By Heidi Carver


Sailing can be a very enjoyable activity that can be enjoyed be the family or with a group of friends. With a boat, perfectly calm waves and fine wind, it is a nice way to escape from the stress and pressures of every day life. More and more people find boating a wonderful family bonding activity and a leisurely vacation rolled into one.

There are so many different boat models, according to sizes and usage. Smaller crafts such as dinghies can be perfect for a romantic day out with a special someone. If you want to bring your entire family without missing the feel of home, there are houseboats. These vessels are complete with kitchen, living areas, bedrooms and even bathrooms for that home far away from home feel. If you are into fishing, bass boats are an excellent choice, though these are only for fresh water. But, if you want a boat the has lots of amenities and is perfect for any sea activity, then power boats and power catamarans are the perfect kind for you.

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 vessel that has two parallel hulls which are of equal sizes at both sides. Most single hull owners argue that the catamaran is not really safe for use at sea, but the truth of the matter is, this type of power boat is known for its over all stability. If you are thinking of having your own, then here are some advantages of owning a catamaran as compared to other types.

This boat offers unparalleled comfort. It does not heel like most monohulls, so it is more stable. They do not move back and forth in swells, so the people on board will enjoy their cruise more comfortably and with less chances of getting sea sick. The design also prevents sound from traveling from cabin to cabin, so utmost privacy can be expected.

A catamaran is easy to maneuver. Since it is light weight, pivots are done with ease unlike single hulls that would require more room to be able to turn around successfully. Also, due to its unique design, catamarans are able to reach places that are usually inaccessible to single hull boats.

Because it has two hulls, it has more room as compared to those with only one. You have more storage space, which basically means you can bring with you more things while sailing. Another astonishing feature of a catamaran is that everything is at eye level, so each corner can be reached by sunlight and sailors do not have to go down to a low dark area as they do when in a single hulled type.

Cats are faster than most. It has two engines that makes it out race any other vessel just as easily. Its unique design also means lesser drag and more speed.

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.
