2023 Boat Buyers Guide: Catamarans

• By Karl Anderson
• December 27, 2022

The popularity of the multihull (aka catamaran or cat) fishing boats has never been greater, as more and more boatbuilders enter this growing segment of the market. The inherent stability of the catamaran design rolls less with the seas, making fishing offshore less tiresome and more comfortable. Available from 20 to 48 feet, catamarans typically offer a large fishing platform with generous storage and fishing amenities. They are available in a wide variety of deck layouts, including center-consoles, dual-consoles, and even pilothouse and express variants.

Big Picture

The large deck area of a catamaran enables many large underdeck storage lockers and insulated fish boxes in the sponsons. This gives anglers ample room for gear and the day’s catch. The catamaran’s stability, fishability, and smooth ride in rough seas make it attractive to anglers as well as day-cruisers. A center-console version adds 360 degrees of angler access to the rail. With the dual-console design, generous seating behind a beam-to-beam windshield makes for a great family fishing-friendly setup.

Live bait is one of the most popular types of fishing in virtually every coastal zone. To do it successfully requires optimal water capacity and proper flow. The minimum size of the outflow water plumbing should be twice the size of the inflow. The plumbing should have a drain at the bottom to shed scales at the end of the day, as well as a drain at the top of the well to adjust capacity and allow overflow. Above-deck transom-mounted wells should fully flood to the lids when running to keep baits from getting beat up. 

Tip: A sump box with multiple pumps in case a pump fails is the best setup for first-rate livewells. Conveniently located inflow and outflow valves make it easy to optimize the flow without tiring your bait from swimming too much in the well. 

Rod Storage

Having enough rod holders is essential to be successful for opportunity fishing. Look for vertical rod storage along the console and across the back of the T-top. Many models also have rod holders along the outboard transom wall. Having plenty of gunwale rod holders for drift- and kite-fishing is helpful. 

Tip: Placing adjustable swivel rod holders by Gemlux makes deep-dropping, lure-fishing and drifting even easier because they allow your rods to face the direction the baits are fishing, yet they can be swiveled back to keep rods from sticking out of the boat while running and docking. 

Manufacturers often offer multiple choices for horsepower, but whatever the choice, the engines must come in pairs. For example, you might order twin outboards (one for each sponson) or four outboards (two for each sponson), but single- or triple-outboard configurations are not common on a cat. Optimal selection should be made based on user load, weight of the boat, ride comfort , performance desires, and best case for resale. It’s a rare day when you can run wide open, but having more horsepower gives better torque at slower speeds and thus better control. Running larger engines slower gives better fuel efficiency too.

Tip: When possible, choose the highest horsepower offered because it typically leads to a better resale value with a shorter sales cycle. 

Power steering from engine manufacturer Optimus or SeaStar is essential with the higher horsepower required for larger boats, and it makes installing and operating the upper station in a tower far more practical and comfortable.

With the power demands of electronics, livewell pumps, stereo amps and more, it is wise to have at least two house batteries, and for larger boats, a third or fourth with a multibank charger for dockside. Each engine should have its own dedicated battery as well. 

Electronics

Typically choosing the largest screen or multiple screens that will fit on the console is best-case scenario for ease of use, ergonomics, and visibility. VHF radios, stereo controller, and equipment switches for lighting, pumps, and accessories should all be integrated with greatest visibility and ease of operator reach. 

A Tale of Two Hulls 

A catamaran rides on pair of hulls, or sponsons, each thinner and sharper than  that of a similarly sized monohull boat. The narrow sponsons of the cat tend to slice easily through water to deliver a smooth ride, even in rough seas. At the same time, with the sponsons positioned out to the sides of the boat, cats tend to roll less, thus providing great stability to enhance crew comfort, security and safety. However, cats tend to corner more flatly than a monohull, and some hulls (but not all) tend to lean outward versus inward during a turn.

Experts Say

Newer designs such as Invincible’s Morelli and Melvin-designed semi-asymmetrical sponsons eliminate some of the negatives of the cat design, such as “sneezing,” where water sprays out the front of the boat when hitting a wave. They’ve also controlled the uncomfortable “outboard lean” ­sensation common in older designs when in a turn. Once transitioned to a ­catamaran, many become true believers and preach the benefits of the design.

Editor Says: Saltwater fishing cats not only offer superb stability and smooth ride, but some also display exceptional speed and range. I recall one trip out of Key West, Florida, aboard an Invincible 40 Cat with four 350 hp outboards to the Dry Tortugas. It was a 60-mile run, and we made it there in 70 minutes. We caught more fish than our arms could bear, and then dashed back to Key West, arriving in time for cocktail hour on the same day. -Jim Hendricks, Staff Editor, Boating and Fishing Group

Unveil the MAKAI M37: Where meticulous design meets unmatched performance. This fusion marries exhilarating power with spacious cabins, embodying our brand's sporty aesthetics. Redefining power catamarans' versatility, the MAKAI M37's allure transcends numbers. Embracing captivating aesthetics and fuel efficiency, it offers an unmatched helming experience. With refined cabins for couples and families, plus an expansive deck hosting up to 12 guests, this masterpiece intertwines catamaran advantages with unwavering dedication to style and comfort – a testament to our values.

MASTER CABIN

GUEST CABIN

Its bright and spacious interior volume, generous natural lighting, 204cm (6'8") headroom, queen mattress and excellent natural ventilation, provides the M37 with an owners cabin larger than most 40+ footers.

The power catamaran stability means the MAKAI M37 is able to offer a great nights sleep - so we focus on making the most of that by giving you a luxurious guest cabin equipped with double berth and kids single, suitable for week-long adventures with the kids or friends and family.

The master cabin in the M37 Power Catamaran features a private head, queen-sized bed, a floor-to-ceiling white oak wardrobe, under bed storage, and full-length mirror.

A fully equipped guest cabin includes a private ensuite head, a double berth, and a single bed for children. This setup provides enough separation and privacy for a comfortable and extended cruising trip with guests and children.

The interior of the M37 power catamaran is configured with two cabins: a master cabin to port with queen berth and guest cabin to stbd with a double and single berth. Both cabins are provided with their own ensuite bathrooms equipped with separate shower/head area.

Spacious and Refined

ultimate privacy

ENSUITE HEADS

Both ensuite heads offer full standing headroom of 204cm (6'8"), allowing you to use the bathroom facilities and shower comfortably without compromise.

Each cabin is provided with its own bathroom including backlit mirror, towel rack, wash basin, ample storage and separate shower stall and electric heads.

Both cabins are equipped with equally spacious en-suite heads, offering extensive privacy to the owners and their onboard guests.

Poise Through

Maneuverable

Form Stability

Catamaran Efficiency

Power catamaran form stability means the M37 is calm in rough conditions, and stable at anchor. So you and your guests will feel the tranquility of a much larger yacht. But make no mistake this is a performance cruiser: up to combined 740 horsepower, along with our new and unique super low-drag catamaran design, enables a 38-knot top speed - numbers normally reserved for 1000hp monohulls.

Catamaran efficiency makes the M37 incredibly quick and fun to drive - it also makes it manoeuvrable. Propellers are spaced farther apart than on a monohull - making them more efficient and providing greater twisting force when manoeuvring in tight spaces. Add in joystick control and this boat is simple to drive, and even more simple to dock.

TRUE CRUISING

Powerful diesel engines paired with optional lithium batteries and alternators deliver power to all of the most important luxuries on our power catamarans – a full supply of hot water, air conditioning or heating and ample power to charge laptops and devices - even to power a microwave or coffee maker.

The spacious cockpit area offers ample lounging space for all guests on board.

With drives raised, the M37 draws just 55cm (1’9”) allowing this power catamaran to enter shallow bays and anchorages. Because of this unique ability Makai has also built a protective outer layer of Kevlar along the centerline of its hulls to allow owners to drive the bow of the M37 right up the beach. Drop the bow ladder and step off and onto the sand without even getting your feet wet.

Air-Glide System

The Makai Air-Glide* shock absorbing system allows boaters to unleash the full capabilities of the twin V8 engines in even the roughest of conditions. Thanks to the innovative tunnel design, you can enjoy a cushioned, smoother ride even when powering into waves at speed. Extend exploration in comfort as this innovation also aids to reduce fuel usage, granting you a more efficient and care-free voyage. Experience efficiency and an enhanced cruising experience via MAKAI's air-glide system.

STERN DRIVE

SURFACE DRIVE

The Makai M37 comes packed with power, twin Yanmar diesel 8LV320 sterndrives propel the catamaran with a total of 640hp. Taking advantage of the extensive onboard NMEA 2000 network Makai transfers all engine data directly to the MFD at the helm putting all engine management at your fingertips. And if that’s not enough, upgrade to the 8LV370 engines and take charge of 740hp at the helm.

Upgrade to Makais QSPD Surface drive system and take advantage of increased top end performance, improved fuel efficiency and most encouragingly reliability and maintenance superior even to traditional shaft drive.

CZone Touch Screen Control

Advanced, Scalable Electronics

Digital Switching

Scalable Electrical Options

CZone control and monitoring simplifies the control of electrical systems through the replacement of complicated and often cumbersome traditional wiring. Digital switching replaces switch and fuse panels with networked digital switch interfaces providing ultimate control of onboard electrical systems from either the CZone control interface or the helm mounted 12” multifunction display allowing the skipper to monitor and manage the vessels electronics without leaving the helm.

MAKAI Power Catamarans use the latest technologies to make boating more fun, but with the future in mind as well. Consider the scalable electronics options - with additional displays, fishfinders, scanners, cameras, and even integrated night vision capabilities.

Great tour with amazing beaches

Our tour guide was incredible at spotting things we probably would have passed by otherwise. We saw sloths, birds, spiders, monkeys, and more. The beaches at the end of the tour were beautiful and refreshing.

Ocean King Catamaran Sunset Cruise

……. Was an absolute blast. The boat was large enough to accommodate the big group. The crew was professional and also very fun. We enjoyed the sites and the captain went out of his way to make sure we saw and were able to experience what was available on our trip. It was great having cocktails , music, watching the sunset, and meeting new people as well.

Amazing trip!

Amazing trip with incredible staff, great food and unmatched experiences! Cannot recommend highly enough!

Last trip of vacation

This day couldn’t have been more perfect. We were leaving that night and went out on the catamaran on the morning cruise. There was fun for everyone. My 2-year-old granddaughters spent the entire time in the jacuzzi. We snorkled, we went down the slides, jumped from the top. Had great food and drink. We didn’t see any dolphins but the birds and views of the park were beautiful. Our party if 8 loved it.

Outstanding

I highly recommend this adventure. The staff was absolutely fantastic. The food was great. The overall experience was a great value for the money. My daughter said it was the highlight of her Costa Rica trip!

Ocean King morning cruise

Everything was great. The driver picked us up and we had extra time so he took us to see a sloth and take some pictures in Quepos on the way to marina. The staff was amazing and attentive. We had a wonderful time. The food and drinks were great. They had a photographer on board and we got some nice photos.

Fantastic Half Day Adventure!

So glad I went on this 1/2 day trip, my family and I loved it! Not a good time for snorkeling in August but all the activities and site seeing where fantastic! Its a big catamaran and seems too many people walking down the dock but once on the boat its got plenty of room. Great food and drinks…the staff were 5 star!

Celebrating my daughter's 15th birthday.

Having celebrate my daughter’s 15th birthday with Catamaran Ocean King was a magnificent decision. The day was beautiful and perfect, from the beginning they made us feel safe with the equipment and information about the security system … The beautiful adventure that awaited us. The tour included snacks, fruits, drinks and lunch, everything was delicious, they also have a Jacuzzi for the children. My one year old baby enjoyed this beautiful experience too. We saw dolphins and a whale with its calf, the beautiful coasts of the Manuel Antonio National Park, very professional guides provided us a great explanation about the area, we took a break to freshen up and do snorkeling, the food, the music and the staff, everything was perfect. Definitely loved this day, I really recommend it, is the best.

Such a beautiful boat ride

We had a wonderful time sitting on the top deck taking in the sites in a way you couldn’t do otherwise.

Fantastic guided tour with Beatriz

The guided tour of the parc with Beatriz was one of the highlights of our travels through Costa Rica. Very knowledgeable and made it fun and interesting. We saw tons of animals. She shared the mazing photos she took during the tour. Memorable !

Amazing!! Fabulous, stellar, beyond words!!!

Well, what can i say, on vacation with my wife, she didn’t feel great,

And the crew was more than accommodating, so I, love the sea, but with a prosthetic leg, jump from the the top, and guess what, lost my leg, lol, the whole crew was more than helpful, and there is Roberto rescuing m y leg, is not the value of the prosthetic leg, it was that I still have three more days and it didn’t pack another leg, he went down and with zero visibility under the sea found it.

The you guys, pura vida.

If you are visiting, definitely 6 stars!!!!!!

Great service from the entire crew and staff. Very fun evening with multiple stops around Manuel Antonio. 100% recommend

Very nice day

The food was great & plentiful, the boat is very tidy and clean ,

Was very nice to see the coast line close up and was definitely only available to see from the water,

The hosts were very happy and helpful , with great energy & enthusiasm!

my group and I are Canadian & we enjoyed this adventure very much ,

We r ecommend this excursion to all ages, it was great for any age group

Super great choice !!

Best Day Ever!

This was the best day we had in Costa Rica yet! The staff was all so kind and helpful. It ended up raining later during the day, but everyone had a great time regardless. Cannot recommend this company and excursion enough!

Delightful Boat Day!

I have to review this trip with 5 stars because of the OUTSTANDING service. I was never in want of a beverage, we were very well briefed on the boat + safety measures, and the lunch was outstanding. Unfortunately no dolphins came out to play, and the murky snorkeling conditions were some of the worst I’ve ever encountered, but the slides and jumping off the top deck were super fun! A great way to see Manuel Antonio from a different perspective.

Had a great time

Thanks to Nayely, Wesley and the rest of the crew for an amazing time

Safe way to really go into the nature.

We opted to take the tour with no guide, we didn’t notice we took the expert trail and we completed it with no issues, exhausted for sure but safe.

There are a lot of animals in the wild, so you need to pay close attention to everything, so you don’t miss a thing.

Great trip!

This was an awesome trip! The staff was warm, welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed everything about the tour! The price of the trip included a delicious homemade lunch, 4 alcoholic beverages, snorkeling, jumping off the boat, and slides. My friends and I had a great time and even got to see home dolphins swim right alongside the boat! We also appreciated that the staff told us about the dolphins and then moved on since they are an eco-conscious company and didn’t want to hurt the animals. I would highly recommend this tour!

Best Day of Our Trip

Went to this tour with my family of 6 and we absolutely loved it! All members of the crew were awesome and were really committed to ensuring we had a great time. We got alcoholic drinks per ride and unlimited water and juices plus snacks and lunch. Great tour!

Fantastic way to spend the day!

The catamaran was so nice – great facilities, incredible rooftop deck, water slides, front lounging nets. The staff was on point – Emilio took great care of us. Can’t complain about the food – the drinks were a little weak but that was probably a good thing seeing as we were sitting out in the sun all day.

The one bad thing (completely out of the control of the crew) was we didn’t get to see any whales or dolphins, but did see a sea turtle or two! They were being shy that day apparently.

Great Experience

We had a great time aboard the catamaran. It was clean and not crowded. There was plenty of space to sit and move around. Due to weather we were unable to snorkel but the views of the landscapes and beaches were fantastic. The crew was very attentive and the food was good, we had a great time. I highly recommend this trip.

Didn’t want it to end!

What a fun experience! The ocean king staff were all super friendly and helped make the trip excellent. They made sure my wife, who was 5 months pregnant, had everything she could need. The views were epic. The dolphins were a delight. The food was tasty. ¡Pura vida!

The party of your life!

We had an amazing time on the Ocean King! The staff was friendly and attentive, the drinks were great, and the music was fun! Emma the photographer got amazing photos (well worth the purchase). Jumping from the boat and the slides were a highlight! The food was basic but not bad. Overall a great experience for all ages and I highly recommend!

Amazing trip

Everything was easy and provided for. Spacious boat tons to do very friendly staff. Water was warm snorkeling was amazing. Highly recommend!

Big shot out to Francisco and Emilio they were really awesome. Emilio did a great job of providing service. Even snapped great pics of us and provided info on the area. The food was excellent big ups to the chef! I boldly went down the slide and my husband as well. He also jumped ship lol! We got to see some beautiful yellow fin surgeons when we stopped to snorkel. Drinks were on point, music on point. We watched the sunset and made some new friends as well. Thanks for the experience!

Another bucket list item bites the dust 🙂

The staff was amazing and FUNNY! You can tell they are very good at their job and have done this a LOT. The boat was clean, the food was good (not great but good), and the drinks kept flowing. Overall, the staff is really what made the experience worthwhile

Good Food, Good Music, Good time. Loved it!!

Great afternoon!

Had the best afternoon on ocean king! Saw wild dolphins, lots of colorful fish whilst snorkeling and a beautiful sunset. The food was delicious and we enjoyed a variety of drinks. The staff was lovely and very hospitable, taking photos for people and waiting for drinks. I would highly recommend!

Fantastic afternoon!!!

The boat was new, well equipped & extremely spacious. We spent time in the jacuzzi, on the net & generally chilling out. Drinks were tasty & included in the price.

The best part of the whole experience, though, was the staff. Flawless service, enthusiastic & friendly, the entire crew provided a great experience to all of the guests.

The snor keling gear was top notch & the water slides were great fun.

The food was delicious & plentiful & the sunset was absolutely gorgeous.

Absolutely great value for money! We had a great time & truly enjoyed the entire experience. And to repeat…fantastic service & staff!!!

Friendly Staff

I really liked the staff. They were great. I miss them already.

" Do not hesitate to book this tour, especially on your first trip to Costa Rica. It’s so much fun and the guys of the crew are absolutely awesome, they made the experience 100x better for me. I got a little sea sick and they were so understanding and helpful, I was so very embarrassed lol. Thank you for your hospitality. After I felt better, we arrived to something I consider magical considering I don’t live very close to anything like that. The views were breathtaking, and the bar tender was on it! Sooo So much fun. The lunch they provided and snacks were A+++..." Nahely, Texas

" This felt like a luxury! Everything was very clean, and the staff very friendly. We never had an empty drink, the lunch and other food they provided was very delicious. The view was breathtaking. We went snorkeling, got to jump off the top of the boat, and even went down the slides. We had so much fun!! We also met some of the nicest people. To top it off, the photographer got really good pictures of us and only charged us $15 which we found very affordable..." Llewellyn, Washington

" This was not my first time on the boat. It was probably my 15th time. This was a special event. I chartered a private cruise for 40 of my closest family and friends in town for my wedding. This was the BEST DAY ON THE Water I have ever had!! The staff was absolutely incredible. They were so attentive and made the day extra special. It was incredibly windy that day. We were nervous about being on the water. But this boat is so big that we did not even feel the the waves. And they hit 6 feet!! Smaller boats would not be able to do this The snorkeling, lunch and sail..." Amanda F, Alaska

" We were picked up from the beach at coco on time and by an experienced, welcoming crew on time. Sailed up north to a beautiful beach that has snorkeling, lounging and a cave that has wave action through from the other side of the land spit. Just a magical place. The crew was very clear about what our itinerary would be and what to expect. Lunch after beach as we sailed south was prepared on board. Nothing real fancy but was very tasty and all on board cleaned their plates with many (11 guests, 4 crew) going back for seconds. Then we sailed south to RIU where we were..." Joe Camel, California

Out of the Centre

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
