Power Catamarans for Sale

Power Catamarans for Sale

Power catamarans are larger vessels built for time-honored activities on the water, prized for their generous draft and exceptionally wide beam. These characteristics make them especially well-suited for both overnight and day cruising, offering a stability and interior volume that traditional monohulls often can't match.

On average, power catamarans listed for sale accommodate 12 passengers, with the largest vessels capable of hosting up to 153 guests and crew. Engine power varies just as widely: smaller, more affordable models may run as low as 69 horsepower, while the most powerful vessels can be equipped with engines reaching an impressive 3,614 horsepower. The typical power catamaran on the market today is outfitted with around 640 HP.

How are power catamarans built?

Power catamarans get their signature performance from their twin-hull design, which slices through waves with far less drag than a traditional single-hull boat, translating into better fuel economy and a smoother ride. Many modern models take this further with stepped hulls and vented hull technology, refinements that reduce resistance even more. Power catamarans span an impressive range of sizes, from compact 19-foot boats to massive 100+ foot yachts.

What kind of engines power a power catamaran?

Smaller power catamarans typically run on outboard motors mounted on the transom. Setups vary widely, anywhere from a single 100 HP outboard to twin, triple, or even quad configurations, capable of delivering strong cruising speeds and impressive top-end performance. As boats get larger, they often shift to inboard engines, and some high-end models use jet propulsion instead.

What optional equipment can you add to a power catamaran?

There's no shortage of ways to customize a power catamaran. Anglers can outfit their boat with fish finders, rod holders, outriggers, radar, and navigation electronics. For comfort, options include premium sound systems, a galley, a head, upholstery upgrades, and onboard appliances. Step up to a larger, luxury power catamaran and you'll find private staterooms, full marine bathrooms, high-end upholstery, and resort-style entertainment features like hot tubs, TVs, and premium stereo systems.

Power catamaran pricing spans a wide range, largely driven by size, age, engine power, and level of customization. Smaller, entry-level models with modest horsepower tend to sit at the lower end of the market, while larger vessels with luxury amenities, custom builds, or higher horsepower engines command significantly higher prices. Pre-owned and custom yachts often offer more value relative to size, while newly built models typically carry a premium for updated technology, warranties, and the latest hull designs
