Written by Eva Belanyiova

2019 has been a great year for life on the sea, and there have been a number of exceptional launches for luxury catamarans available for charter. While this type of vessel has always been popular for holidays in the Mediterranean and Caribbean due to its shallow draft for close beach access, it is seeing a resurgence as modern technology makes these vessels more efficient and stable than ever.

Sailing catamarans have always harnessed the power of the winds for more environmentally friendly travel between destinations, while more and more motor yachts are taking on these benefits using solar technology or hybrid engines. Sailing yachts are also taking on more benefits, particularly when it comes to having a Jacuzzi on board and an extensive supply of water toys.

Accommodation tends to be more spacious and placed higher above the waterline, providing greater views and natural light when guests want to rest in privacy in comfortable surroundings.
