Three types of vessels
The hull shapes your holiday more than the length does. Here is what each one gives you.
Sailing Catamarans
Stable, spacious, home-like. Life on board happens on the water, not just near it.
Two hulls, so it barely heels. Nobody feels ill, drinks stay on the table, and everyone can be somewhere different at the same time — one asleep on the trampoline, three in the cockpit, two swimming off the back. A cabin in each corner means nobody draws the short straw over who sleeps forward.
- Best forFamilies, two or three couples, anyone chartering for the first time
- Typical size40 to 60 feet, three to six cabins
Sailing Yachts
For those who sail as much as they holiday — wind, heel and quiet.
One hull, and it does the thing properly. It heels, it points upwind, and about ten seconds after the engine goes off it becomes very quiet. It is also the more economical week, twice over: less to charter than a catamaran of the same length, and less to berth once you are there.
- Best forCrews with sailing miles behind them, couples, groups who want more yacht for the money
- Typical size38 to 55 feet, three to five cabins
Motor Yachts
When the point is the place. More water covered in less time.
A Motor Yacht covers in a morning what a Sailing Yacht covers in a day, which turns a scattered handful of islands into a single holiday rather than a choice between them. Nobody has to learn anything, or be somewhere when the sail goes up.
- Best forShort trips, spread-out cruising grounds, groups with mixed appetite for sailing
- Typical size45 to 70 feet, three to five cabins
