Cruising Catamarans Scubadoggy Gulf Coast Boating

With the choices out there for Cruising Catamarans, I can see why the massive confusion :) I had some great interest in Catamarans, followed by the overwhelming statistics of stability, speeds of at least 20 knots, multiple manufacturers, Boats NOT for Rock and Roll but stability, Trawlers, Live A Boards, and more ...



I have posted some outstanding boating information with my favorite pick so far being the Pacific Expedition ...

I have a list of more Catamarans yet to plow through, more to see, travel in, and get everyone additional information about :)

Florida's Gulf Coast Catamarans

Checking out some of the catamaran craft in the waters of Florida's Gulf Coast, I noticed a few essentials in the turning tides of boaters.

First thing and contrary to popular belief ... size matters :)

It seems people are seeking a bit more in the way of comfort, convenience, and space in their choices of water craft and my thought would stretch farther than Florida's Gulf Coast into the far reaches of the globe :)

Somewhere between the Solar Navigator ...



to the crude but effective vessels of the islanders ...



There lies a happy medium ...

"A catamaran is a type of boat (or occasionally ship) consisting of two hulls joined by a frame. Catamarans can be sail or motor powered. The word catamaran comes from the Tamil language, in which the word kattumaram means "logs bound together". The catamaran was the invention of the paravas, an aristocratic fishing community in the southern coast of Tamilnadu, India. Catamarans were used by the ancient Tamil Chola dynasty as early as 5th century AD for moving their fleets to conquer such south-east Asian regions as Burma, Indonesia and Malaysia."

Scubadoggys Choice Pacific Expedition

My Ultimate Choice in Long Range Power Expedition Catamarans!

"An interior that feels like a weekend cottage

If "this is huge!" is the common reaction to the PE-45 interior, then "this is palatial!" will be the reaction to the new PE-55 power catamaran. A full 20' x14' saloon and galley rivals many home living rooms. Whether your plans include cocktail parties or quiet time alone, the PE-55's living accommodation will impress even the most experienced cruisers. If there is any downside at all, it is only that you will be the most popular yacht in the marina or anchorage.

The PE-55 layout continues to utilize our trademark center hallway design which leads directly forward to the full beam owner's stateroom. You will enjoy avoiding the cumbersome up and down steps associated with the classic raised pilot house designs. With this unique layout you will enjoy increased safety at sea as well as a high level of convenience that comes from keeping the main living daily areas all on the same level." READ MORE

Visiting around this summer (I had a blast!) A real couple of Blasts with these past few hurricanes roaming the Floridas Gulf Coast. We were stuck in Miami on our way to the Florida Keys. Held up in fact by one of this years storms. Another incident down around Floridas Gulf Coast by Tampa slowed us down too, but we still took the JetSki roaming on the lakes and the bays here and there. Took a trip to the Bahamas, The Florida Keys, Tampa Bay, JetSkied our way around the lakes between Georgia and Florida and are ready to traverse the looming October fests that abound this up and coming time of the year. But.... Back to Catamarans, Boating in General, Floridas Gulf Coast and (for this post anyway) Boat Trader Online Magazine.
