Pros of renting a catamaran in Fuerteventura
A catamaran charter in Fuerteventura is great for anyone who wants to enjoy the flexibility and fun of sailing on a sailboat, but prefers the comfort of a motorboat. Catamarans have both a sail and an engine, making them extremely flexible. You don’t have to rely on the wind as much as you would with another type of boat.
Another advantage of a catamaran rental in Fuerteventura is the fact that they are a lot more comfortable and spacious than other types of boats. Standing on two hulls allows for more space on board and on deck, making you feel like you’re in a hotel room rather than on board a boat in a little cabin.

Cons of renting a catamaran in Fuerteventura
Although there are very many advantages to renting a catamaran in Fuerteventura, there are also some downsides to it. Catamarans are quite big in size which might come with some difficulties when trying to find a spot for mooring. And even if you are lucky enough to secure a spot for mooring at the marinas, you might struggle to get there. Catamarans are definitely not easy to maneuver in small and narrow spots. Plus: It will most likely cost you extra - after all, you’re taking up more space than a regular sized boat.
Another downside of chartering a catamaran in Fuerteventura can be the fact that catamarans are not as fast as other types of boats. The fact that they are lighter can slow them down significantly.
