Types of Charter Catamarans
Charter catamarans are a very popular charter option due to their great stability, spaciousness and safety. They can be sail- or engine-powered:
Sail-powered catamarans:
They have a higher speed than monohulls of the same size because of their more needle-like hull shape and are slower turning due to the same reason. Also, they are lighter. They also have two engines, one in each hull for the days when there are no winds.
Engine-powered catamarans:
Fairly recent development in catamaran design, incorporating the best features of a motor yacht and combining it with the characteristics of a multihull. Usually, the engine power catamaran is devoid of any sailing apparatus.
