Cat Marine supplies propulsion and onboard power systems built specifically for yachts, covering propulsion engines, auxiliary power, generator sets, hybrid and electric systems, integrated supervisory controls, digital technologies, and lifecycle support.

The range is intended for builders, captains, and owners who need to manage vessel power as one system rather than as separate components. Global support is part of the offer, so yachts can be commissioned and maintained wherever the vessel operates.

The Cat C32B propulsion engine is a compact V12 package with high power density and ratings from 2,025 to 2,433 mhp. Strong acceleration and the power-to-package ratio support speed, efficiency, and layout flexibility in yachting applications where performance and packaging both matter. This engine sits at the high-performance end of the Cat Marine yachting portfolio.

For onboard electrical power, the Cat C2.2B generator set provides 50 Hz ratings from 20 to 27 ekW in a compact package intended for straightforward yacht integration. A sound-enclosed option supports comfort loads and mission-critical systems while supporting a quieter onboard experience. The set is positioned for dependable auxiliary power rather than propulsion.

The MPC100 Propulsion Control System gives Cat-powered yachts intuitive command with built-in redundancy and flexible configuration options. Single- and twin-propeller applications are supported, and the system is aimed at simplifying operation without reducing capability. Builders and owners can configure controls around the vessel’s propulsion arrangement while keeping the interface direct.

Cat Concierge adds a direct one-call support channel to a dedicated team of experts. The service coordinates routine maintenance and resolves urgent technical issues, connecting owners, captains, and builders to support before, during, and after a voyage.

Cat Marine also supports sportfishing applications, including tournament boats, custom builds, and offshore crews, with marine propulsion engines, generator sets, controls, repower support, and dealer service. The yachting focus of the company is the complete vessel power system: propulsion, auxiliary power, controls, digital technologies, and service through the life of the yacht.
