Why I'm Concerned About 'Comfortable' Boats

Comfort sells boats. But does it actually make them better? When I started seriously looking at boats, I noticed something that didn’t sit right with me: Almost every modern boat is marketed around comfort first. Wide decks. Cushions everywhere. Spacious saloons. But very little talk about performance, capability, or what actually matters when you’re underway. In this video, I break down: - Why the boat industry pushes comfort so hard - The real tradeoff between comfort and performance - How most people evaluate boats at the dock, not at sea - Why “comfortable” doesn’t always mean “safe.” - And the one question every future liveaboard needs to ask themselves This isn’t a catamaran vs monohull debate. It’s a comfort vs capability conversation—and I’m not convinced comfort deserves to win by default. 👇 I want your take: Would you rather travel faster with less comfort… or slower with more comfort?
