Catamaran or monohull liveaboard. We sourced the technical specifications of these vessels from maritime records and directly from sailboat manufacturers.

The trampoline on the front the walk-around cockpit and on big cats the second upper lounging area are all cooling spaces that monohulls just dont have. Monohulls heel upwind and when the wind is on the beam while catamarans stay flat but pitch upwind. They used the space wisely.
A catamaran is much better than a monohull in many ways. A catamaran for couples needs to be well-equipped. In short catamarans win hands down over monohulls when it comes to the size of the space youll be living in.
