Power Catamarans, or "Power Cats" as they are often referred to, are one of the fastest growing segments in the marine industry. Sailing Catamarans have long been the preferred choice of sailors in the Caribbean because of the advantages of having two hulls and a wide beam. For a family enjoying a catamaran experience though, sailing becomes more of a hassle for some. For this reason, many of the yacht charter destinations now offer just as many power cats as sailing cats in their selection. This progression of how the catamarans are used spurred many of the catamaran manufacturers to start producing more power cats.

When we hear someone has the bug for a power catamaran, it’s a gleaming opportunity for us to elaborate on their wonderful advantages. Different from the benefits of sailing, of course, there’s lots to entice a buyer with from expanded living areas, stability, storage capabilities, and fuel efficiency.

Far from being known as a new trend, the catamaran design has been around since 5th Century India. Sailing catamarans have been a popular choice for cruisers for years, but adding full power to it has really become popular in the last decade.

Below are some of the most well-known power catamaran brands on the market today:

• Aquila Boats
• Endeavour Catamarans
• Fountaine Pajot
• Horizon Power Catamarans
• Leopard Power Catamarans

Here are some frequently asked questions regarding buying a power catamaran

What is a power catamaran?

Power catamarans are simply defined as a multi-hull power boats. Power Catamarans have become increasingly popular in recent decades among recreational boaters for their stability, maneuverability, and roomy, comfortable ride. Although sailing catamarans have been on the seas for centuries, perhaps millennia, recreational power catamarans got their start in the 1970s.

Who invented the catamaran boat?

Catamarans originated with Polynesian people who built catamarans and outrigger canoes to travel to distant islands of the Pacific and Indian Oceans and by fishermen in Tamil Nardu, India for their stability in various sea conditions. Western development of a catamaran vessel began in the mid 1600s, to allow faster sailing in shallower waters and lighter wind, but didn’t meet with commercial success, and it wasn’t until the 1800s that further development led to the filing of a US Patent. Power catamarans were developed in the early 20th century as submarine salvage vessels and high-speed military transport vessels. The more recent development of the recreational power catamaran combined the best features of a motor yacht - luxurious living and deck area with the stability, speed, and efficiencies of a catamaran. One of the most popular examples is the 43ft Lagoon.

What are some types of catamarans?

Power or Sailing, Trimaran, Fishing (World Cat, Invincible, Barker, Calcutta, Insetta, and the custom Renaissance Prowler are among today’s best, offering stability, improved ride in rough seas, and an open deck layout), Cruising, Passenger (Ferries), Commercial/Industrial, Military, Security & Tactical Support, TrawlerCats, and Long-Range Luxury Catamaran Yachts are some of the catamarans on the water today.

What is the difference between conventional, wave-piercing, and SWATH catamaran hulls?

Traditional catamaran hulls are more banana-shaped, designed to ride on top of waves, with the geometry of the vessel creating stability, whereas the wave-piercing hulls extend forward and are reversed—longer at bottom than top/bow and sharper, allowing them to slice through waves for greater speed and less pitching, due to their lower buoyancy. More racing catamarans are built with wave-piercing hull technologies for speed advantages. Cruising catamarans in the superyacht category are utilizing wave-piercing hulls for the smoothness and performance advantages. Large passenger ferries and military catamaran ships utilize this type of hull for its speed and smooth ride through waves; the bridge deck may be configured like a regular v-hull, allowing it to penetrate wave crests. The SWATH (small water-plane area twin hull) catamarans employ tubular, submarine-like hulls that are completely submerged and connected by pylons to the bridge deck using a small cross section at the waterline. This type of hull was invented in the mid-1930s and is used for large research vessels and military craft for running in heavy seas as displacement volume is completely below waterline. This enables the ship to resist pitch and heaving, as there is no possibility of hull planing. Today’s builders of cruising power catamarans utilize the best hull technologies for increased efficiencies and safety.

Is a pontoon boat a type of catamaran?

Depending on boat size, pontoon boats ride on 2 or 3 aluminum flotation tubes called pontoons, that support and are covered by the open deck, and are not accessible from the deck; they serve to float the boat. A railing with fence paneling or seating upholstery runs along the deck perimeter, and they are typically outfitted for lounging and entertaining (nicknamed “party barges”), though many today are luxurious, and as speedy as runabouts and used for watersports. There are two types of pontoons: recreational and houseboats. Catamarans differ greatly in that the main deck rests on 2 or 3 (trimaran) hulls that are accessible living and/or storage space, and catamarans can be built with a flybridge deck. The catamaran hull is built for cruising/running offshore and inshore waterways, whereas the pontoon boats are open deck boats primarily designed for lakes, bays, rivers that are quieter waters. Catamarans tend to be wider and larger than pontoon boats, but each is a distinct category with its own purpose and market. Pontoons tend to serve the entry-level family recreational market. Both have seen an increase in popularity in the recreational boating industry.

Are power catamarans better than monohull powerboats?

Catamarans offer more deck and interior space per foot than monohulls, meaning a 40ft powercat can have as much space (in and out) as a 50ft monohull powerboat. Even a smaller powercat can have easily accessed 3-4 cabins with opening ports in hull windows for ventilation and light, plus the greater privacy of separate hull space, an ideal feature for charters. Inherently, the wide-apart hull configuration provides a more stable platform while underway or to stay level at anchor, unlike a monohull that can roll. Having twin engines and propellers set wide apart allows catamarans greater maneuverability and a shallower draft for island cruising—some catamarans can be beached! Having two hulls creates inherent redundancy with engines, props, water pumps, and extra space for additional equipment like generators, watermakers, and more. Catamarans with wave-piercing hulls have even greater efficiencies.

( Seen below: The living areas on a catamaran offer great space inside and out. )

Of course, there are some disadvantages, as with any category of vessel. One drawback is the cost to store and maintain a catamaran is higher, as marina dockage isn’t always accommodating of the catamaran’s greater beam and with two hulls/engines, maintenance and detailing costs may double. Haul-out costs are higher as well. The preference of one type of boat over another is completely personal; which best meets your priorities and usage plans? Do a cost benefit analysis—does the boat’s features and benefits outweigh any drawbacks?

What are the most popular current brands of cruising power catamarans?

Current brands to consider are Lagoon, Leopard (Robertson & Caine), Fountaine-Pajot, Sunreef, Nautitech, Horizon, Aquila, Makai, Bali Catspace MY, Hudson Powercat, Aspen Power Catamarans, Horizon, Endeavour TrawlerCat, Heliotrope 48, and the Leen 56 (a new trimaran long range cruiser and liveaboard). PDQ is no longer in production, but still popular, especially for cruising the eastern Great Loop. Common to all are the alfresco relaxation deck areas that seamlessly blend with interior deck area. There are also many one-of-a-kind custom power catamarans.

What does a 43-45 ft power catamaran cost?

Pre-owned 43-45ft power catamarans from 2010 to 2019 ranged in price from $398,000 to $1,075,000 for a median of $736,500. The main brands were Leopard, Fountaine Pajot, Aquila, and Lagoon. From 2000 to 2009, the price ranged from $202,000 to $528,000 for a median of $365,000. Main brands were Leopard, Fountaine Pajot, and Lagoon. Of course, there are other costs to consider, such as marina dockage, service and maintenance including haul-outs, and insurance, to mention a few.

What are the best power catamarans for offshore cruising?

According to the Oct 2020 issue of Passagemaker magazine, the Nautitech 47 power catamaran features load-carrying semi-displacement hulls give the Nautitech 47 a distinct performance advantage for bluewater (ocean) cruising. Other recommended models are the new Leen 56 trimaran long range cruiser designed for Transatlantic voyages. The main diesel engine is in the center hull and electric drives are in the two outer hulls (called amas). The Leopard 53 Powercat can be run from the lower helm with excellent visibility in air-conditioned comfort and features 6’8” and 6’10” headroom! Bali Catspace Motor Yacht (Catana Group) is nearly 39ft of luxurious outside/inside living space. Utilizing the latest innovations, the shape of her hulls and integral deck gives this power catamaran excellent seakeeping qualities. The 60 Sunreef Power is a versatile, modern motoryacht in Sunreef Yachts’ sporty Power line-up of catamarans in 60, 70, 80, and 100ft lengths. These are just a few examples. Fountaine-Pajot has been building catamarans since 1976; latest models are as luxurious and seaworthy as any world-class power motoryacht, with catamaran advantages.

Lagoon, Fountaine-Pajot, Sunreef, Leopard, Horizon, and other power catamarans are extremely popular for island charter cruises as they offer the power catamaran advantages of stability, speed, efficiency, spaciousness (wide beam interiors, private staterooms below deck), and relaxation with lots of deck space and 360-degree panoramic views! With their shallower draft, the swift powercats are great for island hopping in the Bahamas or BVI, and elsewhere in the world with beautiful archipelagos, reefs, and pretty islands to explore!

Catamarans are incredible boats, and making one solar-powered really makes my little engineering brain go wild. In this article, I discuss some of the coolest solar-powered catamarans out there!

Here are three of the best solar-powered catamarans:

• Sunreef’s 80 Sunreef Power Eco Yacht
• Silent Yachts’ Silent 80
• Soel’s Senses 48

There are soo many variables that it’s tough to say one is better than the others. No matter which you board, you’re going to have a luxury experience. The benefit of these solar cats is that the experience can be had while maintaining a sustainable lifestyle and contributing to the betterment of the environment.

The diesel engine is dead, Long live electric power. Sort of…

Solar Catamarans: Luxury Yachts

Before we look at each of these, let’s take a few paragraphs to talk about catamarans in general. First of all, when many people think of cats, they think of a relatively small craft barrelling across the water, one of its hulls in the air with a swashbuckling daredevil hanging off the side of it high above the water.

That’s not the kind of catamaran we’re talking about here. We are, instead, looking at yachts or cruising catamarans. These share one commonality with the other type of cat, and that’s the twin hulls. But that’s it. Cruising cats are slower, more stately boats. Also, on one of those little, quick ones, there’s not room for much of anything, and you won’t likely be doing any cooking or sleeping on it.

We’re also looking solely at solar-powered catamarans here, and although they have much in common with their diesel-drinking brethren, there are some key differences, which we’ll also address.

Perhaps the main difference (and one of the most significant selling points for a solar-powered catamaran) is the noise level. Gabo

Anyone who’s been on any boat with a combustion engine (diesel or petrol) on board has had to deal with the noise and smell.

But the drone (or roar, depending on the engine’s size and location) can be far from relaxing, which is one of the main reasons to get on a boat, off the mainland, and out to sea. Even if you’re marlin fishing—not the most peaceful undertaking man has ever attempted—you’re still out on the water and hope for some peace and quiet.

Eliminating that engine noise is a pretty big deal.

How Solar Catamarans Work

The biggest key to the success of the solar-powered yacht is not the solar panels – although those are great, as they look terrific and are well integrated into the ships. But the unsung hero here is the battery system.

Solar energy companies continue to perfect their industry. By making their solar batteries denser and denser, they create batteries that can store more solar power for more extended periods in smaller spaces.

And that brings us to an aspect you probably haven’t thought of:

Solar-powered yachts have more interior room because the battery system takes up less space than a conventional engine would.

Space customarily used by an engine room gets freed up for other uses.

Since most solar catamarans are nearly infinitely customizable, it’s hard to say what you might use that extra space for, but it’s available because of the solar power system.

The yachts have solar cells in all sorts of places, most notably on the roofs of the boats, but some companies build them in over large swaths of the hull, so they look as much like a design choice as a power source.

3 Best Solar-Powered Catamarans

Let’s be honest—if you’re dropping more than a couple of million dollars on a boat, two things are likely true: you have a lot of money, and you like nice things. All of the yachts listed here are lovely things, so it’s going to be hard to go wrong. 

As a result (and since these aren’t exactly accessible for test drives), it’s difficult to say which one of these is actually the best ; ergo, this list is in no particular order. They’re all glorious specimens.

Incidentally, where the price is listed, that number is an extremely general estimate. As these vessels are all entirely customizable and each choice below is available in different lengths and configurations, the cost can vary wildly.

To better understand what is a good price of a solar-powered cat, they should be compared to performance cruising catamarans or larger catamarans for families .

80 Sunreef Power Eco Yacht

This may be the most remarkable boat you’ll see for a long time. Sunreef has been in the yacht-building business since the turn of the millennium, winning awards along the way, and in the last few years, the company began work on its Eco line.

While there are shorter (and one longer) versions of this ship, the 80-footer (24.38 m) is pretty iconic. It offers electric motors to push it over the water and to do so with little noise, vibrations, and zero smell of fuel or exhaust.

As mentioned earlier, this is the yacht with solar cells pretty much all over it. They dot the sides of the hull and add to the overall look of the ship. With these cells and the panels on the roof, this yacht carries 200 square meters (2152 sq ft) of solar cells generating up to 40kWp (that’s 40 kilowatts peak, meaning under the best conditions, like on a bright, sunny day). Sunreef makes cats that run under sail, as well.

• Unlimited cruising
• No emissions
• Silent running
• Solar panels on the sides of the boat may not appeal to everyone
• Price: $8 million USD and up (new)

Silent Yachts has several versions of each of its catamarans. This eighty-footer (24m) is available in a loft or a classic version, but you get large spaces and incredible luxury no matter what you choose. The bathrooms alone on these things are pretty enough to live in.

Like Sunreef, Silent Yachts offers various lengths of these yachts, but they refer to the 80 as their flagship, and with good reason. Also with good reason, this yacht has been called “the Tesla of the seas.”

Three power options exist, each allowing higher maximum speeds for longer periods on the water than the last, but all three offer cruising speeds of up to 8 knots.

Its rooftop solar panels generate 26kWp of power . While that’s a significant step down from the comparable Sunreef vessel, the company claims unlimited range. Theoretically, it makes sense—solar power is even easier to come by on the open sea than on land, and with an endless supply, you ought to be able to cruise forever (as long as the sun shines).

All that power gets stored in batteries, and when it’s time to use it, the boat does so silently through its electric motors, on which Silent Yachts gives a lifetime warranty. While that warranty wouldn’t give you much peace of mind if you were on the float hoping for rescue, once you got it back home, whatever the problem was would get fixed, and you’d be ready to go out again.

Like any electric motor propulsion system, the Silent 80’s requires almost zero maintenance. Compare that to the ongoing work you do on your big, loud, smelly diesel engine. Not having to change the oil alone seems worth the investment.

• Recommended maintenance schedule happens after the end of most yachts’ lifespans, meaning you may not ever have to do any maintenance at all on this one.
• Kite available for additional propulsion (up to ten times more efficient than a sail)
• Its five-and-a-half-foot draft is pretty deep.
• Smaller kWp capacity than comparable makes.
• Price: $4.6 million and up (new).

Soel Senses 48

This is a smaller yacht (a little more than half the size) than the first two. However, Soel has built a beautiful boat that is entirely sustainably powered. The 12 solar panels on the roof generate 2.7 kWp of electricity stored in two batteries that can be configured to hold up to 142 kWh of stored solar power.

This, like the others, makes for a boat that glides over the water without rattles, without fumes, without noise. Unlike the others, its cruising speed tops out at 10 knots —faster due to its smaller size. Its top speed runs at 18 knots, but with significantly less kWp on board, the ship won’t run at that top speed for extended periods.

The company lists the ship’s range at between 30 and 56 nautical miles (55 – 103 km) , and the fluctuation will come from various options and choices available in operational modes.

• The boat’s 2.3-foot (70.10 cm) draft is shallower than the larger boats here.
• Orders of magnitude more affordable.
• This is a smaller boat and won’t comfortably sleep much more than 10.
• Limited range means this is a weekend cruiser, not a circumnavigator.
• Price: $600,000 and up (new).

Other Choices

These next couple of catamarans are newer and smaller, but they bear mentioning for various reasons, which we’ll be sure to point out with each one. Again, at a certain point, a yacht is a yacht, and if you can fit your friends and family on it for a fun trip, everything else is just gravy.

Smaller than Silent Yacht’s Silent 80, this one is a product not only of Silent Yacht but one made in conjunction with Volkwagen and Cupra, a Spanish car company.

Volkswagen has become a significant player in the electric motor game, so the company brings its Modular Electric Drive (MED) to this vessel, allowing for an even more efficient electric propulsion system than the one on the Silent 80. 

Cupra’s presence in the project seems to be solely on the design side of things. The Silent 50 is a vessel built with an eye toward a world in which water travel creates zero greenhouse gas emissions.

Aquanima 40

Azura Marine , based in Singapore, recently announced a solar-powered yacht whose biggest feature may have been its six-figure cost. According to Azura Marine, the ship can cruise indefinitely with a 10 kW solar power system and a 60 kWh battery pack. That is a smaller battery pack than the others, but it’s also a smaller craft.

This cat is a terrific combination of price and features.

Choosing the Best Solar Catamaran for You

This will be a personal choice and one you’ll want to do a lot of research on (which is presumably why you landed on this page in the first place). Since solar-powered catamarans sell for sums of money with at least seven digits in them, this will not be an impulse purchase for very many people.

Any of the choices listed here will be well-built, beautiful, luxurious places to lay your head or sip your mimosas while you’re on the water. It may come down to aesthetics, range, or speed, but all of these models offer incredible specimens that everyone—landlubber or old salt—will treasure.

The luxury yacht world is an exclusive one, but it doesn’t have to be wasteful or ecologically irresponsible. The yachts listed here are some of the best in the world in terms of combining luxury with solar power and providing emissions-free yachting that’s quiet and relaxing.

New yachts can be purchased from the manufacturers, allowing for customization, and various online yacht brokers are willing to help you find a pre-owned craft that’s right for you.

Finding the right yacht for you will depend on your wants and needs, but we can all agree that environmentally sound, sustainable power on these vessels is valuable.
