Why a Catamaran Is Ideal for a Kitesurfing Cruise

Benefits of a Catamaran for Kiteboarding

When planning an unforgettable kiteboarding trip, the choice of yacht has a major influence on the experience. This is why all Ocean Ad-Ventures cruises take place aboard sailing catamarans. Their spacious decks, shallow draft and stability make them particularly well suited to reaching sandbars, lagoons and remote anchorages that are often difficult to access from land.

A catamaran provides room to prepare equipment without unnecessary clutter, direct access to the water and the flexibility to move when the conditions change. It combines a practical watersports base with comfortable living space for relaxing between sessions. Discover our kitesurf cruises and the destinations we explore.

Access to Remote Spots

  • Shallow draft for anchoring close to lagoons and sandbars
  • Access to remote riding areas away from busy beaches
  • Direct water access from the stern platforms

A Stable and Spacious Base

  • Wide decks for preparing and organising equipment
  • More space for boards, kites and personal gear
  • Comfortable areas for briefings and relaxing

Freedom to Follow the Conditions

  • Flexible routes adapted to wind and weather
  • The option to move away from crowded locations
  • More variety throughout a multi-day kite trip

Storage, Launching and Setup Advantages

Space is one of the biggest challenges when travelling with kitesurfing equipment. The wide beam and practical layout of a catamaran provide room for twin tips, surfboards, foil boards, kites and harnesses without turning the living areas into equipment storage.

Spacious aft decks and stern platforms simplify preparation and water access. The exact launching method always depends on the anchorage, wind direction and local conditions, and every session is coordinated with the crew. After riding, deck showers and outdoor areas make it easier to rinse and dry equipment.

  • Dedicated storage for wet and sandy equipment
  • Open deck space for preparation and line management
  • Freshwater showers for riders and equipment
  • Outdoor areas for drying gear between sessions
  • Direct access to the water from the stern platforms

Comfort and Space Aboard

Comfort matters after a long session on the water. A modern sailing catamaran offers significantly more usable space than a comparable monohull, with private cabins, a bright saloon and several outdoor areas for meals, briefings and relaxation.

  • Large aft cockpit for shared meals and sunset views
  • Private cabins for couples, friends and solo travellers
  • Several areas for relaxing in the sun or shade
  • Stable living spaces while the yacht is at anchor

Why the Lagoon 45 Works as a Floating Kite Base

The Lagoon 45 combines generous living space with the practical features required for a watersports cruise. Its wide aft cockpit provides room for group meals and equipment preparation, while the bow trampolines create an additional place to relax between sessions.

Dedicated storage keeps boards and kites organised, and the wide side decks make it easier to move around the yacht. Private cabins with en-suite bathrooms provide comfort and privacy, while the saloon offers a protected space for planning sessions or relaxing when the weather changes.

The catamaran's shallow draft allows it to reach protected anchorages and watersports locations that are not suitable for deeper-draft yachts. Twin engines also provide precise manoeuvring when entering anchorages or repositioning the yacht.

The Lagoon 45 is more than transport between kite spots. Throughout the cruise, it becomes your equipment base, shared living space and temporary home on the water.
