Video shows moments before superyacht went down in storm off Sicily

Newly released video captures a luxury superyacht being battered by a violent storm before it suddenly sank off Sicily with 22 people aboard Monday.

The grainy images obtained by NBC News and other outlets were recorded on closed-circuit television not far from where the Bayesian was anchored, about a half-mile from the port of Porticello, on Sicily’s northern coast .

The yacht's 250-foot mast, illuminated with lights and lashed by the storm, appears to bend to one side before it finally disappears and is replaced by darkness.

The speed with which a yacht built to handle the roughest seas capsized stunned maritime experts.  

“I can’t remember the last time I read about a vessel going down quickly like that, you know, completely capsizing and going down that quickly, a vessel of that nature, a yacht of that size,” said Stephen Richter of SAR Marine Consulting.

British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and five of the 22 other people who were aboard the 184-foot vessel remain unaccounted for and are believed to be trapped in the Bayesian’s hull, nearly 170 feet underwater.

Officials confirmed Monday that at least one person, the ship’s cook, had died.  

UK's vessel Bayesian

Superyachts like the Bayesian, which had been available for charters at a rate of $215,000 a week, are designed to stay afloat even as they are taking on water to give the people aboard a chance to escape, Richter said. 

“Boats of this size, they’re taking passengers on an excursion or a holiday,” Richter said. “They are not going to put them in situations where it may be dangerous or it may be uncomfortable, so this storm that popped up was obviously an anomaly. These vessels that carry passengers, they’re typically very well-maintained, very well-appointed.”

Built by Italian shipbuilder Perini Navi in 2008, the U.K.-registered Bayesian could carry 12 guests and a crew of up to 10, according to online specialist yacht sites. Its nearly 250-foot mast is the tallest aluminum sailing mast in the world, according to CharterWorld Luxury Yacht Charters. 

On Tuesday, Italian rescue workers resumed the search for Lynch and the five other passengers still missing: Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter, Hannah; Morgan Stanley International Chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife; and Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife.

“The fear is that the bodies got trapped inside the vessel,” Salvatore Cocina, the head of civil protection in Sicily, told Reuters .

The Bayesian is owned by a firm linked to Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, who was one of the 15 people rescued Monday after it capsized.

Divers of the Vigili del Fuoco, the Italian Corps. of Firefighters, near Palermo

“It’s extremely rare for a boat of this size to sink,” Richter said.

What’s not rare is the kind of storm that sank it , said Simon Boxall, senior lecturer in oceanography at Britain’s University of Southampton.

“People assume the Mediterranean is this rather calm and passive place that never gets storms and always blue skies,” Boxall said. “In fact, you get some quite horrendous storms that are not uncommon at this time of year.”

The president of Italy’s meteorological society has said Monday’s violent storm may have involved a waterspout, essentially a tornado over water, or a downburst, which occurs more frequently but doesn’t involve the rotation of the air.

Luca Mercalli, president of the Italian Meteorology Society, also said recent temperatures may have been a factor. 

“The sea surface temperature around Sicily was around 30 degrees Celsius [86 Fahrenheit], which is almost 3 degrees more than normal,” Mercalli told Reuters. “This creates an enormous source of energy that contributes to these storms.”

The Mediterranean sailing vacation was designed to be a celebration for Lynch, who two months ago was acquitted by a San Francisco jury of fraud charges stemming from the 2011 sale of his software company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion.

Prosecutors alleged that Lynch, dubbed “Britain’s Bill Gates,” and Autonomy’s vice president for finance, Stephen Chamberlain, had padded the firm’s finances ahead of the sale. Lynch’s lawyers argued that HP was so eager to acquire Autonomy that it failed to adequately check the books .

Lynch had taken Morvill, who was one of his defense attorneys, on the luxury trip. 

Chamberlain was not on the Bayesian.

In what appears to be a tragic coincidence, a car struck and killed Chamberlain on Saturday as he was jogging in a village about 68 miles north of London, local police said.

“Steve fought successfully to clear his good name at trial earlier this year, and his good name now lives on through his wonderful family,” Chamberlain’s lawyer, Gary Lincenberg, said in a statement .

Captain: Pieter Van Steenis

MEET THE CREW FOR 2020/21 Pieter has been sailing for over 30 years on family owned yachts. Sailing and racing around the Northern part of Europe in tidal waters as well as Mediterranean waters with almost all wind conditions. Before earning a living as a sailing yacht captain, Pieter had a professional career at Tesla for six years in Australia, so he is always focused on customer experience and word of mouth marketing. His main goal is to ensure guests get from A to B in a safe way whilst focusing on an overall fun experience. Pieter is an avid kite surfer and adventurer, and will gladly tailor your vacation to be a unique experience for everyone on board. Originally from Montana, Mackenzie traded in her small town roots for an array of passport stamps from around the globe. She’s spent time working and learning in restaurants and bars in Australia, Vietnam, and France and held onto the cuisines from every place, from taking cooking classes in Thailand to making meals every evening with her study abroad family in Lyon. Before working in the Mediterranean, Mackenzie was managing a high end beach club in Bali, where she dealt directly with guests and staff from around the world, providing exceptional service to guests. But when she was offered a position to combine her love of cooking with the challenge of living on the water in Croatia with new people, she jumped at the chance. Since then, Mackenzie has shared her love of life on the water with guests in Croatia, Montenegro, the Bahamas, Florida as well as the USVIs and BVIs. She loves to connect with her guests and show them a truly unique holiday, and knows that with the help of her dynamite captain Pieter, everyone will walk away with some amazing memories. Having trained together in their early days as skipper and host in Croatia, as well as on the waters with guests, Pieter and Mackenzie are a proven, excellent team and are thrilled to be able to provide you with the best possible vacation throughout the Virgin Islands!

<yachtCrewYrChart>0</yachtCrewYrChart> <yachtCrewLang></yachtCrewLang> <yachtCrewProfile>MEET THE CREW FOR 2020/21<br /> <br /> Pieter has been sailing for over 30 years on family owned yachts. Sailing and racing around the Northern part of Europe in tidal waters as well as Mediterranean waters with almost all wind conditions. Before earning a living as a sailing yacht captain, Pieter had a professional career at Tesla for six years in Australia, so he is always focused on customer experience and word of mouth marketing. His main goal is to ensure guests get from A to B in a safe way whilst focusing on an overall fun experience. <br /> Pieter is an avid kite surfer and adventurer, and will gladly tailor your vacation to be a unique experience for everyone on board. <br /> <br /> Originally from Montana, Mackenzie traded in her small town roots for an array of passport stamps from around the globe. She&rsquo;s spent time working and learning in restaurants and bars in Australia, Vietnam, and France and held onto the cuisines from every place, from taking cooking classes in Thailand to making meals every evening with her study abroad family in Lyon. <br /> Before working in the Mediterranean, Mackenzie was managing a high end beach club in Bali, where she dealt directly with guests and staff from around the world, providing exceptional service to guests. But when she was offered a position to combine her love of cooking with the challenge of living on the water in Croatia with new people, she jumped at the chance. <br /> Since then, Mackenzie has shared her love of life on the water with guests in Croatia, Montenegro, the Bahamas, Florida as well as the USVIs and BVIs. She loves to connect with her guests and show them a truly unique holiday, and knows that with the help of her dynamite captain Pieter, everyone will walk away with some amazing memories. <br /> <br /> Having trained together in their early days as skipper and host in Croatia, as well as on the waters with guests, Pieter and Mackenzie are a proven, excellent team and are thrilled to be able to provide you with the best possible vacation throughout the Virgin Islands! <br /> </yachtCrewProfile> <yachtCrewPhoto>https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtimg/yacht6753/6753brochure44.jpg</yachtCrewPhoto> <yachtCrew1Pic>https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtimg/yacht6753/6753crew1.jpg</yachtCrew1Pic> <yachtCrew2Pic>https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht6753/6753crew2.jpg</yachtCrew2Pic> <yachtCrew3Pic></yachtCrew3Pic> <yachtCrew4Pic></yachtCrew4Pic> <yachtCrew5Pic></yachtCrew5Pic> <yachtCrew6Pic></yachtCrew6Pic> <yachtCrew7Pic></yachtCrew7Pic> <yachtCrew8Pic></yachtCrew8Pic> <yachtCrew9Pic></yachtCrew9Pic> <yachtCrew10Pic></yachtCrew10Pic> <yachtCrew1Name>Pieter Van Steenis</yachtCrew1Name> <yachtCrew2Name>Mackenzie Thomas</yachtCrew2Name> <yachtCrew3Name></yachtCrew3Name> <yachtCrew4Name></yachtCrew4Name> <yachtCrew5Name></yachtCrew5Name> <yachtCrew6Name></yachtCrew6Name> <yachtCrew7Name></yachtCrew7Name> <yachtCrew8Name></yachtCrew8Name> <yachtCrew9Name></yachtCrew9Name> <yachtCrew10Name></yachtCrew10Name> <yachtCrew1Title>Captain</yachtCrew1Title> <yachtCrew2Title>Chef/First Mate</yachtCrew2Title> <yachtCrew3Title></yachtCrew3Title> <yachtCrew4Title></yachtCrew4Title> <yachtCrew5Title></yachtCrew5Title> <yachtCrew6Title></yachtCrew6Title> <yachtCrew7Title></yachtCrew7Title> <yachtCrew8Title></yachtCrew8Title> <yachtCrew9Title></yachtCrew9Title> <yachtCrew10Title></yachtCrew10Title> <yachtFlag>Foreign </yachtFlag> <yachtHomePort>Virgin Islands</yachtHomePort> <yachtWBasePort>Virgin Islands</yachtWBasePort> <yachtRig></yachtRig> <yachtGrossTons></yachtGrossTons> <yachtAcNight>No</yachtAcNight> <yachtAcSurCharge></yachtAcSurCharge> <yachtTubs>0</yachtTubs> <yachtLocationDetails>Located in the Virgin Islands </yachtLocationDetails> <yachtTerms>CT</yachtTerms> <yachtPriceDetails>4 Night minimum charter LESS THAN 7 NIGHT CHARTERS: for 6N divide by 7N X 6N.

MEET THE CREW Captain: Alan Owen Chef/First Mate: Iona Matheson Al was born in South Africa, and by the age of 8 he was a regular at the local yacht club, racing in Optimist dinghies. This began his long association with boats and water sports. He moved to Ireland as a young adult, and spent the next eight years as an outdoor instructor. Disciplines covered included sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and paddle sports. Archery, indoor climbing, orienteering, mountain biking and swimming. Al has competed at national and international level in both dinghy and keelboat racing , and represented Ireland in kayak surfing at World Championships. Offshore racing in J 24’s had whetted his appetite to pursue a career in a maritime setting and he enrolled on a Professional Offshore Yachtmaster course . He then worked as Flotilla Lead and bareboat Skipper for Sunsail, Dubrovnik, Croatia, before setting his sights on the Caribbean and fulfilling a lifelong dream to captain a yacht in paradise. When at home you’ll find him hunting surf along the West Coast of Ireland, either on a board, windsurf, or more recently on his wing foil. Iona was born and raised in Scotland. She studied Psychology and English Literature at the University of Glasgow, and worked in hospitality to fund her travels to Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Canada, and all over Europe. Her love of cooking was ignited by attending cookery workshops around the world, and she became passionate about flavor combinations, menu creation, and mixology, through working in the hospitality sector. After graduating, she decided to move to Ireland to follow her passion for outdoor sports. A lover of movement, she is also a qualified yoga teacher, and an instructor of aerial acrobatics and aerial dance, which she is always keen to share with adults or children! Iona can’t wait to serve you beautiful and delicious food, and tailor the experience, the menu, and the provisions on board to your choosing. Iona and Al met 5 years ago working as outdoor sports instructors. They got together after he introduced her to sailing, united through a love for adventure, life on the water, and water sports. They are experienced in working together as a team with family groups including children, adult groups, and disability groups. They worked together, as Skipper and Hostess, on a monohull sailing yacht in Croatia for a season facilitating Flotilla holidays, and experience which they both adored. This spurred them on to set their sights on the Caribbean, where Al has already been working as charter Captain for the past year, while Iona furthered her culinary skills at cookery school in London, and became a Day Skipper. Al and Iona can’t wait to welcome you aboard Sea Dog and give you the experience of a vacation of a lifetime!

Thank you for an amazing experience. This is our 5th trip down to the USVi and this was by far the best!

The two of you work great together and you do a wonderful job taking care of your guests. Tammy and I appreciate your hospitality and hope someday we can sail with you again.

42 Shades of Blue Caribbean Waters

My husband and I just returned from a glorious week aboard Sea Dog, with Captain Mike and Julie. It was the experience of a lifetime. The boat was grand, and immaculate. The BVIs and USVI were spectacular. Who can resist those 42 shades of blue Caribbean waters. But the best was Captain Mike and Julie. They made this trip all the more special. Captain made sure we visited all the places on our wish list and got us there safely and with a smile. And Julie! What a surprise at every hand-crafted meal, from homemade icecream to perfectly cooked sea bass. I regret our dinners on shore because I was sure we were missing something better on board. They made our trip truly the best experience of a lifetime.

We will never forget this adventure. The entire week was magical. We anticipated this for over a year and you made it come alive beyond our expectations. There are few inflection points in life - THIS was one of them. Thank you for being part of our DREAM!

Gracious and Accommodating

This has been an unbelievable experience. You have both been such gracious and accommodating hosts. The food prepared by Julie was absolutely fabulous and definitely better than many high end restaurants at which we have dined. the accommodations were great. Thank you so much for making this trip so very special!!

Will Not Be Our Last Trip!

Fantastic Crew

You two are not only fantastic crew but wonderful hosts! Mike exudes confidence with the boat and can tackle anything that comes up. Very impressive. The itinerary you arranged for us was perfect and we have fallen in the love with the area now! Julie, you meals were off the charts. Your presentation and tablescapes were so fun and creative! But your selection of food for oure entrees and desserts was beyond our expectations. Absolutely beautiful. We are already planning our trip for next year! Please stay in touch and come see us in Annapolis.

What a Week!

What a week! We had a fantastic time! Your hospitality is amazing. The itinerary was perfect for the little people with us. I can´t think of anything I´d change or any improvements I could recommend. You are both A+ hosts and good people to hang out with.

Hospitality Second To None!

Memories to last a lifetime! I can´t imagine two better hosts to show us the magic of the islands. Their knowledge is unparallelled, food was outstanding and the hospitality is second to none. Thank you again for an unforgettable excursion

Nothing Short Of Extraordinary

Thank you for sharing your passion, expertise and the wonders of the islands and sea with us. Our vacation on board Sea Dog with you has been nothing short of extraordinary. We will carry these moments and these days as treasured memories. We loved every minute and are looking forward to our paths crossing again.

So Thoughtful In Everything You Do

Thank you for making our trip to USVI/BVI so wonderful. We had so much fun exploring the islands and beaches, enjoyed getting to know you and hearing your life story, and made so many special memories aboard the Sea Dog. You make an incredible team and are so thoughtful in everything you do.

Hospitality Is Extraodinary, A Treasure So Rare

Sailing with you on the Sea Dog has been a dream come true. Your company is fantastic and you´re the best crew. Your hospitality is extraordinary, a treasure so rare. You´ve given us a vacation of memories to share. Captain Mike, a navigator supreme, guided Sea Dog like a nautical Dream. Julie, a master chef, her culinary art. Each meal a masterpiece, a delight from the start. To pristine beached and blue seas. The Sea Dog sailed, The beauty of the islands Each day wonders unveiled. We are grateful to sail with you For this is a dream come true!

Can It Ever Get Any Better!

Our last evening we stayed in Caneel Bay on St. John, the end of a glorious week of adventure, beauty and fun. This was our first time to the Virgin Islands, the first time on a catamaran and I find it hard to imagine it can ever get better than this. The natural beauty of the islands can only be seen in their entirety from the water. The many deserted coves and beaches, where we walked in the soft sand and snorkeled in the crystal clear water, were an up-close and immersive experience second to none. Our son loved the underwater sea scooters and the wake board. Our oldest daughter would go out on the stand up paddleboards, and our youngest daughters jumped from the upper deck in between relaxing and handing out. Mike was the perfect boat captain. Everything on board worked well, there was plenty of water for showers and all the toys and activities were already for use. He sailed us to the best of the islands, taking into account the weather and waves so we had a comfortable and enjoyable trip. On the longer stretches Miked showed anyone who was interested how to sail the catamaran, how to go fast and avoid the other ships and boats while getting to where we wanted to go. Mike led our weeklong vacation while being kind, pleasant, and confidentially in command. This certainly made it easy for us to relax and enjoy the experience. As Mike led the boat, Julie led the accommodations and especially the kitchen. meals were the highlights of each day! The quantity, quality and presentation of breakfast, lunch, snack and especially dinner was wonderful. Juslie is an outstanding chef. The cuisine was fresh and flavourful while at the same time being hearty, healthy and a joy to behold! She kept the living area neat, clean and attractive! While exploring both the American and British Virgin Islands we felt like we were in a floating luxury hotel. Every day provided a new and unique experience and the transit from island to island was an ever changing seascape of stunning natural beauty. Every person in our family rates this as one of our best vacations ever. The only thing that might make it better was if we had a small convoy of 2 to 4 catamarans shared with friends and family, each crewed by a couple as thoughtful and capable as Mike and Julie. Thank you!

Thank you for the awesome week on the Sea Dog! The food was amazing! Thankful for all your knowledge about the islands. We are blessed to have spent the week with you both.

Deep Gratitude

The work you do is so important and so appreciated. Just wanted to express our deep gratitude for the dedicated work you do day after day. Because of you Mike and Julie, our time on Sea Dog was one of the best vacation ever.

Wonderful Experience

Thank you for a wonderful experience. The meals were amazing. We appreciate your hospitality and look forward to another trip soon!

Championed This Entire Memory For Our Family

GUEST REVIEW TO BROKER We arrived home safe and sound last night. I wanted to let you know what an amazing time our family had on the SeaDog. We were treated like family by Nick and Kate and our son absolutely adores Nick. He spent so much time helping Nate fish and educating him on things, that we saw Nate come out of his shell and have great moments of dialog with Nick. We couldn’t be more happy than this. Kate prepared amazing food all week and waited on us hand and foot. The SeaDog was very clean and accommodating. We couldn’t have had a better crew. We highly recommend Nick and Kate, they championed this entire memory for our family. Thank you.!!!!

BROKER PROVIDED REVIEW

Yacht Name: Sea Dog Rating of Yacht & Crew: 5 Was the yacht comfortable and clean? Yes very good layout and very clean. Was the yacht well ventilated? Very - we kept the doors open during the day and the AC was nice and cold at night Was the crew friendly and accommodating? Our crew was absolutely amazing. Captain Nick was the perfect balance of fun and safe. I knew about 30 mins in to being on the boat that he had our safety as his number one priority and that he knew sailing inside and out. He took us to great spots and when he wasn’t busy sailing he was busy cleaning up, getting toys out, helping Kate, or answering any of our million questions we were always throwing at him. He fished with us every night and that was definitely a highlight of the trip. Kate…no words. I think I speak for all of us when I say we wanted to take her home with us! She was the sweetest, kindest hostess we could ever imagine. Her food was delicious and her drinks were even better! She worked so hard the week we were there and you could tell she loved every minute of it. It would be hard to imagine doing this trip with anyone else. Was the food good and well presented? Yes the food was amazing. Every meal was delicious and our Chef, Kate, took into consideration all of the likes/dislikes we each told her about. Additional comments about the yacht and crew? We can’t imagine a better time than the one we had onboard Sea Dog with Kate and Nick. Every aspect was perfect - from the planning with VI Sailing to the trip itself. The boat was beautiful and safe and our crew took the best care of us. It was hard to leave on the last day. Cruising Area Did you like the area you chartered in? Yes! We were so glad we were about to visit both the USVI and BVI in one trip.

Our Crew Was Absolutely Amazing

We had the best week ever on Sea Dog with Captain Nick and Chef Kate. Every aspect of the trip far exceeded any expectations that we had. The boat was beautiful. Very spacious and the lay out was perfect for our group of 6 to be together or spread out when needed. Our absolute favorite feature of the boat was the flybridge. It was where we ended every day and I can’t imagine being on a boat without that space. Our crew was absolutely amazing. Captain Nick was the perfect balance of fun and safe. I knew about 30 mins in to being on the boat that he had our safety as his number one priority and that he knew sailing inside and out. He took us to great spots and when he wasn’t busy sailing he was busy cleaning up, getting toys out, helping Kate, or answering any of our million questions we were always throwing at him. He fished with us every night and that was definitely a highlight of the trip. Kate…no words. I think I speak for all of us when I say we wanted to take her home with us! She was the sweetest, kindest hostess we could ever imagine. Her food was delicious and her drinks were even better! She worked so hard the week we were there and you could tell she loved every minute of it. It would be hard to imagine doing this trip with anyone else.

Absolute Best Way To See the USVI & BVI

We just returned home from a fabulous week aboard the Sea Dog. We were celebrating a couple of 40th birthdays with some dear friends! We could not have chosen a better boat and crew. Nick & Kate took the best care of us and made the week even that much better! They even joined in on our 80s theme night. Loved getting to know them and would sail again with them in a heartbeat! Sea Dog was the perfect size for our group and we loved all of the snorkeling, SUP, and fishing! The sky bridge was my favorite spot for pre-dinner happy hour. This was the absolute best way to see the USVI & BVIs. We cannot wait to do it again!

Unmatched hospitality!

Thank you for all your hard work! You made our vacation relaxing, enjoyable and memorable. Your hospitality and attention to detail is unmatched! We wish you well in your future adventures

Appreciative

A Good Balance - Activities and Relaxation

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for an amazing, unforgettable, once in a lifetime experience. Looking forward to this, but not knowing what to expect, we relied on your guidance and knowledge. We were able to see some of God´s most beautiful creations. Thanks Mike for smooth sailing and taking us to some great snorkel spots. It was a good balance between activities and relaxation. We sure got lucky and spoiled with some amazing food and will be dreaming of how delicious everything was.... and probably need to go on a diet when we get back home :) I think it is safe to say, that this has been the best vacation for all of us.

Best Crew Couple!

Thank you!!

I wanted to send a quick note about our trip. I’ll start with fantastic! Wonderful! Amazing! Spectacular! It TRULY is just gorgeous. It is spacious and very well appointed.

Safe Haven T-2000 Voyager Luxury Catamaran

Back in April, Storm Kathleen slammed into the west coast of Ireland as a fearsome Force 10 gale, packing 70 mph winds and 15-foot waves. While locals sandbagged their homes and prepared for the worst, Frank Kowalski decided it was a swell day for a boat ride.

Safehaven Fast Power Cat

Evolved from Safehaven’s 75-foot XVS20 monohull launched in 2018, Kowalski used his expertise in building commercial, work-boat power catamarans to design the twin-hulled T-2000 Voyager to offer speed with stability.

“The stability in beam seas is what’s key here,” he says. “While we were out recently in a Force 8 with 40-plus knot winds and 12-foot seas, we were able to stop and leave the boat to drift while we retrieved a drone. It just took the waves on the beam with ease. In a monohull, it would have been rolling so badly you couldn’t have stood on the deck.”

Then there’s the sheer velocity that comes with twin, scalpel-thin hulls slicing through waves. With the T-2000’s pair of 1,550 hp MAN V12 diesels driving France Helices SD5 surface drives, the Safehaven can hit a top speed of 57 mph. 

Safehaven Power Cat

“It’s just the most amazing sight, standing on the stern, watching these huge roostertails behind,” Kowalski adds. “We’ve also incorporated retracting swim platforms so you can see the props spinning on the surface, plus valved exhausts that switch between silenced and straight-through. The noise from those V12s is sensational.”

His hull No. 1 demonstrator boat has all-diamond-quilted marine leather, well-finished cabinetry, colored LED lighting, and below-deck accommodations for six in three cabins. Hull No. 2—already sold and due for completion in the next 18 months—will up the luxury factor.

Safehaven Marine T-2000

“It’s going to a client in the Middle East who plans to use it for just himself and his wife,” says Kowalski. The client has specified a full-width owner’s suite with a central, king-size bed and oversized his-and-hers bathrooms and closets in each hull. “He also wants to go fast— very fast,” Kowalski continues. “So we’ll install twin 2,000 hp MAN V12s, again with surface drives, and a central hydrofoil to reduce drag. The plan is for it to hit a top speed in excess of 69 mph.”

The new T-2000 is also designed to go the distance. With the 2,900-gallon tanks, it has a range of more than 1,000 nautical miles at 34.5 mph, and 1,700 nautical miles at 18 mph. Throttle back to 12 mph and range increases to 3,000-plus nautical miles.

Much of this is down to the yacht’s symmetrical, semi-wave-piercing hulls, made of a carbon-fiber-composite construction, with inverted lower bow sections and a double-chine arrangement that projects spray clear of the boat. The hydrofoil in mid position also means that, at speed in calmish seas, the T-2000 rides with half its hull length out of the water.

Safehaven Marine T-2000 Power Cat

To eliminate waves slamming into the bridge deck windshield, Kowalski moved the pilothouse farther back. It also makes for a sleeker profile, giving the T-2000 the look of a single-hull sportsyacht.

The entire helm area gets flooded with light courtesy of the four-panel, angled windshield and quartet of fixed skylights above. To see the boat’s hydrofoil in action, the bridge has a glass panel in the floor that’s also designed for viewing marine life below at night. Most of the windows have half-inch-thick toughened panels to shrug off cascading water. 

Safehaven T-2000

In finer weather than typically found on coastal Ireland, the T-2000 has a small flybridge with a helm station and sun-lounge area up top, plus a covered stern cockpit with sofas and table for alfresco dining.

This storm-tested, metallic-red demonstrator is available for around $3.35 million.

15 Things That Change When You Live on a Catamaran

catamaran anchored at sunset

So, the dream of living on a catamaran is starting to look like a reality. You hit the internet to read as much as you can about life aboard.

I get it. For one, I was going to be ready for this big adventure and all the challenges that come with it. There was no way I was going to be caught unprepared. (Yeah… right.)

Preparing for Sailboat Living

When we moved on our sailboat, I quickly learned you have to experience this liveaboard lifestyle to understand the challenges.

It’s been almost two years of living full-time on our sailing catamaran. So, I decided to look at the day-to-day things that are different from our habits in land-based life.

Many things we didn’t think twice about have a massive impact on our lives on the boat. Things like water conservation, provisioning, cooking, cleaning, and adjusting to a small space all take time and energy.

Here are some of the big changes to everyday habits that we discovered living on a catamaran.

1. Laundry on a Boat

A few years back, I was one of those people who threw most things in the hamper after one wear. It was just easy.

Unless you have the convenience of a washing machine onboard, it’s not so simple to run a load of laundry.

Laundry hanging to dry on the sailboat lifelines

It costs money, and it can take a lot of time to haul your clothes around. Alternatively, handwashing is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and hard on your water usage.

To minimize laundry, you have to think about what you wear and how you wear it.

Summer Washing

In the summer, you can get sweaty just sitting on the boat.

I learned to wear quick-dry items like leggings, swimsuits, and UPF tops I could easily handwash with a small amount of water. If you can stretch the life of your outer clothing, you can clean undergarments and swimsuits in a small collapsible tub.

Winter Washing

Re-wearing clothes in the cooler months is much more comfortable than in the summer months. If it’s not dirty, I don’t wash it. If clothes smell or I’ve been doing boat work, I move them to the dirty pile. Just paying attention to these details reduces laundry. And the less you wash your clothes, the longer they’ll last.

2. Cooking Aboard

There are a few aspects of living on a boat that heavily influence your cooking.

Space. Access to ingredients. Water conservation. Ventilation.

If you only have a small area to prep, you learn quickly to do it in stages. Prepping vegetables, putting ingredients away as you work, and washing dishes as you go is also essential.

Access to Ingredients

Before boat life, recipes were iron-clad when I was cooking. But without the convenience of running to the store, they’ve become more of a guideline. You learn how to adjust recipes based on what you have on hand. You get comfortable substituting vegetables, different spices, and acidity for flavor.

Water Conservation

When off the dock, fresh water is at a premium. How much water you carry (or make) will dictate how you cook.

We do a few things to conserve water in the kitchen . Wash dishes in saltwater first. Use an Aquabot for pressurized cleaning. Cook pasta with a small amount of water. I’ve also embraced one-pot meals to save water on cleanup.

Ventilation

Our catamaran is “galley up,” so it’s easy to open the cockpit window above the stove to release heat and steam. But that’s not always enough.

We use the thermal cooker in the summer to avoid heating up the boat. You can make beans, rice, broth – even casseroles or banana bread without expelling heat in the boat.

READ NEXT: For more tips and ideas for cooking on a boat, check out our lists of easy and versatile meals on a boat and sailboat galley essentials .

3.  water usage.

When off the dock, water is a high commodity on a boat.

Water being poured from a filtered pitcher to a cup

Even with two 80-gallon tanks, water can go fast if you aren’t paying attention.

You can minimize water through small changes to your habits, including:

  • cooking pasta with a few cups of water
  • swapping soap for hand sanitizer
  • rinsing dishes on the sugar scoop
  • we even recycle the cat’s stale water in the herb garden

Me, I love hot showers. Just steaming for like 30 minutes, that’s my kind of heaven. So learning to shower with less than a couple of gallons of water was a big hurdle.

Conserving water can be a challenge, but you’ll be surprised what you can save when you use it thoughtfully.

We had days in the winter when we used less than 5 gallons. It just takes a little practice, as with most things on a boat.

READ NEXT: For more tips on conserving water, check out our guide to saving water on a boat .

4. sustainable practices.

When you live in a small space, you realize how many disposable items you are harboring.

When we first moved on the boat, the paper towel storage alone took up half a cabin.

Not only are you losing storage, but those disposable items are just that, future trash for you to deal with.

Ditching paper towels, plastic bags, and other single-use items saves space and money. As a bonus, you get to feel optimistic about creating less trash.

Here are a few sustainable options we switched to:

  • Reusable “Unpaper” towels
  • Cotton napkins
  • E-Cloths, microfiber towels
  • Beeswax wraps
  • Foldable reusable bags
  • Glass straws
  • A quality set of plastic containers in various sizes

5. fridge space.

The residential fridge. Something I took for granted as a landlubber. A fridge door full of condiments, anyone?

Managing food in a tiny fridge requires strategy and a little education.

Learning what you NEED to keep in the fridge is helpful. Sure, it’s nice to have cold ketchup, but necessary? No.

Sriracha, soy sauce, hot sauce, mustard – out you go.

We also switched to almond milk and tofu brands that only need refrigeration after opening. This way, we can still stock up without loss of fridge space.

The Right Storage

Once the condiment bottles are out, having the right storage makes all the difference.

containers organized in small boat fridge

Containers need to be the right size to fit inside shelves on the door and inside the fridge. You want various sizes, so you don’t need to use a huge container if you have a smidgen of something.

Prepping Vegetables

You can save more space by chopping fresh veggies when you get back from the store. Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and hardy greens can all be prepped ahead. I store any scraps in the freezer for homemade vegetable broth .

6. Provisioning

Keeping track of your grocery store when you live on a boat is crucial. You probably won’t be able to run back to the store because you forgot the butter.

Stocking Up

One of the nice benefits of living on a catamaran is the space.

We tend to stock up on these when we can.

  • Beans (dried and canned)
  • Grains, pasta, oats
  • Canned and dehydrated vegetables
  • Baking goods and almond milk
  • Oils, vinegars, spices, nuts, seeds
  • Wine and beer

Salsa, canned goods, and other provisions at the grocery store checkout

Most of the time, we are hand-carrying our groceries. So when we have the opportunity to have a car, we load up on heavy items.

When we plan to be at a marina, we have a list ready for Amazon and Walmart.com to have shipped.

READ NEXT: Get a detailed overview of stocking your boat in our Practical Guide to Sailboat Provisioning .

Supplementing fresh food.

We keep a variety of veggies on hand: dehydrated, canned, a little frozen, and fresh. When cooking, I use a little bit of everything to stretch fresh foods.

We have a nice space in the cockpit where we keep potted fresh herbs. They can really step up a dish!

Basil and other herbs growing in the cockpit

As a bonus, they add to the coziness of the cockpit living space.

7.  Downsizing Your Closet

Before I started to plan for boat life, I had a giant wardrobe. I love clothes. And I had been collecting them most of my life.

Believe me, when I tell you cutting my wardrobe down to less than 100 items was a long, emotional process.

A Minimalist Wardrobe

The less you have, the less you need to care for.

Aim for a wardrobe of pieces you love that work for living on the water. It’ll be easy to get dressed, and you’ll be happy in your clothes. And if you are managing your laundry (see #1), you won’t need many clothes.

Hanging storage and clothing baskets inside wardrobe locker

The owners’ version of our catamaran has great storage. I can easily see all the clothing in my wardrobe. I only need to store a few off-season items under our berth.

READ NEXT: For what type of clothing to have on your sailboat, see What to Wear Sailing . Or see How to Downsize Your Wardrobe for more on getting rid of clothing.

8. temperature control.

Spoiler: you don’t have much control of temperature at anchor. And what power you have isn’t as easy as turning the dial on the thermostat.

On a catamaran, you can pretty much open up the doors and hatches on the bridgedeck and get a cross-breeze on a hot day.

I was surprised that Georgia in August (as miserable as it was during the day) was never unbearable at night. We used Breeze Boosters over our cabin, and it worked wonders moving the air around at anchor.

Cold Nights

When it’s cold on a catamaran, you know it. There’s no insulation, and the boat cools down quickly. Below 40 at night is chilly.

Fortunately, if the sun is shining, it can heat the bridgedeck nicely in the morning.

Down blankets, the right clothing, and foul-weather gear will keep you from becoming an icicle.

9. Storing Things

On a boat, you can’t just throw your things in a locker and forget them. Nope.

You’ll need to plan when storing clothing, personal items, and food.

Mold, leaks, and bugs are all things to be concerned with.

Essential oils, bay leaves, vinegar, and plastic bags will be vital to protecting your items.

"Vinegar, mold control spray, bay leaves, and essential oils

You’ll also need to think about where you store things and how accessible they are. It becomes a bit of a puzzle to make sure you keep items you often use in an easy-to-access location.

10. slowing down.

A big part of living happily on a boat is moving at your own pace.

It is being in the mindset of appreciating what you are doing now and not continually looking to the next move.

When we first moved aboard, there was self-imposed pressure we should be moving faster – doing more.

When we finally slowed down and started to embrace the here and now, we enjoyed the boat so much more.

11. Your “House” Breaks (A Lot)

When things go wrong on a boat, they tend to go really wrong.

"Funny photo of feline crew of SV Sunnyside with sailing lines draped over his head

A pro and con of catamarans is there are a lot of duplicates. It’s great to have a backup, but it also means double the maintenance. Two hulls, two engines, two heads… you get the picture.

On the plus side, when our starboard engine broke, we were trying to maneuver through a bridge. We had to turn 260 degrees to turn toward the bridge, but one engine is better than none!

The hardest thing in these moments is keeping your head when everything is against you.

We try to slow down and take a breath if the situation allows. Once any immediate concern is taken care of, we take a breath before diving into solving the greater issue.

12. You Learn to Live Intentionally

Our decision to move on a sailboat was for the rewards of the lifestyle.

One of the most significant rewards is being intentional with space, time, and money.

Living on a boat offers freedom from your stuff. It allows you to live more simply.

On the boat, we get to spend more time with each other. We only have what we need because space is limited.

Don’t get me wrong. A boat requires time and money. But we are intentional about how we spend those when maintaining our floating home.

13. appreciation for nature.

Living in the Colorado Rockies for over a decade, it was easy to love the outdoors. But living on the water creates a deeper connection.

You wake up to the water lapping on the boat. The sun dances off the waves, throwing reflections across the cabin.

Walking outside at anchor and seeing the birds hunting for breakfast is a morning routine. And a sea turtle drifting by for a visit is not uncommon. Even relying on the sun for power and the wind to travel is part of the lifestyle.

All these experiences bring you closer to nature and beg you to slow down, breathe, and take it in.

14. Personal Space

It doesn’t matter how much you love your significant other. If you live on a boat together, you will be looking for some “me time.”

When you sleep, eat, shop, travel, and take care of a boat as a team, that’s a lot of togetherness.

How We Find Space

It’s nice to create spaces for personal time in a small space like a boat.

A big plus of a catamaran is you can create a few separate spaces.

We have four main spaces where we spend time: the cockpit, the trampoline, the salon, and the owners’ berth. Ensuring these areas are comfortable and cozy helps us find our own spaces in a tiny floating home.

Sometimes, it’s not about physical space but mental space.

I like to have personal time while I’m cooking. It’s something I enjoy, and I can put on my headphones with a show or playlist and tune in while I cook.

Even a quick solo kayak adventure is rejuvenating if we are in a nice anchorage.

15. Minimalism

Embracing minimalism was a change we made going into boat life. But it’s not the typical view of minimalism that has become trendy these days.

simple view of blue water and sand dunes

Minimalist Lifestyle on a Boat

The typical “rules” of minimalism aren’t as clear-cut on a boat.

We have a lot of extras when it comes to spare parts and tools. Some parts can be hard to come by, and with two engines, you need double the spares. Not to mention, things never break when there’s a West Marine around the corner.

We also have a lot of non-perishable food and duplicate personal care items. It’s easier to stock up when we have the opportunity. This process keeps our routine shopping to mostly fresh items.

How We Live Minimally

On the flip slide, we don’t have a lot of extra stuff – extra clothes, additional personal items, disposable items.

We don’t have more typical things you would find in a house, such as a dishwasher, microwave, or washer/dryer. We are minimalists with water and power when we’re off the dock. 

We aren’t the typical minimalists, but we use space intentionally. And we continue to evaluate our needs based on this lifestyle.

Can you live on a sailing catamaran.

After a year as liveaboards, many of your daily habits will change. We are still adjusting and finding the best ways to adapt to life on a sailing catamaran.

You lose many conveniences of the modern world, but it’s entirely possible to live without them. It comes down to deciding which comforts are important to you.

How you use space, time and money will shift. You’ll learn to be sustainable, thoughtful, and more self-sufficient.

Living on a boat is a unique experience. No matter how long you do it, it has the power to change the way you live in the future for the better.

That’s really great post. I appreciate, Thanks for sharing.

Glad you liked the post!

So glad I found this site, looking forward to exploring the rest of it! But here’s my first question, as someone who’s still in the "dreaming" stage: This article tells me that the most basic aspects of day-to-day living are a constant source of concern and effort. Yet there are yachts nicer than most five-star hotels. So what’s the price point (or size point, or whatever point) where your daily concerns don’t revolve around things like do we have enough water to cook dinner and how bad do my clothes really smell? Does frequent marina access solve these issues? Is there a way to live on a boat where it’s easy, or does that only happen in Jimmy Buffett’s songs?

Hi Frank and Lola, thanks for stopping by and asking some great questions! Generally, the number of conveniences onboard a boat directly correlates with the time and dollars needed to have those conveniences. So when you think of the hotel like yachts, also think about the captain and crew and resources it takes to keep them running. It’s the same with smaller yachts. Even when you have the systems, you still have to manage your power or resources to run the watermaker or watch the weather and route plan to get to the marina. This is one reason a lot of boaters opt for fewer systems.

I had to laugh in agreement at your Jimmy Buffett reference – I think Jimmy must be doing a lot of day boating, haha. I personally feel that if you had around a 45-foot cat and a big budget to outfit it, you could have a lot of modern conveniences (watermaker, large solar setup, washing machine, etc.) However, living on a boat is never going to be easy IMHO. You have to put in the effort to live on the water!

I hope this was helpful and didn’t discourage you. My goal is to provide a realistic view of the lifestyle!

Agree. Especially #11. We live on a monohull so only have one head to contend with. Also whatever the purchase price, expect to spend 10% a year maintaining said boat. Things break at the most inconvenient times and improvisation is absolutely key.

Hi Breanna, #11 is definitely a big one! And of course, the head is always interesting. The first time we had a real maintenance issue with the head I posted on Instagram and announced my husband and I’s relationship had officially made it through our first serious head malfunction, haha. As you mentioned, Improvisation is also so crucial! We tend to get pretty creative with solutions 🙂

What entertainment do you use on a long haul, such as books, cards, chess. How do you plan the nights such as sleeping or on watch. Do you use automatic steering.

Hi Stephen, we like Audible for downloading books, I also like to download podcasts. We also use an external drive for movies. We do have and use an autopilot onboard. We don’t have experience with long passages, but The Boat Galley has what I think is a great article on the subject, you can find it here! https://theboatgalley.com/passagemaking-and-sleep/

Thanks for such an informative post. We’re in the process of buying a 42ft catamaran and plan on sailing up the east coast of Australia next year…scary and exciting!

I see that in some of you photos you have a gorgeous looking cat 😊 I’m planning on taking our 6 year old cat with us on the trip. Do you have any tips and advice on how to make life more comfortable and safe for a cat onboard and how to get them acclimatised to boat life?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Dee

Hey Dee, this is so exciting! I’m sure there’s lots of planning and preparation in your future but in a good way 🙂

I have a post about sailing with cats that you can find here – https://thehomethatroams.com/blog/cat-on-a-boat/

But in general, I would say to take it slow and keep a close eye on them in the transition period while they’re testing their limits. Our cat is good at finding any open compartments, so when you’re working on things or storing things, make sure they don’t slip in! You will probably want to use a life jacket in the beginning at anchor, as well as keep a good eye on them until they become more comfortable. The top of the bridgedeck seems to be a favorite spot for cats since they can see so much from up there!

Best of luck on your new adventure! – Morgan

Wow. Thanks for sharing your experience. Unfortunately, not all people experience that, so we must enjoy every second. Nice post!

China is escalating tensions in the South China Sea to test how far the US supports one of its allies, military analyst says

  • China has been escalating tensions with the Philippines in the South China Sea for months.
  • Its intention is to test how far the US would support the Philippines, one military analyst told CNN.
  • Collin Koh said between wars and the US elections, the US won't let itself be dragged into a conflict.

Insider Today

China is escalating tensions in the South China Sea to test how far the US supports one of its allies in the region, according to a military expert.

China wants to see how far the US would go to protect the Philippines, according to Collin Koh, a senior fellow at the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University.

"China is deliberately escalating the situation, with a likely intention to test how far Washington would support Manila," Koh told CNN .

The statement comes as tensions have risen between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea in recent months, with regular flashpoints becoming commonplace.

Last week, the Philippines accused China of repeatedly firing flares at its aircraft over the region.

A patrol plane was threatened by flares from a Chinese island base as it conducted a "Maritime Domain Awareness Flight" in one incident last Thursday, according to a statement by the Philippines' National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea.

And in an X post on Monday, Philippine Coast Guard spokesperson Jay Tarriela said China had deployed 40 vessels to block its delivery of supplies to soldiers stationed in Sabina Shoal, a disputed island claimed by both China and the Philippines.

Rising tensions

It's not the first time China has escalated tensions with the Philippines in the region.

In June, Chinese coast guard armed with swords and knives attacked Filipino vessels in the contested waters, resulting in injuries and one soldier losing a thumb.

At the time, General Romeo Brawner, the Philippines' top military commander, said the incident "constitutes a blatant violation of international maritime law, Philippine sovereignty, and sovereign rights."

Related stories

A month later, China's largest coastguard vessel dropped anchor in the Philippines' exclusive economic zone, which the latter described as an act of "intimidation."

Sari Arho Havrén, an associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute who specializes in China's foreign relations, told BI in June that China's provocations are meant to "exhaust" neighboring countries into accepting its claims over contested waters.

Koh told CNN this week that China used this same strategy in 2012 to take over Scarborough Shoal, a disputed territory claimed by both countries.

He said that the Philippines is "trying to avoid what they call a repeat of the Scarborough Shoal."

How far could the US go to protect its ally?

Despite tensions, the US has so far avoided a direct confrontation with China.

But under a 1951 defense treaty , the US is expected to defend the Philippines should an armed attack occur on its forces.

Speaking at the 35th Annual International Military Law and Operations Conference in the Philippines this week, Adm. Samuel Paparo, head of the US Indo-Pacific Command, said that the "escort of one vessel to the other is an entirely reasonable option within our Mutual Defense Treaty."

This suggests that the US could send naval ships to escort Philippine vessels on resupply missions.

However, given Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, and the upcoming US presidential elections, it is not in the US' interest to let itself get dragged into a conflict, Koh said.

And "the Chinese know that Manila has very limited options if they could not depend on US help," he added.

Catamarans are quickly outstripping single-hull boats for long-distance journeys. They are more stable and comfortable , and some can travel more than 200 miles in a day. In today’s article, I have put together a complete (well almost) list of some of the best catamarans for circumnavigating the planet; the question is, which one is best for you?

The best catamarans for sailing around the world include: 

  • The Fountaine Pajot Ipanema 58

These cats focus on speed, safety, and comfort for longer journeys. 

This article will show you the seventeen best catamarans for long journeys, and why they’re the best. You’ll also learn some great tips on what to look for in a Catamaran and how to save money by buying a used catamaran. Let this list be a jumping-off point for your future research!

Pro-tip; here are the actual costs of maintaining a cat and here are considerations on how to circumnavigate .

The Best Catamarans for Sailing Around the World 

A catamaran is a double-hulled boat with a deck or cabin area in between (bluewater cat definition in this article ). The double hull design means that the boat rocks less, sits higher on the water, uses less fuel to sail, and can be sailed in shallower waters than a single-hulled boat without worrying about grounding. 

Catamarans come in a variety of sizes and can be sail-powered or motor-powered and range from single-person sailing boats to family-sized yachts. Every catamaran design is different, and the twin-hull shape offers many ways to customize the layout of a ship. 

Each boat on this list is a larger catamaran (+40ft, more on size here ), so if you’re going to sail around the world, you want lots of space for provisions and rest.

Of course, there are tons of technical specs for each of these boats, but I’m going to focus on the overall features of each of these catamarans, what makes them stand out, and why they would each be an excellent choice for a transatlantic journey. 

Antares 44i 

The Antares 44i is an excellent option for sailing around the world and was explicitly designed for long-distance cruising. It performs well in any weather conditions, can be sailed easily by two people, and you’ll be able to sail long distances and live in comfort. 

Although it can be easily sailed by a crew of two I believe that a true bluewater cat should be set up for single-handed sailing, more on that in another article .

This catamaran features a stateroom on each hull and a forward cabin with plenty of storage space. The living and entertainment features include a flatscreen tv and a high-end deck speaker system. 

With this model, Antares dedicates itself to high-quality boats with optimal rigging and engine configurations. 

Atlantic 42

Atlantic is no longer building this catamaran, but there are usually a few pre-owned boats on the market. You can also get it made custom if you love the design, but be prepared to spend more money on a custom boat (custom boat also gets custom problems ;)). 

The Atlantic 42 is slightly smaller than some of the other catamarans on this list but is a seaworthy vessel. 42 ft is what most sailors I interview ( in this article ) said was the smallest cat to safely cross big oceans. It is also a decent size to counter the risk of capsizing (more on that here ).

It has a forward cockpit and pilothouse, which gives the owner a better use of space and makes the boat easier to navigate. With single-handed capability, one person can sail it easily and let the rest of the crew relax. 

One of the best-praised aspects of the Atlantic 42 is its galley, more extensive than most 42-footers (12.8-meter) can offer. 

One of the few 50 footers (15.24 meters) that can be sailed by just one person (many would of course disagree on this).

The Catana 50 is a catamaran worthy of an overseas journey. Its size adds to its stability on the open waters and its ability to sail straight through the choppy ocean and windy conditions. 

The Catana is also incredibly spacious on the inside, with substantial cabins and showers. The biggest downside to the Catana 50 is its price, as it’s much more expensive than most of its competitors. 

Catana also holds up well against some of the fastest cruising cats out there, here’s a list of the fastest cruisers if you are interested in that.

However, if you can find a gently-used Catana 50, you can rest assured that this boat will last! 

The Dolphin 42 is unique because of the use of daggerboards instead of fixed keels. This upgrade means that the boat has some pretty decent upwind performance while at the same time being faster downwind.

Centerboards and daggerboards offer some interesting downsides compared to mini keels. This is an interesting discussion and I suggest you read another one of my articles if you want to deepen your knowledge a little.

These catamarans are some of the lightest on the market. Not many Dolphins were made, so they are relatively hard to find. However, if you want a small, lightweight boat capable of going great distances, the Dolphin 42 is an excellent choice. 

Fountaine Pajot Belize 43

The Fountaine Pajot Belize is another well-built cruising yacht. Its core is made of foam instead of balsa, which reduces the risk of structural damage due to a rotten core in case of water intrusion. 

The design of Belize offers many options for customizability, with large open spaces and a combined saloon, navigation, and dinette area. 

There are two styles of Belize catamarans for sleeping quarters. You can either purchase a boat with an entire primary suite on one hull or one with two cabins in each hull. The first option is great if you are sailing the world alone and not expecting many guests, as it increases the storage capacity. 

Understanding what factors to consider when getting a cat can be hard, there are just so many of them (such as the daggerboard discussion above), I have tried to compile some of the most important in this article .

The boat also has wraparound windows to increase the sense of space in the galley. 

Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40

Fountaine Pajot is one of the best sailboat manufacturers existing today, as their boats are well made and highly versatile. The Lucia 40 is no exception – it’s a smaller boat but has a lot of room for moving around and on-board living. 

The living area is remarkably spacious on this catamaran for its size. 

The galley and lounge easily accommodate 6+people. The Lucia 40 doesn’t disappoint when it comes to sailing either, as the narrow hulls slice through choppy waters with ease. 

Most catamarans today are built to withstand rough weather but that doesn’t matter as much if the crew isn’t up for the task, I firmly believe that the most important thing a boat should consist of, is knowledge. Therefore taking online courses ( two free here ) or reading books ( my favorites here ) is imperative.

Gemini 105M

Gemini’s boats have been on the market for years and are solidly built for cruising. This boat is one of the most popular ever made, I personally would consider something different for offshore cruising, but since it has such a good reputation, I felt I had to add it to the list.

If you want to understand why I am hesitant to take this boat around the world, I recommend you read my article: What are trampolines on a catamaran?

The Gunboat 62 is a great catamaran and set the standards for the rest of the impressive Gunboat lineup. It’s sleek and spacious while being robust and capable of transatlantic journeys. You can easily travel the world in a Gunboat 62 with several people and not feel cramped. 

The yacht was made for speed and power and remains one of the fastest catamarans on the market, even rivaling the newer Gunboat models.  GABO

Although the earlier models of the Gunboat 62 weren’t designed for a lot of cargo, you can still find space for everything you need without compromise. 

Lagoon catamarans are known for their reliability and ease of use. If you are considering a catamaran for the first time and are unsure about the technicalities of sailing, a Lagoon boat is a great option. 

The Lagoon 380 is probably the smallest cruiser on this list, which makes it better suited for solo or couple sailing.  

When I go looking to buy something, whether it be a boat, campervan, or whatever, I create a checklist and classify all the things I want either by NEED or NICE to have.

I believe the Lagoon 380 to be sub-optimal for my NEEDS, even though it does check a lot of NICE boxes, there’s a step-by-step article on the NEED and NICE method here .

There are several cabin options available on the Lagoon 380, but if you’re sailing by yourself, you can settle for three cabins and a larger galley and living space. With a smaller cockpit and broader side decks, the Lagoon 380 packs a lot of practicality and ease of sailing into a more compact catamaran. 

If you like the idea of a Lagoon boat but want a little more space, the Lagoon 42 is the upgraded version of the Lagoon 380. With all of the same benefits, it comes with more space for cabins or storage, making it one of the best-selling Lagoons of all time. 

The Lagoon 42 is also a faster cruiser built for strength. While it’s not the fastest on the market, it works well in choppy waters and windy conditions, making it great for the beginning sailor to go on a more extended trip. 

Many people have completed an around-the-world sail with this ship.

Although there is a flybridge version, I would recommend the “open” version due to several factors, some including increased windage and a higher boom. More on flybridges pros and cons here .

For stability, safety, and durability, you can’t beat the Lagoon 42. 

The Leopard 45 performs better with less storage weight because of the relatively low bridge deck clearance. If the boat is fully loaded, you could experience some wave pounding. However, the cockpit is open and airy, with devices that block the sun and provide maximum comfort while sailing. 

The Leopard 45 is an incredibly beautiful boat,   and has a strong reputation for excellent build quality!

Leopard catamarans are one of my personal favorites, as such I have written an entire article about the brand, so if you want to understand its pros and cons then here is the link . Gabo

Designed in South Africa, it features a high rear arch for extra support and very smoothly connected decks. The galley is large and open, and most Leopards offer a four-cabin plan. If you are traveling with another person, this boat is an excellent option for you! 

The Manta 42 is another classic catamaran that you can buy used (at a decent price), as it is an incredibly seaworthy vessel. While still in production, the Manta was one of the most popular catamarans on the market. 

It is still in high demand amongst circumnavigators. Buying a used Manta 42 usually means that you inherit some of the previous owner’s boat upgrades! 

The Manta 42 also made it to my list of the 9 safest catamarans on the market ( link ).

This blue water cat can be sailed by one or two people, making it ideal for liveaboard couples or long-distance shorthanded sailing. The galley is in the saloon ( instead of in one of the hulls ), making the cabins below more spacious and better equipped. 

Overall, the Manta is well equipped for sailing around the world. 

Nautitech 44

Nautitech is an excellent brand of the catamaran, with several different designs per boat. The Nautitech 44 has a unique feature, you can have it with two options for steering: twin wheels or a single wheel.

The Nautitech 44 also features a cockpit on the same level as the saloon. The door between the two is more convenient than a hatch and dramatically reduces the risk of water damage during rain pour. 

This is also the same boat that aeroyacht president Gregor owns, he has offered some great insights into Nautitech in the book Catamarans (amazon link )

Outremer 45

Outremer is famous for being one of the fastest brands of catamarans on the market. If you need speed, the Outremer 45 might be the perfect choice for you. It has a top speed of 16 knots, which is higher than almost every other catamaran of its class. 

While the Outremer 45 is known for speed, it doesn’t compromise on the quality of living. 

You can settle into life on this boat with complete peace of mind. Even as a beginning sailor, the steering is simple and easy to use, and the autopilot is top of the line, so you’ll be able to sail across the ocean in an Outremer without issue. 

Privilege Serie 5

A French-designed catamaran, the Privilege Serie 5 is one of the most comfortable 50-foot (15 m) yachts available. The unique cabin layout includes the master cabin in the boat’s center instead of in one of the hulls. 

The Privilege Serie 5 is also incredibly easy to sail, despite its larger size. 

The sails and controls lead to the helm, where the raised deck makes it easy to see all around the deck. If you want to cross the ocean with a full crew then the Privilege Serie 5 might be perfect for you! 

Seawind 1000

The Seawind 1000 is the smallest boat on this list, measuring 33 feet (10 meters) long altogether. However, this doesn’t mean that it’s not livable. If you are sailing on your own or with a partner, there is more than enough space to live in the Seawind 1000, which includes the option of a centered cabin or two hull cabins. 

Because it’s small, the Seawind 1000 is easy to handle. The mast and sails are all manufactured for extra stability and ease of use. 

Overall, the Seawind 1000 is an excellent example of a simple, safe, and seaworthy catamaran. 

Note: since this is a small catamaran it will also be more sensitive to heavy weather so trip-planning becomes even more important.

The Voyage 44 is one of the oldest cats on this list, having had its hay-day in the mid-1990s. However, this also means that a used Voyage 44 will be cheaper than a newer boat. If you can find a Voyage with previous responsible owners, you will inherit any upgrades and fixes that they’ve made on top of a very seaworthy boat. 

The Voyage 44 has more storage and space than most cruisers of its size and is known for behaving very well in choppy waters. 

This catamaran does its job well while providing adequate space for cooking, sleeping, and living aboard. 

What To Look For in a Long-Distance Cruising Catamaran

If you are planning to sail around the world, you need to be very careful about which kind of catamaran you decide to use. Many of the things you want in a boat really comes down to personal preference, so be sure you know what design preferences you want before you start shopping! 

Size and Payload

The most important thing to consider when buying a catamaran is how much space and cargo you need because the larger the boats are, the bigger the payload it can handle. Decide how long you want the ship to be and how much you’re taking with you. 

It’s vital not to overload a catamaran, this will reduce performance and increase risk of unwanted behavior in heavy seas.

Cabin Placement  

Most catamarans have options for a “Maestro” cabin placement, where one entire hull is the master suite, and the other cabins are located on the opposite hull.

Cockpit and Protection From The Weather

Is the cockpit on the boat you’re looking at covered or open? This can make a difference on the high seas, especially during rainy weather. 

The size of the ship also can affect how many people you need as a crew. If you’re traveling by yourself or with one other person, you don’t want to buy a boat that needs a larger crew. 

Buying Used? 

If you don’t want to spend the money on a brand new catamaran, I don’t blame you. Several of the ships on this list are out of production and can only be found used. However, for circumnavigation, you do want a boat of high quality to keep you safe and dry until you make it to your destination.  

When buying a suitably used catamaran, it’s essential to look at the refit history of the boat more than the year it was made. Catamarans are sturdy, and the general design has been the same for at least the past decade. 

If you find a newer, larger, cheaper boat, you should look into its history. 

Your best bet to save money while buying a catamaran will be to buy an older, probably smaller boat with an excellent refit history and no serious issues. It will still be an investment, and a sturdy used catamaran will serve you well. 

Final Thoughts

No matter which catamaran you decide to buy for your journey, you’ll be able to sail safely and comfortably. Catamarans are great yachts for long-distance sailing, and the ships on this list are the best of the best. These brands are time-tested and ready to accompany you on an adventure around the world! 

Here are Some of My Favorite Catamaran Cruising Resources

Thank you for reading this article. I hope you found it helpful as you hopefully start your sailing adventures. Here are some resources that I use as a sailor that I hope you’ll also find helpful. These are affiliate links, so if you do decide to use any of them, I’ll earn a commission. But in all honesty, these are the exact things that I use and recommend to everyone, even my own family. Sailboats: If you’re looking for the best boat to suit your needs, I would recommend a catamaran. If you’re interested, I can show you the differences between catamarans and other types of sailboats .

Books:  For getting started, I really like  Cruising catamarans made easy . It is actually a textbook from the American sailing association; it is used to get a cruising catamaran certification. There are some other great books, and I have compiled a list of books about cruising catamarans that you will find useful.

Communication:  Being out on adventures, whether it be sailing or climbing mountains, good communications are essential to being safe. I recommend two things Google fi (incredibly simple cellular data all over the world) and Garmin inreach mini (for text and voice in remote areas without cell coverage)

Sailing courses: Online sailing courses are great for beginners starting out their sailing career; it’s an efficient way of learning the basics of navigation, throttle controls, and maritime safety. I suggest starting with two free courses from NauticEd .

Paris Hilton defends not putting life jacket on 1-year-old son Phoenix while out at sea: ‘It’s a big boat’

P aris Hilton hit back at mom-shamers who criticized her for allowing her 1-year-old son, Phoenix, to walk around on a boat without wearing a life jacket.

The “This Is Paris” star, 43, posted a sweet TikTok video Wednesday of her and husband Carter Reum‘s little boy waddling around aboard a luxury Sunreef catamaran during the family’s summer vacation.

“Watching Phoenix explore the world has been so special to me! I am so grateful to be a #SlivingMom,” Hilton captioned the clip, which she set to Ed Sheeran’s 2014 hit “Photograph.”

While several fans flooded the comments section with supportive messages for the mom of two, who also shares 9-month-old daughter London with Reum, concerned netizens offered up some unsolicited advice.

“Momma, please have him wear a life jacket always on a boat!! Stuff happens. That’s why they’re called accidents. With love,” a social media user commented on the post.

“we are all here for the life vest advice right? Beautiful boat, beautiful life, still safer with the jacket,” a second person wrote.

“Please from one mom to another.. life jacket!” a third commented, with another adding, “My anxiety not seeing him in a life jacket! Can never be too safe on the water!”

Hilton replied to the trolls by explaining that the luxury vessel was very big and her son was nowhere near any danger.

“Hey Mamma’s [sic], thank you for the advice & always caring about my #CutesieCrew,” she wrote in the comments section of her post. “It’s a big boat & my husband and I are following him around everywhere & watching like hawks. My babies are my world.”

Several fans backed up Hilton’s assertion that her son was safe due to the size of the fancy catamaran.

“Guys this boat is way bigger than it seems in this video. A life jacket would be silly, and worst case scenario, they taught him to swim,” a social media user wrote.

“You do you xx pheonix is having a ball xx and 100% safe,” another supporter cheered.

“You are an amazing mama!! Your #cutsiecrew is lucky to have you in their corner,” one person gushed.

Sunreef Yachts is known for its opulent ships and grand boats that feature stylish designs and modern finishes for the wealthy.

While it is unclear which model Hilton and her family used, the company’s website describes its catamarans as being “constructed for enjoying yearlong transoceanic adventures in the deep blue sea.”

The site boasts that each electric vessel is “ultra-silent, vibration-free and fumeless” as well as “easily maneuverable [and] energy efficient … with immense living spaces for dining and lounging.”

The “Cooking with Paris” host and Reum, who tied the knot in November 2021, welcomed Phoenix and London via surrogate on Jan. 16, 2023, and Nov. 11, 2023 , respectively.

This isn’t the first time Hilton has sparked safety concerns for her kids. She was slammed for the way she positioned her kids’s car seats this past May, prompting her to admit that “no one is perfect.”

That same month, the “Stars Are Blind” singer was called out for allowing her son to swim in the water while wearing his life jacket backward and subsequently thanked her followers for informing her of her mistake .

Can You Get Seasick on a Catamaran?

book2sail-seasick catamaran 1170x659 1

The most simple answer to the question if you can get seasick on catamaran most simply answered it would be “yes, you can, however…”. Yes, however, people who are sensitive to motion sickness are less likely to get sick on a catamaran in comparison with other mono-hull vessels. This is simply because catamaran motion is gentler and more predictable. The interesting thing here is that these vessels can prevent sickness as well while in the hull.

boat hire marmaris turkey

Catamarans  are also less likely to make you sick because of the overall structure and the design of the boat. This is because they are a multi-hull vessel with their living quarters based on the deck on top. The boats have separate twin engines placed away from the living quarters, which can prevent seasickness by keeping the noise and the fumes away from where you stand at the moment. This is why cats are often used for commercial or tourist vehicles – because if you cruise with them you have a decreased chance to become seasick.

Even though you have an incredibly small chance of getting nauseated while cruising with a catamaran, there are things you can do when it comes to  overcoming seasickness completely .

How to Get Over Seasickness?

Can you get over seasickness, really? Well, if you are one of those people who don’t know how to overcome seasickness we have a few tips that can help you solve that issue. Or, at least make the process easier.

The first thing you need to check is what type of vehicle you will be on. If nothing else, this will help you plan for the journey and you will be able to predict the degree of sickness you can experience. After you are prepared for the journey, there are a few basic things you can do in order to reduce the feelings of sickness while traveling.

  • Eat Lighter Meals Eating lighter meals and avoiding large or meals with a lot of fat can help you reduce seasickness. This works because queasiness can be worsened by heavy food sitting in your stomach.
  • Try to Dodge Alcohol Alcohol can cause nausea on its own and it can make things even worse.
  • Ride Closer to the Center of the Catamaran You should sit in a smoother area while you are on a boat. Smoother rides can reduce motion sickness. When you are on a ship, the closer you sit to the middle of the vessel, the smoother the ride is.
  • Get Distracted You should get distracted somehow, one way to do that is if you steer the ship if that is possible of course. This can help due to the fact that most people who get motion sickness in vehicles find that driving or steering provides a distraction and requires focus in front of them that can help them fixate. This can be also effective for sailing.
  • Try Consuming Ginger Much in the same way you drink ginger while you are sick, this can help the nausea of motion sickness and travel

Had a wonderful excursion to Sealounge Catamaran! The staff was terrific; very accommodating and fun! The beach was beautiful, they prepared a fabulous lunch, and the cocktails on the beach were perfect. I would do this again in a heartbeat!

Randall and the crew were awesome! They took us to a private beach where we ate, played with the jet skis, and snorkeled. They also took us to watch the sunset before taking us back to the dock! Highly recommended!!

We used Sealounge Catamaran for a boat party and they were great! The crew was awesome and very helpful, we explored a private beach where they cooked for us and rode jetskis. Plenty of tour for a large crowd and a nice roof that you can jump from. Definitely would recommend to others!

Great experience and service!I'll make this quick.What was provided for us: yacht, diving, snorkel, jetski, catered food, drinks, snacks, private beach.The staff were very friendly and service was great.

This beach is completely secluded and accessible only by boat, it nearly takes your breath away as you realize this is where you will be spending your day! Randall and his team are professional and extremely detail oriented. The beach is wonderful, white sand and the jungle flows right into the sand.
