Catamarans for rental

A catamaran charter combines comfort, stability, and easy cruising—an ideal way for families and groups of friends to explore island chains and coastlines at an unhurried pace. A sailing catamaran has two hulls, wide deck space, and a shallow draft, so you can reach quiet coves, shallow anchorages, and beaches that many monohull boats avoid. Below is a concise guide to help you rent a perfect catamaran, compare charter types, and plan an itinerary in popular destinations offered on Boataround.

Why Choose a Catamaran?

Stability, Space, and Shallow Waters

Modern catamarans prioritize comfort without sacrificing the thrill of sailing. The twin-hull design delivers notable stability underway and at anchor, and the beam provides ample space for lounging and movement on board. With a shallow draft, you can slip into shallow waters and anchor closer to shore—great for snorkeling, paddleboarding, and quick swims with guests of all ages.

Cabins, Decks, and Amenities

Charter fleets include catamarans ranging from compact 38-foot boats to large, luxury catamarans above 50 feet. Expect multiple cabins (often with en-suites), generous saloons, and shaded cockpits. Common amenities include water toys, solar, and efficient galleys—useful for a week-long voyage or a shorter trip focused on simple routines: sail, swim, relax, repeat.

Bareboat Catamaran Charter vs. Skippered Catamaran Charter

Bareboat: Freedom for Experienced Sailors

A bareboat catamaran charter suits experienced sailors who want full control at the helm. You’ll handle navigation, berthing, and safety checks and can tailor the itinerary each day. Bareboat renting typically reduces cost and price add-ons, but it also puts responsibility on the skipper for all the details: weather windows, fuel, water, provisioning, and port procedures. If your crew has the right licenses and skills, bareboat offers maximum freedom.

Skippered: Relax with a Professional Crew

A skippered catamaran charter adds a captain (and, if you choose, crew) so your family or groups can focus on downtime. Your skipper manages the boat, moorings, and route suggestions; a professional crew can also prepare meals and assist with activities. This option uses one cabin for the skipper and raises the overall cost, but it simplifies the experience from cast-off to final port call.

Luxury Catamarans and Crewed Yachts

If you want a higher service level, consider fully crewed yachts—often larger luxury catamarans like Sunfreef with premium fixtures and comprehensive hospitality. Expect seamless service and curated routes in the Caribbean, Greece, Croatia, and other marquee destinations.

Brands You’ll See in Charter Fleets

• Lagoon: Known for balanced designs, spacious interiors, and dependable systems—well-suited to families and friends seeking comfort without fuss.

• Fountaine Pajot: Efficient sailors with smart layouts and comfortable living spaces across catamarans ranging from mid-size to larger models.

• Bali catamarans: Open-plan saloons, solid foredecks, and easy indoor-outdoor flow that encourage social time and relaxed lounging.

These three—Lagoon, Fountaine Pajot, and Bali—anchor many charter fleet lineups worldwide, offering broad choice in size, layout, and onboard amenities to match your group and route.

Catamarans for rental

Catamarans offer you ultimate comfort and space and are ideal for a relaxing family vacation. With great stability, catamarans are easy to sail and a pleasure to live a vacation afloat.

A catamaran is a multi-hulled vessel, often recommended for clients who have never been on a boat due to its significantly higher comfort level. It’s ideal for a family with children as it can anchor in a bay just a few meters from the shore at a depth of only 2 meters.
