Catamarans

Why charter a catamaran?

A catamaran trades the heel and bite of a monohull for stability, deck space and shallow draft. Great for families and groups that prioritise the cockpit lifestyle over upwind sailing performance. The most-booked yacht type in our fleet, year after year.

Catamarans deliver the deck life — flat anchorages, sundeck, easy steps into the water. The trade-off is they point worse and feel slower in chop. Most-booked yacht type for families.

Decide between

Catamaran or sailboat?

The deck life or the helm life. Both right answers, depending on the crew.

You are here

Catamaran

Two hulls. Flat, spacious, family-friendly.

  • Flat under sail — no heel
  • Shallow draft (1.2 m) — close-in anchoring
  • Wide cockpit + sometimes flybridge
  • Twin diesels — forgiving docking
  • Less efficient upwind, slower in chop

Best for Families, mixed-experience groups, deck-life seekers.

Sailboat

Traditional yacht — heels, sails closer to wind.

  • 30-50% lower week-rate
  • Better upwind sailing
  • Heels 10-20° on a beam reach
  • Deeper draft (~1.8 m)
  • Narrower cockpit, less deck

Best for Couples + small groups who came for the sailing.

Catamaran questions

Asked and answered.

How many people can sleep on a catamaran?
6-12 depending on length. A standard 46 ft cat is 4 double cabins (8 berths) + saloon convertible (10). A 50 ft+ adds a fifth or sixth cabin.
Are catamarans easier to sail than monohulls?
Easier in some ways (no heel, forgiving twin-engine docking, big stable deck), harder in others (windage in cross-winds when manoeuvring, slower upwind). Net: similar skill level needed.
Can I bareboat a catamaran?
Yes — same licence as a sailboat (ICC + VHF or RYA Day Skipper). Some operators ask for prior catamaran experience or a checkout sail in marina; we flag any operator-specific rules in your quote.
Is a catamaran really more comfortable?
At anchor, yes — much more stable in swell. Under sail, depends: in light wind, more comfortable; in 20+ kts and a chop, less efficient but smoother feeling. Crucially, less seasickness.
