Designed for reliability, comfort, and operational efficiency, the 38FT Catamaran is a versatile twin-hull vessel developed for commercial operations, passenger transport, and customized leisure use. With its wide beam, shallow draft, and stable catamaran configuration, this model delivers excellent performance in both coastal and inland waters.
Whether used as a passenger ferry, workboat, patrol craft, or private leisure platform, the 38FT Catamaran offers a flexible solution tailored to modern marine operations.
The catamaran hull design provides superior transverse stability compared to traditional monohull vessels. With a 5.6-meter beam, the vessel offers a spacious deck layout and reduced roll motion, ensuring passenger comfort and safe operation even in moderate sea conditions.
The wide deck area allows for multiple layout options, including:
*Open passenger seating
*Work and equipment zones
*Bar counter or service console
*Customized functional modules
This makes the vessel ideal for operators who require both stability and usable deck space.
The 38FT Catamaran is powered by twin 60HP outboard engines, providing balanced thrust, excellent maneuverability, and simplified maintenance. The twin-engine configuration improves redundancy and safety while allowing precise low-speed control during docking or close-quarters operation.
Key performance highlights:
*Twin outboard propulsion for reliability
*Cruising speed up to 11 knots
*Shallow draft of approximately 0.6 m, suitable for shallow waters
*Optional bow thruster for enhanced maneuverability
*Hydraulic steering and an ergonomic helm console ensure smooth and responsive handling, even for extended operations.
