Catway - Northman Partner — Switzerland

Polish-built boats for Alpine waters

Sailing Kairos works in partnership with Catway, the company that represents Northman Yachts in France and Switzerland. Two main ranges: Maxus for sailing yachts & Northman Trawler for motor yachts.

Kairos, our Maxus 26

Why Northman

A choice that was never a coincidence

Kairos, our own boat, is a Maxus 26 — and not our first Northman. We started with a Maxus 24 EVO, and upgraded to the 26 in early 2026, for the simplest of reasons: nothing else on the market matches Northman's quality for the price. Founded in Poland in 1995, the yard grew from a small family business into a name recognised across Europe — a Maxus 22 has twice circumnavigated the globe. In 2022, the Maxus 35 became the first ocean-class sailing yacht the yard designed and built entirely in-house.

From an easy-to-tow day-boat to a full-comfort cruising trawler, every model is available for a sea trial on Lake Geneva, departing from Le Bouveret.
