Why choose a catamaran?
Catamarans have several advantages over regular monohull sailing boats. Catamarans have two hulls and are more spacious, sturdy and balanced. Regular sailboats lean on an angle when under sail, sometimes causing discomfort amongst guests not accustomed to life at sea. The instability of some classic sailing vessels can make it make more difficult to move around the boat. However, if you're looking for a stable ride, guests onboard a multihull will experience the beauty of sailing without having to hold on as much while moving about! That means you can make use of the ample deck space to sunbathe, read, eat, play or if they are feeling very adventurous, make use of the net at the front of the boat to watch the water rushing underneath them! Woosh!
Space can be an issue onboard any boat. Not to fear, however... guests are always surprised when they step inside a catamaran to find a large open living area and kitchen! Just like your living room, but amongst some of the most glorious islands in the world!
The cockpits on deck are spacious, with enough room for a skipper and guests to sit and enjoy the sunset over the Whitsunday Islands. Due to the extra space, families have plenty of room to let the kids play so parents can enjoy some peace and quiet, while couples can rekindle the romance if they book a private cabin on board. Groups have plenty of space to socialise and hang out onboard, relaxing and soaking up the views!
Catamarans are also shallow boats, meaning they can be brought in close to shore making exploring the islands easier with less distance between the boat the shore. Catamarans can anchor close to the world-renowned Whitehaven Beach, meaning guests can spend more time on the beautiful white silica sands of the famous beach. Another perk to a catamaran boat is that diving and snorkelling the coral reef is made easier as guests can hop off the back of the boat, easily swimming to and from the boat to reach the reef.
Choosing to sail a catamaran is a great choice for the best Whitsunday holiday, bringing adventure, luxury and nature together in one perfect trip.
