For all boats with speed settings the speed depends on the size of the motor. Diesel or petrol consumption depends on the size of the motor and the speed you are sailing with and therefore the cost will also depend on how you sail, but the motorboat of for those who wish to get from on destination to another fast.

Catamaran

Catamarans are known for their fast speed, but life aboard is still pleasant and its stability and overcome even the worst seasickness.

Another advantage about the Catamaran is that most of the cabins are over sea level, which makes it easier to hold the temperature down and at the same time enjoy the day light shining through the windows and the Catamaran is therefore perfect for those of you, who have focus on comfort and space.

But, due to the Catamaran’s vide of five meters, there are few marinas, which have space for it and if you find a space for it, the price is often quite high, and this should be taken into account, if you decide to rent a Catamaran.
