Moorings Power Catamaran FAQs
What makes Moorings power catamarans different from traditional motor yachts?
Moorings power catamarans are twin‑hull motor yachts designed to deliver the stability, space and efficiency of a sailing catamaran with the speed and simplicity of twin diesels. Wide beams, shallow drafts and large indoor–outdoor living areas make them well‑suited to island‑hopping, skinny‑water anchorages and relaxed cruising without sacrificing comfort.
What are the different Moorings power catamaran models and their typical cruising speeds?
The current Moorings power catamaran range in the ownership fleet focuses on models like the Moorings 403PC and the larger Moorings 464PC, each designed to offer a balance of speed, comfort and fuel efficiency. As a guide, the 403PC is typically cruised in the mid‑teens (around 14–16 knots) for an efficient, comfortable ride, while the 464PC, with more waterline length and additional power, is generally run a bit faster in the high‑teens (around 17–19 knots) when conditions and loading allow.
How do the Moorings 403PC and 464PC compare in size and cruising capability?
The Moorings 403PC is a 40 ft (12.19 m) power catamaran with a beam of 21’8″ (6.61 m), twin 320 hp engines and a shallow draft around 3’7″ (1.1 m), engineered for fuel‑efficient, quiet running at typical cruising speeds. The Moorings 464PC steps up to a 46 ft length and roughly 24 ft beam, adding more interior volume, a larger flybridge and expanded outdoor seating, with similar twin‑engine power for higher passage speeds and longer‑range coastal cruising.
Why kind of performance and fuel efficiency can I expect from Moorings power cats?
Moorings power catamarans are designed to plane efficiently at moderate speeds, with optimized hull shapes that allow higher average cruising speeds than sail cats at comparable fuel burn. Twin diesel installations with thoughtfully sized fuel tanks provide solid range for extended island‑hopping, while wide engine spacing and twin screws make docking and close‑quarters maneuvering more precise.
How are Moorings powercats equipped for comfort and liveability?
Layouts emphasize large saloons with wraparound views, well‑equipped galleys, multiple cabins with en‑suite heads, and generous cockpit and flybridge spaces for dining and relaxation. Many models also feature air conditioning, generators, substantial refrigeration and storage, and practical details such as dedicated technical spaces aft to keep machinery noise and service work separated from guest areas.
Is a power catamaran a good fit for my cruising style compared to a sail cat?
Power cats are ideal if you value getting from A to B on a schedule, prefer simple push‑button operation over sail handling, or often plan routes with lighter or less predictable winds.

“If you plan to charter multiple times a year and you enjoy it, you need to buy. I love the flexibility of use and that fact that we own a boat in the British Virgin Islands. As a Moorings Owner we don’t have to worry about insurance, dockage, repairs or maintenance. We use it, we enjoy it, and we love it. You get to explore more, and you meet a whole boating community. It also provides an opportunity to plug in with the locals, and you get to know people in a different light.”

All I can say is that we have been very impressed. The staff handling bookings and sales have been excellent. The marina staff and management throughout the world have been great. Basically everything I have been promised has been delivered. That is the reason we bought another boat. At the end of the day, we trust a company that has been around for so long.

“It is an affordable way to have a beautiful boat. The key word is affordable. Because the yacht is in the ownership program, it helps subsidize the cost of the yacht, And it is nice to be able to go to a beautiful place and enjoy your boat.”
