To help you choose the right yacht for your holiday we made a list of advantages of catamarans compared to monohulls.
Advantages of catamarans
The small draft of a catamaran allows you to anchor in shallow bays or very close to the beach, which leads to more privacy and more options to drop anchor.
Minimum heeling and more stability can help to avoid seasickness, see my page on how to prevent seasickness.
A catamaran has about the volume of a 10′ longer monohull i.e. a 42′ catamaran has about the space of a 52′ monohull. So, more room on deck and inside with wrap around windows. The right party boat but especially the elderly will benefit of the stable and spacious deck with no steps between inside and outside.
The autopilot steers very well, because the hulls as well as the two rudders give good tracking.
Somewhat faster as long as you are not overloaded, not sailing close hauled, and when sailing with enough wind.
More privacy, since the sleeping accommodations, heads and showers are totally separate, located in each hull and in opposite corners.
Handy storage of the dinghy pulled into the davits aft between the hulls.
