Catamaran Charter: Advantages, Brands and Prices

Catamarans are the fastest-growing boat segment of recent years. With a wide deck, shallow water performance and high comfort, they are ideal for both families and large groups. In this guide we share the tips for chartering a catamaran and the best routes in Turkey.

Advantages of a Catamaran

• Stability: Twin hulls make it far more resistant to seasickness
• Living space: Twice as much interior space as a monohull
• Shallow water performance: Access to bays a monohull can't reach
• Speed: Faster than monohulls in light wind
• Deck space: Large front net (trampoline) ideal for sunbathing
