Catamaran Charter

A catamaran, often called a 'cat', is a multi-hulled vessel, which means it combines two or more hulls, also known as pontoons. Its characteristics can be compared to the ones of sailing yachts which are monohulls. Its two-hull design offers a higher degree of stability in comparison to monohull sailing yachts. Furthermore, a catamaran, as well as a sailing yacht, is propelled by wind power but can sail a lot faster due to its needle-like shaped monohulls or multihulls.  

Other than by sails, catamarans can be powered only by an engine which are called power catamarans. It thus represents an innovation in modern sailing and makes the catamaran charter more comfortable and pleasurable than ever before.

Catamarans are exceedingly popular among yachtsmen because they offer a good balance between sailing performance and comfort. There are many benefits of chartering one. The first being its versatility, meaning that catamaran charter is great for all sorts of social gatherings that vary from family vacations to team-buildings or even parties. Other than that, they give you an incredible degree of stability thanks to the two-hull design, which helps in reducing seasickness.

Catamarans can achieve higher speed and they offer more space on deck and inside meaning that catamaran charter is perfect for larger groups. No-sail designed catamarans, i.e., power catamarans, offer grand sundecks and sky lounges with a panoramic view of the sea. They also deliver easy access to the water, which is great for practising all kinds of water sports. Catamarans usually have smaller drafts and can sail in shallow bays or closer to the beach, leading to more privacy. The most important thing is that you don’t have to be a professional sailor in order to manoeuvre the multihulled boat. Quite the opposite, boats with two hulls are quite easy to handle because of their twin propellers and lightweight.

Catamarans and sailboats are equally easy to manoeuvre. The main difference between the two is their design because of which people have certain preferences. In general, catamarans have more deck space. However, the distance between winches and mooring lines is longer because of the two hulls that sailing cats have.  

The advantage of catamaran charter is that catamarans have two separate engines which allow you to easily turn the boat around. On the other hand, some find it difficult to navigate them precisely due to their size. Because of this, the overview of the catamaran can be poor.

Catamarans have an eye-catching exterior due to a two-hull design but are very impressive on the inside as well. As it was already mentioned, there are two types of cats – one that is propelled by the power of wind – a sailing catamaran and the other that is powered by an engine – a power catamaran. A no-sail designed catamaran is more spacious since there are no sails that could take up the deck space or block the view. As for the exterior, they have a flybridge with a helm station, which offers a 360-degree view of the sea, a spacious main seating area, and an easily accessible sunbathing platform for an unforgettable catamaran charter experience.

Catamaran's interior is amazingly comfortable and stylish.  An open floor plan offers a well-equipped L-shaped galley connected to a dining area consisting of a comfortable settee and a table. Behind the settee, there are usually glass doors that open to an aft cockpit where you can watch sunsets and sunrises. Below deck, you can find cabins with double beds and bathrooms, i.e., guest staterooms, that are placed in each hull and whose number depends on the size of the yacht. Overall, one of the catamaran's biggest advantages is its open layout which provides easy communication between guests on deck and the ones below, as well as an awesome panoramic view that you can enjoy from every part of the boat during your catamaran charter.

There are two types of catamarans that are available for rent - a sailing catamaran, propelled by sails and a power catamaran, powered by an engine.
A power catamaran is an innovative boat that has exchanged its traditional sails for an engine. It is similar to a motor yacht, but still offers a unique sailing experience. A power catamaran yields a great degree of stability thanks to the two-hull design - it can achieve higher speeds, it is more efficient in fuel consumption, and it offers more space than a sailing catamaran.

Catamaran charter is not expensive considering catamarans comfort and all the advantages they come with. It all depends on when and where you are chartering your catamaran. It also depends on whether the boat is newer or an older model. Catamarans, like other types of boats, can be chartered as bareboat, skippered, and crewed.

With numerous amazing places all around the world, choosing a vacation spot can be quite difficult. When yachting, you have no limits, but you must consider the type of boat you are sailing on, because not all are suitable for every destination. The most popular sailing areas for catamaran charter are the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.
