Catamaran or monohull for a charter, according to Reddit?

According to Reddit sailors, catamarans win a charter on comfort and space, while monohulls win on the sailing itself. A 130-comment r/sailing thread puts it plainly: monohulls are “far safer if you intend to make long passages” and faster upwind, while cats are “more comfortable, more spacious and faster” off the wind. For a one-week Caribbean vacation, that debate mostly resolves itself. Nobody is crossing an ocean; the group is living aboard at anchor, where a catamaran’s flat decks, big saloon, and no-heel ride matter more than upwind performance. Sailors who want to feel the boat lean still pick the mono. Compare boats in the Caribbean catamaran guide.
