The Design Details
The HammerCat 35 is the first model of the next generation of power catamarans. The design concept was to pencil an elegant, fast, fuel efficient and modern power catamaran in the mid 30’ range.
The impressive “Carolina bow” gives the impression of a much larger vessel. Around Fort Lauderdale, people call the HammerCat 35 'The Beast' as it is so impressive and commands attention and authority. The substantial raised bow (5' / 150cm of the water!) allows for a dry ride at superior speeds even in adverse conditions.
There is a (removable) marlin door in between the engines with a bathing ladder incorporated into the bridge deck. The stern of the vessel has a cut-out just in front of the engines (underside of the hull). This feature allows for faster backing up / reverse following the fish once the big one is hooked and assures clean water over the propellors when underway.
The tunnel / bridge-deck on the HammerCat 35 is significantly higher as compared to other power catamarans, not only does this ensure a softer ride as there is much less slamming but this also reduces any “front splash”, water that is coming back from the inside tunnel towards the bow. The HammerCat 35 also features a "splash guard", a chine with a negative angle under the bridge-deck which pushes any front-splash down, and thus prevents slapping / coughing in between the 2 hulls. The bridge clearance when underway is almost 2’/60cm. While standing on the dock, you can view the underside of the HammerCat from stern to bow. The underwater body also features "double steps" which generate aeration (air cushions) under the hull while traveling at high speed and assure a very comfortable ride.
We paid particular attention to the weight distribution. Catamarans don’t like weight in the bow / stern of the yacht. Our fuel and water tanks are located at the COG (center of gravity), ensuring a smooth and flat ride.
The HammerCat 35 will get on a “plane” on one single 350HP engine and run up to almost 25 mph. We added 2 x towing eyes at the waterline on the bow as some larger yachts appreciate the features of the HammerCat 35 and use it as a multi-functional tender.
The design features in combination with the high-tech light weight construction make it amply clear why the HammerCat 35 truly is "the next generation power catamaran".
Unique features of the HammerCat 35
Deck: The deck design has its background in commercial fishing for both efficiency and a no-nonsense approach. The stern features a marlin door (and folding swimming ladder under the bridge deck) in the center and two large 65 gallons cooler boxes on each corner (which can be set up as live bait wells with the optional Seachest). The advantage of placing the coolers / bait wells on the corners is the added depth on the corners of the boat as opposed to restriction of placing a bait well on the centerline. The deck also features 2 x forward fish boxes with a length of 8’ and 2 x 7' aft fish boxes. All fish-boxes are insulated, and the drain point is above the waterline, which eliminates the need for pump out or macerator systems. The deck is slightly cambered side to side, and also features a 3-degree slope front-to-aft to allow for any water to flow off easily.
Helm station: The lay out of the helm station allows for 2 x 24” MFD screens (unheard of for a 35’) and has flat areas for storage of phones & sunglasses. Inside the helm station is space for an optional electric fresh water flushing head. Three Llebroc sport seats with folding bolsters ensure a comfortable ride. The aft facing workstation has a large work area (with sink) and space for storage / tackle box. Forward of the helm station is a double seat with, the starboard side is set up as an insulated cooler. The helm station is covered by a standard carbon fiber hardtop and integrated "rocket launcher" for 8 rods.
Foredeck: Coffin box or U-shaped settee The HammerCat 35 can be ordered with an open fore-deck, a coffin box / lounger or a U-shaped settee.
The hardtop of the HammerCat 35 measures 10’ x 12’ and weighs just 150 Lbs., so there is no weight high up which can influence the ride in offshore conditions. The hardtop is much larger & wider than on most other center consoles so you and your crew are protected from the sun / elements.

Here’s what our customers have to say: “Holy crap do I love my 35 IFC with the Merc 300 V8’s on the back. We ran her down to Key Largo the other day, snorkeled all day, got lunch at Shipwrecks Bar and Grill, and ran back. Cruised between 40 and 45 mph, mostly around 42. So smooth it’s nuts. Burned maaaayyybe 40 gallons for the whole day. As we cruised the dashboard was telling us between 1.7 and 1.8 mpg, but I’m pretty sure we cruised more than 40 miles and burned between 35 and 40 gallons, no more. So… suffice it to say that you guys have absolutely crushed it and changed the game here. Fantastic work”! – Alan, Hull #4

Frequently Asked Questions
IFC is Insetta Boatwork's Internal Foiling System.
You can expect a significant increase in cruise speed; Improved handling and stability in rough conditions; Better acceleration; A boat that is less affected by increased payload; A 20-40% increase in fuel efficiency; and a 20-40% further cruise range! Additionally, the IFC technology will also provide a drier ride in choppy conditions and Provide for more responsiveness when turning at speed!
The system is a fixed setup, there is nothing to operate and there are zero moving parts.
The IFC Technology in effect smooths out rough seas by allowing the boat to run from wave crest to wave crest at a relatively smooth and stable attitude. The IFC System creates lift which help to in effect “Carry” the hull higher in the water. The system acts as a set of wings carrying the boat at speed, keeping the hull from having to follow each wave across its entire contour. In other words the surface of the waves have less effect on the hull as the IFC system is lifting the boat. Additionally, the aerodynamic lift created by the catamaran hulls creates even more lift at the bow of the boat, keeping the nose high and preventing the “slamming” or sneezing found in other catamaran hulls.
No, you don’t. The foils are flush mounted to the bottom of the keels of each sponson (as well as up in the tunnel.) At its centerline the main foil of the IFC system is only slightly lower than the keel line. The boat will easily load onto a standard catamaran trailer. There is no big contraption hanging way down under the boat.
Remember, the foils are INTERNAL to the tunnel. At its lowest point the main foil is only slightly lower than the hull and is higher than the props. Because of this the odds of striking the foils are extremely low. The boat is designed to be lifted by the foil. The structural integrity of the foil system is such that the weight of the boat could be supported many times over by the foil. As such, if you did somehow manage to strike the foil on something EXTREMELY SUBSTANTIAL, like a stone shoal, the likely outcome is that you may (in a very worst case scenario) bend or break a foil wing. If that were to happen, you could still operate the boat to port with the remaining foils. The IFC foils are made from a very high-grade stainless steel and designed to meet or exceed relevant guidelines for impact and strength.
As water travels through the tunnel and around the foil, a tremendous vortex is created. This force keeps most debris from being trapped in the tunnel or around the foil. Between the pressure of the air moving through the tunnel, and the vortex created in the water, the tunnel and foils will stay clean and clear.
The outboards of the 35 IFC are mounted on a slight outward angle to place the propellers properly to maximize the thrust and flow efficiency created as the water travels through the tunnel and around the foils. This mounting also helps the boat to lean into a corner, much like a monohull.
Firstly, we’d ask, “Why would you want to?” But the short answer is no. IFC is an integrated system that is integral to the design of the boat.
The short answer is that boats with technology similar to IFC have been in use for many years, but not in the recreational market. Commercial and Military applications are quite prevalent. The initial design of a hull and system like this is quite complex and can be cost prohibitive. We at Insetta feel the gains in efficiency, speed, range and ride quality far outweigh the initial design and build cost.
Upon deciding to build a foiling Cat, Insetta assembled a team of naval Architects and Marine Engineers to refine an existing and proven design. Using their own state of the art construction techniques, Insetta brought an application specific version to the fiberglass Center Console market.

Why did Insetta Boatworks decide to build a boat with IFC?
For decades, Hydrofoil power boats have proven to be the most efficient craft for a variety of offshore operations.
While pursuing a B.S. in physics in 1960, Victor Insetta was employed doing anti-submarine research that utilized high speed Deep-V patrol boats equipped with hydrofoils. Their ability to pursue submarines at high speed, operate safely offshore, and, being foil borne: allowed their hull to run clear of the water avoiding direct hits from torpedoes. Decades later, Vic and his family rode comfortably on hydrofoil ferries in Italy, flying over white capped waves in the bay of Naples.
In 2017, The Insetta 45 was chosen to be the official chase boat of the America’s cup! Four 45’ Insetta’s catamarans were shipped to Bermuda to assist at various cup events. Sailboats, competing from several countries, were catamarans with hydrofoils ! The Insetta 45’s ran parallel to these “foiling sail cats” to assist with TV coverage. The sailing cats were traveling at speeds approaching 50 mph, 2 ½ times the wind speed . Efficient … you bet . They could also turn on a dime at over 40 mph…
It became obvious: that a foiling cat would make a great offshore outboard power boat… Many foil power boat designs in the past, had wide foils that stuck out the sides, increasing their beam and draft. It made them difficult to dock, and they couldn’t operate in shallow waters. Joel Shine (chief operating officer) of Insetta Boatworks found a catamaran design that had hydrofoils mounted in the tunnel, (that location between the tunnel walls actually improves their efficiency), and does not add to its draft. Further improvements could be added by using our ultra-light high strength infused composite construction.
Joel, Vic and our technical staff reviewed the foiling cat’s initial specifications and performance data, and then sea trialed two foiling cats with internal hydrofoils. Our staff includes a second physicist and pilot… Glen Dobbs. We are all active boaters and we determined we would build our version of a foiling outboard powered cat. We contacted a Naval architect, who designed several successful foiling power cats . He is now a member of our technical staff.
Our 35 “foiling cat” design has set the standard for Foil-Assisted Sportfishing boats. The hull, foils, materials, and engines are synergistically combined, to provide: unrivaled high-speed cruising efficiency , and provide safe offshore handling, with unimpeded shallow water operation, including beaching, without foils or props contacting the bottom.

Aspen Launching New 35-Foot Power Cat with 3 Cabins
Aspen Power Catamarans is starting work on a new 35-foot C108 cruiser, with three private staterooms and Aspen’s trademark asymmetrical proa hulls, powered by one 200-hp Yamaha outboard and one 70-hp Yamaha outboard. Larry Graf, the founder, president and “lead adventurer” of Aspen Power Cats, says he will have a mockup of the new 35 at the Seattle boat show, from Jan. 24 to Feb. 1, with finished production models ready shortly after that.
The new 35 has a beam of 10’ 8”, which adds 8 inches to Aspen’s earlier C107 model. The wider beam also adds interior volume and comfort for longer cruises. The salon is large enough to hold a large wraparound dinette/seating area, similar to the one in the company’s 40 footer. It also makes room for a new starboard side quarter berth and a larger head compartment.
The galley is up, on the port side, with the U-shaped dinette/lounge to starboard. A private quarter berth cabin is under each one, while the master, with an athwartships king berth, is forward. The boat has one head with a shower. It also is trailerable, so you can cruise easily in separate parts of the country, or different segments of the Great Loop, for example.
Aspen’s patented proa hull, patterned after South Seas catamarans, results in one hull being larger than the other. Graf experimented with different sizes of outboards for the new 35, before settling on the 70-hp Yamaha on the smaller port hull, and the 200-hp Yamaha for the starboard hull. He points out that the smaller 70 is perfect on its own for trolling.
The proa hull is seakindly and sturdy; it’s made with Kevlar-reinforced fiberglass with watertight bulkheads and double bottoms. To prove its performance, last summer Graf drove one of his 34-footers more than 1,100 miles down the Mackenzie River in Canada’s Northwest Territories to the Arctic Ocean.

15 of our favorite 35 to 45-foot catamarans
Second-hand is of course cheaper…and is often the opportunity to sail aboard a multihull which is ready to set off (again). From 35 to 45 feet, the budgets remain moderate, with some good opportunities. We have chosen for you 15 of the most well-known 35 to 45-foot boats, which will therefore be easy to re-sell when you return – if you choose to return one day…
Rather well-canvassed and above all quite light, this catamaran is reputed to sail well.
Curvy and convivial, the saloon is adjacent to a functional galley.
Fast for its size, the 381 is also pleasant to sail. Top speeds of 20 knots are on the cards!
The nacelle’s low volume and the narrow hulls lend themselves more to a small crew.
The 380 takes up the broad outline of the 410, which came out three years earlier…but offers engines accessible via rear lockers rather than under the berths.
The nacelle and its large vertical portlights offer an uninterrupted view and excellent protection from the sun.
Certain owners report top speeds of over 18 knots. Seawinds are fast!
The nacelle is occupied by the saloon alone; as a result, there is no lack of space at aperitif time!
An unusual silhouette, especially head on… But the marked longitudinal steps in the hulls keep the waterline beam moderate, and offer good performance.
Small floor area in the nacelle, but welcome vertical portlights to limit the greenhouse effect.
Well-canvassed, the Lavezzi is capable of averaging 9 knots during ocean passages – if the trade winds are present.
The triangular saloon table and the offset companionways guarantee easy movement around the bridgedeck.
The steering positions offer a good view of the sail plan.
At the cost of less than fluid movement around the boat, nothing is lacking aboard, and you can spend long months on the water.
Maximum freeboard for comfort in the hulls, but a tall rig so you don’t get stuck in light airs.
The owner’s version which offers the happy skipper a full hull, with a large bathroom and desk, is our preference. The companionway can even be closed, to cut oneself off from the bridgedeck.
The first examples, equipped with a non-overlapping jib, deserve a ‘real’ genoa, to pep them up!
Rounded saloon and athwartships aft berths: the designer Olivier Flahault presents some appealing and functional innovations.
51 four-cabin models as opposed to 13 private owner’s versions: it’s not easy to find a three-cabin boat!
All the Leopard 43’s berths are arranged athwartships.
Two innovations on deck: the builder has provided a forward cockpit and a raised steering position.
The vertical portlights provide an exceptional view of the sea, light and no greenhouse effect. At the price of debatable aerodynamics.
Thanks to its double 'steps', the Leopard 44 succeeds in keeping the hulls quite slim at the waterline.
With 2.12 m of headroom, the saloon is comfortable. And there is no lack of light, thanks to its generous portlights.
The sail plan, with its mast positioned well forward, clearly favors the mainsail.
The U-shaped galley inherited from monohulls is appealing in use: you are perfectly secure when the sea is rough.
Marc Lombard took great care to design rather slim hulls. A good point for performance.
Inside, we find once again the Privilege finishing quality and the very special atmosphere aboard these catamarans built for demanding owners.
This 45 is certainly a particularly fast catamaran, but it is also very safe in heavy weather.
The compact nacelle reduces the liveable volume. Ideal for lightening the boat and offering more trampoline area.

Athena 38 Best seller in the under 40-foot category
In 1994, the Athena 38 came in between the Tobago 35 and the Venezia 42, two boats whose design it echoed – rounded lines, pug-nosed bows and a coachroof extension. Although it remains relatively lightweight, it is slower than the builder’s previous models. Its hulls are in fact appreciably beamier, and the freeboard is higher. It is thus perfectly suited to a long cruise in the West Indies or the Mediterranean, as a couple or a family. On the other hand, during long passages, it is a little lacking in length for a smooth passage through the sea. Nevertheless, its load-carrying capacity is appreciable for a catamaran of less than 40'. Pleasant under sail, easy to handle, this model quickly became a great commercial success – for both charter companies and private individuals – to such a point that it remained in its builder’s catalogue for almost 10 years. In 1998, the Athena was improved: we enjoyed a better view forward, thanks to a new steering position, directly inspired by the one on the Bahia 46. A solid platform was also provided, aft of the mainsheet track. This model’s strong points: great comfort, despite its modest size, easy movement both on deck and inside, and a particularly successful rounded saloon. The finishing on this model is clearly improved, compared to previous generations; just a few glued headlinings can be noticed here and there.
The plusses: very liveable catamaran for its size, good performance, very pleasant bridgedeck
The minuses: Not comfortable to windward in big seas, tiny hull portlights, small chart table
Most of the boats are still in good overall condition. To be checked: sails, engines, electric circuit, standing and running rigging. For those who wish to set off, check the following points: forestay and gooseneck fixing points, and steering cables.

Discover the Top Power Catamarans for 2024
- By Yachting Staff
- Updated: September 10, 2024
Power catamarans have seen a surge in popularity, growing both in size and appeal. These cruise-focused yachts offer homelike comfort, fuel efficiency and user-friendly operation, making them a favorite among avid travelers. Their popularity extends to the bareboat charter market for the same reasons.
In this article, we explore the world’s top power catamarans, ranging from a 36-footer ideal for a cruising couple to a 78-footer perfect for entertaining friends and family. The propulsion options are diverse, including outboards, diesel inboards, hybrids, and even all-solar setups.
Top Luxury Power Catamarans
The following power catamarans are all vessels we’ve reviewed. They are listed in no particular order.
- Fountaine Pajot MY44 : A family-oriented cat suitable for long-range cruising and aimed at owner-operators.
- Silent Yachts 60 : This is a catamaran that can cruise comfortably for long distances using emissions-free solar-electric propulsion.
- Horizon PC74 : With interior and deck space like a much larger vessel, the PC74 is perfect for cruising the Bahamas and Caribbean.
- Aquila 36 : This beefy 36-footer is an outboard-powered, express-cruiser-style catamaran.
- Lagoon Seventy 8 Powercat : A spacious design, this vessel fits the volume of a 130-foot-long monohull into just 78 feet of length overall.
- Horizon PC68 : This cat has a stable ride, long range, volume to spare and intriguing layout options.
- Two Oceans 555 : An elegantly simple yet luxurious 55-foot custom with the space and amenities of a much larger vessel.
- Lagoon 630 : From its open salon to its spacious decks, the Lagoon is a comfortable and luxurious platform.
- Fountaine Pajot MY5 : A midsize cruiser with serious big-boat space for family and friends.
- Prestige Yachts M8 : The voluminous 65-footer lets owners customize onboard spaces.
- Aquila 47 Molokai : Calling all anglers: This cat has 60-plus-knot speed and is set up for serious bluewater adventure.
Fountaine Pajot MY44
The Fountaine Pajot MY44 , a creation of Italian architect Pierangelo Andreani and French designer Daniel Andrieu, has a main deck that’s open from the aft-deck seating all the way forward to the starboard helm station. The sense of spaciousness is significant, for several reasons. First, four glass panels aft can all slide to port, creating an indoor-outdoor space with the aft deck and salon. In the salon, 32-inch-high windows extend for 12 feet down the sides of the yacht, with three sections per side, bringing in natural light along with the three forward panes that comprise the windshield. Finally, 6-foot-6-inch headroom provides vertical clearance, with a 21-foot-7-inch beam that adds interior roominess while keeping the yacht stable.

Silent Yachts 60
Solar panels, ocean-crossing range and self-sufficiency define the electric Silent-Yachts 60 power catamaran. If there was any question that the “Tesla moment” has arrived in yachting, the Silent 60 clearly provides a positive response. Consider, for a moment, crossing oceans in silence at 5 to 6 knots without consuming a drop of fuel and never needing to plan your course between fuel stops. Imagine sitting at anchor and running the air conditioning all night, not to mention all the galley appliances plus the washer-dryer, without the hum or fumes from a genset.

Horizon PC74
As founder and director of The Powercat Company, a Horizon Power Catamarans distributor, Stuart Hegerstrom had long believed that catamaran builders needed to design their yachts to more stylish standards.
“The boats were very boxy,” he says, based on his years of experience with cats in the charter market. He and his partner, Richard Ford, asked Horizon to produce models that had high-end finishes and looked good inside and out.
The Horizon team brought in mega-yacht designer JC Espinosa to work with its own craftsmen. The result aboard the Horizon PC74 is a catamaran with exterior styling, layout and functionality that should appeal to private and charter owners alike.

The Aquila 36 is a departure from her sisterships in that she is an outboard-powered, express-cruiser-style catamaran, but she also adheres to MarineMax’s philosophies.
With a single main living level from bow to stern and a beam of 14 feet 7 inches, the Aquila 36 is like a bowrider on steroids. She has seating that can handle 20 adults for outings and barbecues, and there are two staterooms below, one in each hull, for family weekending. The staterooms have nearly queen-size berths, en suite heads, stowage and 6-foot-6-inch headroom.

Lagoon Seventy 8 Powercat
Lagoon is a division of Groupe Beneteau, the world’s largest builder of sailing yachts, and the Lagoon Seventy 8 Powercat is a developmental sistership of its Seventy 7 super sailing cat. The Seventy series yachts are built at Construction Navale Bordeaux in France, which had to add a new yard to construct these catamarans because they require separate stern molds for the power and sail versions.

Horizon PC68
Multihull yachts ride differently than monohulls, often counteracting the sea’s motion for a smoother, more stable ride. On the Horizon PC68 , sharp hull entries make head seas seem gentle, and a Humphree stabilization system with blades reduces roll. Horizon uses SCRIMP construction for resin saturation that maximizes strength with an 111,112-pound displacement. And with a 5-foot-4-inch draft, the PC68 invites island cruising.

Two Oceans 555
With 27-knot speed, house-like volume, an on-deck master and top-tier tech, the Two Oceans 555 is a formidable power catamaran. Dave Jirikovic of HMY Yachts was on a quest. The sales broker was looking for the meanest, nastiest patch of Gulf Stream he could find to show a potential client what the Two Oceans 555 power cat could handle. And just as he had intended to show us, the broad-shouldered power cat didn’t even notice. He even dropped the single-lever throttles back to idle and left the 25-foot-wide Two Oceans 555 beam-on to another set of square-edged seas. The 55-footer brushed that off too. Jirikovic tried quartering into the seas—never a happy angle for catamarans—and the yacht drowsed through them.

Fitted with the optional twin 300-horsepower Volvo Penta D4 diesels, the Lagoon 630 MY burns only 1.64 gph total at 6 knots, giving a theoretical range of 2,952 nautical miles with standard tankage of 793 gallons. Hull No. 1 had an optional 502-gallon tank, giving it transatlantic range.
Luxury, stability and economy are all hallmarks of Lagoon’s return to luxury motor yachts. If you can take a ride, it will be worth your time.

Fountaine Pajot MY5
The flybridge deck on the Fountaine Pajot MY5 is a standout feature, offering virtually unobstructed 360-degree ocean views and an elevated beach club vibe. Aft of the off-center starboard helm is a spacious area perfect for entertaining, complete with a wet bar, refrigeration center, and ample seating. It’s the most popular space aboard according to the builder. And if the weather turns for the worse, a second helm station in the saloon allows the skipper to pilot the MY5 in climate-controlled comfort.

Prestige Yachts M8
How fitting it was that Prestige Yachts introduced its new M-Line flagship, the M8 , at Portopiccolo, a picturesque yachting village outside Trieste, Italy. Formerly a quarry, the cliff-side area had been chiseled into a clean site rife with eye-catching vistas, much like the French builder’s 65-foot power catamaran and its nearly 3,000 square feet of usable real estate.

Aquila 47 Molokai
With every boat, there’s an origin story. In the case of the Aquila 47 Molokai power catamaran, it starts with MarineMax, which saw people renting boats for bareboat charters. MarineMax Vacations was born. After experimenting with several production yachts, the company decided to build its own: the Aquila line, designed for charter as well as for sale to owner-operators.

Driving and Docking a Catamaran: Guide for Boaters
Catamarans have grown in popularity among boaters, both for recreational sailing and long-distance cruising. With their dual-hull design, they offer stability, speed, and ample space. However, driving and docking a catamaran is a unique experience compared to single-hull boats. This guide will take you through the essentials of operating and maneuvering a catamaran, covering its driving characteristics, docking tips, common challenges, and an overview of pricing and specifications for some popular models.
What Is a Catamaran?
A catamaran is a boat with two parallel hulls connected by a deck or bridge. This design provides more stability and reduces drag in the water, making catamarans faster and more efficient than monohull boats. Catamarans are known for their spacious interiors, increased living space on the deck, and shallow draft, making them perfect for coastal cruising and anchoring near shores.
There are two primary types of catamarans: sail-powered and power catamarans. Each has unique driving and docking considerations, which we’ll explore below.
Driving a Catamaran
Understanding the dual hulls.
Driving a catamaran differs from operating a monohull because of the boat’s width and the twin hulls. Here’s how the catamaran design affects driving:
- Stability : The wide stance of the hulls makes catamarans more stable, reducing rolling in rough seas. However, it also means they handle differently when turning and responding to wind or current.
- Manoeuvrability : Catamarans are agile, especially power catamarans, due to the ability to control each hull’s engine independently. This gives them better control, especially when docking or navigating tight spaces.
- Wind Influence : Catamarans are more susceptible to wind because of their large profile and lightweight design. Sail-powered catamarans especially benefit from their ability to harness wind, but this can make them tricky to drive in strong winds when compared to monohulls.
Key Differences in Driving a Catamaran
- Speed and Efficiency : Catamarans glide across the water with minimal drag, making them more efficient and often faster than their monohull counterparts. When driving, you’ll find that maintaining speed requires less fuel or wind power.
- Turning Radius : Catamarans tend to have a wider turning radius, requiring more space to make turns. However, with dual engines (on power catamarans), you can pivot the boat using differential thrust, making it possible to spin in place.
- Handling Waves : Unlike monohulls that cut through waves, catamarans ride over them. This makes for a smoother experience but also means that waves can impact both hulls differently, requiring you to adjust your steering.
Docking a Catamaran
Docking a catamaran requires a combination of skills and careful attention to the conditions. The wider beam, lighter weight, and susceptibility to wind present unique challenges. However, with some practice, catamarans can be docked smoothly and efficiently.
1. Approach at an Angle
When docking a catamaran, the first rule is to approach at an angle. This gives you more control and allows you to adjust for wind and current. A slow, controlled approach will help you compensate for any unexpected movements.
2. Use Differential Thrust
If your catamaran is equipped with twin engines, you can use differential thrust to your advantage. This involves using more throttle on one engine and less on the other to make precise movements, including rotating the boat to line it up with the dock.
3. Mind the Wind
Wind can have a significant impact when docking a catamaran, especially if the boat is light. Always dock into the wind if possible, as this gives you better control. If the wind is pushing you toward the dock, approach more slowly to avoid collisions.
4. Use Fenders and Lines
The width of a catamaran makes fender placement especially important. Place fenders along both sides of the boat to avoid damaging the hulls. Additionally, set up docking lines in advance, as this will help you secure the boat once it’s close to the dock.
5. Shallow Draft Considerations
One advantage of catamarans is their shallow draft, which allows you to dock closer to shore in many situations. However, be mindful of the depth and obstacles near the dock to prevent damage to the rudders or keels.
Common Challenges When Docking a Catamaran
- Wide Beam : The wide stance of a catamaran can make finding appropriate dock space more difficult, especially in crowded marinas.
- Windage : Catamarans are more susceptible to wind, especially when docked in open areas. Wind can easily push the boat off course, making docking more challenging.
- Limited Docking Space : Some docks aren’t designed to accommodate the wider beam of a catamaran, which may require special arrangements or berthing in less accessible areas.

Driving and docking a catamaran is an exciting and rewarding experience, but it comes with unique challenges.

With time and practice, you’ll find that catamarans offer unparalleled comfort, performance, and stability on the water.

Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or new to boating, mastering the art of driving and docking a catamaran will open up a world of adventure on the open sea. Happy sailing!
