Throughout this article we will tell you what they are like and what you can expect from them so that you can choose them with total and absolute peace of mind. Know the reasons that make it the ideal boat to celebrate a bachelor or bachelorette party, a birthday or any other type of party.

What is the origin of the catamaran?

Let’s start at the beginning!

The term catamaran comes from the Tamil kaṭṭumaram: kaṭṭu means bundle and maram means tree. Which in its literal meaning is: “united trunks”.

It was William Dampier, a British pirate, who first described a catamaran in 1697, when he saw it while sailing in the Bay of Bengal.

The boat had been built by the Paravas, a group of aristocratic fishermen from the southern coast of Tamil Nadu (India). However, the first to design a catamaran were the conquerors of the ancient Tamil Chola dynasty in the 5th century. They used it to transport their troops and conquer places such as Malaysia, Indonesia or Burma.

However, it took several centuries for it to become popular as a leisure and working boat. This is because it took a great deal of effort to break through the skepticism until it was accepted by sailors accustomed to more traditional designs.

What does a catamaran look like?

It is a type of boat that has two parallel hulls of equal size; these hulls are joined together by a skeleton. There are two models of catamarans: sailing and motor, but as a general rule they have two engines, one for each hull.


Renting a catamaran
 to celebrate a boat party in Malaga is a great option because, among other things, there is plenty of space on deck and therefore allows greater privacy for those who wish to live their party with more intimacy.

Another highlight is the great independence it offers. Having two hulls joined by the salon allows groups to party independently, some on the port side and others on the starboard side, for example.

On a catamaran you can walk, eat and drink, sit or lie in a hammock without any problems. This is because it has a great balance, something that provides a lower possibility of suffering dizziness.

Catamaran: synonymous with safety, stability, privacy and speed

Thanks to its great dynamism, it acts like a raft. It has such maneuverability that it is capable of making a 360º turn along its length. They are also perfect for anchoring in bays with shallow water, very close to the beach, which makes them the perfect choice for stag and hen parties.

More importantly, it is a type of boat that offers extremely high safety and reliability as it is virtually unsinkable.

Its stabilized geometry is due to its two keels. They are boats without ballast, which makes them light and comfortable. The contact with the water is less than that of a traditional sailboat, which reduces heeling and wave motion. When sailing, it even leaves a minor wake. So much so that this great stability makes them the most sought-after charter boats.

They rarely tilt and if they do, the maximum tilt they reach is 5º, an advantage compared to monohull sailboats that tilt up to 25º. This gives the party participants a chance to relax and drink in peace and quiet.
