Business Details

The history of The PowerCat Group begins in 2001, when Andrew Brown, a career entrepreneur & composite manufacturing expert, bought into power catamaran company World Cat along with his business partner Chris Brockway. The two used their knowledge of modern manufacturing & management techniques to help the company grow. The secret of WorldCat's success lies in the way Andy & Chris have dedicated the company to giving back to the passionate World Cat customer base, hosting year-round customer events throughout the country. In 2009, the company grew significantly after the purchase of WorldCat's main competitor, Glacier Bay. With a 23-year history, Glacier Bay is the oldest catamaran manufacturer in the United States, & they've made the science of boating into an art with their high-end cruising boats. Andrew realized it was time to unite these 2 lines under one name, & The PowerCat Group was born. However, the company wasn't created just as an umbrella brand for 2 strong boating legacies: Andrew & Chris are dedicated to growing the overall catamaran market in the United States, & The PowerCat Group is on a mission to introduce boaters to the superior speed, stability, & comfort that cats offer.
