The best production blue water cruising catamarans are the Manta 42, the Lagoon 42, the Leopard 45, the Lagoon 450, and the Prout 45. These vessels have excellent living accommodations and great sea keeping abilities. In this article, we’ll cover five of the best liveaboard cruising catamarans, along with what sets them apart from similar vessels. Additionally, we’ll go over what to look for in a catamaran that functions both as a home and an offshore adventure cruiser. We sourced the specifications listed in this article directly from boat design guides and the manufacturers themselves. Table of contents Characteristics of Liveaboard Cruising CatamaransGenerally speaking, blue water catamarans that are suitable for offshore cruising and living aboard are between 40 and 50 feet in length. Some well-designed catamarans between 25 and 39 feet in length can also be used. A good liveaboard cruising catamaran should have adequate berthing and galley facilities, along with an enclosed cockpit. Catamarans without enclosed cockpits, especially smaller vessels, aren’t spacious enough in the hull to accommodate good liveaboard facilities. As far as cruising is concerned, the best Bluewater catamarans are designed for durability and seaworthiness. A vessel’s sea keeping abilities rely on more than just smoothness and speed. These vessels should be water-tight in key locations, positively buoyant, and equipped with all the right extras. Factors that Increase Catamaran SeaworthinessThere are several additions that manufacturers commonly include with sea-going blue water catamarans. These include water-tight hatches, radar units, a backup generator, and a berth close to the cockpit. The latter is particularly important, as the captain and crew need to be able to grab the controls in the event of a nighttime emergency. Other add-ons, such as automatic winches and controls, are extremely beneficial to blue water catamarans. These devices allow the sails to be controlled remotely without the crew needing to walk on deck. Cruising Catamaran vs. Bluewater CatamaranFundamentally, cruising catamarans and ‘blue water’ catamarans are one and the same. When companies classify a catamaran as a ‘cruising’ catamaran, they usually do so because of a few notable design features. These include cruising accommodations such as large-capacity water tanks, large fuel tanks, onboard power supplies (like a generator and a battery bank; sometimes solar panels), and long-distance communication systems. Radar is another perk, and it’s available on most cruising catamarans. Best sea-going Liveaboard CatamaransWe searched the market, researched specifications, and listened to the owner’s opinions to find the best sea-going catamarans on the market. These vessels are also spacious and comfortable enough to live aboard, both at sea on extended voyages and in a marina. Here are our top picks. 1. Manta 42The Manta 42 is a well-known and popular cruising catamaran with a reputation for seaworthiness and exceptional comfort for its size. This vessel, while on the smaller end for cruising catamarans, is quite seaworthy and handles well in all conditions. The Manta 42 is powerful—it has a large sail area for its size, which gives it incredible speed in both low and high wind conditions. The Manta 42 has an unconventional design feature that makes it stronger than the competition—and technically, more seaworthy than many larger and fancier catamarans. The feature we’re referring to is the Manta 42’s fixed crossbeam, which is stronger than typical designs. The Manta 42’s interior is really well-designed and ideal for living aboard. The hulls feature large berthing areas, and the center cockpit area features a full-size marine galley and sitting areas. This vessel is popular with families, as there’s plenty of room for parents and one or two kids. 2. Lagoon 42Here’s another 42-foot cruising catamaran with exceptional seaworthiness, shallow draft, and spacious accommodations. The Lagoon 42 is a modern and advanced sailing catamaran with numerous cruising features, such as a self-tacking jib and a flybridge. This model has extensive sleeping capacity. Standard versions can sleep up to 12 adults, which is much more than many catamarans in the 40 to 45-foot range. The vessel also features four separate heads, which ensures privacy for guests and family members. This vessel is designed for comfort, and therefore it's a bit beefier than some slimmer and less spacious models. It’s a heavy boat with a 25-foot beam, and it has excellent sea keeping abilities. The primary drawback of the design is that its size and hull shape limits speed. But this isn’t as big of an issue on long voyages, and it’s still much faster than an equivalently-sized monohull. 3. Leopard 45This premium catamaran is a bit larger and more comfortable than the vessels we’ve discussed so far. It’s a luxury catamaran with everything you’d expect for the half-million-dollar price point. This vessel shines on the open water where it can let out its sails and stretch its legs. The vessel is lightning fast in the right conditions, and it has an astounding 700-gallon fuel capacity for when the wind isn’t blowing. You can sail it, motor it along, or do both at the same time for even greater speed. From the factory, the Leopard 45 sleeps around 12 adults at its maximum capacity or four couples in separate staterooms—each with its own bathroom and shower. The center cockpit is also quite spacious, and the vessel can be navigated from the flybridge above the central living area. 4. Lagoon 450Here’s another 45-foot catamaran that comes from one of the world’s most respected catamaran builders. Lagoon, which is currently producing several catamaran models, is known for its high-quality material choice and construction. The Lagoon 450 is a flybridge sailing catamaran. Its design is based on the best-selling Lagoon 440—a slightly smaller model that proved itself over years of use and countless miles sailed between owners. And though it’s only 45 feet long, this catamaran is massive both inside and out. The vessel is fast and nimble, and it has excellent sea keeping qualities. Below decks, the surprisingly wide hulls have room for full-size staterooms both fore and aft. But what the Lagoon 450 is known for is its deck space. There’s a ton of room on the decks for hanging out, living activities, and entertaining guests. The center cockpit of the Lagoon 450 is like something out of a luxury condo. The styling is impetuous and airy, and there’s more than enough room to prepare a full meal for ten people or more. The settee can double as a sea cabin, with more than enough room for a small crew. 5. Prout 45Here’s a sleek and fast catamaran that’s a superior choice for cruising and living aboard. The Prout 45 debuted in the 1990s and was a huge success. Impressively, over 2,000 individual Prout 45 cruising cats were eventually produced. That’s a lot for a production catamaran—especially a large 45-foot model with a hefty price tag. This sea-going catamaran has unconventional features, including pointed monohull-like bows and a nearly flush cockpit. The interior arrangement of the vessel is unconventional as well, but many owners eventually learn to prefer it. For example, oddities include a galley in one of the hulls instead of the center, where catamarans often keep such facilities. This is a fast cruising catamaran with a very shallow draft. Three feet six inches of draft, to be precise. This means that the Prout 45 is ideal for sailing in shallow locations, such as around tropical coral reefs and in areas known for sandbars. The draft of this vessel is much closer in depth to that of a 20 to 25-foot displacement monohull than to a full-size 45-foot catamaran.

Exactly where in the south pacific will be dictated by the boat we pick. So we are a young(ish) couple (28 and 29) looking to go exploring for a couple of years. We want a boat with a shallow draft to explore shallow lagoons, and something that can dry out or be beached. We want a simple boat that is easy to sail and seaworthy. Just to make things difficult we want to be able to put in inside a 40 ft shipping container so that we can post it places if we don't fancy the ocean crossing (and we probably wont). Taking a few days or a couple of weeks to take it apart and put it back together isnt an issue, we will probably only ship it 3 times (UK to USA, USA to french polynesian, Oz to UK). Or we might sell it in OZ. We are after something that has a moderate level of comfort which for us is a permanent double bed, a permanent galley with 2 gas hobs and an oven, toliet that is not a bucket (girlfriends requirement), and ideally a fridge. Headroom in the galley should be 1.60 m if possible. Sitting headroom elsewhere is okay. Shade , of some form, for the helmsman is required (i'm British and ginger) There is a similar thread running about catamarans. I started this one in response to that thread. ![best liveaboard trimaran Corley](https://www.boatdesign.net/data/avatars/s/33/33857.jpg?1495924381) Corley epoxy coatedI think Kurt's demountable D30 design would go close to fitting your requirements.

His son has been approached about the plans many times but he has no interest. Normally the reasoning is to sell the plans is to supply support for the plans and he is into much bigger things now. I'm not speaking for the man just repeating what I read. This is not the only case where plans find their home in public domain. The B28 is just a streached B24 so I read. https://trimaranproject.blogspot.com/p/lock-crowther-bucaneer-28-trimaran-plans.html Why wouldn't Crowther still own the rights to the Buccaneer plans? EDIT: I just tried to find the Crowther website and couldn't. I thought his son took over. Did they shut down their multihull design business? magentawave said: ↑ Why wouldn't Crowther still own the rights to the Buccaneer plans? EDIT: I just tried to find the Crowther website and couldn't. I thought his son took over. Did they shut down their multihull design business? Click to expand... I have read that Crowther's son has been approached time and again concerning his fathers work and he does not respond. Normally, when owners do this they are washing their hands of supporting the plans they sell. The plans back when first produced were not copy righted either so when the author departs and heirs have no need then it basically becomes public domain. Another example is the carbondragon airplane. The authors passing left the plans in public domain because the heirs had no use for such and the plans are circulated. That is just an example that comes to mind. The mindset is preserving the hard work of the author. ![best liveaboard trimaran redreuben](https://www.boatdesign.net/styles/default/xenforo/avatars/avatar_male_s.png) redreuben redreubentooclose is correct. The design office wants nothing to do with Locks work, rumour has it the plans were all locked away for some "legal" reason but I can't clarify that. The plans that have come to light from private sources have been circulated online for some years now with no consequence. Oh, and the 28 is not a stretched 24, completely different build method. I'm interested in the difference between the 24 and 28 build methods. Do you have any more info? The link for the plans on the blog has been visited more than 2000 times since it was posted. I'm not sure how many individual downloads that equates too but I'm yet to hear of a Bucc 28 being built from scratch using them, would love to hear if someone has started one. Bucc builds Essentially the 28 is built with frames and stringers on a strong back. The 24 has the stringers fixed to the skins then wrapped around the frames no strong back. See the relevant threads. Sorry Op for the distraction. both my monitor and printer would not render the fine details very well unless I expanded the image to the largest size. However, I took the plans to the print shop and they printed very nice at about 11x14, very legible. tooclose said: ↑ I have read that Crowther's son has been approached time and again concerning his fathers work and he does not respond.
