Boat Types In Rogoznica

Is A Catamaran Right For Your Trip

Stability

Catamarans have two hulls, making them more stable than a regular monohull boat, both while sailing and at anchor. So if you don't like heeling over while under sail, a catamaran is the ideal choice.

Privacy

The split-hull design allows for better separation of living spaces, with cabins in each hull providing more privacy for guests. A perfect option for two families or larger groups.

Shallow Draft

Catamarans have a shallower draft (less boat below the water), allowing them to access shallow anchorages and get closer to beaches than a typical monohull.

Deck Space

The wide deck space provides ample room for sunbathing, outdoor dining, and relaxation.

Accessibility

With easy access from the rear deck to the water, swimming and water sports activities are a cinch - not to mention getting in and out of the tender to go ashore.

Sailing Characteristics

Catamarans sail differently from monohulls. They don't heel (tilt) as much, which can be more comfortable for some passengers but may provide less of a "sailing feel" for purists.

Layout

Catamarans often feature a raised helm station with excellent visibility, and many have a flybridge for additional outdoor living space.

Group Size

Catamarans can often accommodate larger groups comfortably, making them popular for family charters.

Comfort at Anchor

The wider stance of a catamaran makes it more stable at anchor so any rolling motion is reduced - making for relaxing meals and calm sleep.

PERFECT LANDING

Space

Catamarans offer more living space both above and below deck due to their wide beam. This means they tend to have larger common areas and more spacious cabins.
