Today, many fishermen admit that fishing from the shore is becoming less and less effective. Even by feeding fish in their usual places, it is becoming less and less possible to get a good catch. Therefore, most fishermen try to acquire at least some kind of watercraft in order to move further from the shore and try to increase their catch.
Usually in these cases they use an inflatable boat or catamaran. What is the difference between these watercraft? Or what is the advantage of a catamaran over a boat? Let's figure it out.
What is a catamaran?
If you look at the photo of a fishing catamaran, it is easy to see that there is a lot in common between it and an inflatable boat. An inflatable boat is a single unit, even if it is divided into compartments and each of them is inflated separately.
The catamaran has two separate floats between which there is a deck. The catamaran's area is much larger due to its width and there is enough useful space even for setting up a small tent or canopy.

It is almost impossible to sink a catamaran, since its carrying capacity is much higher than that of a boat.
Motor catamaran models
Today, a large number of different modifications of fishing catamarans are bottled from polyvinyl chloride compounds. But to select a specific version of the watercraft, it is best to inspect specific models.
Moreover, it is worth paying attention that you can create them yourself. Such units are characterized by the presence of a rigid base. Their frames are preferably aluminum. This allows you to make the boat as light as possible, on average about twenty kilograms. But this does not affect the load capacity of the unit, which is at the level of three hundred kilograms.
Catamarans "Taymir"
This kind of floating device is very popular today. It can support up to 450 kg of load. Booms with pads are used. Patches are provided exclusively on the surface of the cylinders. The length of the structure does not exceed 3.5 m. The extension in this case is mounted on the sides. The firmware is particularly dense and of high quality. Plus, the set also includes oars.
It is also worth paying attention to the fastening of the structure, which is carried out through crosspieces. The density of the material is around 780 g/m2. You can purchase such a unit for almost 55,000 rubles.
Rotan models
Inflatable catamarans "Rotan" belong to the professional class. They have high stability parameters and can gain significant speed. At the moment of planing, the possibility of the surface of the bottom of the vehicle touching the water is eliminated.
Because movement occurs exclusively on skegs. Due to the fact that the area of contact with the surface of the reservoir is very small, the boat can easily gain high speed.
If we talk about the main difference between this kind of catamarans, then this is, first of all, the smoothness of the ride on the waves. And the height of the side and the resulting cushion under the bottom surface allow us to assert the safety, softness of movement and comfort of the models.
Description of catamarans "Delta 300"
This boat differs little from the Delta models of other modifications. The main positive side of this unit is considered to be a very high carrying capacity, approximately five hundred kilograms, and therefore the ability to accommodate four passengers. Booms are used as a protective mechanism for the bow of the structure.
The density of the polyvinyl chloride composition is about 700 g/m2. You can purchase the model for almost 45,000 rubles, which is very good in this case.
Features of the Delta 350 models
This swimming device is made exclusively from multilayer reinforced polyvinyl chloride composition, characterized by a high degree of strength (850 g/m2) and elasticity. This material is very resistant to aggressive external environments, ultraviolet radiation, sunlight and other natural factors.
To protect passengers in the event of damage to the boat, the boat has two compartments on the cylinder, hermetically separated from each other.
Catamarans "Delta 380"
If we compare such a craft with a regular inflatable boat, it is more stable and unsinkable. Especially when it comes to fishing on rocky and rapid river bodies. Even with large waves, the catamaran is able to develop high speed, showing itself stable and even.
A very convenient backpack is used as packaging. This mobility allows you to move with the not yet disassembled structure to the desired fishing spot, and then begin assembling the entire boat there. The mass of this catamaran is 19.4 kg. The cost of such a design is about 40,000 rubles.
Buster models
Such polyvinyl chloride swimming equipment is especially popular among fishermen. Moreover, they assume the presence of four passenger seats. There is no boom here. The patches are made of rubber. The stretch is located directly on the surface of the cylinders.
The length of the units can reach 4.3 meters. The stringer is provided with medium thickness. The cylinders are made of polyvinyl chloride composition with a density of 780 g/m2. There are two air valves here. You can purchase such a copy for 57,000 rubles.
What types of catamarans are there?
Considering a wide variety of catamarans, we can highlight the following:
Inflatable catamaran for fishing. Such catamarans are usually small in size and easily fold into a backpack. As a rule, they are designed for one person and allow the fisherman to reach the most inaccessible parts of the reservoir.
Catamarans with rigid cylinders. As a rule, they are transported on car trailers and have a much greater carrying capacity. They are often equipped with motors that allow these vessels to develop decent speeds.
How to choose the right catamaran for your fishing trip
If we are talking about a fishing vessel, be it an inflatable boat or a catamaran, then we imagine a small vessel for one fisherman, where everything is at hand. We have fundamentally abandoned minimalism in our catamarans - bigger is better!
Large catamaran for fishing - great opportunities
Mastercat fishing catamarans are an excellent solution for one or more fishermen. You can take a comfortable fishing chair with you, there is always the opportunity to stretch or change position.
When fishing on a catamaran, it is convenient to use plastic boxes in which you can put your catch, clothes and equipment. There is usually not enough space for them in the boat.
If you don’t like to fish alone, then a Mastercat fishing catamaran is the best solution! On a large deck, several fishermen can cast and fish without interfering with each other.
If you are going fishing for a week, then with a catamaran you are not limited in the amount of equipment - everything will fit! And thanks to the easy running of the fishing catamaran, you can move comfortably on an engine of up to 10 hp.
All catamarans weigh less than 200 kg and currently do not require registration with GIMS.
A catamaran for fishing is reliable and safe
As a vessel, a catamaran is much safer than a boat (even an inflatable one). Thanks to its design, the inflatable catamaran has very high stability, which is very important during fishing, when the fish is on the hook and you lean over the side to pull out the catch. It is at this time that most revolutions occur. On an inflatable catamaran, several people can stand on the very edge without significant roll of the vessel.
Also, on a fishing catamaran there is no need to bail out water if you are fishing in the rain or in waves. The deck is located at a height of about 50 cm above the water and is practically not splashed by waves, which ensures comfortable fishing.
Catamaran cylinders for fishing are protected by a bottom beam to protect them from rubbing against the bottom and stones. They also have at least two air sections so that if one section is damaged, the catamaran does not capsize and maintains its geometry and buoyancy.
Catamaran K-47
A catamaran for fishing is convenient
Even though assembling an inflatable catamaran takes longer than an inflatable boat, the process itself is a little simpler. You can assemble and disassemble a catamaran for fishing right in the water, without the need to drag a heavy vessel along the shore. Individual parts of the K-47 catamaran weigh no more than 9 kg. Assembly can be completed by one person. And when using an electric pump and already threaded belts, assembly takes about 30 minutes!
Advantages of a catamaran for fishing:
- The catamaran is completely disassembled and takes up little space in the car.
- High load capacity
- Large deck
- Easy assembly process
- Catamaran safe vessel Reinforced bottom of cylinders
- High stability
- Lots of air compartments
The catamaran deck is easy to clean
Specific models of catamarans for fishing
For one or two fishermen, the K-47 inflatable catamaran is ideal. A 2x2.5 meter deck will allow you to fish comfortably without interfering with each other. For two people, this catamaran can be assembled in 20-30 minutes. The vessel is suitable for both weekend fishing and multi-day trips.
Inflatable catamaran K-47
For the family we offer 2 vessels: inflatable catamaran K-53 and trimaran T-60. These are already large, serious catamarans with a high carrying capacity. They are designed for multi-day trips along rivers and lakes. The deck on them can already accommodate 3-4 fishermen.

Is it possible to make a catamaran yourself?
If a catamaran is such a convenient means for fishing, then a completely reasonable question arises: is it possible to create a homemade catamaran for fishing with your own hands?
The experience of many fishermen suggests that this is possible. Moreover, many of them are proud of their catamarans and post their photos on social networks.
Let's see what materials are suitable for creating a homemade catamaran.
How to build a catamaran with a motor with your own hands
Only a good craftsman can construct such a craft on his own. But sometimes a do-it-yourself catamaran becomes better than the factory version; the owner has the opportunity to adjust the parameters and characteristics of the vessel to his needs.
First, the future model is designed: its detailed drawings are created, after which the general drawing is divided into separate drawings of all parts of the vessel. Then a frame is made (usually from duralumin). The next stage is the production of air cylinders from durable PVC of specified dimensions (length 3.5-4 m). The cylinders are equipped with valves for air injection.
In a homemade version, you can install tension balls. The assembly of the structure is completed by installing the stringers and deck. An important stage of design is checking all parts of the craft for reliability. Particular attention should be paid to the tightness of air cylinders. A high-quality homemade catamaran is always the pride of the owner.
Material for catamaran
The most popular among fishermen is a PVC catamaran for fishing.
To do this, use fairly dense PVC with a density of approximately 800 g/sq.m.
Thanks to such cylinders, you can make not only a durable, but also a heavy-duty catamaran that can accommodate more than two fishermen.
What is a beam?
You can read on the Internet that this or that catamaran has two or three beams. What it is? Beams are the rigid crossbars that connect the cylinders of a catamaran.

If the catamaran is small and designed for one or two fishermen, then two beams will be quite enough, since the length of the cylinders is not long.
To accommodate a larger number of fishermen, longer cylinders are used and, accordingly, it is necessary to install a three-beam system.
Which support is better?
A support is a platform that is attached to beams. It can also be hard and soft. Soft platforms have the advantage that they are easy to fold and pack without taking up much space.
Conversely, a rigid platform is much more convenient; it allows you to move freely around the catamaran and place cargo on it, but transporting such platforms is much more difficult.
