Sailing is a very excellent way of enjoying the fine weather along with your family. Since summer is drawing near, there is nothing better than being on board a boat and sailing off into the horizon. Just imagine having sunny days and cool nights on a boat, enjoying the beauty of life at sea. Well, this is dream summer activity is most definitely not impossible, as all you need is the perfect boat for you and your family and friends.

There are so many different boat models, according to sizes and usage. Smaller crafts such as dinghies can be perfect for a romantic day out with a special someone. If you want to bring your entire family without missing the feel of home, there are houseboats. These vessels are complete with kitchen, living areas, bedrooms and even bathrooms for that home far away from home feel. If you are into fishing, bass boats are an excellent choice, though these are only for fresh water. But, if you want a boat the has lots of amenities and is perfect for any sea activity, then power boats and power catamarans are the perfect kind for you.

Powerboats are slowly gaining popularity among boating enthusiasts. This type has two categories, the single or mono hull, and the double hull. Yes, there is a particular sail boat that has not only one but two hulls. This multiple hull boat is more commonly known as, yes you got it right, the catamaran.

The catamaran is a powerboat with two hulls. It looks very different from the usual vessels that we see, because it has two parallel hulls connected by a sleek frame. This type of craft is designed for comfort and total stability, though most boaters are not easily convinced of its safety. Before you scoff at catamarans and go on to find a safer looking ship, here are some of its advantages.

This boat offers unparalleled comfort. It does not heel like most monohulls, so it is more stable. They do not move back and forth in swells, so the people on board will enjoy their cruise more comfortably and with less chances of getting sea sick. The design also prevents sound from traveling from cabin to cabin, so utmost privacy can be expected.

It is maneuverable. Due to its light frame and unique design, cats are easier to move around and will not stress the boater out. Single hulled crafts need more room to be able to pivot successfully, but not this one. And because it has a thinner, more sleek center, cats can reach places that other crafts can not. All with ease, too.

Cats offer more space. Its two hulls allow you to bring more things as compared to boats that have only one hull. Aside from being spacious, everything in a catamaran is at eye level, so passengers do not have to go down dark cabins as with other water vessels.

Cats are faster than most. It has two engines that makes it out race any other vessel just as easily. Its unique design also means lesser drag and more speed.

There are still many more reasons to choose a catamaran over most boats. Though they are generally more expensive, all these advantages make it a good investment. A lot of boat dealers also offer different payment plans so owning one will not just be a dream but finally a reality.
