<p>Catamaran boats falls under the multihull boat category. This is a vessel with two hulls, connected through a platform that creates one catamaran yacht. Check out all multihull boat specifications on this website and learn more about them. Catamaran sailboats can be used for world cruising, fishing, chartering or day-sailing. These vessels can have only engines as propulsion means, instead of sails, in which case they are known as powered catamarans and are quite popular thanks to their stability and maneuverability.
