SMOOTH SAILING: WHY A CATAMARAN IS YOUR BEST FRIEND IN WINTER

Winter in Oceanside is synonymous with one thing: Giant whales. The Gray Whales are migrating, the dolphins are active, and the ocean is alive. However, winter can also bring slightly choppier seas than the calm dog days of summer.

For many potential whale watchers, the fear of seasickness or a “bumpy ride” is the only thing holding them back from booking a trip.

If that sounds like you, we have great news. At Oceanside Adventures, you have a distinct advantage: The Catamaran.

Two Hulls Are Better Than One Our vessel is a 50-foot, custom-built luxury catamaran. Unlike a traditional “monohull” boat (which has a V-shape bottom that can rock side-to-side in the swell), a catamaran sits on two parallel hulls.

This design offers superior stability. The boat doesn’t just bob over the waves; it slices through them. The wide stance of the two hulls significantly reduces that “rolling” motion that typically causes motion sickness. It provides a flat, stable platform that makes walking around the deck easy and safe, even when the ocean is a little energetic.

360-Degree Views (Without the Crowd) Another benefit of our catamaran design is the layout. Because the boat is wide, it offers expansive deck space.

• The “Stepped” Bow: Our bow (front) features stepped seating, ensuring that everyone gets a front-row view without having to look over someone’s shoulder.

• One-Level Viewing: You are close to the water. You don’t have to climb steep ladders or crowd onto a top deck to see the action. You are eye-level with the dolphins, making for incredible photography opportunities.

Comfort Meets Adventure We believe that adventure doesn’t have to be uncomfortable. Whether you are enjoying the covered galley area or standing on the bow with the wind in your hair, the ride is designed to be as smooth as it is exciting.

Don’t let the worry of winter waves keep you on dry land. Join us aboard our catamaran and experience the smoothest ride in Southern California.
