Boat charter in catamaran

Charter a Catamaran

Catamarans are the most spacious charter option available - two hulls mean wide decks, stable passages and separate living areas that suit families and groups. Shallow draft gives you access to anchorages that monohulls cannot reach, and the open cockpit layout makes for relaxed sailing in almost any conditions. Browse 30,000+ catamarans worldwide across the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions: Catamaran Charter

What makes a catamaran the best choice for a group holiday?
Catamarans provide the perfect balance of privacy and social space. With separate hulls for cabins and a large central saloon, they offer a "floating villa" experience that is unmatched for comfort and luxury.
Is a catamaran safer for families with small children?
Yes, the flat, wide decks and minimal heeling (leaning) make catamarans much safer and easier for children and seniors to move around on while the vessel is under way or at anchor.
Can I rent a catamaran for a single day?
While many providers focus on weekly charters, day rentals are increasingly popular in top coastal destinations. This is a fantastic way to enjoy a premium sea experience with friends.
What luxury features can I expect on a modern catamaran?
Modern catamarans often feature air-conditioning, en-suite bathrooms for every cabin, large trampolines for sunbathing, and modern galleys. High-end models may even include flybridges and water makers.
Is a catamaran more fuel-efficient than a motor yacht?
Yes, because catamarans can use wind power, they are generally more fuel-efficient than large motor yachts of a similar size, offering a more sustainable way to enjoy a luxury cruise.

Catamaran Charter: The Ultimate Floating Resort

Experience the pinnacle of luxury, space, and comfort on the water with a catamaran charter. Offering the ultimate floating resort experience, renting a multihull is the perfect choice for families, large groups, and anyone who wants to enjoy the ocean without compromising on living space or stability. Whether you are island-hopping through the Mediterranean or exploring the shallow turquoise reefs of the Caribbean, a catamaran provides a lavish, incredibly stable base for your maritime holiday.

Why Choose a Catamaran Over a Monohull?

While traditional sailboats offer a sporty experience, catamarans have become the most popular choice for modern charter holidays for several distinct reasons:

  • Unmatched Stability: With twin hulls, catamarans do not heel (lean) while sailing. This provides a flat, stable platform both underway and at anchor, virtually eliminating seasickness and making it easy to move around or dine on deck.
  • Shallow Draft: A catamaran sits much higher in the water than a monohull. This allows you to safely navigate over shallow coral reefs and drop anchor incredibly close to sandy beaches.
  • Expansive Living Space: Catamarans offer massive social areas. Enjoy panoramic views from the wide, above-water saloon, sunbathe on the forward trampoline nets, or relax on the elevated flybridge.

Captain’s Insider Tip: Embrace Anchoring “Because catamarans are wide, marina berths can be expensive and hard to find in peak season. Take advantage of your multihull's incredible stability and shallow draft to drop anchor in stunning, secluded bays instead of paying for crowded marinas!”
