A multi-hulled yacht or boat is also known as a catamaran. The official Definition is: A multi-hulled boat has at least three hulls, with the outside hulls extending forward beyond the central or inside hull or hulls.
The hulls are tapered with a cross-sectional configuration that increases in side front to rear, thus forming a channel or tunnel between adjacent hulls which decreases in cross-sectional size front to rear. Air entering the tunnels is compressed, thus imparting a lifting force to the hulls lifting the hulls partially out of the water to decrease the hydraulic drag on the hulls.
Multi-hulled boats are often offered for charter vacations around the world. An example of a multi-hulled boat is the Aldebaran located in the Caribbean: www.bookaldebaran.com
