At Yacht Charter Singapore, catamaran charters are one of our fastest growing type of charter, and for good reason. Catamarans combine the thrill and teamwork of sailing with comfort, privacy and great social spaces. Key benefits of a catamaran are:
- Catamaran often offers great views from the spacious salon
- Catamaran has excellent sun decks for easier, more comfortable lounging on deck
- Catamaran has fewer stairs
- Catamarans have less separation between the cockpit and the galley
- Catamarans can actually reduce seasickness (catamarans do not roll as much as a monohull)
- Catamarans have more private sleeping quarters (in a catamaran, cabins are separated from each other in the hulls)
- Catamarans are easier to navigate in shallow water
- Catamarans give a feeling of being “on top of the world” when in the salon
On deck of a catamaran
The cockpit, highlight of catamarans, is usually huge, since it spans over both hulls.
The cockpit and the salon of catamarans are on the same level, which enhances the feeling of light and spaciousness, along with the typical huge panoramic windows. The catamaran’s foredeck also has a big net between the hulls, which makes a great sun bathing area. As a result of this roominess, a catamaran rarely feels crowded, as it is relatively easy to get some seclusion and quietness from other members of the party.
The catamaran’s foredeck area is very big as well. That is where you will find the notorious trampoline, which delights the kids and the sunbathing adults. In any case, it is a great observation spot on the catamaran.
Down below in a catamaran
The catamaran will provide you with considerably more room than a monohull almost everywhere on the catamaran boat: in the cabins and in the salon. Besides, there is ample headroom everywhere in the catamaran. A typical 45 feet catamaran will have 4 large staterooms, with queen-size beds – no more of those pointy beds! – each with en-suite bathroom. A 38 to 42 feet catamaran will have 3/4 staterooms and 2/3 bathrooms.
All catamarans have an enormous salon or cockpit combination capable to sit and entertain about 20 people in style!
Because of the catamaran’s layout configuration, there is full privacy in every room of the catamaran and one does not hear anything from one room to the other in the catamaran.
Stability of a catamaran
The key fact is that catamarans have a phenomenal stability: catamarans do not heel under way and catamarans do not roll at anchor. This usually makes seasickness a non-event on board a catamaran. Incidentally, it makes it somewhat safer for kids running around on the catamaran.
Whether at anchor or under way, a catamaran is always much more stable than a monohull, which is great news for people prone to seasickness. Stability on a catamaran is also a good factor for elderly people and/or first time sailors. As a matter of fact, a catamaran will give the latter an excellent impression for their first cruise, instead of memories of being seasick!
Speed & maneuverability of catamarans
There is no question that catamarans are faster under power or sail. Whatever your cruising goals are, catamarans will move you about more quickly than a monohull.
Catamarans have shallow drafts. This means catamarans can get into places monohulls yachts simply can’t reach, and that catamarans can also anchor closer to shore.
