Why Your Next Charter Should Be on a Catamaran (12 of Our Favorites)
Clients ask us the same question every week: “Should we book a motor yacht, a sailing yacht, or a catamaran?”
If you want the speed of a motor yacht, you book a motor yacht. If you want the classic romance of leaning into the wind, you book a monohull sailing yacht.
But if your priorities are massive living spaces, zero seasickness, and the ability to drop anchor in the shallowest, most exclusive bays? You need a catamaran boat.
Over the last few years, the demand for luxury catamarans has skyrocketed. It is easy to see why. Because it has two hulls, a catamaran is incredibly wide. A 70-foot catamaran often has the same interior volume and deck space as a 90-foot standard motor yacht. We call this “Smart Yachting” because you are getting significantly more usable space for your budget.
Plus, they cruise flat. If you have guests or kids who are prone to getting seasick, the stability of a catamaran boat is a true game-changer. You won’t spill your champagne when the wind picks up.
To give you an idea of what the pinnacle of multihull luxury looks like right now, we have pulled 12 of the most requested catamarans from our global fleet.
