What Makes a Catamaran the Right Choice?
A catamaran's twin hulls give it a much wider stance in the water than a monohull of the same length, which resists rolling, reduces rocking motion, and typically opens up more deck and cabin space for the same footprint. That stability and space is why catamarans have become popular for both cruising and entertaining on the water.
Whether you want a power catamaran built for fast, fuel-efficient cruising, or a sailing catamaran set up for longer passages under sail, talking it through with Capt. Bob narrows the search fast — no filters, no guesswork, just a real conversation about how and where you actually boat.
A Strong Lake Michigan Sailing Tradition
Milwaukee has a deep Lake Michigan sailing tradition, with an active racing calendar and reliable lake breeze that draws sailors from across the region.
A catamaran — twin hulls for extra stability and deck space, whether under sail or power — fits right into that Great Lakes sailing culture. Capt. Bob can help sort out what actually fits how you plan to sail.
Catamaran FAQ
What makes a catamaran more stable than a monohull?
A catamaran's twin hulls are spaced wide apart, giving it a much wider stance in the water than a monohull of the same length — that width resists rolling and reduces the rocking motion many boaters feel on a single-hull boat.
Power catamaran or sailing catamaran — which is right for me?
Power catamarans are built for speed and fuel-efficient cruising under engine power alone, while sailing catamarans are built around sail plans for wind-powered cruising with an engine mainly for maneuvering — the right choice comes down to whether you want to cruise under power or under sail.
How much does a catamaran cost?
Catamaran prices vary widely by size and whether it's power or sail — a smaller catamaran can start in the low six figures, while a larger, blue-water-capable model can run well into seven figures.
