What is a catamaran tourist boat?

As the name implies, we generally call a catamaran a ship consisting of two single hulls fixed together horizontally.

The earliest use of catamarans was due to the discovery that two ships were connected horizontally, so that they could sail from inland rivers to the sea without capsizing easily. In the early days, this method was applied to sailboats, and catamarans were built, which could withstand the big waves at sea. On this basis, it is found that catamarans have larger deck area and cabin capacity than single ships of the same tonnage, so they are used for cargo ships. After the 1960s, with the rapid development of high-speed passenger transport at sea, high-speed catamarans have been widely favored because of their large deck area, large space and convenience for luxurious decoration, and become one of the high-performance ships with the fastest development, the widest application and the largest number of constructions in recent decades.

A typical high-speed catamaran is composed of two slender monohull, the upper part of which is connected by a deck bridge, and the power plant, power station and other equipment are installed in the body. The upper part of the deck bridge is equipped with a superstructure with cabins and living facilities. Because the high-speed catamaran divides a single hull into two pieces, each piece is thinner and longer, thus reducing the wave-making resistance and making it have a higher speed. At present, its speed has generally reached 35-40 knots. Because the width of catamaran is much larger than that of monohull, its stability is obviously better than that of monohull, and it has the ability to resist big waves; Catamarans not only have good maneuverability, but also have the characteristics of unobvious peak resistance and large load capacity, so they are widely used in military and civil ships all over the world.

Catamaran is a kind of tourist ship.
