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 falls under the latter category. It is a type of water craft that features two hulls connected by a sturdy frame. This is designed for ultimate comfort and stability. Others argue that this particular type of boat is not safe, unlike those with only one hull. Well, there are always pros and cons to everything, and the positive attributes of this vessel easily outweighs the negatives.

Cruising is more comfortable on this type of boat. It does not move easily in swells. It most certainly does not heel. Sea sickness are at a minimum when on board a cat, so expect comfort and luxury at its peak.

It is maneuverable. Due to its light frame and unique design, cats are easier to move around and will not stress the boater out. Single hulled crafts need more room to be able to pivot successfully, but not this one. And because it has a thinner, more sleek center, cats can reach places that other crafts can not. All with ease, too.

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.
