Motorboats

Why charter a motorboat?

Motorboats are the day-charter favourite — fast hops between coves, easy docking, comfortable sleeping. Higher fuel cost than a sailboat (~3-5× per nm) but range and speed make 2-country itineraries practical.

Motorboats are the speed answer — 18-28 knots cruise opens up 2-country itineraries. Trade-off: higher fuel cost and a sportier feel that heels in turns.

Decide between

Motorboat or power cat?

Both are power. The hull shape decides the rest.

You are here

Motorboat (monohull)

Single hull. Sportier, faster.

  • 18-28 knots cruise
  • Cheaper per-night than a power cat
  • Heels in a turn — fun for sportier crews
  • Less deck space
  • Wide range from 32 ft sportsboats to 60 ft flybridges

Best for Couples + small groups prioritising speed + budget.

Power catamaran

Two hulls. Flat deck, family-friendly.

  • 12-18 knots cruise
  • Flat under power — no heeling
  • Same deck as a sailing cat (huge)
  • Shallow draft (1.1 m)
  • Higher week-rate

Best for Families + groups prioritising deck space.

Motorboat questions

Asked and answered.

How fast can I actually cruise?
Sustained 18-22 kts is comfortable for a flybridge motorboat. Sportier hulls go 25-30 kts. Budget for fuel — at 22 kts you're burning ~60-90 L/h.
Do motorboats heel?
Slightly in turns — 5-10° max. Not the heel of a sailboat. Crews who get seasick on monohull sailboats are usually fine on motorboats.
Can I one-way a motorboat across the Med?
Yes — speed makes it practical. We do Split → Naples weeks (5 days at sea, 2 days lay days).
Are motorboats good for kids?
Yes — fast hops mean less time at sea, more time anchored. Flybridge is great for spotting things, dinghy off the swim platform.
