Forward Master Cabin | Advantages & DisadvantagesA defining design feature. From a true walk-around berth and plenty of ventilation and light, to additional structural strength and proximity away from noise, this feature is unique to Privilège Catamarans. We discuss both the advantages and disadvantages to this deliberate design element. ADVANTAGES:1. Structure: Placing the master cabin forward requires more structure that in turn benefits the overall strength and integrity of the boat. The structure, or ‘pod’, extends further forward to the crossbeam, allowing for not only the placement of the master cabin forward, but also provides larger anchor lockers and deeper storage aboard. 2. Ventilation: With the cabin forward configuration, there are as many as 6 to 9 opening hatches depending on the specific Privilege Catamaran model. This is beneficial when at anchor for providing passive ventilation and light. 3. True Island Berth: Unlike other catamaran builders that carve off the end of the bed to create access for walking around, the ends of the beds aboard the Privilège Catamarans are not chopped-off, and are true full beds with walk-around berths. 4. Isolated from Noisy Components: The master cabin is placed forward and away from noisy mechanical components. Engines, water pressure pumps, the generator and the AC compressors are all placed in the aft locker, away from the main cabin. 5. Quiet at Marinas: As a general rule, catamarans dock stern-to at marinas. A placement of the master cabin aft could mean that you are exposed to regular dock noises – even normal conversations dock-side can be enough to disturb your sleep. By placing the master cabin forward, you not only have more privacy, but you are also further distanced from dock noise. DISADVANTAGES:So why don’t other catamaran builders build this way? Simple Economics: For every private buyer of a catamaran, there are charter companies buying catamarans by the hundreds. Charter companies are driving the design decisions for these mass-produced catamarans. If a builder is trying to create as many heads and beds to maximize bookings in the hospitality industry, having a large, dedicated master suite forward doesn’t make financial sense. Motion Under Certain Conditions: Under certain conditions, there is more motion in the forward cabin. There tends to be more motion under certain rough seas, but as anyone who is familiar with the Privilège Catamarans, they know that they tend to sail flat in most sea conditions.

This innovative superyacht catamaran from the Italian Sea Group is unlike any other catamaran One of the many things I love about my job as a yachting journalist is that I get to interact with a rare breed of creatively courageous people who are constantly pushing the envelope of what’s possible when it comes to yacht design and construction. And when it comes to pushing the envelope of what’s possible, few yachts have created more buzz than the 143-foot-long and 47-foot WIDE catamaran THIS IS IT that Italian Sea Group Art Director and project manager, Gian Marco Campanino, R&D Centro Stile team Director, Mattia Piro, and exterior designers Lateral Naval Architects have designed for Tecnomar Yachts to build. And the best part is since it was sold and project managed by IYC Global Managing Partner Michel Chryssicopoulos . "This is definitely one of the most exciting and ground breaking projects we have ever worked on!” Chryssicopoulos says.

Additionally, a catamaran has more stability on calm waters. This helps make a catamaran more comfortable to relax or sleep on while at anchor or the dock. The deeper draft of a monohull boat has its advantages as well. A deeper draft provides more stability in rough waters and allows a boat to go further into the sea.
Speaking of a modern catamaran, the vessel has more advantages than disadvantages and here is why: 1. Catamarans are comfortable. They have much more space than monohulls.
