Catamaran vs Monohull: The Cost Everyone Misses

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 19:00:56 +0000

Most people compare catamarans and monohulls by one number.
That’s the mistake.

This video isn’t about sticker price. It’s about the costs that show up after you buy the boat. Quietly. Gradually. Often, without you noticing.

Two boats can cost the same upfront and feel completely different to live on one year later. The difference has less to do with hull count and more to do with how the boat interacts with marinas, anchorages, maintenance, and daily life.

Dockage. Anchoring. Wear and tear. Comfort. Fuel. Lifestyle choices you won’t see in listings or quick comparisons.

If you’re deciding between a catamaran and a monohull, or you’ve started boat shopping and something about the “cats are expensive” argument doesn’t sit right, this will change how you think about cost.

Watch before you budget for the wrong thing.
