At Off Piste Marine, we build the Endurance series with one goal: to create the most capable aluminium explorer catamaran for serious offshore adventures. Aluminium offers the strength, safety, and performance required to go further — and stay out longer. Three things every aluminium explorer catamaran must offer for long-range adventure.

In this video, James visits Snijtec in the Netherlands, where the hull components of our first Endurance 110L were precision cut. This is where the journey begins — turning flat marine-grade aluminium sheets into a strong, ocean-ready explorer vessel.

Aluminium offers unique advantages over fiberglass and composites. It’s lighter, stronger, easier to repair, and better suited to harsh, remote environments. That’s why high-latitude expedition yachts, military vessels, and serious offshore workboats choose aluminium.

Our Endurance 110L is designed for extended ocean passages, with a rugged hull that can handle the unknown. The cutting process at Snijtec uses CNC-guided systems for millimetre accuracy. This ensures every piece of the structure fits perfectly, reducing build time and increasing reliability.

This is just the beginning of the build. Follow along as Endurance takes shape — from cut parts to complete explorer catamaran.
