Catamaran Hire Whitsundays
Benefits of Hiring a Catamaran in the Whitsundays
Sailing and cruising the Whitsundays on a luxury catamaran is the ultimate holiday experience. Whether you are an individual, couple or family, sailing a catamaran is a great holiday option. Whilst traditional monohulls and yachts are popular among more experienced and professional sailors, more and more holidaymakers are seeking to hire a catamaran in the Whitsundays for their bareboat charter holiday.
The popularity of catamaran hire in the Whitsundays is due to the plethora of benefits that they offer individuals. The benefits of sailing in a Catamaran in the Whitsundays include:
Stability
As Catamarans are a multihull vessel, the twin hull design allows for smooth sailing across the waters of the Whitsundays. Level sailing is a desired feature for individuals who are less experienced and who desire a more relaxing holiday. Stability is also great for those prone to seasickness, young families and mature charterers.
Spacious
One of the most important features that people seek whilst sailing on the Whitsundays is more space. Catamarans often offer more space; they include larger cabins and saloon areas which is essential for lounging, socialising and dining on the pristine waters of the Whitsundays. Also, as the gallery, main saloon and cockpit are all on one level, not only get great views at all times but there is greater ventilation.
Privacy
The layout of catamarans allow for ultimate privacy on your Whitsunday holiday. Due to the twin hulls, cabins are spread over a larger area and there is a greater separation from the main living space. Depending on the size of your catamaran, there is always a cabin to escape to.
Storage
When you are sailing on the Whitsundays for a holiday, storage becomes of crucial importance. This is especially the case if you have planned a long yacht charter experience for more than 5 days with a lengthy itinerary. There is a large amount of storage on a catamaran in comparison to a monohull boat.
Docking ease
As catamarans have two motors and two rudders, they can be easier to dock than other vessels. Although training is provided prior to disembarkation, this feature is great for first time sailors and less confident individuals.
Sailing ease
Most catamarans can turn 360 degrees within their own length. This relieves many inexperienced sailors who may fret at the idea of making a wrong turn, especially if other boats are close by.
