Power catamarans are multihull power boats that are increasingly popular due to their stability, maneuverability and comfortable ride. They also have more deck and cabin space than traditional monohull powerboats, due to the fact they have dual hulls. They make great fishing boats, and excellent pleasure and day boats due to ample deck space.
The two hulls of a power catamaran are designed to cut through waves with less drag, thus increasing fuel efficiency and ride comfort. Many modern power catamarans are built with stepped hulls and utilize vented hull technology. These vessels range in size from 19 feet to over 100 feet.
Smaller power catamarans are mostly all powered by outboard motors mounted on the rear transom. Power options vary, but generally range from a single 100 HP motor up to triple or quad outboards and can achieve very high cruising and top speeds. Larger power catamarans are often powered by inboard engines and some are even powered by jet propulsion.
Optional equipment for power catamarans includes typical fishing gear such as fish finders, rod holders, riggers, navigation equipment, radar, premium marine sound systems, head, galley, luxury seating/upholstery, appliances and more. Larger, luxury power catamarans are often equipped with private staterooms, heads (marine toilets), premium upholstery, numerous entertainment options such as hot tubs, televisions, marine stereo systems and more.
Power Catamaran boats are larger size vessels usually used for time-honored endeavors such as overnight cruising and day cruising. They have a rich legacy as vessels that are sought-after due to their greater draft and wide beam, characteristics that make these vessels exceptionally well-suited for overnight cruising and day cruising. The average number of people that can be accommodated onboard power catamaran boats listed is 12 passengers, with a maximum capacity of 276 guests and crew. Models with more power can accommodate motors up to an enormous 3,439 horsepower, while shorter, more affordable models may have as low as 78 horsepower engines on them (although the average motor size is 600 HP).
