First Time on a Catamaran Cruise? Here’s Everything You Should Know

Catamaran Cruises Elounda

You have landed at your dreamy summer destination in beautiful Elounda, Crete. The sun is glowing over the majestic Mirabello Bay and as you gaze at the mesmerizing sea, you can almost see yourself gliding across crystal-clear waters and feeling the light breeze playing with your hair. Do you want to make this dream a reality?

Join a catamaran cruise with Ocean Spirit and turn a regular day in Elounda into a memory you will treasure forever.

But wait. What is a Catamaran?

A catamaran is a wide boat with two parallel hulls of equal size. Catamarans are more stable than monohulls because the two widely-spaced hulls balance the weight of the vessel in such a way that the water doesn’t make it bob from side to side too easily. Actually, it is so steady you can walk barefoot across the deck without fearing you might slip.

Catamarans are designed exclusively for sailing, which is why they offer stability and comfort. Unlike traditional yachts that tilt easily with the waves, a catamaran sails smoothly and steadily. Their spacious decks, cozy interior and exterior lounging, roomy cabins, and undistracted views of the sea create the ideal environment for resting and for having short or distant explorations, depending on your needs, mood, and preferences.

Ocean Spirit offers a range of tailor-made catamaran cruises based on your schedules and desires. Whether you wish to sail with your partner, your beloved family, or your friends, we can plan a private cruise just for you!
