USW CUSTOM CATAMARANS
Thanks to its specifically designed shape and wide beam, which reduces any “rocking” motion, a catamaran minimizes the risk of motion sickness. Ease of handling, unobstructed views, and ergonomic layouts also make the captain’s and the crew’s jobs easier. Open, walk-through cabin layouts are available along with a wide choice of seating and storage options.
We are able to provide a wide range of fit and finish ranging from rugged and simple to luxurious and sophisticated. A drop-down bow is available on some models to facilitate easy boarding and disembarking for passengers and cargo.
A catamaran requires less power to perform at the same speed as a monohull of similar size and carrying capacity. The catamaran’s specific design features, such as its slender bow form and its widely spaced hulls result in a vessel that can operate safely in both in tight areas and in adverse weather conditions.
