Pros Of Having Your Very Own Power Catamarans

By Heidi Carver


Boating is slowly becoming one of the most popular aquatic activities, in line with jet skiing, surfing, kayaking, diving and swimming. More and more people enjoy sailing with family and friends, experiencing life at sea at its finest. With the wind fanning your hair and wave lapping gently at your feet, it is not surprising to see more and more people rushing of to get themselves a boat and sail away from the problems back on land.

Water crafts come in all shapes and sizes. They come in all designs, according to their expected usage. Bass boats are used for fishing bass in fresh water. Bay boats are only for shallow waters. Dinghies have room enough only for two people, which makes it the best choice for couples who wish to have some alone time. Houseboats can accommodate an entire family. Cruisers are for overnight stay and power catamarans can set you up for days and even weeks at sea.

Powerboats are divided into two categories. There are power boats with only one hull, and others with two hulls. Powerboats have a lot of excellent features that makes them way better than others, and are widely popular among boat enthusiasts.

The catamaran is a powerboat with two hulls. It looks very different from the usual vessels that we see, because it has two parallel hulls connected by a sleek frame. This type of craft is designed for comfort and total stability, though most boaters are not easily convinced of its safety. Before you scoff at catamarans and go on to find a safer looking ship, here are some of its advantages.

Cats are extremely comfortable rides. Because it has two hulls, it is not easily swayed. Since it does not rock during swells, its passengers will not easily get sea sick. Its unique design does not allow sound to pass through from room to room, so expect privacy in each soundproof cabin.

It is not hard to handle. Pivots are done with unbelievable ease with a catamaran. While single hulled crafts require more space to move around, a cat can turn with as minimal space as its length. Its sleek design makes it fairly light in weight too, so it can reach some areas where other ships can not.

Cats generally have more room. You can have more things on board, because two hulls are really better than one. Another good thing about this boat is that it does not have a dark area. Everything, including all the cabins are at an eye level, so everything is brighter.

They are obviously faster than other types. Whether power or sail, a catamaran can easily outrun any vessel in a race. This is also the reason why cats make excellent racing boats. It has two engines, so there is two times more power to run.

The only thing about this type of vessel is that it costs more than other boats. But, when you experience cruising on board a catamaran, you will realize for sure that you have made the right choice. If you are low on funds, there are dealers that offer amazing plans to make this dreamy water vessel much more affordable.
