Can a catamaran capsize?

Yes. A catamaran can capsize, but a cruising charter cat almost never does. Capsizes happen in two scenarios: extreme racing on lightweight performance hulls, and freak weather (microbursts, knockdowns) on cruising hulls with sails carrying way too much wind. The charter cats brokered through Vital (Lagoon, Bali, Fountaine Pajot, Sunreef) are heavy, wide-beam cruisers with safety margins that put capsizing near zero in normal Caribbean conditions. Catamarans don’t heel the way monohulls do; they sit flat. The trade-off is they don’t right themselves once they’re over, so a captain reefs early and reads weather conservatively. In a brokered week with a professional crew, gust handling is a non-issue. Caribbean charter conditions are tame compared to where capsizes actually happen.
