They were very responsive and helped me pick the right boat. We had a beautiful afternoon on the boat. I would definitely recommend!

Just had a wonderful trip on this beautiful and well maintained boat. The skipper was really nice and he wanted to make our stay as pleasant as possible during Christmas weekend. I recommend this boat if you love sailing around Angra, Ilha Grande, Paraty!!

We got to see RIO from the sea. Flamengo, Copacabana, Ipanema. It was like living picture. So beautiful.

A must book. Really enjoyed myself. Will book again when I’m back in Rio.

Perfect experience! Our captain showed us amazing views of Rio and sights that we would have you otherwise never known about. The pickup was perfect and the boat is very luxurious. I would definitely book again and wish I had another chance to during my stay!

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Portugal

Portugal’s expansive coastline, dotted with picturesque harbors and sun-kissed beaches, is a sailor’s dream. When it comes to exploring this maritime gem, the choice between a sailing boat and a catamaran can set the tone for your adventure. With Yachting.Rent, we offer insights to help you choose the vessel that aligns best with your sailing aspirations in Portugal.

Sailing Boat: The Essence of Traditional Sailing For purists who crave the classic feel of cutting through Atlantic waves, a sailing boat is your ticket. They offer a raw and intimate connection to the water. Their streamlined design is perfect for navigating Portugal’s diverse coastlines, from the rugged cliffs of Algarve to the tranquil bays of Cascais. Sailing boats are ideal for those looking to harness the winds, test their sailing prowess, and savor the romance of traditional maritime exploration.

Catamaran: Space, Stability, and Luxury If you value stability, comfort, and a panoramic view of the horizon, a catamaran might be your vessel of choice. With its dual-hulled design, catamarans provide a spacious deck and interior, making it a top pick for families or larger groups. Their design ensures a smoother, more stable ride – great for those who might be newer to sailing or prefer a laid-back experience. The expansive decks are perfect for sunbathing, enjoying alfresco dinners, or simply soaking in the breathtaking Portuguese sunset.

No matter the choice, Portugal’s waters await with promises of adventure, wonder, and timeless memories.

If you're looking for a beautiful, historic, and vibrant country to visit on your next holiday, Portugal should be at the top of your list! This charming European nation has something to offer everyone; a rich history and culture, a climate that is perfect for a summer getaway, delicious food and friendly locals, what's not to love? There are so many beautiful places to see in Portugal, from the gorgeous beaches to the stunning architecture and mystifying islands. See the very best of this remarkable country with a catamaran rental in Portugal, and make memories that will last forever.

What is the cost of a catamaran charter in Portugal?

The price of a catamaran rental in Portugal will differ depending on a number of factors such as the time of year, how many people are on board and the size and type of catamaran you choose. Of course, the exact location in the country will also have an effect considering that some destinations might be more sought-after than others. The average price is about €5,700/week for 10 people.

What is the best time of year to rent a catamaran in Portugal?

The best time to embark on a catamaran charter in Portugal is between April and November when the weather is warm and there is little to no precipitation. The hottest month is in August with an average high of 28°C, but you should know that if you choose to travel to Portugal in summer you’re likely to encounter large crowds. In order to avoid crowded streets and shores, we recommend visiting Portugal at the tail ends of the high season, in either May or September. The weather will still be warm and you’ll get better deals on Portugal catamaran rentals.

Should I charter a catamaran in Portugal with or without a skipper?

If you have a licence to sail you might be more inclined to choose a bareboat vessel however, for avid and novice sailors alike we always recommend choosing a skippered vessel. There are many benefits to having a skipper on board your catamaran rental in Portugal. If you don’t have nautical knowledge or a licence, a skipper will dock, anchor and navigate the vessel for you but if you prefer to sail the vessel yourself they can serve as an extra set of eyes. Skippers can also be your personal tour guide around the area since they are usually locals, and can take you to see all of the hidden gems and most important tourist attractions.

For a more relaxed sailing holiday with an all-inclusive atmosphere, choose a catamaran rental with a skipper on board!

What is there to do while on a catamaran charter in Portugal?

If you're looking for a sailing holiday with plenty of things to do, then Portugal is the perfect destination. With its stunning coastal cities and towns, there are plenty of places to explore. Here are our top picks for things to do and coastal cities to visit on your catamaran rental in Portugal.

  • In the city of Lisbon, you can explore the winding streets of the historic city centre, visit the castle overlooking the city, or take a ride on the iconic tram. There are also plenty of beaches nearby where you can relax and soak up the sun. Just down the coast from Lisbon is the beautiful city of Sintra. This town is home to a number of stunning palaces and castles, as well as gardens and parks. It's the perfect place to explore if you're interested in architecture and history.
  • If you're looking for someplace quieter, the town of Cascais is a great option. This charming town is situated on a beautiful bay with sandy beaches. There are also plenty of restaurants and cafes to enjoy while you're here.
  • Further south, you'll find the city of Porto. This lively city is known for its port wine production and picturesque bridges crossing the river. Be sure to visit one of the many port wine cellars for a tasting or tour. Don’t forget to go to the neighbouring town of Gaia to catch the iconic sunset.
  • Don’t miss out on spending some time in the Algarve region. This area is renowned for its stunning beaches, golf courses and lively nightlife scene. If you’re looking for a more exciting holiday, this is where you’ll find it!
  • Visit the Azores, a group of nine volcanic islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean that offers some of the most breathtaking scenery in Portugal. From hiking and biking to whale watching and enjoying the local cuisine, there's plenty to keep you busy on a trip to the Azores.
  • Explore the Portuguese islands. In addition to the Azores, there are a number of other Portuguese islands worth exploring, including Madeira, Porto Santo and the Berlengas. Each island has its own unique charms, so be sure to check them out before deciding where to spend your vacation.

What should I consider before renting a catamaran in Portugal?

Catamarans are great vessels for a longer holiday with a group of family or friends and are typically rented by the week. They are spacious and tend to include amenities such as a kitchen, bathroom and cabins for sleeping on the water. They also have a unique, double-hulled structure which gives them extra stability, perfect for people who are prone to seasickness! If you’re looking for a comfortable and accessible vessel for all of the people on board, look no further than a catamaran rental for your holiday in Portugal.

Portugal is a country located on the western coast of the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe. It is bordered by Spain to the east and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The Portuguese coast is known for its stunning beaches, rugged cliffs, and picturesque fishing villages, which can all be accessed by boat.

Some unique aspects of navigating around Portugal include the opportunity to visit the Azores, a group of islands located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and the Madeira Islands, which are known for their subtropical climate and beautiful beaches. Chartering a private yacht in Portugal also allows you to visit the many charming towns and villages along the coast, as well as the country's beautiful national parks and protected areas. Additionally, Portugal has a long history of fishing and sailing, which can be experienced first-hand through yacht charters.

How much does it cost to charter a private yacht in Portugal?

There are many factors that can influence the overall price of a private yacht charter in Portugal. For example, the cost will fluctuate depending on the size of the vessel, the number of passengers, the duration of the trip and the seasonality. Below are the average prices according to yacht type.

What is the best time to visit Portugal?

Ultimately, the best time to charter a private yacht in Portugal will depend on your personal preferences and the type of experience you are looking for. It is always a good idea to check the weather and tourist forecasts for the specific region you will be visiting before making your decision.

Portugal has a Mediterranean climate, with warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Therefore, the summer months (June to September) are generally the best time to charter a yacht in Portugal, as the weather is warm and sunny and the sea is calm. However, the summer can also be very busy, with high tourist numbers and crowded marinas. The shoulder seasons (April to May and October to November) can also be good times to visit, as the weather is still pleasant and there are fewer crowds.

Should I charter a private yacht with or without a skipper?

As you browse through Scansail’s selection of yachts, you will notice that many come with the option to include a skipper. While this typically adds an extra cost to your overall journey, there are many benefits that make having a skipper worthwhile. For example, a professional skipper will be able to handle all the navigation of the private yacht, including the sailing, docking and anchoring. This means that you won’t need any nautical experience to have the boating holiday of a lifetime. Moreover, a skipper will be familiar with the regional waters, so they can show you the very best that Portugal has to offer.

Generating Memories since 1982

With different kinds of activities, we are proud to say that we are generating great memories for almost 40 years.

In the beginning we were one of the first companies in the Algarve doing these cruises along the coastline. Teaching people how to sail. Our love for the ocean was what kept operating until today! It was always a passion of ours the activity of sailing which allows a direct contact with nature, feeling the breeze, enjoying the sound of the waves through the boat. There is nothing like the feeling of peace while our mind flows with the sound of the sea.

Our CEO started the business with a small Yacht after winning some national championships in different classes of sailing boats. At first we were only able to have small groups who wanted to learn and feel exactly what sailing is about. A few years later, our CEO became a boat builder, and the company started to grow. We built a Catamaran with a larger capacity, 2 Sailing Yachts and now we also have a Power Boat specially made for dolphin search. Our motivation remains the same, to provide our guests a perfect day at the sea, while comfortably enjoying the rocky landscape and the unique beaches Algarve has to offer.

Apart from great weather, beautiful scenery and great food, we really learnt a lot from Dave, who was a great and affable coach and managed to stay calm in any stressful situation (not too many of those though:)). The course was very well organised and I also want to thank you for the administrative support leading up to it."

Discover the Top Power Catamarans for 2024

  • By Yachting Staff
  • Updated: September 10, 2024

Power catamarans have seen a surge in popularity, growing both in size and appeal. These cruise-focused yachts offer homelike comfort, fuel efficiency and user-friendly operation, making them a favorite among avid travelers. Their popularity extends to the bareboat charter market for the same reasons.

In this article, we explore the world’s top power catamarans, ranging from a 36-footer ideal for a cruising couple to a 78-footer perfect for entertaining friends and family. The propulsion options are diverse, including outboards, diesel inboards, hybrids, and even all-solar setups.

Top Luxury Power Catamarans

The following power catamarans are all vessels we’ve reviewed. They are listed in no particular order.

  • Fountaine Pajot MY44 : A family-oriented cat suitable for long-range cruising and aimed at owner-operators. 
  • Silent Yachts 60 : This is a catamaran that can cruise comfortably for long distances using emissions-free solar-electric propulsion.
  • Horizon PC74 : With interior and deck space like a much larger vessel, the PC74 is perfect for cruising the Bahamas and Caribbean.
  • Aquila 36 : This beefy 36-footer is an outboard-powered, express-cruiser-style catamaran.
  • Lagoon Seventy 8 Powercat : A spacious design, this vessel fits the volume of a 130-foot-long monohull into just 78 feet of length overall. 
  • Horizon PC68 : This cat has a stable ride, long range, volume to spare and intriguing layout options.
  • Two Oceans 555 : An elegantly simple yet luxurious 55-foot custom with the space and amenities of a much larger vessel.
  • Lagoon 630 : From its open salon to its spacious decks, the Lagoon is a comfortable and luxurious platform.
  • Fountaine Pajot MY5 : A midsize cruiser with serious big-boat space for family and friends. 
  • Prestige Yachts M8 : The voluminous 65-footer lets owners customize onboard spaces.
  • Aquila 47 Molokai : Calling all anglers: This cat has 60-plus-knot speed and is set up for serious bluewater adventure.

Fountaine Pajot MY44

The  Fountaine Pajot MY44 , a creation of Italian architect Pierangelo Andreani and French designer Daniel Andrieu, has a main deck that’s open from the aft-deck seating all the way forward to the starboard helm station. The sense of spaciousness is significant, for several reasons. First, four glass panels aft can all slide to port, creating an indoor-outdoor space with the aft deck and salon. In the salon, 32-inch-high windows extend for 12 feet down the sides of the yacht, with three sections per side, bringing in natural light along with the three forward panes that comprise the windshield. Finally, 6-foot-6-inch headroom provides vertical clearance, with a 21-foot-7-inch beam that adds interior roominess while keeping the yacht stable.

Silent Yachts 60

Solar panels, ocean-crossing range and self-sufficiency define the electric Silent-Yachts 60 power catamaran. If there was any question that the “Tesla moment” has arrived in yachting, the Silent 60 clearly provides a positive response. Consider, for a moment, crossing oceans in silence at 5 to 6 knots without consuming a drop of fuel and never needing to plan your course between fuel stops. Imagine sitting at anchor and running the air conditioning all night, not to mention all the galley appliances plus the washer-dryer, without the hum or fumes from a genset.

Horizon PC74

As founder and director of The Powercat Company, a Horizon Power Catamarans distributor, Stuart Hegerstrom had long believed that catamaran builders needed to design their yachts to more stylish standards.

“The boats were very boxy,” he says, based on his years of experience with cats in the charter market. He and his partner, Richard Ford, asked Horizon to produce models that had high-end finishes and looked good inside and out.

The Horizon team brought in mega-yacht designer JC Espinosa to work with its own craftsmen. The result aboard the  Horizon PC74  is a catamaran with exterior styling, layout and functionality that should appeal to private and charter owners alike.

The Aquila 36  is a departure from her sisterships in that she is an outboard-powered, express-cruiser-style catamaran, but she also adheres to MarineMax’s philosophies.

With a single main living level from bow to stern and a beam of 14 feet 7 inches, the Aquila 36 is like a bowrider on steroids. She has seating that can handle 20 adults for outings and barbecues, and there are two staterooms below, one in each hull, for family weekending. The staterooms have nearly queen-size berths, en suite heads, stowage and 6-foot-6-inch headroom.

Lagoon Seventy 8 Powercat

Lagoon is a division of Groupe Beneteau, the world’s largest builder of sailing yachts, and the  Lagoon Seventy 8 Powercat  is a developmental sistership of its Seventy 7 super sailing cat. The Seventy series yachts are built at Construction Navale Bordeaux in France, which had to add a new yard to construct these catamarans because they require separate stern molds for the power and sail versions.

Horizon PC68

Multihull yachts ride differently than monohulls, often counteracting the sea’s motion for a smoother, more stable ride. On the Horizon PC68 , sharp hull entries make head seas seem gentle, and a Humphree stabilization system with blades reduces roll. Horizon uses SCRIMP construction for resin saturation that maximizes strength with an 111,112-pound displacement. And with a 5-foot-4-inch draft, the PC68 invites island cruising.

Two Oceans 555

With 27-knot speed, house-like volume, an on-deck master and top-tier tech, the Two Oceans 555 is a formidable power catamaran. Dave Jirikovic of HMY Yachts was on a quest. The sales broker was looking for the meanest, nastiest patch of Gulf Stream he could find to show a potential client what the Two Oceans 555 power cat could handle. And just as he had intended to show us, the broad-shouldered power cat didn’t even notice. He even dropped the single-lever throttles back to idle and left the 25-foot-wide Two Oceans 555 beam-on to another set of square-edged seas. The 55-footer brushed that off too. Jirikovic tried quartering into the seas—never a happy angle for catamarans—and the yacht drowsed through them.

Fitted with the optional twin 300-horsepower Volvo Penta D4 diesels, the  Lagoon 630 MY  burns only 1.64 gph total at 6 knots, giving a theoretical range of 2,952 nautical miles with standard tankage of 793 gallons. Hull No. 1 had an optional 502-gallon tank, giving it transatlantic range.

Luxury, stability and economy are all hallmarks of Lagoon’s return to luxury motor yachts. If you can take a ride, it will be worth your time.

Fountaine Pajot MY5

The flybridge deck on the Fountaine Pajot MY5 is a standout feature, offering virtually unobstructed 360-degree ocean views and an elevated beach club vibe. Aft of the off-center starboard helm is a spacious area perfect for entertaining, complete with a wet bar, refrigeration center, and ample seating. It’s the most popular space aboard according to the builder.

Prestige Yachts M8

How fitting it was that Prestige Yachts introduced its new M-Line flagship, the M8 , at Portopiccolo, a picturesque yachting village outside Trieste, Italy. Formerly a quarry, the cliff-side area had been chiseled into a clean site rife with eye-catching vistas, much like the French builder’s 65-foot power catamaran and its nearly 3,000 square feet of usable real estate.

Aquila 47 Molokai

With every boat, there’s an origin story. In the case of the Aquila 47 Molokai power catamaran, it starts with MarineMax, which saw people renting boats for bareboat charters. MarineMax Vacations was born. After experimenting with several production yachts, the company decided to build its own: the Aquila line, designed for charter as well as for sale to owner-operators.
