CatamaYak: How to Build a Kayak Catamaran

August 14, 2013 By John P.

We happen to own four identical kayaks, we bought the Equinox 10.4 kayaks at Costco, and we started working on ways to hack them to make them even better! First, I hacked a motor onto my kayak , and then I thought I’d give it a shot and see if we could build a catamaran out of a couple of em.

The CatamaYak Concept

When we go out on the water there is usually a group of us. Some are faster than others, and some just enjoy a leisurely time on the lake. We wanted to be able to turn a couple of kayaks into a floating relaxation station and give it a motor so that a couple of people could simply sit back and relax while still being able to tag along.

The CatamaYak needed to have a few important characteristics:

• be light and easy to assemble at the lake
• be extremely waterproof and not get slippery
• be durable enough to take a pounding from the waves
• be rigid enough to deal with the forces encountered

Given the design considerations I took a few measurements and drew up a quick sketch of the components and how I imagined they would fit together.

If you are going to design your own there are a few important things to keep in mind.

• The bow (nose) of the kayak is generally narrower than the stern (rear). So don’t just make the front and rear crossbeams the same length or it will look funny and not perform as well.
• You could substitute wood 2x4s for PVC in my design, but its not going to last as long and its going to flex and expand as it takes on water. Its also going to be a LOT heavier.
• If you intend to add a motor like I did you must make sure that the distance between the two kayaks in the center is sufficient for the motor to turn 360 degrees without the blades hitting the side of the watercraft.

The Kayak Catamaran Parts List

Everything I used for this experiment came from Lowe’s. I’m sure you could also find it at Home Depot or other home improvement stores.

• 3 – 10′ sections of 2″ PVC pipe
• 4 – 2″ PVC T sections
• 4 – 2″ PVC end caps
• PVC cleaner and cement
• 1 – 18″ x 72″ wood board
• 4 – 2″ stainless steel U bolts with lock nuts and washers
• 4 – 5″ stainless steel eye bolts with lock nuts and washers
• 1 – 8′ 2×4 (or a couple of 8″ scraps)
• 2 – 8″ 5/8×16 bolts with lock nuts and washers
• 4 – Ratcheting straps

I also needed a rubber mallet, wrenches, a drill, a set of drill bits, and a table saw. You could do without the table saw by having the store cut the wood for you.

Building the Kayak Catamaran

The first thing I did was set the two kayaks beside one another and lay the crossbeam PVC pipes on top of it. This allowed me to take measurements and make sure my design was roughly accurate.

It turns out that the exact finished dimensions worked perfectly for my kayaks and particular brand of trolling motor (Minn Kota 30 pound unit). See the design sketch above if you have Equinox 10.4 kayaks and want to exactly duplicate this build.

I then cut all the PVC pipes and dry fit the pieces. I used my table saw to cut the PVC, but you could use a hacksaw and do it by hand, or you could use a reciprocating saw or basically anthing with a blade long enough to go through 2″ of PVC. Its a very soft material so its easy to cut – but keep your cut very straight as you go. The pieces won’t fit properly if the cuts are all crooked.

Then it was time to attach the pieces. First, you must start with the rectangular center frame, and you have to be VERY careful when assembling this piece to make sure you get it extremely straight!

I carefully cleaned and cemented each fitting and lightly attached a T union to one end of the support frame. I then VERY QUICKLY laid it on the flat piece of wood to make sure the T’s were pointing straight. After a little adjusting I took a rubber mallet and pounded the T’s on as far as they would go.

You’ll know when the pieces are fully inserted because there is a little ridge in each connector or end cap that won’t let the pipe go any farther. So you don’t need to worry that you put it in too far. In fact, if you follow my design its extremely important that all PVC is assembled as tightly as possible for proper fit and structural integrity.

If done right you can look inside the T fitting and see there are no gaps and some of the cement is pretty much sealing all the way around the tube where they meet.

First glue up both end pieces, then attach the two long PVC supports to one end, and follow up by attaching the other end piece – which will require you to glue up two pipes at the same time. Work quickly as the PVC cement drys fast! And remember – HAMMER EVERYTHING TOGETHER WITH A RUBBER MALLET!

After that you’re in the home stretch. Time to glue on the cross beam pieces. These are the most critical joints so make sure they are very clean and you have plenty of cement. You don’t want these to break on the water! Also, notice again that in my design the front and rear are different lengths. Here is a photo showing just one side glued up.

Once you’ve finished connecting all the PVC joints and adding end caps, you can lay the frame back down on your kayaks and begin attaching the connecting hardware. First up, the wooden platform needs to be connected on top. This serves two purposes. First, it provides a lot of torsional rigidity. And secondly, it gives you a spot where you can put stuff!

I used 4 long eye bolts pointing upwards to connect the wood to my PVC frame by drilling down through the wood and directly through the center of each of the 4 T-connectors in the corners. By using the eye bolts it gives connection points in each of the 4 corners that can be used for lashing things to the top, or could even be used for lifting / hanging the platform.

You’re going to attach 4 eye bolts pointing downward from the end of each crossbeam. These are going to be used for connecting the ratcheting strap to hold the kayaks in place.

The other end of the strap mounting is a U bolt mounted directly on the platform. Make sure and leave enough room that the ratchet can be entirely on top when its mounted securely. This does a couple of things, but most importantly it allows you to ratchet it up a little while on the water if it loosens up, which it will do a bit when it gets wet. I’ve already proven out this point on the Lake, so don’t skip it.

You’re about done at this point! Now if you intend to mount a motor on it you need to add a wood block that will fit it. I accomplished this by cutting two 2×4″s down to 8″ wide. These were attached with several stainless steel screws and an L bracket (found near the fencing stuff in the lumber department) for some added rigidity. I wanted to make sure there was NO flex with the motor so all of the power translated to forward momentum instead of any wiggle in the mount.

At this point you should be done and ready to simply slip a ratcheting strap under each mounting point, front and rear, on both Kayaks and secure them tightly.

We took the double Kayak Catamaran out on the lake for the day and it performed FAR better than I ever expected! The little 30 pound Minn Kota trolling motor was able to EASILY push the watercraft! By the way, you need to really watch the video I did about the single Kayak motor mount in order to see how to wire it up and which battery to use, etc. But even with the little trolling motor battery I used we were out on the lake messing around with the motor in use for over an hour and only used 20% of the battery life.

Not only was this rig able to easily push and steer the CatamaYak, but we were able to even TOW both of the other Kayaks without any issue! Amazing.

A couple of last little things. You’ll see in all of the photos that the wood panel in the middle is exposed untreated wood. That’s because we bought some special textured extremely waterproof paint to cover it with, but I didn’t do it before the first trip out to the lake. We’ll be painting it for long term durability soon.

Finally, if you do this, you’re technically changing your kayak into a home built motor boat. And in Texas, and probably most states, you’re going to have to register it as a watercraft. It costs like $30 in Texas to do it, but be warned that if the lake police come by you could be ticketed for taking this on the water without registration. So make sure you’re covered so you don’t worry about it.

Oh, and be prepared for a LOT of attention on the water! Because no one has ever seen anything like this before so they’ll all want to be checking it out!

So, that’s it! I hope you guys enjoy the hack / build. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below and I’ll help as best I can. This is a project that you can build in just a couple of hours if you have the right tools, and the entire cost was around $100 including PVC, wood, bolts, paint, etc. So that’s a pretty good value!

This is awesome! I am with Robert on the straps..confused about the role of the U bolts. I thought the ratchet strap hooked back to the platform eye bolt. Please clarify. By the way John, why did you take yours apart?

May 12, 2016 at 10:32 am

I used the u-bolts on the platform so that the base of the ratchets could lay flat against the wood once everything was tightened up. This way when you’re on the water you can use one hand to ratchet it tighter if need be.

You may be able to use the same I look somewhere and put both ends of the ratchet on it. You just want to make sure that you have enough room for the straps to Route Around everything and still be accessible when you’re on the water. It could be fairly disastrous to have anything separate with your stuff on that Central platform. It would pretty much just think…

I disassembled mine because I wasn’t going to register it as a watercraft, and it takes up too much room in the garage for something I’m not using constantly. If we had a lake house I would have definitely left it hooked up. It was great! :-)

December 14, 2015 at 5:37 pm

This is something I have been wanting to do for a long time. Great instructions. One thing that isn’t clear to me is how the ratchet straps attach to the u-bolts. Could yo show a top view picture to make it easy to see? Thanks.

January 5, 2016 at 10:59 pm

Sorry Robert, I took it apart a while back so I can’t take a photo any more. But since the ratcheting straps have hooks on them, as long as you get them hooked into the eye bolt and just tighten them up, they’ll stay! :-)

April 10, 2015 at 10:53 am

Great modification! I have 2 identical Perception Sport Pescador 120 kayaks and this has definitely inspired me to build a similar setup. I also own a Hobie Adventure island and love the extra space gained from the trapoline sides between the kayak and the amas (just like your wooden platform has done). You could also add additional cargo space to the void formed between the wooden platform and the front of the two kayaks from a lightweight water repellent material. Great work, thanks for sharing!

July 14, 2014 at 9:27 am

I wanted to say thank you for posting this project. My son is handicapped and i had wanted to take him our on my kayaks and could not imagine how to make it safe for him to enjoy. This is perfect. We even got a thumbs up from the Vessel Assist Boat Crew on our Maiden Voyage. The stability is amazing even in Lake Washington with the chop and larger motorized vessels. Your measurements were spot on for our boats. High Five! Would love to share a pic. This has opened up a whole new world to a boy and his dog. Thank you!

July 23, 2014 at 11:30 pm

Yeah! I’m so happy to hear that this was helpful! :-)

August 15, 2013 at 8:33 am

That definitely seems easier than I thought.

August 14, 2013 at 2:40 pm

I was going to say if John built it a Catastrophe but it looks pretty good. Cali has large feet or John has small ones. :)

Starting with a W720 walkaround:

Super stability, unrivaled by any kayak of any size

The W720 is not as stable as the S4 microskiff, but its stability is better than that of any kayak of any size, and it is comparable to that of a small fishing boat.

Motorizing and Driving the W720

You can drive the W720 riding the comfortable and stable saddle-seat, or standing up

With a load capacity of 400 lbs, the W720 can serve as a boat tender , and for touring:

The W720 passengers ride its 7’8″ long ergonomic saddle, which is similar to the saddles of jet-skis, all-terrain vehicles (ATV) and snowmobiles, and they can stand up anytime. The average US male weighs 200 lbs, and the average US female weighs 165 lbs, so with its 400 lbs total payload, the W720 has enough room and carrying capacity for a crew of two adult passengers and their gear, or two adult passengers and one child.

W720 Carrying Capacity (Payload) and Draft

The average US adult male weighs 200 lbs, and the average US adult female weighs 165 lbs. With its maximal recommended payload of 400 lbs, the W720 tandem kayak-skiff can carry two average size passengers, plus a portable outboard gas motor up to 3 HP.

• Max Recommended Load: 400 lbs (181 kg)

SHALLOW DRAFT IN REAL-WORLD TERMS The W720 offers its crew to paddle easily, effectively and comfortably in water that’s too shallow for an outboard motor’s propeller to work in. Poling over long distances is not an option for most people, which is why the W720’s full paddling alternative to motorizing makes it the most practical boat for fishing in shallow water, as well as in places where aquatic vegetation and underwater structures limit the use of a motor. The full-fledged paddling option also makes it possible to launch and beach the W720 practically anywhere.

Onboard Storage

The W720 has an internal volume for storage and passengers that’s extremely large: 20.5 cubic ft (153 gallons, 580 liters). This volume does not include the space inside of the watertight Saddle, which should not be used for storage, since it is designated to serve as flotation. Practically, the W720 offers as much onboard storage space as a medium size Jon boat does. Read more about onboard storage »

W720 Flotation

The W720 saddle is a large-volume watertight compartment that provides 180 lbs (81 kg) of positive buoyancy, which works as flotation in case of capsize.

Paddling mode: The W720 is considerably faster when powered by a tandem crew or a strong paddler, and it’s pretty fast for an average solo paddler. Motorized: With a 3 HP outboard motor, the W720 can rarely exceed 10 mph. Note : Currently, no manufacturer of outboard gas motors offers a 4-cycle 3 HP  model, and the closest are 2.5 HP outboards. As for various electric motors that are presented as being equivalent in power to 3 HP gas outboard motors, they are not, to the best of our understanding. See the “Thrust, Horsepower (HP) and Kilowatts (KW)” section in this article on motorized kayaks »

W720 Construction

The W720 is assembled from two parts rotomolded from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). These two parts are –

• The Saddle , which is closed from all directions and watertight. These attributes makes it effective as flotation for the boat.
• The Twinhull , which includes the two hulls, the Spray Deflector that goes around the cockpit, and a base for the Saddle part that’s dubbed the Central Platform.

The Twinhull is protected by seven molded-in plastic brackets integrated with the Saddle, plus one MDO (wood and polymer resin composite) heavy duty bracket installed behind the saddle, in a special compartment. This 3D animation video shows how the W720’s Twinhull and Saddle parts are assembled:

The saddle part is watertight, and serves as flotation. It features seven integrated (molded-in) plastic brackets (see above video) which keep the boat rigid.

Heavy Duty (HD) Wooden Saddle Bracket and Motor Mounting Plate

The above video doesn’t show the MDO (composite of wood and polymer resin) W720 bracket installed behind the saddle, in a special compartment.

This additional saddle bracket reinforces the boat’s structure in the stern area, where the load created by the combined weight of a heavy passenger and an outboard motor requires it.

In addition, this bracket provides support for the W720 motor mounting plate, which is attached to it from behind by means of a pair of 5/16 bolts and a pair of screws.

The wooden bracket and mounting plate form the motor mount for outboard motors up to 3 HP.

W720 materials:.

Thanks to the extra durability and resilience of Polyethylene, it is the polymer resin of choice for molding nearly all modern kayaks.

Our boats and kayaks are made from 100% recyclable materials

W720 Country of Origin:

Paddling kit.

Paddling Kit for Kayaking and Canoeing »  Price: $110

This kit includes a 9 ft long, 2-piece dual blade ‘Kayaking’ paddle and a pair of T-grip handles. The two halves of the XL paddle can be instantly outfitted with handles, and transformed into 2 canoe paddles. This paddling kit also complements driving the W720, since canoe paddles take less room on board than longer kayak paddles do, and you always need a paddle on board a small boat, to help with launching and beaching, going in shallow water, and just in case something goes wrong with the motor.

We do not ship this paddling kit separately from the kayak itself.

Transportation and Carrying

Car topping a W720 is easy and quick, even for one person –

Carrying a W720 can be as easy as dragging it on the ground:

Note: We ship the W720 without Nylon eyelets (tie-downs), flotation tubes,  and spray shield seen in this video. The motor mount seen in it is an old, discontinued model. We do not recommend driving or paddling the W720 in the open ocean.

Owners Reviews »

W720 – users and applications.

• Big Guys. These users can enjoy extreme stability, a roomy cockpit, and a high saddle seat that’s considerably more comfortable and ergonomic than any other kayak seat.  Read a big guy’s review »
• Tandem Paddlers (Touring). Typically, two paddlers looking to paddle together in a stable, comfortable, dry, and easy to paddle craft that they could car-top without problems. The W720 is a better solution compared to both canoes and regular tandem kayaks. With two average size paddlers on board, the W720 can carry some gear on board as well, or a small child, or a dog.
• Tandem Kayak Anglers. Typically, two guys who fish out of a large size kayak or canoe. Recommended models: W720 or S4, depending on propulsion preference (paddle or motor), and type of water (e.g. flat water, bays, offshore). The W720 is a perfect tandem fishing kayak that works well with a small, lightweight outboard motor up to 3 HP, while the S4 is a high-performance motorboat that works pretty well as a tandem kayak too.
• Solo Hunters. There is enough room on board a W720 for a large size hunter, plus plenty of hunting gear including dozens of decoys (see storage video ), a motor, and a dog or two.
• Tandem Hunters. Typically, duck hunters and other waterfowl hunters, and their gear. Recommended models: W720, S4. The W720 works perfectly for paddling, and the S4 works perfectly for motorizing, including with a surface drive ( mud motor ).
• Families. The W720 is suitable for a couple paddling on flat water together with two young children, and it can be outfitted with an outboard gas motor up the 3 HP.
• Boaters. The 720 works very well as a tender (service boat) for a big boat or a yacht. The S4 works better in this capacity thanks to its bigger payload capability and seaworthiness, and the fact that you can tow it behind the boat, which is not advised for the W720.
• Solo Kayak Anglers. The W720 is lighter and much more stable than any high-end SOT or sit-in fishing kayak out there. The S4 has a bigger load capacity, and it’s more seaworthy than all kayaks and most microskiffs.
• Flats Fishermen. Typically, these anglers fish out of a Jon boat, a microskiff or a skiff, which is a name given to a broad range of small, shallow-draft, stable motorboats that are too heavy to car-top, and can’t be paddled effectively. The W720 is easy to car top even for one person, and unrivaled as a mobile and stable paddle craft.  More microskiff info »
• Offshore Fishermen. The S4 is considerably more seaworthy than the W720.
• Offshore Technical Crews. People working on offshore scientific, engineering and maintenance projects that typically involve the use of Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIB) or RIB (Rigid-Inflatable Boat).  Recommended model: S4.
• Catamaran-Dinghy Sailors. For a 1-2 crew. Recommended model: S4.
• Speed, Fun, and Adventure Seekers. For a 1-2 crew. Recommended model: Motorized S4.

W720 Owners Reviews »

W720 or s4.

• W720 advantages over the S4:  Solo kayaking, solo canoeing, light tandem kayaking, light tandem canoeing, portability.
• S4 advantages over the W720: Driving, seaworthiness, ocean, tandem motorizing, tandem fishing, stability, offshore trips, load capacity (big guys, additional passengers, heavy gear, powerful motor).
• Shallow water – The S4 drafts a bit less than the W720, and it features a skiff stand up casting platform, but the W720 paddles better.
• Offshore –  The S4 is much more seaworthy than the W720.
• Motor – The S4 features a molded-in motor mount and a 1.5″ heavy-duty wooden mounting plate, while the W720 features a 3/4″ wooden mounting plate that’s attached to a wooden saddle bracket inside its cockpit. The S4 is considerably more stable and has a higher load capacity than the W720, and due to all these differences, the S4 is rated for a 6 HP motor and the W720 for a 3 HP motor.

Do you feel unsure? Please don’t hesitate to call or email us. We’re always happy to answer questions about our products and the best ways to use them, and offer more details about performance, outfitting, etc.

The MiniCat is resistant to abrasion and wears as its material aligns with the white water rafts production. This inflatable dinghy’s weight capacity is 530 kg, which allows approximately four people aboard the sailboat.

Glued Seams vs. Welded Seams

Welded seams are often used for RIBs as they are affordable, typically easy to do, and inflated most of the time. Glued seams are best for boats you intend to fold and unfold constantly.

Welded seams become brittle and will start to leak. Additionally, they are not totally repairable as you can only patch them up, which compromises your boat’s quality and performance.

You want to purchase glued seamed boats, which are more flexible and have higher holding power in complex shapes and sizes.

Frequently Asked Question

Yes, you most definitely can, but there are a number of little details you and your team need to remember when leaving it inflated. Equipping your dinghy catamaran with chaps is best to protect it against UV rays and keep off bird poop. Inflatable bottom paint is also one thing to help your boat contend with any growth in your waters.

The best way to store an inflatable catamaran is by deflating it and rolling it up. Store it in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight. You can also use a storage bag to keep it protected while in storage.

Inflatable catamarans can last for a very long time, provided you take good care of them. Your inflatable catamaran can last for many years with proper maintenance and storage.

Inflatable catamarans are just as safe as any other type of boat, provided that you use them properly and follow all safety guidelines. Always wear a life jacket when aboard an inflatable catamaran, and avoid rough waters.

Insider Advice

If there’s one thing you need to remember when purchasing and maneuvering inflatable catamarans, it’s safety. You may want to be the next Laura Dekker or chill out in the water on some days. 

No matter what, you need to take California-approved boating safety courses and always have a number of life jackets with you for you and your crew.

Better be on the safe side all the time.

TAKACAT - The Original from New Zealand Inflatable Catamaran Boats + Kayak

Kayaking redesigned - Takayak-395 - the redesigned kayak from Takacat offers advantages for all those who do not want to do without comfort and unique features even when kayaking. The advantages of a catamaran are a stable position in the water, a ride like on two rails, getting in and out of the kayak via the open bow is effortless, even out of the water back into the kayak, plenty of space for dogs and luggage travelling with you and a unique forced bilge.

Electric outboard and rudder in one - A team of five designed the electric engine RemigoOne , tested it, implemented improvements. The designer Ajda Bertok came up with the final shape: "I was able to start from scratch - where else is that possible in a design? There were no specifications or models for the RemigoOne, she says. The overriding idea of "as simple as possible" extends to all areas of the RemigoOne. Everything that is not absolutely necessary should be omitted. There is no throttle grip. "We hear a lot of comments asking about it - but as soon as people ride our motor, nobody asks." In Marko Vrtovec's opinion, the component is also a superfluous feature: "Nobody is constantly turning the throttle back and forth - you get on, set the speed and off you go," says Marko Vrtovec, Remigo's CEO.

Takacat-LXRIB - The special advantages of inflatable boats, rigid hull boats and catamarans are combined in the LXRIB from Takacat to create an interesting solution. A combination of hydrodynamic and aredynamic influences allow the Takacat LXRIB to float over the water instead of cutting through it, resulting in decent planing characteristics when using compact outboards and good fuel efficiency. With its large centre floor and integrated bow platform (460LXR) with anchor locker, the Takacat LXRIB offers more space than other inflatable boats in this size range. Due to its catamaran-specific stability and gliding behaviour, the Takacat LXRIB is a very good boat for multiple uses such as diving, fishing, camping, water skiing and tubing. The Takacat LXRIB is also a very good choice as a safety and support boat for all types of water sports.

• Primera vez en un catamarán: lo que hay que saber

Durante su formación como capitán, habrá aprendido a maniobrar un velero monocasco. Pero, ¿qué pasará cuando tenga la oportunidad de navegar en un catamarán? Descubra todo lo que necesita saber, incluidas las diferencias con los monocascos, los factores importantes a tener en cuenta, los pros y los contras, y los destinos y modelos de catamarán recomendados. Si es nuevo en la navegación en catamarán, ésta es la guía perfecta para usted.

5 razones para alquilar un catamarán

¿Cuáles son las principales razones por las que alguien decide navegar en un catamarán? He aquí las principales ventajas de elegir este tipo de embarcación.

1. Estabilidad

El doble casco de un catamarán proporciona una estabilidad inicial excepcional, lo que le permite mantenerse a flote y estable en aguas agitadas y con viento. Si busca una experiencia de navegación suave y tranquila, especialmente con niños pequeños o personas propensas al mareo, un catamarán es una gran opción. Es perfecto para llevar a la abuela o a un amigo nervioso que nunca se ha subido a un barco.

CONSEJO DE YACHTING.COM: Marearse no es sólo una de las principales preocupaciones de los navegantes noveles, sino también de los veraneantes en un viaje en barco. Pero incluso puede afectar de vez en cuando a los navegantes experimentados. Los que tienen un humor más negro dicen que tiene dos fases: en la primera te pones tan enfermo que temes morirte, y en la segunda, temes no hacerlo. Lo importante, sin embargo, es entender por qué ocurre e intentar prevenirlo. Aunque en un catamarán reducirás considerablemente el sufrimiento del mareo, ¿qué es lo que mejor funciona si se produce? Descúbralo en nuestra guía - Cómo hacer frente al mar eo .

Un catamarán ofrece más espacio que cualquier otro barco de eslora similar. Con amplios salones , muchas zonas para sentarse y tumbarse , y amplios lugares para tomar el sol (como la red conocida como trampolín ), nunca se sentirá apretado. Los camarotes son espaciosos y los cuartos de baño son tan grandes como los de muchos apartamentos. Las personas a las que no les gustan los espacios reducidos o valoran su intimidad encontrarán un catamarán ideal. En los modelos más grandes (de más de 15 metros), dispondrá de tanto espacio que le costará encontrar al otro. A pesar de su eslora comparable, un catamarán siempre parece más grande que su homólogo monocasco. Si está acostumbrado a un velero de 50 pies, pruebe con un catamarán de 45 pies y seguirá teniendo la sensación de disponer de más espacio.

3. Comodidades comparables a las de una habitación de hotel

Los camarotes no sólo son espaciosos, sino también cómodos y acogedores. Suelen venir equipados con ropa de cama de alta calidad, almohadas, estanterías, lámparas de lectura y mucho más, lo que hace que se sientan como en una habitación propiamente dicha. Por eso escribimos un artículo en el que destacábamos 9 razones por las que unas vacaciones en velero son mejores que alojarse en un hotel, y esto es doblemente cierto con un catamarán.

4. Extras añadidos

Los catamaranes suelen venir equipados con las últimas tecnologías y artilugios. Entre ellos, paneles solares, generador, desalinizador de agua de mar, un moderno plotter con GPS y piloto automático . Todo ello le hará más autosuficiente en el mar, sin necesidad de recurrir tan a menudo a las instalaciones de un puerto deportivo.

5. Calado poco profundo

La razón por la que los catamaranes son tan populares entre los navegantes, sobre todo en países exóticos , es su escaso calado -de 0,9 a 1,5 metros, según la eslora de la embarcación-, que permite a los patrones no tener que preocuparse tanto por golpear el fondo marino. Aunque la precaución y el seguimiento de las cartas siguen siendo necesarios, proporciona una mayor libertad a la hora de elegir los lugares de fondeo, permitiendo navegar casi hasta la playa y fondear para disfrutar de la paz y la tranquilidad.

Sólo los pequeños pesqueros pueden acercarse tanto a la orilla como los catamaranes.

Catamarán vs. velero: principales diferencias.

Las preferencias de los navegantes varían: algunos prefieren los barcos monocasco y otros los catamaranes. De hecho, cuál es el mejor ha sido un tema candente desde los comienzos de la navegación. Por eso es esencial conocer las ventajas e inconvenientes de cada diseño de casco para poder elegir.

1. Precio del alquiler

Uno de los principales inconvenientes de los catamaranes es su mayor coste en el mercado de alquiler. Los veleros monocasco pueden alquilarse por 1.000-2.500 euros a la semana, mientras que un catamarán en buen estado suele costar a partir de 3.000 euros semanales. Sin embargo, esto puede no ser así para todos los modelos.

CONSEJO YACHTING.COM: Si quiere ahorrar dinero en su alquiler de catamarán, le recomendamos que lo reserve con antelación. Echa un vistazo a nuestras 8 razones por las que las ofertas Early Bird son la mejor manera de alquilar un barco .

2. Capacidad

El mayor coste del alquiler de catamaranes se compensa con el espacio, la comodidad y la capacidad adicionales: a menudo pueden albergar cómodamente hasta 12 invitados . Esto se traduce en un coste por persona comparable al de los veleros y más barato que el de los hoteles costeros, lo que los hace populares para cruceros por islas y fiestas en barco. Sin embargo, para disfrutar de una fiesta segura y responsable, le recomendamos que consulte nuestra guía - Cómo disfrutar de una fiesta en un barco: 10 consejos para mantener a salvo a su tripulación y su embarcación .

CONSEJO YACHTING.COM: No supere nunca la capacidad máxima de la embarcación. Y recuerda que incluso los niños pequeños cuentan como miembros de la tripulación.

Una tripulación numerosa puede navegar cómodamente en un catamarán

3. Tasas portuarias y derechos de puerto deportivo

Ten en cuenta que tener dos cascos significa un barco más ancho, lo que conlleva unas tasas de atraque más elevadas . Esta mayor anchura puede ocupar más espacio que dos veleros más pequeños. Sin embargo, el coste por persona puede verse compensado por el hecho de que caben más personas.

4. Velocidad frente a consumo

Los catamaranes suelen llevar dos motores de gran potencia , lo que los hace más rápidos que los veleros de tamaño similar. Incluso sin la fuerza del viento, pueden surcar las aguas volando y con una mayor eficiencia de combustible que las embarcaciones a motor.

Los catamaranes suelen tener dos velas básicas: la mayor y el trinquete, y su manejo sigue principios similares a los de los veleros monocasco. También pueden utilizarse foques autovirantes, que reducen el trabajo necesario para trimar y maniobrar las velas.

Para quienes deseen mejorar su experiencia de navegación, a menudo se puede alquilar un gennaker con el catamarán, lo que proporciona ventajas añadidas, especialmente en condiciones de poco viento. Eche un vistazo a nuestras 5 razones para alquilar un gennaker.

6. Flybridge

Esta cubierta elevada es una característica común en los catamaranes. En ella se encuentra el puesto de gobierno y, a veces, asientos o tumbonas adicionales. Se trata de un valioso añadido que proporciona espacio adicional para vivir en el barco.

La segunda cubierta del catamarán ofrece otro lugar para sentarse y disfrutar de las vistas del océano.

¿Para quién es adecuado el catamarán?

Los catamaranes son la opción preferida para un grupo de amigos que desean unas vacaciones relajadas en el agua, pero también son populares para eventos corporativos de formación de equipos y estancias especializadas como yoga. Como su espaciosa cubierta ofrece una zona de juegos segura para los niños , también son ideales para vacaciones en familia.

CONSEJO YACHTING.COM: Si navegas con niños pequeños, la seguridad es primordial. Por eso, consulta nuestras directrices para navegar con niños de forma segura , nuestro artículo sobre cómo sobrevivir en un barco con niños , el cuaderno de bitácora de Skipper mom: navegar con un bebé e intenta seguir siempre los 4 consejos esenciales para navegar sin problemas con niños . Si no tiene hijos o no quiere llevarlos, ¿por qué no se lleva a su amigo de cuatro patas? Los catamaranes ofrecen un amplio espacio para que los perros correteen, y seguir estos 7 consejos puede ayudar a convertir a tu mascota en un auténtico perro de mar.

Por otro lado, no sugeriríamos un catamarán a los navegantes deportivos para perseguir el viento, ya que los catamaranes de alquiler no están pensados para regatas o regatas. Debido a su diseño, tienen capacidades limitadas de ceñida (los veleros pueden navegar hasta 30° de ángulo de viento, mientras que los catamaranes de alquiler sólo pueden soportar hasta 50° o 60° de ángulo de viento), lo que los hace inadecuados para la navegación de competición.

CONSEJO YACHTING.COM: Si tiene dudas sobre su capacidad para manejar el barco con seguridad, considere la posibilidad de contratar a un patrón. Podemos organizarle un patrón que conozca bien la zona y pueda ocuparse de la navegación por usted o enseñarle cualquier técnica de navegación que le falte. Recuerde al planificar que el patrón ocupará un camarote o una litera en el salón.

Particularidades de la navegación en catamarán

Los principios de navegación de un catamarán son similares a los de un velero monocasco, pero hay algunas diferencias que deben tenerse en cuenta. Es posible que éstas ya se hayan tratado en su curso de formación de capitán.

Navegar con el motor

Un catamarán tiene dos motores , cada uno de los cuales puede controlarse por separado mediante su propio mando del acelerador. ¿Quieres girar sobre la marcha? Eso no es ningún problema con un catamarán: basta con acelerar con un motor y dar marcha atrás con el otro. Cuando le coja el truco, ya no necesitará una hélice de proa, aunque a veces los catamaranes están equipados con una. De este modo, atracar el catamarán será pan comido en comparación con los veleros monocasco.

Navegar a vela

La navegación a vela varía principalmente en función de los rumbos que se pueden navegar y de la intensidad de los vientos. La mayoría de los catamaranes de alquiler se desenvuelven mejor en rumbos de 50 a 60 grados con respecto al viento. Se trata de un ángulo mayor en comparación con los veleros. Así que prepárese para tener que ajustar su ruta prevista.

Si navega demasiado fuerte con un velero, el propio barco le indicará que ha sobrevirado escorándose. Un catamarán no lo hará, así que tendrás que estar muy atento a cuándo rizar las velas. Normalmente, el primer rizo se coloca a una velocidad de 18 a 20 nudos y el segundo a 23 o 25 nudos.

Los mejores destinos para navegar en catamarán

Además de los lugares más tradicionales de Croacia , Grecia , Italia , España y Turquía , alquilamos catamaranes en todo el mundo. En estos destinos, se aprecia mucho espacio , cómodo acceso al agua mediante escaleras, estabilidad sobre las olas y comodidades como barbacoa y aire acondicionado .

Sin embargo, los catamaranes son perfectamente adecuados para destinos más exóticos . En lugares remotos, el bajo calado resulta especialmente útil, ya que el fondo marino suele estar poco cartografiado y las playas son impresionantes. Los grandes depósitos de agua y gasóleo, junto con un generador de electricidad, un desalinizador para producir agua dulce a partir del agua de mar y paneles solares son especialmente útiles en lugares exóticos donde la infraestructura náutica está menos desarrollada. Estas características ayudan a los navegantes a ser autosuficientes y evitar la necesidad de encontrar un muelle cada pocos días.

Entre los destinos más populares para navegar en catamarán están las hermosas Seychelles , Tailandia , la Polinesia Francesa y el Caribe (Granada, Santa Lucía, Martinica, Antigua, San Martín, Cuba , Islas Vírgenes Británicas, Bahamas y Belice).

CONSEJO YACHTING.COM: ¡No tenga miedo de navegar a destinos más tropicales! Consulte nuestra guía de vacaciones exóticas en velero . Si se dirige a estos climas más cálidos, tendrá que averiguar cuándo empieza la temporada de lluvias o la de huracanes .

Las vistas en el Caribe son perfectas

Los catamaranes más populares

Las marcas más populares de catamaranes de alquiler son Lagoon , Bali , Fountaine Pajot , Nautitech y Leopard . Estos son los modelos que han recibido comentarios positivos de nuestros clientes durante años y que recomendamos con confianza.

El Lagoon 380 ofrece una auténtica experiencia de navegación, o el Lagoon 46 , más grande, en el que puede acabar pasando toda la mañana descansando en su espaciosa cabina.

El espacio del gato Bali ofrece asientos increíbles en el timón.

El Fountaine Pajot Elba 45, donde disfrutará relajándose en la proa sobre los asientos o el trampolín.

El Nautitech 46 con su enorme salón.

El Leopard 45, con su magnífico interior luminoso, o el Leopard 50 , tan lujoso que se sentirá como un rey.

CONSEJO YACHTING.COM: Para los navegantes más exigentes, los grandes catamaranes Lagoon 620 y Dream 60 son también dignos de mención. Sin embargo, es importante tener en cuenta que la mayoría de las licencias de capitán no son válidas para estos gigantes y tendrás que contratar a un patrón profesional.

Tipos especiales de catamaranes

Los catamaranes existen desde hace mucho tiempo, lo que ha llevado a los astilleros a innovar continuamente y a crear nuevos modelos con prestaciones y características únicas. ¿Cuáles son algunos de ellos?

Catamarán a motor

La popularidad de los catamaranes a motor ha ido en aumento últimamente debido a que proporcionan la estabilidad y amplitud de un catamarán sin necesidad de manejar velas.

¿Cree que más es siempre mejor? ¿No se conforma con dos cascos? Entonces tenemos una oportunidad única para que alquile un trimarán , un catamarán de tres cascos que ofrece una experiencia de navegación sin igual. Los trimaranes siguen siendo una rareza, así que seguro que llamará la atención allá donde vaya.
