20 Blue Water Cruising Catamarans Under $100k

October 13, 2021 by Martin Parker 1 Comment

The debate between single-hull sailboats and blue water catamarans has raged since the beginning of time, and it’s unlikely ever to end! Both types of yachts have dedicated followers who are unlikely to ever be swayed by the benefits of the other. A lot of this is based on misconceptions and the influences of the people around them, though. We recommend that if you’re considering a blue water catamaran, get in a few good hours of sailing through varied conditions before making a decision. 

What Makes Blue Water Catamarans Great for Cruising?

Stable platform s.

Bluewater catamarans offer fantastic stability, despite what you may hear from single-hull yacht owners. There’s no high lean angle when sailing into the wind and no need to strap everything down to prevent it from moving. Add to this little or no rolling when moored, and a catamaran is a lovely place to be.

Additional Space 

An excellent beam to length ratio is essential on bluewater catamarans, and a 40-foot yacht will usually have a 20-foot beam. That gives you a 20-foot bridge deck, plenty of space on the hulls, and even more space forward on the netting.

Cruising Speed

The amount of wet surface area on a catamaran is significantly reduced compared to a monohull yacht. Without the need for a prominent, heavy keel for ballast, the catamaran can easily outperform a single hull yacht.

Shallow Draft s

Shallow draft boats allow easy navigation through shallow waters and exceptional stability for maximum comfort. You are far less likely to make mistakes with tide height predictions when sailing on a cat. 

Enclosed Cockpit s

Bluewater catamarans virtually always have an enclosed cockpit. Not only does this shield you from the sun in winter, but the elements in winter making cruising far more comfortable.

Safety 

The enclosed cockpit makes sailing safer, plus of course, when you need to get out on the deck, the stable catamaran is not pitching and rolling.

Our Top Choices For Blue Water Catamarans Under $100,000

Designed and built by Rajen Naidu, the Rayvin 30 is a 29.5-foot cruising catamaran built for comfort. With a draft of just one meter, there are few places you can’t go on the Rayvin. The hull is constructed of epoxy glass fiber, but carbon-kevlar has been used for added strength below the waterline.

Inside, you’ll find three cabins, plenty of space, and even a bath! These are great value blue water catamarans with excellent performance.

Prout Snowgoose 37

Probably one of the most well-known blue water catamarans available, the Snowgoose 37 was designed and built by Prout and Sons in the United Kingdom. With a displacement of 6 tons, this is not a light boat, but the 600 square feet sail area gives a healthy hull speed of up to 10 knots. Many people have completed a circumnavigation in a Snowgoose.

It has a cutter design, but the overhang is substantial, leaving it susceptible to bridge slam, particularly on a close reach.

Over 500 examples were built, with plenty available under the $100,000 mark.

Prout Quasar 50

Sticking with Prout, the Quasar 50 was the largest catamaran designed and built by the company. The company was still making the Quasar until its closure in 2020, so you can find plenty of examples.

Constructed with fiberglass, the cutter design has a displacement of 10 tons and a sail area of almost 1185 square feet, giving a maximum hull speed of around 14 knots.

It has to be said the Quasar is not a pretty boat, but it makes a perfect large cruiser.

Catalac 12M

Catalac was a British boat building company owned by Tom Lack, hence the Catalac name. Over 600 examples of Catalac’s (9M, 10M, 11M, and 12M) were built. All around, they’re known as solid boats that handle well.

Designed as a sloop, the 12M displaces almost 9.3 tons. With a sail area of just 700 square feet, this cat offers a relatively slow hull speed of 9.5 knots.

An interesting point is the double thickness hulls, designed to withstand the North Sea weather.

Maldives 32

The Maldives 32 is a more modern design by Joubert-Nivelt. It features a short overhang with a netting deck to avoid bridge slam, initially built by Fountaine Pajot in 1988. The Maldives has a light displacement of 3.3 tons thanks to the fiberglass and foam sandwich construction. Add in a sail area of 592 square feet, and the Maldives can cruise at up to 11 knots.

The Maldives 32 is an excellent basic boat readily available well under our $100,000 price point.

Edel Cat 33

Thanks to the fiberglass construction, the Edel Cat 33 is another light boat, at just 3.6 tons and with a shallow draft of just 2.6 feet.

The Edel was designed by Yvonne Faulconnier and built by the Edel company in France, with the first bots being produced in 1985.

The 635 square feet of sail is enough for a good turn of speed for such a light boat without over-powering the hull.

A notable feature is the very short bridge hull, avoiding almost any bridge slam problems.

Endeavourcat 30

Designed by Cortland Steck and built in America by the Endeavour Catamaran Corp, the Endeavourcat 30 is a lightweight 30-foot catamaran constructed using fiberglass with a foam core.

It has to be said; the Endeavourcat is not pretty, but you get a lot of space for your money. Another issue is the enclosed bridge deck, making this suitable for gentle cruising only.

The sloop-rigged catamaran is a good, reasonably priced starter boat for taking the first dip into blue water catamarans.

Island Packet Packet Cat 35

If you are looking for comfort with a bit of style, then the Island Packet Cat 35 could be it. Designed by Robert K. Johnson and built in the USA by Island Packet, the Cat 35 makes the perfect boat for cruising the Keys.

The displacement of 6.25 tons gives the boat a solid, dependable feel, while the 2.6-foot draft allows you to explore water-restricted areas.

Inside there’re acres of room, but the fully enclosed bridge deck will cause issues in heavy weather.

Gemini 105MC

The Gemini 105MC is a sloop-rigged boat designed by Tony Smith and built by Performance Cruising in the United States. It was in production for over 27 years, and they delivered over 1000 boats, so there are plenty available to suit most budgets.

An interesting design feature is a lifting centerboard, giving excellent stability when down but a draft of just 1.65 feet when lifted.

A displacement of 4 tons combined with 690 square feet of sail area gives the 105MC outstanding performance characteristics.

With 760 examples of the Lagoon 380 produced, there are plenty on the market at reasonable prices. Built by Jeanneau, it is one of the most popular bluewater catamarans ever made.

The distinctive vertical windows offer maximum internal space, and it has a spacious interior, but the tradeoff is a displacement of 8 tons, so performance suffers a little. You can cruise comfortably at 7 knots, and with the short bridge deck, you won’t suffer too much bridge slam.

If you can track down a Dean 365, it’s well worth a look. You can find these solidly built boats for $50,000 upwards. Designed by Peter Dean and built by his company, Dean Catamarans, they have an excellent reputation.

For a 36 foot boat, the 6-ton displacement is not light, but it does benefit from twin engines, and with the sloop rigging, it can sail downwind at up to 11 or 12 knots. With the genoa providing the main sailing power, sailing into the wind is not great.

Sold as a self-build design, the Tiki 38 is a solid cruising catamaran designed by James Wharram. There are plenty available, but all will be different depending on the builder. With a displacement of around 6 tons, it’s not the lightest, and the cruising speed is about 5 or 6 knots.

With a ketch rig, using two 30-foot masts, the sail area is around 730 square feet, but you can also use a 530 spinnaker. The draft is shallow at 2.5 feet.

The Tiki makes an interesting – perhaps quirky choice.

Crowther Spindrift 40

If you are more interested in performance than interior space, the Crowther Spindrift 40 could be an excellent choice. Designed by Lock Crowther, the Spindrift features narrow hulls, reducing the wet surface area and increasing your sailing speeds. The downside is a lack of space.

The sloop rigging gives you a total sail area of 791 square feet combined with a light 4-ton displacement, making the Spindrift excellent in light winds.

MacGregor 36

Three hundred of the Roger Macgregor designed 36-foot boats were built, so there are plenty available. It’s built as a racing catamaran, so space is at a premium. There is only a trampoline between the two hulls, but the weight saving makes the displacement just 1.4 tons, and with the 534 square feet of sail, you can achieve speeds touching 28 knots.

Accommodation is restricted to the two hulls, but there are bunks for four people and a galley in the starboard hull.

The Flica 36 was designed by Richard Wood is a proven design capable of crossing oceans. A displacement of 5 tons gives a good balance between speed and stability, and the cutter rigging allows for a main and two foresails.

The hulls have been made from ply and fiberglass, which accounts for the slightly heavier weight and strength. The bridge deck offers plenty of space with a small overhang but will suffer from bridge slam in heavier weather.

Mirage Yachts 37

Only a few of the open deck Mirage 37’s were produced, but consider them in your search. Designed by David Feltham and built by Thames Marine, the ketch-rigged boats are sturdy and safe.

At 7.3 tons, it’s heavy for a 36-foot cat, and the small sail area of just 548 square feet makes it slow, with a hull speed of only 7.4 knots. As a coastal cruiser, it certainly makes sense to give you a comfortable base for exploring.

Simpson 35 Wildside

The Simpson 35 Wildside is an excellent cruiser, with three double cabins, two of which are across the bridge deck. Roger Simpson is the designer, and he’s well known for his sturdy, reliable boats.

The Bermuda rigged sloop design features a fully covered bridge deck, so expect bridge slam if you sail in anything more than slight to moderate conditions. With a displacement of 5

tons, and a small sail area, the performance will never be exciting, but it’s okay for coastal cruising.

Gemini 3400

The Gemini 3400 is the predecessor to the Gemini 105 mentioned earlier. If you can’t find a 105 at your price, then a 3400 is a good alternative. Although weighing the same as the 105, at four tons, the sail area is smaller at just 490 square feet, giving a reduced performance.

As with all Geminis, the 3400 features retractable centerboards for better tracking when on a close reach, without increasing the draft.

The 3400 was designed by Tony Smith and built by Performance Cruising in the US, who still produce catamarans now.

Seawind 850

Originally built in Australia by Seawind Catamarans and designed by Scott Jutson, the 850 is a 28-foot cat featuring fractional sloop rigging. At a relatively light displacement of 2.4 tons, the 350 square feet of sail gives good performance and comfortable cruising.

The short bridge deck overhang is filled with a trampoline, allowing the 850 to sail in rougher weather without too much bridge slam. The Seawind makes an excellent cruiser despite its 28-foot LOA.

Aventura 23.5

Our last catamaran is the smallest in the review. The Aventura 235 is just 23 feet long, has a light displacement of only 0.77 tons, and a sail area of 312 square feet. Two cabins offer four berths despite its diminutive size, making it a comfortable cruiser for a small family.

There are, of course, compromises, with just a single outboard engine on the centerline, and internal space is limited. But with its lightweight design, easy handling, and shallow draft of 1.8 feet, it is a perfect first step into catamaran ownership.

Blue Water Catamarans Are a Fantastic Budget Option

Remember: When buying a bluewater cruising yacht for less than $100,000, compromise is inevitable. 

The best advice for buying a boat is to be truly honest with yourself by defining your needs and separating them from your desires.

I have been told that good catamarans under $100 000 are impossible to find, and since I’m not a millionäire but I love catamaran sailing, I said, challenge accepted!

The best catamarans under 100k include the Prout Quest, the Gemini 105Mc and 3200, the Dean 365, Tiki 38, and the Prout Snowgoose 37. All these catamarans are good but they are best suited for different types of sailing.

In this article, ill show you some of the most promising cats under 100k; this article could be a starting point for finding yourself an affordable cat. And if you’re not attracted by any cats on this list, at the end of the post, you will find factors to consider when buying a cheap cat so that you may do your own assessments of boats that are interesting to you.

Table of Contents

Prout Quest

The Prout Quest is a classic catamaran boat from Prout, cruising catamaran boat manufacturers who dominated the market in the 1970s and 1980s. Though these boats are no longer in production, the Prout Quest is a seaworthy catamaran that boasts an enviable reputation.

This boat is suitable for couples or single sailors looking for a liveaboard as it sports a spacious salon. In addition, there’s good access to natural light, a functional galley, generous storage, plus the boat is sturdy and excellent for solo sailing. Also, it’s pretty gentle and comfortable on a reach or downwind. 

If you want more info on the Prout Quest , check this article out.

The main downside of the Prout Quest is that it doesn’t have much headroom. You can get this 33ft (10.05m) pre-owned catamaran for about $55,000.   

Gemini 105Mc

Gemini catamarans boast a refined manufacturing process that results in attractively designed catamaran boats. They feature a pleasant performance, practical handling, livability, and good value for the money. Gemini 105Mc itself is a popular model with a legendary sailing performance. 

The boat has roomy, light, and airy accommodation areas, while the deck layout and rig provide a stable and safe platform. Gemini 10Mc comes with centerboards and kick-up rudders that allow you to venture into shallow waters and a beam that allows anchoring in a regular slip. 

I have written an entire article on Gemini cats , so if you want more info click this link.

While this boat is no longer in production and has been replaced by the Gemini Legacy 35, you can get pre-owned versions starting from around $89,000.

Gemini 3200

For a coastal cruise, the Gemini 3200 delivers a superb sailing performance. The boat features the basic comfort and spacing of a budget catamaran and is pretty easy to sail and motor single-handed. It also comes with centerboards designed to retract without breaking upon hitting an object.  

The Gemini’s beam allows it to fit into a standard size slip, thus reducing marina fees while the outboard motor makes for a quieter boat. This light boat performs well downwind or on a broad reach but can be challenging to maneuver cross currents and crosswinds without centerboards. It’s also not ideal for bluewater sailing (more info on bluewater cats here).

The Gemini 3200 goes for below $100k.

For a review of the most popular Gemini boats , go here!

Dean 365 catamaran is incredibly spacious and boasts plenty of headroom, making it well-suited for a cruising family. This boat comes with 4 cabins, a big saloon, a huge galley, and generous storage making it safe, stable, and comfortable for open sea cruising and long voyages.

The Dean 365 is also on my list of best cats between 100 and 200k .

High-quality cabinetry characterizes the interior, and a comfy u-shaped dinette is located in the main saloon. There are additional lockers built within the quarter berth floors, creating additional storage space for all your sailing needs. 

Dean 365 is not a fast boat, and its bridgedeck clearance is below average , but its downhill cruising is impressive. This model is rare, but when available, you can get the boat for between $50,000 to $100,000.

Prout Snowgoose 37

The Snowgoose 37 is popular with bluewater cruisers looking for a robust, seaworthy, and budget-friendly catamaran. Though this boat is not a performance catamaran, it’s a strong ocean crosser that boasts an unrivaled circumnavigation record. The cat sails pretty well despite her length, performs well in light air, and handles rough weather rather impressively using her canoe sterns.

If you are confused with all the terminology, don’t worry, so was I, to get up to speed I would recommend you to either buy the book The Complete Guide for Cruising Sailors (here’s a link to amazon ) or read my article on catamaran parts .

Because of the aft mast rig and all control lines redirecting back to the cockpit ( catamaran parts explained here), the Snowgoose is relatively easy to sail single-handed. The boat is easy to maneuver into a marina and fits nicely into standard berths, further lowering your costs. Even better, the flat keels plus narrow beam makes the Snowgoose easy to beach – and keeps a lid on your maintenance costs.

The Snowgoose 37 has her share of downsides; minimal salon headroom, a slow speed of 6 knots, a low bridgedeck resulting in slamming in rough seas, and a solo engine that renders the boat less maneuverable than twin-engine cats. Still, the boat offers good value for money and you can get one for under 100k.

Tiki 38 is a James Wharram design catamaran. This reasonably priced bluewater catamaran ensures your safety on the high seas, performs well, and is ideal as a family cruising boat. It has 2 double cabins and single cabins, a navigation station, galley, toilet cum shower, and ample storage space for all your stuff in the bow and stern.

These cats are sleek, light, fast, and easy to handle. They are fun to sail in open water since they are highly maneuverable, and their shallow drafts allow you to explore new places. The boats also feature a large deck and a deckpod with a bunk for shelter during open sea cruising. With $100,000, you can get yourself a Tiki 38.

Crowther Spindrift 40

The Crowther Spindrift 40 is an excellent performance catamaran that you can buy without making a big dent in your pocket. Designed by the renowned Australian designer Lock Crowther, Spindrifts are sleek, fast, and capable of sailing quickly in light winds. They have good bridgedeck clearance, and though slamming occurs in rough seas (more on rough sea sailing here ), the boat sails quite smoothly in normal conditions. 

One key thing to note here is that these cats are generally old, so it’s important to examine the beams, decks, and boat systems carefully before purchasing one. They also have shorter headroom, plus you have to leave the main cabin and get into the cockpit to enter either of the two hulls. This can be a bit tiring if you are not young or agile.

Another issue is the Spindrift’s hulls are pretty narrow, so you need to keep off excess weight to avoid hampering the vessel’s sailing performance. On the plus side, the engines are easy to access, which makes your maintenance work more manageable. 

You can sail the Spindrift alone or with a minimal crew as the boat is easy to handle even during heavy weather. What’s more, there’s great visibility from either of the two helms. In light winds, the cat performs amazingly well, and maneuvering is simple and straightforward. Plus, the boat can fit easily into marina slips and is pleasantly comfortable at anchor. 

The Spindrift is not as spacious as the newer model catamarans, but you can still have guests over as the seating space is more than adequate. And the best part? You can purchase this beautiful boat for less than $100K.

This is also the same boat that the youtube channel Tulas endless summer used to sail.

Shuttleworth Open 35

Another catamaran that fits within the $100K budget is the Shuttleworth Open 35. This 35 foot (10.66m) cat is an open-bridgedeck John Shuttleworth design, built in the US. An excellent performer, the vessel bears the proven ability to cross oceans with great poise and sail in excess of wind speed. 

Large enough to fit a crew of 6, the boat’s impressive construction features composite foam, epoxy resin, e-glass, carbon fiber reinforcements, kick-up rudders, and daggerboards on each hull. The other exciting features include flush decks, an open cockpit, rounded bilges, and companionways with steps leading down to the cabins in the hulls. 

I discuss interior layout in one of my other posts here.

Below decks, the accommodation consists of 3 double berths – 2 to port and 1 to starboard. Each hull contains a head with a holding tank, while the galley comes equipped with a stove, refrigerator, and microwave, making the Shuttleworth comfortable to live in. 

This catamaran is a sailor’s dream; it can sail, race, and cruise too. And whichever option you go for, the boat’s capabilities are sure to impress you as this stylish boat can clock pretty high speeds.   

$80-100,000 and you’ll secure a pretty cool boat!

Woods Banshee

The Woods Banshee is a small but powerful cruiser-racer catamaran designed with a 35 foot (10.66m) hull molding. Richard Woods, the boat’s designer, opted for a vast beam, a characteristic feature quite unlike other 35-foot sailing catamarans whose beams are typically around 17.5′ (5.33m). At 20.5′ (6.24m), the Banshee’s beam is indeed pretty wide. 

But there’s a good reason for having an extra-wide beam on this offshore cruising cat. It dramatically increases the vessel’s accommodation space, allows for reduced wave interference between the two hulls, and enhances the vessel’s stability resulting in minimal heeling. While the Banshee comes fitted with an outdoor engine, the last two features allow the Banshee to deliver a sailing performance similar to that of a larger-sized catamaran. 

This post on catamaran capsize will better your understanding of catamaran stability, so check that out!

The Banshee’s high-thrust outboard allows the boat to cruise at between 6-8 knots (11.11-14.82 km/h) while the V-shaped, softly rounded hulls help it move with great ease. You can even withdraw the outboard from the water while under sail whenever there’s a need to eliminate drag.  

This light foam-core catamaran has an excellent performance windward thanks to its daggerboards and outboard engine. Furthermore, bridge deck slamming, a common challenge with cruising catamarans in a non-issue with the Banshee.

Without a doubt, the Banshee is one spacious boat. Behind the sizeable sliding hatch is an expansive salon, there’s well-spaced accommodation, adequate headroom, and you have access to a large cockpit. Plus, there’s extra seating space on the bridgedeck saloon for dining and socializing. The full-sized navigation station boasts ample storage space while the bridgedeck plays host to a master bunk and a collapsible settee that comes in handy at anchor.

The Banshee is a pocket-friendly cruising catamaran that delivers superb performance, and you can get one at around $85,000.

Catalac 10M

Catalac Catamarans are British sailing vessels from the 1980s. These sturdy, well-built cats are designed to handle hostile seas, and the Catalac 10M is among the best family and couple liveaboard cruisers in the Catalac family. Excellent at offering a safe, comfortable, and spacious floating home over an extended period, they have minimal maintenance and operating costs. As a result, these rare but affordable boats are much sought after. 

The Catalac 10M is a 34 foot (10.36m) well-thought-out, quality cat that’s as strong as a battleship. Its spacious saloon contains a sizable u-shaped settee plus an expandable rotating table that can accommodate up to 8 people. The interior is well-lit owing to the large windows that also provide panoramic views. It also has ample storage space and spacious countertops. 

Double thick fiberglass makes the boat hulls undeniably strong , and it’s no wonder these boats are still crossing oceans today. The boat is exceptionally stable due to the short rig and the hull’s hard chine design. If your budget is about $100,000 , you can get yourself one of these unique boats.

How To Buy the Best Catamaran

Is there a perfect catamaran? Not exactly. The thing is, selecting the perfect catamaran is a personal choice. And like buying a home, you might need to compromise, customize or sacrifice one thing or the other. Having said that, there are guidelines you need to follow to avoid making painful mistakes.

I would also like to recommend two books that have helped me to better understand catamaran characteristics. The first one is called The complete guide for cruising sailors (here’s a link to amazon ). It is a good basic introduction to hull shapes and the balance between performance and comfort. It also includes a lot of pictures.

If you are more interested in how to sail and manage your catamaran, I have another recommendation for you, this one covers a lot of tips and tricks such as how to prepare your boat for offshore cruising or what to think of in case of capsizing. One thing I don’t like about Multihull seamanship is the graphics, they are hand-drawn and feel cheap but the information is great.

Let’s explore some of the important factors to consider when making a purchase decision in order to get the best possible catamaran. 

Factors To Consider When Purchasing a Catamaran

When looking to buy a catamaran, there are several crucial factors you need to consider apart from your budget. Below is a brief discussion on each essential factor.

What Is the Intended Use?

How do you plan to use your catamaran? Do you intend to spend most of your time cruising offshore, docked at the marina or anchor, or do you want to live onboard? 

For instance, a spacious Lagoon catamaran might be the perfect luxury liveaboard with creature comforts like a refrigerator and air conditioning, but it could turn out slower underway. This means it would not be an ideal choice for someone interested in long-distance cruising.

Comfort Versus Performance

Modern catamarans come equipped with luxurious amenities and top-end finishes like Corian countertops. But while these gorgeous extras add to your comfort level, they translate to additional weight which affects your catamaran’s cruising performance. For instance, this weight can lead to increased wave slamming in heavy seas, which can be quite uncomfortable.

Comfort, performance, or low price, you only get to pick two (unless you’re filthy rich ;))

Your Mechanical Skills

When buying a pre-owned boat, it’s best to buy one whose owner maintained it in great condition, particularly if you are not good with your hands. This is because your repair and maintenance costs could go through the roof. However, if you are mechanically inclined, you can do the repairs, thus significantly reducing costs.

Your Budget

You will need to set a realistic budget for your new catamaran. Doing so will help cover the cost of buying the boat and allow you to handle other related payments. These include paying for insurance, registration, marina fees, upgrades, maintenance, and repairs.

Daggerboards Versus a Fixed Keel

Most cruising cats sport fixed keels. This enables you to get more usable space in the hulls and also makes it easier to beach the boat. The keel is also less expensive to fabricate and adds more buoyancy to your boat. The downside is that you shed a couple of degrees when sailing upwind. On the other hand, catamarans with daggerboards sail faster and tend to make less leeway.  

Your Sailing Skills

Catamarans are easy to handle. Besides, you can take a sailing course to improve your skills. Still, you might want to consider going for a catamaran that’s rigged for single-handing. Such a boat comes with electric winches and, at times, a self-tacking jib.

Final Thoughts

Buying a catamaran is a significant investment. Thus, it’s essential to do your due diligence first before making a final commitment. Start by doing your research on the kind of boats you’re interested in, use this list as a guide to help you make the right choice, then find all the relevant information you can to make an informed decision.

S/V Panta Rhei is a 2012 Custom Custom Roake Guenter 50 catamaran, for sale by owner. The design concept for Panta Rhei was formulated in 1981. We wanted a fast sailing catamaran with comfortable but minimal accommodation capable of cruising the oceans of the world and at the time couldn’t find anything that suited our needs. The design and construction of Panta Rhei was an evolution that occurred over a number of years and involved a cast of naval architects, a variety of construction methods, what at the time were cutting edge technologies and the development of novel approaches to implementing the smooth working of all components.

Panta Rhei has been our only home since 2014 and part time prior to that. While we never did sail the oceans of the world as hoped, we cruised extensively from Nova Scotia to the Bahamas and throughout the Caribbean. During that time, Panta Rhei proved her sea keeping abilities, potential for speed and ease of handling. She is a capable world cruiser and all that has prevented us from venturing further afield is our advancing maturity.

While Panta Rhei will not appeal to those who desire a spacious catamaran suitable for families or entertaining, she is perfect for an individual or couple who is minimalist in accommodation needs, wants the option for speed and who appreciates safe and easy sailing.

10 Best Catamarans Under 200k

Are you looking for a catamaran to enjoy with your friends and family on weekends, or summer vacation, or maybe to liveaboard? If yes, catamarans are large yachts that provide many luxuries, but that doesn’t mean you will have to destroy your savings since there are many great choices under 200k. Of course, quality isn’t cheap, especially when it comes to a life of luxury on the ocean. However, we have carefully selected the best catamarans under 200k that are both elegant and economically viable.

Price: Used From 150k to 400K

The Lagoon 380 is one of the best catamarans ever produced. By 2013, over 700 of these boats had been delivered globally. It is regarded as the baby of the Lagoon company, as it is the smallest but very comfortable even for a liveaboard family. This boat stands at 37 feet and is regarded as the benchmark for 40-and-under feet catamarans.

It was designed by the renowned French-based naval architectural company, VPLP, this boat features a simple and efficient deck layout, a circuit vision in the rounded saloon, a cockpit equipped with a real outdoor lounge area, a structural beam that provides easy access to the sea and life raft, three or four cabins which are very bright (due to the large hull windows) and can accommodate up to 10 people. The galley is located between the cockpit and the saloon. The engine room is distanced from living areas and perfectly insulated for maximum comfort. 

You can find a Lagoon 380 in good condition for around 200k, which is a phenomenal deal. At this price range, this is an affordable luxury because it is comfortable with enough amenities. In addition, it has amazing interior woodwork designed by X. Fay. The design, technology, speed, safety, and great navigation make it a whole lot more appealing. The vertical glazing provides better protection against the sun and optimizes space and headroom. The Lagoon 380 is definitely worth your time and money; make sure to check one out if there is one for sale in your area. Also, because this catamaran was very popular when it was released, there are many for sale on the used market. Personally, I believe that the Lagoon 380 is the best catamaran under 200k .

Nautitech 40

Price: Used From 180k to 500k

At 39 feet, this catamaran has redefined the living space of an affordable cruising catamaran. Designed by French naval architect Marc Lombard, it features a deck saloon combined with a cockpit lounge, which is quite unusual as they both suffer from lack of space. The deck, cockpit, saloon are all on one level. It’s elegant, has great light, and is extremely maneuverable with two helms for exceptional visibility.  

This boat is priced between $200k and $500k on the used market, depending on location, built year, and condition. It is equipped with 3 or 4 cabins depending on the version with a huge owner’s cabin on the port side. The cockpit is covered, which provides adequate protection in all kinds of weather; this especially useful if you are looking for a cruising catamaran all under 200k. Also, it offers space for up to 12 people, so you will never be short of space. It also has an amazing deck layout with the opportunity to sunbathe. The elegant line gives the boat a sporty look. This catamaran is beautiful, and if you can make a small compromise to your budget, you should clearly check one out; you definitely won’t regret buying one.

Price: Used From 170k to 250k

The Leopard 38 price ranges from around $170k to $250k, depending on age, condition, and location. This boat is very easy to maneuver(even with a limited crew). This catamaran was a collaboration of designers Robertson and Caine with Morelli and Melvin. The 38 feet catamaran features a large cockpit with an outside dining area, versatile ergonomic seating for up to eight guests, and open transoms to make boarding easy. Equipped with four double cabins and 2-berths, a spacious saloon, and an aft-facing galley with a serving window overlooking the cockpit area. 

As you can see, this is a beautiful catamaran from the exterior and then down to the interior with high-class woodwork. Also, thanks to its built quality, ample space, and the abundance of natural light thanks to its huge windows, it is ideal to be used as a liveaboard catamaran.

Fountaine Pajot Belize 43

Price: Used From 200k to 300k

Standing at 42 feet with a beautiful shape, this boat is famous for how well it cuts through water with ease and its great sailing performance. The Belize 43 is equipped with clever tricks for greater sailing ease and can be easily be operated by just a couple of people. The sails are easy to hoist and haul; it also offers a great stable platform without compromising sail performance. 

The boat features four large double cabins and 2 very pleasant single cabins alongside four heads. The hull also offers plenty of storage space and has a maximum capacity of about 10 people. Joubert-Nivelt designed this boat to be as light as possible without having to compromise stability and easy to maneuver.

With a starting price of around $200k, this catamaran is said to be the fastest in her class. You are guaranteed to spend exceptional day(s) or week(s) on this boat.

Fountaine Pajot Lavezzi 40

Price: 150k to 250k On The Used Market

This 40 feet boat is big, comfortable, and well suited for life on board. The exterior is designed by the same person who designed  Belize 43,  Joubert-Nivelt. However, the interior design was done by O. Flahault.

The prices vary from $160k to $250k on the used market. It is quite affordable considering the level of comfort and its sailability. The helm station with a deflector that provides weather protection for the person at the helm. Each hull is spacious with double cabins that comfortably accommodate eight people. This catamaran is definitely one that you should consider since it is both spacious, luxurious, and quite affordable.

Broadblue 38 Catamaran

Price: Used From 150k to 400k

Broadblue is a United Kingdom-based company at Thornham Marina, Emsworth. The company is famous for achieving the perfect combination of performance, speed, luxury liveaboard, comfort, and safety. This 38-foot catamaran price ranges from around $150k to $400k. Designed by Stuart Davidsen, it has lots of spaces, storage or not. The saloon and cockpit provide spacious comfort for 6 people, with all-round visibility whether at sea or in the harbor.

The most popular layout of this catamaran comes with 3 double cabins and 2 v-berths and, as usual with cats, a very spacious saloon. The boat has superb woodwork in the interior with lots of amenities that could afford one the life of luxury when cruising. This a very popular catamaran on the used market because of its great value-for-money. Honestly, this design looks a bit dated on the outside, but they are very comfortable and well-built.

MacGregor 40 Catamaran

Price: Around 100k

The MacGregor 40 was designed by designer and builder Roger MacGregor; as you probably understood already, he also named the boat after himself. With a price of around 100k on the used market, this 40-foot cat is astonishing for many things. It is a fast catamaran with cabins and has enough space for a weekend trip with a simple mast raising system. However, its sensitivity to moderate winds, lack of storage space, and difficulty of handling are reasons people become wary when getting the MacGregor 40. 

The galley and saloon are well equipped with the finest of craft from woodwork down to the electronics; you would certainly love the deck layout for sunbathing and a whole lot of other water sporting activities. This catamaran is for someone who is an adrenaline junkie looking for the fastest catamaran under 200k but not necessarily the most comfortable one.

Gemini Legacy 35

Price: Used From 150k to 250k

This is the most successful cruising catamaran ever built in the US. Since it was first built in 1981, this American-made boat has been the most family-friendly performance cruising catamaran in the world. The Legacy 35 has more interior space than most 40-foot monohulls and costs a little less than an average monohull, while it stands at only 35 feet. The cost varies from $150k to $250k, depending on the dealer, age, condition, etc. Like most catamarans, it is easy to maneuver, fast, family-friendly, great to liveaboard but affordable. 

The hallmark for a Gemini design is the shallow draft. Legacy 35 has a 34-inch draft that allows the boat to be pulled right up next to the beach or anchored in small protected coves.

Lagoon 35 CCC

Price: Used From 120k to 200k

The premier multihull in the world, the Lagoon 35 CCC, is built in the United States to have a hull constructed using the SCRIMP infusion method of elimination. The ‘CCC’ in front of the name stands for Coastal Cruising Catamaran. This boat is a collaboration of Jeanneau and TPI, then conceived by American architects Morelli and Melvin, who have expert knowledge in the field of designing catamarans. Morelli and Melvin chose performance over comfort. Starting at $120,000, this boat combines an excellent layout and high-quality finish with a capability of sailing fast. 

The 35 feet stylish and beautiful catamaran is complemented by the size of spaces in the boat from the large cockpit that can comfortably seat eight people. It has three or four cabins with an amazing deck layout and a comfortable view, even though the designers never prioritized that. The exterior, though, is just as sleek as the interior and one reason the boat will be enticing. This boat is as affordable as luxury can get. Whether you are looking for a weekend catamaran to spend some quality time with the family or as a liveaboard, this catamaran will be perfect for you.

Final Thoughts

A great cruising or liveaboard catamaran for under 200k? Is that even possible? Many people don’t think so; I believe I just proved them wrong! As you can see, some of these catamarans cost more than 200k on the used market, but I made sure the starting price is under the 200k mark, as the title suggests. However, do not be swiped away by the good price and rush to your checkbook. Take your time, take her out for a spin, and get her surveyed; it’s worth the extra cost to get your mind at ease because a hidden problem can cost tenths of thousands of dollars. After you make sure that everything checks out and you are aware of any problems, you can write the check and take her home; or make her your home, it’s up to you!

2022 Boat of the Year: Best Cruising Catamaran (Under 50’)

• By Cruising World Editors
• December 15, 2021

During and in the four days immediately following the US Sailboat show in Annapolis, Maryland, the  Cruising World  judges inspected and sailed on 27 boats vying for recognition. Learn more about the boats in our  2022 Boat of the Year  »

The sweet spot for cruising catamarans, for most multihull sailors, is right there between 40 and 50 feet: manageable by a couple, not so large that finding a place to park or dock is prohibitive, and with lots more room to spread out and bring the toys and kids than a monohull of similar length. This year’s set of nominees features industry stalwarts Leopard and Fountaine Pajot—both of which have enjoyed plenty of success in previous Boat of the Year competitions—and a pair of relative upstarts from Bali, the cruising offshoot from French builder Catana. The former are all-around cats with plenty of versatility; the latter aim to cater more toward the cruising/liveaboard part of the equation. Choices, choices! It proved to be a challenging quartet of cats for the judging panel to evaluate and sort out. 

The larger sibling of the two Bali cats entered for BOTY 2022—all the Bali offerings feature an innovative “garage door” separating the saloon and cockpit, which when raised creates a seamless indoor/outdoor living space that has proven to be highly popular—was the 46-plus-foot 4.6. It’s yet another one of this year’s catamarans with the ever-popular flybridge that has become a design staple for many cat builders. Judge Tim Murphy found it a pleasure to sail. “On some of the other cats, you felt you were fighting the sail controls,” he said. “Not here. It’s laid out nicely. It has a double-ended mainsheet system with no traveler but control at both ends, so you’ve got a port and a starboard sheet, and I think that’s a fine way to control the mainsail. It’s arguably easier to jibe with that system than a standard traveler; you have good athwartships control throughout the maneuver. Bali cats are known for comfort, but this one sails well too.”

At 40 feet, the Bali Catspace—the second of two boats from the brand entered in the 2022 BOTY contest—is the smallest offering in the Bali line, but judge Murphy found the open floor plan particularly alluring: “The living experience of being able to open up the back end of these cats so you create an indoor/outdoor platform is terrific. I didn’t give it much thought until I chartered a Bali, and it was totally delightful. The sailing performance was actually fine, but it was that back porch that made the trip.”

Dream Yacht Charters has added more and more Bali cats to their fleets, and it’s easy to see why. With their vast interior space; plenty of amenities including air conditioning and multiple fridges, including ones that would not be out of place in any well-equipped household kitchen ashore; and surprisingly effective sailing prowess given their systems and accommodations, these boats are almost synonymous with the word “vacation.” Take the interior layout of the Catspace: It has four staterooms with private heads, the forward pair with berths aligned athwartships and the aft set laid out in a fore-and-aft configuration. It’s hard to imagine a better use of space for four couples or a family in 40 feet of waterline.

Yes, a 40-foot catamaran is a design challenge; it’s fairly easy to accommodate loads of features in a 50-foot multihull, but it’s quite another to include all the creature comforts and niceties in considerably less real estate. But Murphy felt that the Isla 40—another 40-footer like the Catspace, but this one from longtime cat leader Fountaine Pajot—pulled it off well. The Isla also had a tall order to fill in that it replaced a previous cat of the same size in the builder’s lineup, the highly successful Lucia 40. “The mission for this boat was described in thirds,” Murphy said. “Bareboat charter, crewed charter and private ownership. I think they’ve created a boat that accomplishes all those missions. The boat sailed well, but it was also laid out well. In fact, the owner’s cabin to starboard was superb, one of the nicest places on any boat we inspected. We toured a lot of much bigger boats that didn’t have that sort of space.”

But when all was said and done, the Bali Cats and the Isla ran into a juggernaut with the Leopard 42, which proved to be a powerhouse BOTY entrant. It’s pretty clear by now that the relationship between South African builder Robertson and Caine; their lone client, the Moorings; and naval architects Simonis and Voogd, who bring the Leopard brand to life, is strong and fruitful. And they have a wall full of BOTY award-winning plaques to prove it. It’s time to make room for another. The judges found much to like about the latest Leopard, including the offset steering station to starboard and the lounge space forward accessed via a front door in the saloon. But the Leopard sealed its victory with an awesome sea trial in which it overhauled and passed a popular new monohull that shall remain nameless. Cats can’t point? Wrong!

What put the boat over the top wasn’t just the sailing performance, which was obviously terrific, but also the tools with which to sail the boat, and its overall deck layout, all of which optimized the experience. Murphy said, “With the Leopard, you have visual eye contact from the raised helm station to starboard down into the cockpit, you’ve got a visual line of sight into the saloon, and you’ve got a pretty good visibility over the top of the cabin top everywhere. You had access to your main sheet right there where you needed it. This was one of the boats that had no traveler, but instead had a windward and leeward block on the mainsheet. I think that’s a fine system, I like the control you have. Jibing works fine and is easily controlled.”

It was one little thing in a series of them, all of which added up to a boat—the Leopard 42—that was the unanimous winner in the 2022 category of Best Cruising Catamarans (Under 50’).

5 Used Sailboats You Can Buy For Under $150K

Affordable sailboats for sale in the united states and mexico..

There’s very little that can beat the sensation of being on the water, and sailing is one of the best ways to connect with the elements. You get to rely on your skills and expertise to harness the power of nature. The term sailboat covers a variety of sailing craft, each with its own characteristics and styles. 

Most sailboats have displacement hulls, allowing them to travel more smoothly through the water, and are usually made of fiberglass, metal, or wood. They can range in price from as low as $70,000 to upwards of a few million — it just depends on if it’s new or used, size, model, year, and amenities. Some of the most popular sailboat options are Beneteau , Dufour , Leopard , Jeanneau , and Oyster .

If you’re looking for an affordable boat, we found 5 sailboats under $150K, currently for sale with Denison Yachting. These used boats are designed for extended trips, racing, or liveaboard experiences.

Best boats around £150k: Our pick of the secondhand market

• Top stories

Nick Burnham picks out four of the best boats available for around £150k from the likes of Doral, Fairline, Sealine and Sunseeker…

That inflation is rising and interest rates are having to follow suit comes as no surprise to any of us with half an eye on the price of big ticket items like cars and boats.

It has always been possible to spend £50,000 on a mid-range Audi, it’s just that a few years ago you’d expect a fire-spitting Audi RS6 for that money, now it gets you an A6 2-litre diesel (and that RS6 costs an eye watering £100,000+!).

It’s the same with boats. Admittedly it was 1989 when I started in the industry and a twin-diesel 40ft flybridge Princess 388 was circa £100,000, but it wasn’t much more than a decade ago that a new Princess V42 was £250,000. Now you can pay that for a sub-30ft outboard -powered sportsboat .

As ever, solace is found in the used boat market where things feel a bit saner. This is what £150k buys you these days.

4 of the best used boats available for around £150k

Sealine c39.

Built: 2004 Price: £159,000

Coupé-style boats which have an enclosed saloon on the main deck, usually with a sliding roof, are all the rage these days but as is so often the case, we can track back through Sealine ’s history and discover that it was one of the first to offer the concept.

It launched the Sealine C39 back in 2002, selling 75 of them over the following five years. And as was Sealine’s wont at the time, the innovation didn’t stop with just the basic concept.

A big advantage with the coupé format compared to open sportscruisers is that, with a weatherpoof saloon on the main deck, you don’t need to provide a second seating area on the lower deck. Sealine took it a step further by positioning the galley in the saloon as well, freeing up the lower deck entirely for sleeping accommodation.

This means there is ample space for an ensuite owner’s cabin forward with a centreline double bed and a surprisingly generous guest cabin that runs transversely beneath the saloon plus a second bathroom that doubles up as a day heads.

Forward owner’s suite is one of two good cabins, each with their own bathroom

Whilst the coupé shape is the defining characteristic, there’s plenty more to admire in the details. The C39 was one of the first boats to feature Sealine’s Extending Cockpit System (SECS).

At rest you can press a button and the transom bench seat slides aft, taking a section of bathing platform with it to usefully increase the cockpit size without ramping up your berthing costs at the same time. It’s a brilliant idea that reaps dividends at anchor.

Performance

Sealine offered this boat with three different drive systems; the outdrives you’d expect plus Arneson surface drives or Buzzi Trimax drives, the latter two the stuff of serious 40+ knot high performance when linked to Cummins 370hp engines.

In reality, though, the twin Volvo Penta KAD 300 285hp sterndrive motors fitted to this boat offered a sufficient 35 knots for about £60,000 less.

Simple but effective helm station leaves plenty of room free for the main deck saloon

You sit high at the helm of a C39 with that panoramic wraparound screen giving a great view. Those outdrives give sporty but predictable handling.

Specifications

LOA: 39ft 3in (12.0m) Beam: 12ft 3in (3.7m) Draft: 3ft 9in (1.2m) Displacement: 9 tonnes Fuel capacity: 1,046 litres Engines: Twin Volvo Penta KAD 300 285hp diesels Location: Torquay Contact: One Marine

Secondhand buyers guide: Best boats under £200,000

Best boats under £100,000 from the secondhand market, fairline phantom 42.

Built: 1998 Price: £149,950

In the mid 1990s, competition amongst the British builders for king of the 40ft flybridge market was fierce!

Princess Yachts fielded its well-judged Princess 40 , Sealine offered its innovative Sealine 42/5 and Fairline offered this Phantom 42, a development of the Fairline Phantom 40 launched in the mid 1990s and essentially the same boat but with an extended bathing platform.

All of the boats had a similar layout but offered something slightly different. In the case of the Fairline, its specialist subject was interior finish.

Obvious as soon as you step through the sliding saloon door, the rich high-gloss cherry carpentry, tight cream linings and leather upholstery whispered that this was a cut above.

Entirely conventional, the layout was classic “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” standard for the era, with an ensuite double forward, twin guest cabin to starboard with the day heads ahead of it, and galley a couple of steps up to port.

On the main deck you’ll find the raised double helm ahead of an L-shaped settee on one side and a further smaller settee plus a small sideboard opposite.

Forward owner’s cabin was par for the course in the 1990s and still works well today

Fairline added a flourish to the conventional profile via some wacky-style mouldings across the lower main saloon side windows.

It looked good, if rather blocking out the view! Beyond that, it’s a very practical layout with plenty of grab rails and non-slip about the place and decent side decks. Stairs lead up to a generous flybridge with a second helm.

Fairline offered Caterpillar or Volvo Penta options. We tested the boat with the former, twin 355hp units that topped out at a smidgen over 30 knots.

The (more popular) Volvo Penta TAMD 63P engines fitted to this boat are fractionally more powerful at 370hp each, and so should offer similar performance, give or take a few lost ponies over the years.

Leather and cherry interior was a cut above its rivals at the time but looks a little dated now

A tried-and-tested Olesinski hull with shaft drive and tunnelled props, we took our test boat across the channel to Jersey at a steady 25 knots, only backing off slightly through some lumpy stuff near the island.

Sunseeker Martinique 36

Built: 1990 Price: £149,950

Circa £150,000 might seem a lot of money for a 32-year-old 36ft Sunseeker , but this is no ordinary 32 year-old 36ft Sunseeker. A combination of Covid lockdown and a young business looking to showcase its talents in the yacht refit world resulted in this incredible project, which was undertaken by Yacht Solutions through much of 2020.

The layout is classic Martinique. Owner’s cabin in the bows, galley opposite a dinette in the middle and a mid cabin aft running beneath the cockpit.

But there the similarities end because this entire area was stripped bare and rebuilt with new plumbing, new electrics, modern LED diffused lighting and up to the minute galley finishes and upholstery choices. If Sunseeker relaunched the Martinique this year, it probably still wouldn’t look this modern and this good.

You’d never know this was a 32-year-old boat thanks to the style and quality of the refit

It’s the same story in the cockpit, where Riva-esque diamond-stitched burnt orange upholstery is set off by composite random planked decking and latest touch-screen navigation and engine monitoring.

On the outside, the entire boat was wrapped in a metallic grey vinyl wrap from the tip of the arch to the waterline. What’s most noticeable is that, beyond the lack of a few modern niceties like a transom door, this boat looks brilliant, a testimony to how inherently right boats of this era look even now.

After the refit and when still fitted with the original and rather worn Volvo Penta AQAD 41 200hp engines, performance was best described as ”breathless”. It got up on the plane okay but a fast cruising speed of 28 knots required the throttles to be on the end stops.

Like most boat issues, solving this conundrum simply required hurling a massive amount of money at the problem and a pair of shiny D3-220 motors under the cockpit floor restored the 30-knot plus top end and mid-20 knot cruise the boat should have.

Gorgeous new upholstery looks the business and seats a small army of guests

What definitely hadn’t dimmed with age was the seakeeping. Conceived in an era when boats were designed from the outside in, with the focus on handling rather than internal volume, this boat is as sweet through the water as anything sub-40ft has any right to be.

LOA: 38ft 0in (11.6m) Beam: 12ft 0in (3.7m) Draft: 2ft 9in (0.9m) Displacement: 6.5 tonnes Fuel capacity: 549 litres Engines: Twin Volvo Penta D3-220 220hp diesels Location : Lymington Contact: Sunseeker Poole

Doral Alegria

Built: 2005 Price: £165,000

At nearly 50ft long, the Alegria was the largest boat from the once prolific Canadian builder Doral, which had been building boats for 30 years when the recession of the early noughties sank the business. All of its models followed a theme of smart looks and a quality feel to the interiors, and its flagship was no exception.

Rather than yielding to the temptation of squeezing in a third cabin, the designers went for two larger cabins and a lower saloon. There’s a big centreline double up forward plus separate heads and shower compartments, the latter to port, the former to starboard.

The middle of the lower deck is all about comfortable living, with a sofa opposite the galley, and then back aft you’ll find the day heads and a generous guest cabin, complete with its own dressing table. There’s air-conditioning throughout and vacuum-flush toilets, all very sophisticated for a near 20-year-old boat.

Doral’s reputation for high quality interiors shines through in this 20-year-old example

The temptation with sportscruisers of this size is always to add a huge sunpad aft and hide a tender garage beneath it. But Doral didn’t yield to that concept, instead the Alegria has cockpit seating that stretches all the way aft to the transom.

An optional extended bathing platform section with a 400kg lift will accommodate a substantial RIB – this owner running a Highfield 3.8m with a 20hp outboard. Very unusually for a boat of this size, an opening centre section of the windscreen gives quick and easy access forward from the helm.

A pair of meaty Volvo Penta D9 motors sit beneath the cockpit floor, growling out a combined 1,000hp for a top speed of 30 knots according to the owner. 23 knots is a comfortable cruise we’re told.

Spacious lower saloon and galley separates the two big cabins at either end

The drive system is kept nice and simple; big engines linked to big gearboxes that spin a pair of conventional shafts exiting the hull and turning a pair of four-bladed bronze propellers. What it lacks in the way of sophisticated joystick docking of systems, like IPS, it gains in low maintenance and stable offshore performance.

LOA: 49ft 8in (15.2m) Beam: 13ft 10in (4.2m) Draft: 3ft 7in (1.1m) Displacement: 14 tonnes Fuel capacity: 1,800 litres Engines: Twin Volvo Penta D9-500 500hp diesels Location: Brighton Contact: Ancasta

Four more boats under £150k from the June 2019 issue

Bavaria s30.

Built: 2017 Price: £142,540

A price tag of £150,000 is easily enough to slot you into some tasty new machinery. This ex-display model Bavaria S30 neatly bridges the gap between new and secondhand: it’s been antifouled and exhibited but never owned, so the warranties start from scratch.

£150,000 is enough to put you in a basically new Bavaria, still under warranty

It’s a proper sportscruiser, so headroom is capped to maintain its sleek lines, but you’ll get just over 6ft in the key areas. There’s room aplenty below decks, with a large dinette forward that converts to a big double bed and a separate mid cabin with a permanent double and a small settee. In between, a generous galley and heads compartment complete the arrangements.

The dinette converts to a double berth

The S30 is actually an S29 with a different cockpit layout better suited to our northern European climate. Gone is the sunpad aft in favour of a larger cockpit with seating that runs all the way back to the transom. It also frees up space for extra forward- facing seating alongside the helm.

For those rare occasions when the sun does shine, dropping the cockpit table restores sunbathing facilities. The optional extended bathing platform offers room for watersports.

Although available with twin engines, a big single suits this boat well, specifically the Volvo Penta D4 . The 260hp version is adequate but the enhanced 300hp version fitted to this boat should push the top speed into the mid thirties, giving economical cruising in the mid twenties. You also gain plenty of space with one engine in a bay big enough for two.

The helm has room for a chartplotter

A wide beam makes the S30 stable and a displacement of nearly five tonnes gives it a planted demeanour. For the same reason, it’s pretty docile in close quarters too.

Specification

Length: 30ft 5in (9.3m) Beam : 9ft 8in (3.0m) Draught: 4ft 2in (1.3m) Displacement: 4.8 tonnes Fuel capacity: 137 gallons (520 litres) Engine: Volvo Penta D4-300 300hp diesel Contact: Clipper Marine

The NC11 is a very adaptable model but the basic spec level is low, so check for extras

Jeanneau NC11

Built: 2010 Price: £149,950

In 2010, French yard Jeanneau launched a new model line – the NC range, starting with this 36ft NC11. NC stands for New Concept, and the idea was to create deck saloon boats with the main deck accommodation fully enclosed. It has since been joined by both larger and smaller siblings like the Jeanneau NC14 and NC9 .

The deck saloon is full of clever ideas that make the most of the available space. There’s a sliding roof above and a sliding door next to the helm; even the four section cockpit doors can open either way.

Big windows provide great visibility

The rear seat can join the dinette or face aft into the cockpit, and its opposite number further forward can face the table or flip to provide forward-facing seating. The galley is also on this level, freeing the lower deck for two generous cabins that share a heads. There’s also an inordinate amount of very useful stowage beneath the saloon floor and in the engine space.

Moving parts aren’t limited to the interior. The whole transom moulding, complete with seat, can slide back for more cockpit space or pull forward for more room on the swim platform. Asymmetric side decks create an extra-wide walkway on the port deck.

Twin Volvo Penta D3 motors are the only engine option at 200hp or 220hp each, the former giving the boat about 34 knots in perfect conditions. Despite being relatively small, they push the boat on to the plane easily and run comfortably, cruising in the mid twenties. There’s plenty of ‘top hamper’ to catch the wind but bow and stern thrusters should make light work of berthing manoeuvres.

The transom seat slides fore and aft to vary the space in the cockpit and bathing platform

Its big windows provide great visibility and the noise levels are commendably low. Lightweight D3 motors help the NC11 plane happily at speeds below 20 knots, a useful asset in big seas.

Length: 36ft 6in (11.1m) Beam: 12ft 3in (3.7m) Draught: 3ft 3in (1.0m) Displacement: 5.9 tonnes Fuel capacity: 158 gallons (720 litres) Engines: Twin Volvo Penta D3-200 200hp diesel Contact: Blackrock Yachting

The Sunseeker Sportfisher 37 is a rare find on the used boat market

Sunseeker Sportfisher 37

Built: 2004 Price: £135,000

Sunseeker had one eye firmly on the US market when it launched the Sportfisher 37 in 2003. It is a rare sight in the UK but if it does look familiar, it might be because it made a fleeting appearance in Casino Royale as Bond arrives in the Bahamas.

Below, a large centreline double bed dominates the open-plan cabin. There’s a small settee and a compact galley down here too, as well as a spacious heads with a shower cubicle. The finish is classic Sunseeker – gloss or muted satin cherry woodwork.

A double bed dominates the cabin

The large and open aft section of the cockpit is pure sportsfisher, big game or otherwise. A side gate also makes this area a good diving platform. The central helm puts the skipper in close contact with the anglers behind and the seating area ahead of it, shaded by an optional GRP bimini.

US boats were fitted with multiple petrol outboards but European models were powered by a pair of sterndrive diesels, 285hp Volvo Penta KAD300 or the more recent D6-310 units of this boat, good for 40 knots.

A central helm has good links to the boat

The twin-stepped deep-vee hull was capable of channelling up to 900hp and has no qualms coping with 620hp. It’s a balanced ride, combining fast long-distance cruising with decent fuel economy.

Length: 37ft 0in (11.3m) Beam: 11ft 0in (4.6m) Draught: 3ft 8in (3.3m) Displacement: 8.3 tonnes Fuel capacity: 220 gallons (1,000 litres) Engines: Twin Volvo Penta D6-310 310hp diesel

The Antares 13.80 represents a colossal amount of boat for your money

Beneteau Antares 13.80

Built: 2005 Price: £149,999

It’s easy to buy a big cheap boat – just buy an old one. However, getting one that’s still relatively new, say post 2000, is a little harder. This is where mass-produced French boats tend to score highly. They lack the detailing of the best British and Scandinavian boats but they do offer a solidly built solution that’s comparably cheaper.

Having said that, it’s almost as though Beneteau forgot that they were piling them high and selling them cheap. Sure, there are a few exposed screw heads and a bit more bare GRP on show than you would find in more prestigious models, but there’s plenty of high-gloss cherry, adding a touch of class to an interior that is light and roomy.

The high-gloss cherry adds a touch of class

Three cabins and two heads compartments mean that six people can sleep very comfortably, with at least two bulkheads between each cabin. Only the galley, moved up to the main deck by the three-cabin layout, is a little cramped.

The side decks are over a foot wide with 6in raised bulwarks adding another margin of safety. Everywhere is teak laid and the windows are trimmed in stainless steel. The deck gear is good too, with 16in cleats. The styling is purposeful and timeless, and the cockpit and the flybridge are unusually generous for its size.

A pair of big, simple Volvo Penta TAMD 75 diesel engines fire their combined 960hp down big, simple shaftdrives, making for relatively low maintenance costs and a top speed of over 30 knots. So there is absolutely no skimping on performance.

The flybridge enjoys a very sociable layout

There is no skimping on the seakeeping either. The narrower-than-normal forward hull sections give good head sea performance, while there is plenty of flare to the topsides to keep the inevitable spray to a minimum.

Length: 45ft 9in (14.0m) Beam: 14ft 1in (4.3m) Draught: 3ft 7in (1.1m) Displacement: 11.9 tonnes Fuel capacity: 330 gallons (1,500 litres) Engines: Volvo Penta TAMD 75 480hp diesel Contact: One Marine

The Bavaria S30 puts you into what is effectively a new boat with full warranties; a nice place to be, and an economical one with that big D4 single engine. Tempting. The Jeanneau NC11 trades a little age for a bigger boat, twin engines and a wonderfully adaptable all-weather layout. It would make a great all-season boat.

Then I found the Sunseeker Sportfisher and rather fell for it. I love the quirky styling, the rarity, the finish and near-40- knot performance. I was set to make it my choice but then I discovered the Beneteau: three cabins, masses of deck space, a flybridge, two big shaftdrive diesel engines, recent build and classic styling, all sub £150,000. Incredible! Only my bank balance is keeping Smuggler’s Blues 2 safe.
