Why choose a catamaran?
When you think of a perfect day at sea, you probably imagine calmness, comfort, good company, and spectacular scenery. However, not all boats offer the same experience. In Puerto Vallarta, where the ocean takes center stage, choosing the right type of boat makes all the difference.
At Float, with our fleet of four catamarans, we see every day how people who try a catamaran never want to go back to a monohull. This is no coincidence. Here’s why.
Superior stability: sail without uncomfortable rocking
One of the biggest concerns for those who are not used to the sea is the movement of the boat. The classic side-to-side rocking can ruin the experience before it even begins
A catamaran eliminates this issue, thanks to its two hulls, it remains firm and stable while sailing. This translates into an immediate feeling of control, safety, and confidence. You can walk around, sit, relax, and enjoy the journey without constantly thinking about the movement of the sea and worrying about keeping your balance.
Ideal for groups: everyone shares the same space
On a monohull, people often spread out across different levels: some upstairs, some downstairs, some at the bow. On a catamaran, everything flows on a single level.
This encourages togetherness. Conversations flow, laughter is shared, and the group stays connected throughout the entire experience.
That’s why catamarans are ideal for:
- Birthdays
- Anniversaries
- Bachelor or bachelorette parties
- Family gatherings
- Small weddings
- or simply a perfect day at sea.
Greater safety for children and seniors
Safety is something you feel, not just something that is promised.
Thanks to its stability and design, a catamaran is a much safer option for children, seniors, and people with limited mobility. Walking onboard is easy, spaces are wide, and balance is maintained even while sailing.
This brings peace of mind to everyone, especially those organizing the trip.
Also, getting in and out of the water from a catamaran is easy and natural. The stern is wide, low, and close to sea level, making it easy to swim, snorkel or just relax near the water
There are no awkward jumps or complicated maneuvers. The sea becomes a natural extension of the boat.
More onboard space to relax and socialize
Space changes everything. A catamaran does not feel like a traditional boat, it feels open, spacious, and comfortable.
The areas are designed for socializing front nets to lie down and relax, large shaded areas interior lounge with ocean views and a stern area perfect for sitting close to the water
This allows everyone to enjoy the experience at their own pace: some relax, others socialize, others simply watch the horizon, all without fully disconnecting with the rest of the party. No one gets in the way. No one feels confined.
A relaxed experience, even for first-time sailors
Many people believe they are “not boat people.” The reality is that they have never been on the right boat.
A catamaran is ideal for first-time sailors. It doesn’t feel intimidating, it doesn’t move abruptly, and it provides a sense of calm from the very beginning.
That’s why in Puerto Vallarta; more and more people are choosing catamaran as their rental choice on their first introduction to the sea.
Anchored without seasickness: the biggest untold advantage of a catamaran
This is where many monohulls lose points. When the boat is anchored or moored, the movement is often constant and uncomfortable.
On a catamaran, that sensation practically disappears. When stationary, it remains stable and firm, allowing you to fully enjoy beaches, bays, and snorkeling spots without seasickness.
No engine noise!
There is something deeply special about turning off the engines and letting the wind do the work.
When sailing, the sound of the sea replaces mechanical noise. The atmosphere becomes calmer, more intimate, and more natural. This is when many people realize they are not just on a boat ride but truly experiencing the ocean.
This silence is part of the luxury a catamaran offers.
Lower fuel consumption = more competitive prices
By taking advantage of the wind and reducing engine use, catamarans consume less fuel. This is not only better for the environment but also helps optimize costs.
Thanks to this efficiency, we can offer high-quality experiences at more competitive prices, without sacrificing comfort or service and this is a direct benefit for our clients.
Experience Puerto Vallarta from the sea, the way it should be
Puerto Vallarta is enjoyed differently when you see it from the water. The beaches, mountains, and horizon take on a whole new dimension.
Choosing a catamaran is not just choosing a boat. It’s choosing comfort, tranquility, space, and an experience designed to be truly enjoyed.
Our guests at Float, choose our catamarans because the experience stays with them long after the day ends, we hear a lot: “this day was the highlight of our trip in PV”.
From the first message to book with us, the communication is personal, easy, and genuine. On board, our crew doesn’t just provide service, they create connection, often ending the day with hugs instead of goodbyes.
We take pride in keeping our catamarans in exceptional condition, and it shows in how relaxed our guests feel. Most of our clients come from abroad, and many of them return with new friends to share the experience.
Watching the sunset from the water is always unforgettable, but it’s those unexpected moments like dolphins swimming alongside us, or whales appearing in the distance, that turn a beautiful day into something truly special.
