I’ve never heard of anyone who didn’t find the trampoline on a cat quite romantic. After all, you can watch the sunset while having a sip with your partners or lie under the stars at night. Oh, did I forget to mention sunbathing during the daytime? Why do sailing catamarans have trampolines? The trampoline on …

Catamarans are fast, especially long ones. Most of them are even twice as fast as a monohull vessel that is about the same size.  Some cats operate with only sails and then some cats operate with both sail and motor. You have sports, cruising, racing cats, and more. So, is a racing cat or cats, …

If you’ve been on a catamaran before and you’re intrigued after hearing there are vessels with three hulls too, then you’re right.

Nobody in their right mind would want to venture out to sea with no means of communication. After all, loved ones need to know how we’re doing, we need a way to call for help in case of an emergency, and last but not least, for entertainment while away from local stores.  Out in the …

Despite their resemblance, catamarans and pontoons have a few minor differences to keep in mind. However, as a general rule, identifying the type of watercraft may be boiled down to a single observation. It’s a catamaran if it has two separate hulls connected by some kind of wing construction. However, the fundamental differences between the …

It’s one thing to kick back, relax and enjoy a catamaran ride with friends, family, or colleagues. However, the feeling you get being at the controls is a whole other level.

Have you ever considered how many catamaran owners around the world transport their vessels?

Like most sailors, I am passionate about my cat and will argue with you from sunrise to sunset about its efficiency on all levels. Two schools of thought on catamaran vs. sailboats frequently engage in fast, heated debates about which is superior. When it comes to boats, you likely have the opportunity to sail a …

I’ve never lived on a catamaran (over a month), but I’ve certainly traveled on one, and have friends who live on theirs. Believe me, it is quite an experience and there are so many factors to consider. I dug deep for some details since I know you’re reading this because you’re considering living on your …

Don’t pretend that you only go on the cat for a little sailing and sunbathing. Just like you want to feel and see it maximize its power, or you wouldn’t be here. I’ve experienced high speed on land, race cars, and motorcycles, and I’ve had speed at sea, which is just as exhilarating! That’s why …

What to wear and what not to wear has always been a major question asked by people sailing on catamarans for the first time. Having made the mistake of overpacking and carrying things I sure didn’t need to, I’m happy to help everyone going on this type of excursion for the first time. Sailing vacations …

Ever wonder why your catamaran ride is so much smoother than other boats, including yachts? Why don’t I get as oozy as when I’m on other vessels, even when the water is choppy? It’s all about the hull, my fellow water enthusiasts. Not just one but two hulls, positioned in such a way as to …

We all want our catamaran or to upgrade our current ones, but keeping up with the prices and knowing whether we’re getting a good deal isn’t always easy.  For those of us who already own one, we know they are expensive, but we hope to get a deal.  The online forums are usually of great …

If you’re like me, the first time I went to sea for several days, I had no clue what to pack beyond swimwear and sunblock. I’m like, do I need dress clothes for dinner, blankets, beauty supplies and the list(or lack of one) goes on. While you’re bound to have an amazing experience, don’t picture …
