This term generally refers to "catamaran-type" hulls: two separate hull bodies joined together by a strong platform or deck. Catamarans can be as small as a one-person wooden craft with two dugout hulls (Pacific Islands) to seagoing vessels of 300 feet (91 meters) in length.
Catamarans are very popular as recreational and cruising boats. Most are rigged with one or more masts and larger cruising cats have masts and engines.
Most of today's large Tankers have double hulls, but that refers to their inner and outer hulls which greatly increase safety and lessen the chance of oil spills that damage the environment.
