursary to earn his 200-Ton Captain’s License, and by 19, he had already skippered a 50ft catamaran to Madagascar through the Mozambican channel. Over the next decade, he logged multiple transatlantic and Indian Ocean crossings, and served aboard both high-performance sailing yachts and luxury catamarans. His hands-on sailing experience spans expedition charters, dive programs, delivery passages, and private liveaboard charters in the Seychelles, Madagascar, East Africa, and throughout the Caribbean—often alongside his wife, Halle, a professionally trained yacht chef. Mark’s technical proficiency was shaped in part by time spent in engine rooms learning under an Argentinian marine engineer. That early mentorship sparked a broader interest in marine systems, leading him to work closely with boatyards, shipyards, and manufacturers. He has since overseen major refits, supervised complex repair work, and most recently, managed the design, build, and successful delivery of two 57ft catamarans—guiding each project from concept to completion. As a professional yacht broker, Mark has developed a trusted reputation for navigating complex transactions with discretion, clarity, and care. He has facilitated the sale and purchase of catamarans across multiple continents, working closely with international clients, legal teams, surveyors, insurers, and shipyards. His deep understanding of contracts, marine documentation, flagging, and tax considerations ensures a seamless experience for buyers and sellers alike. Mark also holds a degree in Marketing and wrote his final thesis whilst sailing across the South Atlantic with his Halle. Whether you're looking to purchase a performance cruising catamaran, sell a liveaboard-ready vessel, or enter the charter market, Mark’s global network and specialist knowledge make him a valuable partner at every stage of the process. Mark is now based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with his wife Halle and their daughter Lily. When not sailing or working with clients, the family enjoys hiking and spearfishing in remote destinations.
