You’re booking a yacht charter—amazing! But now you’re stuck on the big question: Should I book a power yacht or catamaran for my yacht charter vacation?
In this video, I break down the differences between power yachts and catamarans so you can pick the perfect boat for your trip.
First up—space.
Catamarans are like floating beach houses. Expansive decks, open layouts, and big cabins that are all the same size – so no one has to fight over who gets the bigger room.
Power yachts? Pure luxury. You’ll get a master suite, VIP cabins, and that high-end, private feel. Think plush interiors, sun decks, hot tubs, all the water toys and even saunas and gyms on some!
The next thing to consider is Speed & Itinerary
Are you trying to see as many islands as possible? Power yachts are FAST. You’ll be hopping from one spot to the next with no problem.
Catamarans? They’re slower but super fuel-efficient. If you love the idea of a laid-back cruise with smooth sailing, this might be your vibe.
What about Stability & Comfort?
Not a fan of rocking back and forth? Catamarans are way more stable than smaller power yachts, thanks to those two hulls. Great for families or anyone worried about seasickness.
Power yachts can handle some waves, but you’ll feel a little more movement—especially in open waters until you get to power yachts over 100 feet or with stabilizers underway.
How about cost & Fuel Efficiency?
The biggest variable cost on a yacht charter is fuel so If budget is a factor, catamarans win here. They sip fuel instead of guzzling it, which makes a big difference on longer trips.
Power yachts burn more fuel, but you’re paying for speed, style, and serious luxury. So, if that’s what matters most—worth it.
So, which one’s right for you?
👉 Want speed, sleek design, and next-level luxury? Go power yacht.
👉 Prefer space, stability, and a more relaxed experience? Catamaran’s your best bet.
