Multihull of the year

Sunreef 88 Double Deck

With their new 88  footer from the Double Deck range, Sunreef are unveiling an ultra-comfortable cruising catamaran built for an experienced boating family, and are confirming their ability to complete fully customized projects on the same timescale as production boats.

680 m² of canvas downwind, 460 m² upwind, the Sunreef 88 DD is a real sailboat making 7 knots in just 10 knots of wind

The 88 DD is an imposing catamaran with an air draft of over 40 meters... Welcome to the outsized world of superyachts!

The sheer of the deck makes it possible to house a jet-ski on the sidedeck while maintaining good headroom in the cabins...

On the flybridge, behind the helm station, you find all the indispensable features for relaxation: sunbathing, barbecue, bar and a magnificent 35m² of space

The helm station located on the flybridge allows for handling everything on the entire cat while offering an ideal view of the water.

The aft cockpit encircled by loungers is very large. The skipper's cabin is hidden under the bench seat of the big table. Beneath the stairway, there is access to the day toilets without having to go through the interior of the boat

The Sunreef 88 DD hasn’t forgotten any of the rules of super-yachting. Attention to detail and refinement is everywhere on board, making life enjoyable

The cockpit interior offers a good view forward across the water. From here, you can handle the boat while staying warm during night watches.

The owner's cabin occupies the entire forward part of the coachroof and offers a 180° panoramic view. It has a large bench seat / bunk bed for when the children want to join their parents, and the bathroom is located in the hull. Superb!

The galley is professionally equipped and offers really impressive storage space. A wine cellar and large freezers find their place in the cargo hold under the floor

The guest cabins are just as beautiful

It took no more than 9 months for the Sunreef 88 DD, first announced at the 2016 Cannes boat show, to see its hulls hit the water in Gdansk, Poland.  Yet this is not just a well-honed semi-custom boat, but a brand new model in the range which is already known to connoisseurs and necessarily demanding owners. Having owned many of the best in English and Italian motor yachts, this family got into sailing with a beautiful 25 meter ketch.  The natural instability of a heeling monohull prompted them to ask Ian Sellers, their skipper, to think of another solution.  The choice of a sailing catamaran was a logical one: the space, stability, low draft, panoramic view and the economical running are irrefutable arguments for those who want XXL-sized comfort.

A good average speed to cross the Atlantic or to reach new anchorages in the Caribbean islands after a beautiful summer season in the Mediterranean also guided their choice.  It simply remained to find a shipyard capable of satisfying the wishes of the owner.  With a budget of more than 4 million euros, this owner was looking for a boat that was not just ultra-equipped and of the highest quality, but a unit that was entirely made ...

DISCOVER THE MODEL

Description.

The start of the ambitious Sunreef 88 Double Deck project was officially communicated during Sunreef Yachts’ press conference at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2016. After eight months of intensive work, the shipyard proudly announced the launch of this catamaran with a zealous, sporty look.

An experienced yachtsman switching from a massive motor yacht , the owner decided to commission the Sunreef 88 Double Deck to pursue a more stable navigation style with greater living space. Indeed, a challenging project for the shipyard’s engineering and design teams.

Nonetheless, this journey was destined to keep the promise of delivering a state-of-the art fully customized sailing catamaran from the start. To achieve the goal of building a seaworthy and dynamic catamaran, Sunreef Yachts’ team of naval architects conceived a completely new yacht design which seemed far sportier than the rest.

Same as all yachts within her range, the Sunreef 88 Double Deck too features a mezzanine level inside the saloon and a spacious master stateroom with a panoramic view in the bow part of the main deck. However, her superstructure was granted a more aerodynamic aspect. As a result, the 88-footer emphasis equally on both performance and luxury, offering over 300m² of living space and an outstanding sailing experience.

Despite this, the Sunreef 88 Double Deck remains a family-friendly yacht offering the best of comfort and safety. The innovative composite superstructure of the sailing yacht conceals a smart and functional layout with luxurious accommodations for eight guests and up to five crew members.

Upon the owners’ request, the interior decor of the Sunreef 88 Double Deck features exclusive natural materials: Chambord oak, linen, leather, natural stone, and quartz tiles – all contribute to the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the sailing yacht . The feeling of warmth was also achieved through applying numerous orange accents to the interiors – an important color for the owner’s family who consider it to be a symbol of energy.

Catamarans: Advantages and the Downsides of a double-hulled

What are the advantages and the downsides of a catamaran.

Let’s talk boats – the classic monohull vs. the cool catamaran. Picture this: the monohull’s got one hull, a bit like a lone ranger with a hefty keel. But the catamaran? It’s like the dynamic duo, balancing on two hulls, with sails right in the middle. Easy peasy!

Why do folks go wild for catamarans, you ask? Well, size and stability steal the show. Catamarans boast more room above and below decks, making ’em a hit with vacationers. Plus, with two hulls, they stay as level as a boss, no wild tilts here! It’s a breezier sail, no wrestling with gravity.

Catamarans are the rockstars of the boating world! These double-hulled wonders bring the party to the high seas. Picture this: more space, less rocking, and a smoother ride – it’s like boating in luxury! With their wide stance, they’re as stable as a yoga guru on one foot. Plus, they’ve got speed that’ll make your hair stand on end! And let’s not forget the views – panoramic perfection from every angle. Catamarans are the ultimate waterborne playgrounds, delivering thrills, spills, and chill vibes all in one sleek package. So hop aboard and let the good times roll, because life on a catamaran is a non-stop fiesta!

And get this – they’re not as picky about water depth, so you can explore shallow spots that monohulls can only dream of. At anchor, you won’t be rockin’ and rollin’ all night. Oh, and did we mention the privacy? The two hulls keep things nice and separate. So, when it comes to boats, it’s safe to say, cats have got it all!

But since not everything is all good, below we have created a list of pros and cons of having a catamaran.

ADVANTAGES | Unlocking the Advantages of Catamaran Ownership

Spacious & stable.

Catamarans are very spacious and stable just like a houseboat, so they make great vessels for a vacation or even for those who want to live on a boat. Catamarans are characterized by their dual-hull design, which provides them with several distinct advantages in terms of space and stability.

  • Spaciousness: Catamarans generally offer more interior and deck space compared to monohull boats of similar length. This is because the two hulls create a wider platform, allowing for larger cabins, living areas, and deck spaces. This extra room is particularly noticeable in the main living areas like salons, kitchens, and cabins.
  • Stability: The wide hulls of a catamaran provide excellent stability on the water. They are less prone to heeling (leaning to one side) compared to monohull boats. This makes catamarans a popular choice for those who may be prone to seasickness or for those who simply prefer a more stable ride.
  • Reduced Rolling: Catamarans are less likely to experience the rolling motion that is common on monohull boats. This is because the two hulls work independently, reducing the side-to-side motion that can be uncomfortable for some passengers.
  • Shallow Draft: Catamarans often have a shallower draft compared to monohulls of similar size. This allows them to access shallower anchorages and coastal areas that may be off-limits to deeper-draft boats.
  • Privacy: The dual-hull design of catamarans often allows for more private sleeping arrangements. Cabins are typically located in separate hulls, providing more individual space and privacy for guests.
  • Entertaining Space: The wide deck area between the hulls, known as the trampoline, offers a fantastic space for socializing, sunbathing, or enjoying the scenery. It’s a unique feature that many catamaran enthusiasts appreciate.

Safety! Catamarans are safe for cruising and even safe for those adventurous people who want to cross the ocean. In fact, catamarans are often much safer than similarly sized yachts. Safety comes from increased motion comfort, great stability, speed, and excess buoyancy due to lack of ballast. Catamarans are good even in rough water.

  • Escape Routes : Catamarans typically have multiple exit points, allowing for quicker and easier evacuation in case of an emergency.
  • Redundancy : With two engines, two rudders, and often two separate electrical systems, catamarans have built-in redundancy. If one engine or system encounters a problem, the other can usually compensate.
  • Bouyancy : In the event of hull damage, catamarans tend to stay afloat due to the inherent buoyancy of their multiple hulls. This provides more time for passengers and crew to take necessary safety measures.
  • Visibility : The elevated helm positions on many catamarans provide excellent visibility for the captain, allowing them to see potential hazards or other vessels more easily.

Inside and outside steer

Many catamarans are designed with both inside and outside steering options. This provides flexibility for the captain to choose the most suitable steering position depending on weather conditions, visibility, and personal preference. So, captains have the option to steer from the inside during bad weather or when the water conditions are less than ideal. Keep in mind that the specific configuration may vary depending on the make and model of the catamaran

  • Inside Steering : Catamarans typically have an inside helm station located in the main salon or cabin. This allows the captain to steer and navigate the boat from the comfort of an enclosed space, protected from the elements. Inside steering is particularly advantageous in adverse weather conditions or when additional shelter is needed.
  • Outside Steering : Catamarans also have an outside helm station usually located on the deck, often near the aft (rear) of the boat. This provides a more open and unobstructed view of the surroundings, which can be beneficial for maneuvering in tight spaces, close-quarters situations, or when the weather is favorable.

Withstand high winds

If you are worried about windy weather, catamarans are also known for their excellent ability to withstand high winds. Catamarans are generally designed to withstand high winds quite well due to their inherent stability and aerodynamic profile. While catamarans are designed to handle high winds, it’s important for any boat, including catamarans, to be operated with caution in extreme weather conditions. The experience and skill of the captain, as well as adhering to proper safety protocols, are crucial for ensuring a safe boating experience in challenging weather. Additionally, all boats should be equipped with appropriate safety gear, including life jackets, navigation lights, and communication devices.

Here are a few reasons why catamarans are well-suited for handling high winds:

  • Wide Beam : Catamarans have a wide beam (the distance between the two hulls), which provides a stable platform. This wide stance helps distribute the forces of the wind, reducing the likelihood of capsizing or heeling over.
  • Low Center of Gravity : The weight of a catamaran is distributed lower in the water compared to a monohull boat. This low center of gravity contributes to stability in strong winds.
  • Reduced Heeling : Catamarans are less prone to heeling (leaning to one side) compared to monohull boats. This means they maintain a more level position in high winds, providing a more comfortable and secure ride for passengers.
  • Aerodynamic Design : Catamarans have a sleek and aerodynamic profile, which allows them to slice through the wind more efficiently than some other types of boats. This helps reduce the resistance to strong winds.
  • Structural Integrity : Well-built catamarans are constructed with strong and durable materials. This ensures that they can handle the stresses and pressures associated with high winds.

Catamarans rely on the buoyancy of their two hulls as opposed to yachts, that only have a single hull. They can be in shallower water without losing stability or the ability to navigate. Yachts rely on a deeper draft to ensure the performance of the boat.

Less fuel? Yes, catamarans have less resistance to get on plane, which results in fuel economy. Their speed rises steadily and there is little to no spikes in fuel consumption. Catamarans are generally more fuel-efficient than similar-sized monohull boats due to their design characteristics. Here are some reasons why catamarans tend to be more fuel-efficient:

  • Reduced Drag : The hull design of a catamaran creates less water resistance compared to a monohull. This means that it requires less power to achieve and maintain a given speed, resulting in lower fuel consumption.
  • Lighter Weight : Catamarans are often lighter than monohulls of similar size. This means they require less power to move through the water, which in turn leads to improved fuel efficiency.
  • Multiple Engines : Many catamarans are equipped with twin engines, which allows for better maneuverability and fuel efficiency. The ability to operate on a single engine at lower speeds can save fuel compared to running a larger single engine at higher speeds.
  • Sail Option : Some catamarans are designed with sails in addition to engines. When conditions allow, using sails can significantly reduce fuel consumption, as the wind provides propulsion.
  • Diesel-Electric Hybrid Systems : Some modern catamarans are equipped with advanced propulsion systems, including diesel-electric hybrids. These systems can optimize fuel consumption by efficiently managing power sources.
  • Shallower Draft : Catamarans often have a shallower draft compared to monohulls, which allows them to access more fuel-efficient routes, such as shallower anchorages and coastal areas.

DISADVANTAGES | The Drawbacks of Catamaran Ownership

Stability for some is a no go.

For those that are into sailing sports, Catamaran yachts are not the most suitable. Why? Well, for the same reasons that make them great houseboats, stability. For that reason, half of the yachtsmen would never buy them. If there is too much sail exposed to the wind and the force of the wind is greater than the weight of the boat … wow… there it goes. The boat will literally trip sideways over the downwind side hull, capsizing. This can happen to small and large cats alike.

  • Performance in Light Winds : Catamarans, especially those with a wider beam, may not perform as well in very light winds compared to monohulls. The reduced heeling and narrow hulls of monohulls can sometimes give them an edge in extremely light conditions.
  • Difficulty in Heeling for Sailing Enthusiasts : Sailing purists who enjoy the challenge of heeling and working with the natural forces of the wind may find catamarans less engaging, as they tend to remain level even under sail.

The cost of keeping a catamaran in a marina can vary widely depending on factors such as location, marina facilities, boat size, and amenities offered. Marina fees are often based on the length of the boat. Catamarans, which tend to be wider than monohulls of similar length, may be charged a higher fee to accommodate their beam. Some yacht clubs may not even be suitable for catamarans.

Docking and Close Quarters Maneuvering

Docking a catamaran can present different challenges compared to docking a monohull due to its wider beam and dual-hull configuration. Catamarans often have twin engines and two separate hulls, which can make tight maneuvering in marinas or docking in narrow spaces a bit more challenging compared to monohulls.

  • Width : Catamarans are typically wider than monohull boats of similar length. This can make it more challenging to navigate tight spaces in marinas or docking areas.
  • Windage : Catamarans have a larger surface area exposed to the wind, which can make them more susceptible to being pushed off course during docking. Captains need to be aware of wind direction and strength when maneuvering a catamaran.
  • Propeller Configuration : Catamarans often have twin engines, which can provide more precise control during docking. However, it also means the captain needs to be skilled at maneuvering with dual propulsion.
  • Depth Perception : The separation of the hulls can make it harder to judge distances and angles when approaching a dock or slip. Captains may need to rely on experience and practice to develop a good sense of depth perception.
  • Visibility : The position of the helm station on a catamaran can vary, but it’s typically higher and more centralized compared to monohulls. This can provide better visibility, but it may still take some adjustment for captains who are used to the lower vantage point of monohull boats.
  • Tight Quarters : Maneuvering a catamaran in a crowded marina or in narrow waterways can be more challenging due to its width. Captains may need to plan their approach carefully and consider factors like current, wind, and other vessels.

The services can also be more expensive. Remember, there are two engines instead of just one. The cost of servicing a catamaran can vary depending on factors such as the specific make and model, age, size, and the complexity of its systems. In general, there are a few considerations that may affect the overall cost of servicing a catamaran:

  • Twin Engines : Many catamarans have twin engines, which means there are two engines to maintain and service. This can potentially increase the cost of engine maintenance compared to a monohull with a single engine.
  • Additional Systems : Catamarans may have additional systems and equipment, such as two steering systems, two electrical systems, and more plumbing. This can lead to potentially higher maintenance costs compared to monohulls.
  • Specialized Knowledge : Some maintenance tasks for catamarans require specialized knowledge or expertise due to their unique design. This may result in higher labor costs or the need to hire technicians with specific catamaran experience.
  • Sail Handling : If the catamaran is equipped with sails, maintaining and servicing the rigging, sails, and associated equipment may add to the overall cost.
  • Anti-Fouling and Bottom Paint : Due to their wider beam, catamarans often have more hull surface area to cover with anti-fouling paint. This can lead to higher material costs for bottom maintenance.
  • Insurance and Documentation : Insurance premiums for catamarans may be higher due to their higher value and unique characteristics. Additionally, documentation and registration fees may vary depending on the type of vessel.

a large ship in a body of water

It’s important to note that these potential drawbacks are subjective and may not be significant concerns for all sailors or boat owners. Ultimately, the choice between a catamaran and a monohull should be based on individual preferences, priorities, and the intended use of the vessel.

8 Best Catamarans That Are 30 Feet or Less

catamaran boat double decker

Large-sized catamarans are appealing due to their ample spacing and comfort. Therefore, a cruising family or couple looking to buy a boat is more likely to go for one of these. But are there small cruising catamarans that provide the performance, comfort, and amenities found in larger boats?  

The best catamarans under 30 feet (9.14 m) include the TomCat 6.2, Cadillac 27and 30, Gemini 30, Endeavour 30, and Maine Cat. These time-tested cruising cats are easy to handle, premium built, and are great for daytime sailing, overnight trips, and some even suitable for long-range sea passages. 

In this article, you’ll find a list of the best cruising catamarans below 30 feet (9.14 m). Keep reading to discover which catamarans make this list, what they have to offer, their pros and cons, and how much they cost.

If you are unsure whether or not 30ft is too small for your needs, then I suggest you check out another article I wrote named Best Size Catamaran , it will discuss why length matters and how it affects safety.

Unlike most catamarans designed for racing purposes, the TomCat 6.2 is a medium-sized cat that’s well-suited to daytime cruising. It boasts high-quality construction, vacuum-bagged hulls, and a plywood-reinforced deck.

This 20 footer (6.09 m) comes with an 11-foot (3.35 m) beam and not only offers you safety and comfort but performance and versatility as well. 

This boat has a centrally placed outboard engine and two rudders that allow it to turn quickly and maneuver confidently into and out of marina slips. The 9.9 hp outboard propels it to speeds of around 8 knots (9.21 mph or 14.8 kph), though the boat has the potential to move faster if desired.

This simpler type of cat (just one engine as an example) also allows for cheaper and easier maintenance. Maintenance costs are something most people underestimate when getting a cat, if you want to get some real numbers from actual sailors then I suggest you read this article (How much does it cost to maintain a cat).

The boat sails with minimal heeling, comfortably accommodate 6-8 people, and you can sail it single-handed or take a crew. 

High and narrow hulls bearing arched bottoms allow for a low wetted surface. The hull design provides low resistance and a great deal of reserved buoyancy and also enables you to drive through closely spaced waves.

On most 20-footers (6.1 m), driving through waves generates a smooth but wet ride, but with the TomCat’s enclosed deck (link to parts names explained here ), you are safe and protected behind a windshield and the high bulwark.

The TomCat makes an excellent cruiser because it performs impressively well both under sail and power. It combines the performance of a modern sailing cat with the comfort, style, and convenience of a powerboat. It’s also trailerable since you can detach the hulls from the deck , winch up the deck on a trailer, and slide the hulls underneath.

But the best part is that it’s easy on the pocket, with the price ranging between $36,750 and $44,580 .

catamaran boat double decker

Catalac 30 (9M)

The Catalac brand consists of strongly built vessels that sport thick hulls, glass windows, narrow beams, and vertical transoms . Catalac 30 was the first vessel in this popular British cruising line designed by Tom Lack in the late 60s. The boat’s appeal was attributed to its safety, ample spacing, well-built interior, and load-carrying abilities.

These characteristics are extremely important on a safe catamaran, overloading your cat makes it sit lower in the water, increases drag, reduces handling and speed, there is stuff you should know about this (so that you can make an educated buy). I have created an article where I try to explain the basics of a safe cat ( link here )

Sporting 5 berths, a massive galley, plus a cockpit with a sheltered steering position, the 30-foot (9.1 m) Catalac makes an excellent floating home for a cruising family. It sails exceptionally well, doesn’t heel ( heeling explained here ), and delivers a reasonable motor-sailer level of performance.

Furthermore, the hulls provide adequate headroom, allowing those on board to move around comfortably, and there’s enough space on the deck for sunbathing. 

catamaran boat double decker

The Catalac’s structure features solid fiberglass, chined hulls, and a staggered sheerline that allows easy aft access. With a modest rig that’s easy to handle, the Catalac can deliver top speeds of up to 12-14 knots (13.81-16.11 mph / 22.22-25.9 kph) under sail.

Given that the boat’s design focuses more on comfort than speed, this is a spectacular performance.  

Catalac 9M requires a skilled hand when turning into the wind as it is prone to blowing sideways. This is because the boat lacks ballast (which helps in keeping momentum during a tack) but also centerboards ( explained here ).

Skills are always the most essential things to bring aboard and you can acquire them in many ways, my two favorite ways are through NauticEd courses (two free courses here ) or by reading books (my top 15 books here )

Back to the boat! This model came in two versions; the standard layout contained a 30-40hp outboard, while the second option had duo engines. The latter is easier to maneuver into a marina. 

catamaran boat double decker

These cats retain their value pretty well. However, they might not be easy to come by since most owners find it challenging to get their hands on a larger boat with similar qualities and performance.

A Catalac 30 (9M) goes for between $33,000 and $55,000.

catamaran boat double decker

Catalac 27 (8M)

The Catalac 27 8M is a pocket cruiser that boasts a strong reputation for high quality, durability, and strength. Besides, the boat’s design makes it somewhat suitable for bluewater sailing ( understand why the small size is an offshore problem).

Built like a battleship, the boat contains solid fiberglass hulls. Additionally, it comes with double engines, a large cockpit fitted with cushions all around, and features standing headroom in each hull.

catamaran boat double decker

Like the Catalac 9M, this boat comes with two different layouts; a twin inboard diesel engine or an outboard engine. The twin-engine models can motor up to 1000 km (621 miles, read more on cat fuel consumption here ) without needing to refuel, while the 70 amps of charge plus water tanks (70 gallons / 265 liters) make these vessels remarkable coastal cruisers. 

Catalacs equipped with outboard engines sail faster since you can raise the engine during sailing and are also lighter. This helps to minimize drag . Catalac 8M sports a short but thick mast that helps make the boat stable. 

catamaran boat double decker

Though small in size, this catamaran packs a lot of features in its small frame. It has a full-sized berth, a large galley that’s almost 8 feet (2.4 m) long, a quarter berth, head, and navigation station.

What’s more, the cockpit is as large as that of a 38 to 40-foot (11.5 to 12.1 m) cat.

Catalac 27 costs about $31,836.

catamaran boat double decker

The Endeavour 30 

The Endeavour 30 catamaran is a boat characterized by stability, ample deck space, and a spacious interior. It boasts fast cruising speeds under both sail and power.

The boat has mini keels and rudders plus symmetrical hulls separated by a hydra-cell. The latter is a center section with a characteristic V-shape. 

The boat’s vacuum-bagged construction helps enhance strength and stiffness while reducing weight. Furthermore, the interior has a fiberglass mold, providing extra strength and rigidity. With sufficient breeze, this vessel can deliver reasonable off-the-wind and doable upwind speeds.

As such, you can expect to attain speeds of about ~10 knots (11.51 mph or 18.5 kph) on power reaches. Below is a video showing a panoramic tour of the Endeavour 30:

This vessel has the internal capacity of a 40-foot (12.1 m) monohull. And you can tell this from the unique layout merging the cabin and cockpit with wide doors to the numerous features packed into this 30-foot (9.14 m) vessel.

It has a spacious salon, an enormous galley, two queen berth staterooms with plenty of storage space, a head with separate showers, and a sizable U-shaped dinette. 

You can get this boat for under $50,000 .

catamaran boat double decker

The Geminis by Tony Smith were the United States’s first production cruising cats. Today, these vessels remain the most appealing American-built cruising catamarans. Built between 1981 and 1990, the Gemini 30 does not have a contemporary design, but it works remarkably well for cruisers desiring generous living space in a small affordable sailboat.

At only 14 feet (4.2 m) across, Gemini cats are somewhat narrow. But this mean s they can easily fit into most of the regular marina berths.

Besides, the boats still contain enough interior space for a queen-size double berth and two smaller doubles housed in separate guest rooms.

There’s also a modest but serviceable saloon with duo settees and a collapsible table that can transform into an additional double berth.

catamaran boat double decker

For the Gemini 30, this translates to a cruising cat with standing headroom that can comfortably accommodate 3 couples in private cabins or a family with small children. A good-sized galley, a spacious head with a shower, nav desk, and a large comfy cockpit make up the Gemini 30’s cruising palace.

Catamaran layout is highly personal and if you want to learn more about different characteristics then I suggest you read my article Designing the perfect catamaran layout ( Link )

While not that fast, the Gemini 30 will easily outsail the Endeavor 30 discussed above. Its daggerboards (which are explained in detail here ) can point well, and if you keep it light, it can do 7-8 knots (12.9-14.8 km/hr) under sail.

Besides, raising the daggerboards reduces the wetted surface area, and increases the speed downwind.

catamaran boat double decker

The Gemini 30 tends to pound and hobbyhorse a little when sailing in choppy waters – particularly when overloaded (more on load carrying capabilities in this article ), but the deep pivoting daggerboards provide stability and lift underwater.

Furthermore, the Gemini’s retractable rudders enable it to venture into shallow waters.

This is a very popular cruising cat that’ll give you a lot of bang for your bucks.

You can find a Gemini for less than $65,000.

catamaran boat double decker

Maine Cat 30 

The Maine Cat 30 combines premium quality construction materials with the most advanced building techniques to create a lightweight vessel capable of handling most offshore conditions. What’s more, this boat can remain trouble-free for years on end with little effort.

If you are in the market for a simple liveaboard cruiser that you can use for a short weekend getaway or a cruising voyage, this is it.

The boat has a sizable primary stateroom berth with ample overhead space and a dresser fitted with a hanging storage cabinet. The enormous head includes a toilet, sink, 20-gallon (75.71 L) holding tank, vanity, and a pressurized shower.

Covering the open bridgedeck is a permanent hardtop. This spacious bridgedeck can hold quite a crowd and comes with a convertible dinette that turns into an extra berth. If need be, you can even enclose the entire space using acrylic windows or screens. Gabo

catamaran boat double decker

The 360-degree visibility from the cockpit allows the captain plus the crew a panoramic view, and all sail controls go back to the cockpit, which is very useful if wanting to sail single-handedly.

I believe that most boats should be set up in this way since sooner or later you might be in a situation where there is only one person to handle the controls, such as in an emergency. But more on that in another article ( Link ).

The Maine Cat 30 is a classic boat that delivers on high-performance multihull sailing. Designed to offer much better performance than catamarans bearing tall and heavy bridge decks, this cat weighs less and suffers less windage thanks to the acrylic windows.

The boat’s interior layout allows for easy cleaning as surfaces sport a smooth gel coat and satin-finished cherry trim. The solid but lightweight furniture bears the same Core-Cell foam core employed on the hull, deck, and hardtop. Plus, there’s ample storage for all your sailing equipment, cleaning supplies, and provisions.

A Maine Cat 30 can cost up to $110,000.

Heavenly Twins 27

The overall design of this well-equipped catamaran makes it a superb pocket cruiser.

Heavenly Twins 27 manages to fit not one but two coachroofs on hulls that are only 27 feet (8.20 m) long. Canoe sterns and a central cockpit separating the duo coachroofs form the boat’s other prominent features. 

Famous for their excellent build quality, medium-depth draft, and narrow beams, Heavenly Twins 27 appeals to a wide range of boating enthusiasts.

These include solo sailors, weekend sailors, cruising families, circumnavigators, beginner sailors, and experienced liveaboards such as this famous Youtube channel “Kittiwake”.

The vessels house double cabins in the hulls while the forward starboard contains the heads and, to port, the galley. You can easily access the bar from the well-protected cockpit while the Comfordesk accommodation converts into a double dock. 

A stoop through allows access from below-deck to the aft compartment without going through the cockpit. There’s ample storage space throughout the boat, plus you can section off the large stateroom into smaller double compartments if desired.

The price range for this boat is $ 20,098 to $24,193. (I believe that kittiwake is for sale too)

catamaran boat double decker

The last cruising catamaran on my list is the Aquilon 26 . This French-built cruising vessel is light in weight and trailerable, which means you can disassemble it in a few hours or transport it as-is.

Designing a boat that is possible to disassemble usually means that it is structurally less strong, which by no means is a problem during coastal sailing but the Aquilon 26 is mostly attractive to sailors who prefer inland lake sailing. It’s also suitable for beginner sailors.

Although there are no real “beginner cats” there are specs to consider if you are a beginner with catamarans, most of them I have listed in another article ( here ). Gabo

This 26-footer (7.92 m) has the potential for good speed though its layout is anything but conventional- which forms part of its appeal.

The cockpit works as the saloon, and a full bimini protects the crew from lousy weather. The starboard hull contains a dinette and galley, and the port has a double berth stateroom. The windows are quite unusual, but they provide lots of light, remarkably enhancing interior visibility.

Aquilon 26 can deliver an average cruising speed of 10knots (11.51 mph or 18.5 kph).

On a beam reach, you can expect around 25 knots (28.77 mph or 46.3 kph) with an adequate breeze ( I have never sailed at 25knots but researching this boat supposedly it is possible).

You can get this boat for under $50,000.

What Makes Small Cruising Cats Attractive?

Small cruising cats are ideal for sailing along the coast. But that’s not all. Under capable hands, properly fitted smaller cats can also deliver spectacular offshore passages similar to their larger counterpart (Heres a list of full-sized bluewater cats).

They can operate over long cruise ranges, cross oceans , and circumnavigate the globe . Smaller cats are also suitable for day sailing, overnight trips, and coastal or inland voyages. 

For most sailors, comfort on board is crucial, so they’ll look for a vessel that guarantees a comfortable cruising experience. The good thing is that smaller vessels provide almost the same qualities and amenities that bigger vessels offer. Plus, you can do quite a bit with the available space, especially if it’s well laid out.  

You’ll find that most 30-footer (9.14 m) or more miniature cruising cats comprise a galley, head, bunks, navigation and entertainment electronics, and refrigeration.

Sailors usually talk about these benefits of smaller cats:

  • They’re less expensive. Large boats are costly to buy. They also cost more to hire, maintain, and dock. You can buy a small-sized boat at a much lower price, and parts tend to cost less too. Besides, you get to use smaller sails, winches, and lighter lines than those applicable on a larger boat. And since marine services such as moorings and haul-outs get billed via boat length, a smaller cat makes sailing more affordable.
  • They boast superior builds. Most cruising boats under 30 feet (9.14 m) feature designs that are 30+ years old. In those days, weather forecasts were hard to come by and not as accurate, so boat builders used hulls with thicker fiberglass than the type found in today’s builds. Furthermore, everything in the boat, including rigs, rudders, hulls, keels and decks, was designed to withstand strong winds and high waves. 
  • They have simpler systems. This means less time spent fixing and maintaining your boat. For instance, most small cruising cats often lack water-makers, hot water systems, or electric anchor windlasses. 
  • They’re easier to handle. Smaller cats are simpler to sail than larger cats. It’s also easier to sail one single-handed or with a small crew.

What is the largest cat on person can sail?

The Disadvantages of Smaller Cruising Cats

Below are some of the most discussed downsides of small cats:

  • They have limited living space, storage, and amenities.
  • Though they don’t heel much, they are less comfortable than larger boats since they get tossed around much more easily in big ocean swells.
  • It’s not easy to accommodate crew for extended periods; hence there are fewer hands to share work.
  • They are slower and take longer to get to their destination.

Though fewer are on the cruising trails than their larger counterparts, small catamarans make ideal cruisers because they are simple, seaworthy, and pocket-friendly.

When choosing the best cat for your needs, focus on quality rather than size. A well-planned 30-footer (9.14 m) is reliable and provides ample space for your accommodation, dining, and relaxation, plus a storage room for provisions and any spare parts you might need. 

And if you want even more info than I have presented to you in this article I would recommend a book from Serj, he makes it easy to understand why size matters and how to find a cat suited for your needs (amazon link )
