Final Thoughts:
When you decide to buy a new boat, it’s important to remember what your experience level is, what your needs and wants are, and how you want to engage in the open water.
These amazing boats are both luxurious and practical, allowing for several types of sailing experience. From huge luxury yachts for long-term sailing and huge parties to small practical ships that are great for a quick trip down the coast, these ships are sure to keep everyone happy.
New Versus Used Ctamarains:
Like always, it’s good to take the pros and cons into consideration for both new and used boats.
One of the biggest cons of a new catamaran is that it is incredibly expensive. You may want that brand-new, never been used feel to your boat, but you may also find that nothing fits your budget. Instead, there are a lot of loved and well-cared-for used catamarans out there that will do the job credibly, and are usually refurbished or updated from their original model year.
Many of the boats on our list have updated motors, solar panels that power their generators and updated GPS or autopilot features.
Regardless of how old the boat is, most likely you’ll end up with something carefully remade to fit each captain’s needs and wants!
You also want to make sure that when purchasing a used boat, you carefully inspect it for any issues or flaws. Especially if you are buying a higher-priced used boat, you will possibly want to consider getting it inspected by a marine inspector.
These people are trained to look for any and all issues in the mechanics, hull, and overall integrity of a used boat.
A boat is a very big commitment and you will want to make sure that you are purchasing one that is worth the money spent.
You also want to make sure that you know any immediate problems that may need to be fixed before you make the purchase so you can decide if those repairs are in the budget.
Don’t forget to take your own needs into consideration, and purchase a boat that you believe will not only work well for you but also will be easily customized to your personality and style.
Always consider what you’re looking for in a boat, and what will make you happiest both for your lifestyle, and your budget!
With so many amazing boats to choose from, how can you go wrong?
Because of their stability, catamarans are good vessels for combating seasickness as well as transportation. From racing to leisure, these ships are perfect for any boating lifestyle.
Here’s an in-depth guide we wrote on how to avoid being seasick and here’s exactly how catamarans stack up against other boat types when it comes to seasickness.
Mono-hull boats can be loud and rough but with a catamaran, you receive a smooth ride. You can stay on the water longer, and go farther. You’ll come back with more energy and fewer bruises. And, along with that comfort, you’ll have the confidence to head out in conditions that keep other boaters at the shore.
Catamarans also have multi-use, not just multihulls! They can be used to ferry people from place to place as well as vehicles and cargo! Finally, a catamaran can be perfect for getting from one island to another.
Catamarans are all-around great boats, and that’s why we know you’re dying to get one!
