ADVANTAGES OF A GALAPAGOS CATAMARAN

There are several advantages of cruising on board a catamaran versus a monohaul yacht to mention a few:

• SMOOTHER RIDE: Almost any Multihill will offer you a smoother ride in the water due to the dual hill design and the construction's parachute effect as the boat cross cuts the waves. Air trapped between the hulls cushions the impact of re-entry. As the Catamaran does not land on the hulls centerline, like a monohull would,the effects of the impact are spread over a wider area.
• STABILITY: Load levels on a Catamaran can be up to 20% greater than a similar size monohull. Catamaran is incrementally more stable as they do not pivot on the centerline. The footprint is wider, helping to negate the effects of the rolling seas.
• MORE DECK SPACE: A Catamaran is wider than a monohull yacht offering additional deck space and sun bathing areas.
• ENVIROMENTAL FRIENDLY: All power Catamarans have less hull resistance in the water, resulting in fuel efficiency( comparatively it takes less horsepower and fuel to accomplish optimal performance in a power Catamaran than in a power monohull).
• ACCESS TO REMOTE AREAS: The Catamarans shallow draft design allows access to waterways that most conventional hulls cannot navigate.
