The catamarans were "invented" by an aristocratic fishing community on the southern coast of Tamil Nadu, India. However, in terms of recreational sailing, catamarans are a relatively recent trend. For now become a popular boat, this type of sailboat had to overcome strong skepticism by those more oriented to a traditional sailing sailors. However, there is not much difference between a catamaran and a mono hull except one that catamaran has more durability:

Mono hull vs. Catamaran

Catamaran rentals have become very popular because of several important features. Catamarans rentals are much safer than mono hulls. Practically, they cannot sink. Due to the dynamism that has all the boat acts as a kind of raft. Catamarans have great maneuverability, since most catamarans have two engines and are much easier to dock a monologue single engine. The modern catamaran can turn 360 degrees in its own length. Although mono hulls have certain advantages when anchoring in marinas, catamarans can anchor in shallow bays, often very close to a beach (a few meters deep).

When renting a catamaran, more space than is achieved ...
... with a normal sailing boat is obtained. After all, the cabins, rest areas and deck are divided into two helmets. In addition, more deck space and cabin catamaran is twice that of a mono hull. A larger space allows for more privacy.

The stability of the glider

Catamarans have also become a favorite holiday choice due to its high stability. Navigation is done from a level as catamarans rarely inclined. When they do, they do at most 5 degrees while sailing mono hulls usually make it to 25 degrees. Sure, the heel of 25 degrees can be exciting, but also very tiring. When sailing on a catamaran, you can walk, sit, eat and drink ... Whatever you want. However, the most important advantage of sailing with this balance, there is less chance of dizzy.

Deciding which boat charter depends on your wishes and preferences. The Catamaran is an excellent choice for those without much experience, for those who have never been on a boat or for those who feel somewhat insecure. The catamaran has two hulls, its advantage is that not much inclined, is very comfortable and spacious cabins, spacious lounge, and browse faster than a sailboat, because it has two engines. The modern catamarans are built so that they can easily access the dock in a bay or marina.

Catamarans are one of the important means of water transport yet there are other boats also available. Selection of boats depends on your wishes and preferences. The types of vessels are:

- Sailboat - excellent for both family holidays and for active holiday.

- Schooners - boats that use engine power and wind for your cruise, always rented with professional crew ( captain, sailor , chef, stewardess)
- Motor boat - for those who love to sail quickly.
But, before you select the boat of your choice, you must be taken into account:

- How many people are on board?
- How will be shared cabins for persons on board?
- How much space is needed and how much comfort?
- If you need professional skipper, if you hire a professional skipper, note that one of the sleeping spaces will be occupied by him (in the lounge or in a cabin)?
