How To Park a Catamaran? (Experts Reveal Their Tips & Tricks)

catamaran resort parking

Ever wondered how to park a catamaran like a pro? Its not as easy as it looks, and theres a lot more to it than just dropping anchor.

Fortunately, there are tried and tested techniques that the experts use to make sure their catamarans are safely and securely parked – and were here to share them with you.

From assessing the area and preparing the anchor, to securing the mooring lines and applying the brakes, well be revealing all the tips and tricks of the trade.

Plus, well be discussing extra safety measures you can take to ensure your catamaran is parked safely and securely.

So, if youre ready to become a master catamaran parker, lets get started!

Table of Contents

Short Answer

When parking a catamaran, it is important to take into account the wind and current.

In order to park safely, you should approach the dock slowly and from a slight angle.

Once you are close enough, you will need to drop your anchor to secure the boat while you prepare the dock lines and fenders to cushion the boat against the dock.

Finally, be sure to use the dock lines to tie the boat off securely so it does not drift away.

Assessing the Area

When it comes to parking a catamaran, the most important step is to assess the area.

Before attempting to park, it is important to look for a spot that is sheltered from wind and waves.

If possible, try to find an area with a shallow draft, as this will make it easier to anchor.

Additionally, it is important to look for any obstacles in the area, such as buoys, other boats, or rocks.

If you cant find an area that is free of obstructions, then its best to move on and look for another spot.

Once youve found a suitable location, you can move on to the next step.

Preparing the Anchor

catamaran resort parking

Anchoring your catamaran is an essential step in the process of parking the vessel.

Before attempting to anchor your catamaran, it is important to assess the area and pick a spot that is sheltered from wind and waves.

If the anchorage is too close to the shore, it can result in the anchor dragging and the catamaran becoming dangerously close to the shoreline.

Additionally, be sure that the anchor is securely attached and that the mooring lines are long enough to reach the desired location.

It is recommended to have at least two anchors on board, as this will provide more stability and security.

When anchoring, it is important to ensure that the catamaran is facing into the wind and the anchor is set securely and firmly into the seabed.

If possible, it is also a good idea to attach the anchor with a floating line, so it can be retrieved more easily if the need arises.

Additionally, it is important to check the anchor periodically to make sure it is securely set and that the mooring lines are not chafing.

With the right preparation and knowledge, anchoring your catamaran can be achieved with ease.

Securing the Mooring Lines

Securing the mooring lines is an essential step when parking a catamaran.

It is important to make sure that the mooring lines are long enough to reach the desired location.

When attaching the mooring lines, make sure to use a strong knot that will not come undone.

Depending on the area, it may be necessary to use a combination of mooring lines, such as a bridle or a bowline.

It is also important to double-check that the mooring lines are securely attached to the cleats or bollards on the dock.

Finally, make sure to apply the brakes to the mooring lines to keep the catamaran in place.

Doing so will ensure that the catamaran is securely parked and wont drift away in the wind or waves.

Double-Checking the Lines and Anchor

catamaran resort parking

When it comes to parking a catamaran, double-checking the lines and anchor is an important step.

Before attempting to park the vessel, it is important to assess the area and pick a spot that is sheltered from wind and waves.

Additionally, it is important to make sure that the anchor is securely attached and that the mooring lines are long enough to reach the desired location.

Once the catamaran is in position, it is essential to double-check the lines are secure and the anchor is set.

This should be done by making sure that the mooring lines are properly attached to the cleats and the anchor is firmly set in the sand or mud.

Additionally, it is important to ensure that the lines are taut and not pulling the catamaran to one side or the other.

Finally, it is important to apply the brakes and attach the fenders to protect the vessel from any surrounding objects.

Applying the brakes will help to ensure that the catamaran does not drift away from its designated spot.

Additionally, attaching the fenders will help to protect the vessel from any rocks or debris that may be present in the water.

By taking the time to properly double-check the lines and anchor, you can rest assured that your catamaran is safely parked.

Following these steps will help to ensure that your vessel is secure and ready for the next journey.

Applying the Brakes

When parking a catamaran, it is important to apply the brakes at the appropriate time.

This will help to ensure that your vessel is securely anchored and that it will not drift away.

The brakes should be applied when the catamaran is in the desired position and the mooring lines are securely attached.

If the brakes are applied too soon or too late, it could lead to an unsafe situation.

When applying the brakes, it is important to check that the brakes are in good working order.

This includes checking the condition of the brakes and making sure that they are properly lubricated.

If the brakes are not in good working order, it is best to replace them before attempting to park the catamaran.

It is also important to ensure that the brakes are applied evenly on both sides of the vessel.

This will help to ensure that the vessel remains balanced and that the mooring lines are not subjected to too much tension.

Additionally, if the brakes are applied too heavily on one side, it could cause the catamaran to tilt and become unstable.

Once the brakes are applied, it is important to stay nearby and keep an eye on the vessel.

This will help to ensure that the catamaran is securely parked and that the lines remain taut and in position.

Additionally, if the wind or waves pick up, it may be necessary to adjust the brakes to ensure that the catamaran remains secure.

Attaching the Fenders

catamaran resort parking

When it comes to parking a catamaran, the last step is the most important: attaching the fenders. Fenders are designed to protect the vessel from any surrounding objects and ensure that it stay in place. It is important to use the right type of fender for your catamaran, as the size and material will depend on the size of the vessel and the type of environment it is parked in. Generally, it is best to use a larger fender that is made of a durable material, such as PVC or rubber.

When attaching the fenders, it is important to use a secure method.

Generally, the best way to do this is to use a pre-tied loop that is designed for this purpose.

The loop should be at least twice as long as the width of the vessel, and it should be secured around the vessels cleats or stanchions.

Once the loop is secure, the fender can be attached to the loop and tightened.

This will ensure that the fender is in the correct position and will not come loose.

It is also important to check the fenders regularly to ensure that they are in good condition.

If any of the fenders are damaged or worn, they should be replaced.

Additionally, be sure to check the mooring lines and anchors periodically to make sure they are secure and in good condition.

By following these steps, you can rest assured that your catamaran is safely parked and protected.

With the right knowledge and preparation, parking a catamaran can be a breeze.

Taking Extra Safety Measures

When parking a catamaran, it’s always important to take extra safety measures.

This is especially true if you are parking your vessel in an area that is prone to wind and waves.

To ensure the safety of your catamaran, you should equip it with the necessary safety gear before parking.

This includes life jackets, flares, a fire extinguisher, and a boat hook.

You should also make sure that the anchor is securely attached and all of the mooring lines are long enough to reach the desired location.

Additionally, its a good idea to have a few extra fenders onboard, just in case you need to protect the vessel from any surrounding objects.

Taking these extra safety measures will help to ensure that your catamaran is safely parked and ready to go.

Final Thoughts

Parking a catamaran may seem like a daunting task, but by following the tips and tricks provided by experts, you can do it with ease and confidence.

Before attempting to park a catamaran, it is important to assess the area and pick a spot that is sheltered from wind and waves.

Once the catamaran is in position, double-check that the lines are secure and the anchor is set.

Finally, apply the brakes and attach the fenders to protect the vessel from any surrounding objects.

With these steps, you can be sure that your catamaran is parked safely and securely.

Now that you know how to park a catamaran, you can go out and put your newfound knowledge into practice!

6 Beaches for Budding Swimmers, Surfers and Castle Builders

For families with children, we found half a dozen beaches in the United States and Mexico, each tailored to a particular summer activity.

The small hands of two children can be seen building sand castles with pails and molds in fine, beige beach sand.

By Freda Moon

A family beach vacation is an American classic. But depending on their children’s ages and inclinations, some families may be drawn to different kinds of shorelines: those featuring clear, calm water for snorkeling and learning to swim; or, for shell collectors and young naturalists, sandy stretches carpeted with seashells or bordered by tide pools. For castle builders, fine sand is a must, while would-be surfers need tidy waves, ready to ride. Here are six great beaches in the United States and Baja California for family-favorite summer activities.

For castle builders: Mission Beach , San Diego

San Diego’s temperate climate allows for barefoot beach days year-round. For those who’d rather build with sand than lie in it, Mission Beach has another advantage: San Diego Sand Castles and the sand sculptor JT Estrela. Mr. Estrela, a former math teacher, offers lessons in the art of sand castle construction on this family-friendly Southern California beach, where the sand is perfect for castle building: The grains are fine but not too silty, clean below the tide line, free of shells and rocks, and pack hard.

In his two-to-three-hour sessions (starting at $160 for two people, $20 for each additional person), Mr. Estrela works with families to build elaborate five-foot-tall castles. The goal is for participants to “feel like this insider of arcane knowledge,” he said.

While the best sand in the San Diego area is at the offshore city of Coronado in San Diego Bay, Mr. Estrela prefers working with families at Mission Beach. Known for its boardwalk amusement park, Belmont Park ; historic beachfront swimming pool, the Plunge ; and excellent playgrounds, it’s particularly fun for kids. The smell of cotton candy and hot dogs hangs in the air, mingling with shrieks from the Giant Dipper, Belmont’s 1925 wooden roller coaster, squawking sea gulls and salt spray. Its biggest downside is its popularity, which means parking can be a challenge.

For new swimmers: Onekahakaha Beach Park , Hilo, Hawaii

In an archipelago known for spectacular beaches, Onekahakaha Beach Park , on the rugged, volcanic coast of the Big Island, may seem a counterintuitive choice. At Onekahakaha, with its two large, sandy-bottomed ocean pools enclosed by lava rock walls and backed by palm trees and an expansive grassy lawn, the sand is mostly below the surface.

Separated from the Pacific Ocean’s notoriously powerful waves and rip currents, the seawater within the pools is warm and placid, protected and shallow, which makes it excellent for little kids learning to swim, as well as for older kids to snorkel. It’s also home to nonthreatening marine life (no sharks here), including green sea turtles.

Though the water is only about waist-deep on an adult, there are lifeguards, adding to Onekahakaha’s reputation for safety. And without a wide swath of sand between the pools and the shoreline path, the water is accessible for strollers and wheelchairs. There’s also a swing set, picnic tables and proximity to the lush Hilo area.

As long as you’re on the Big Island, the site of several active volcanoes, visit the thermal pools alongside some of its beaches, including Pohoiki Black Sand Beach at Isaac Hale Beach Park , 40 miles south of Onekahakaha. The ocean there may be a bit rough for young swimmers, but it’s a great place to show children a fresh lava flow.

For would-be surfers: Wrightsville Beach , N.C.

Wrightsville Beach is considered by many surf historians to be the home of East Coast surfing and one of the first places outside Polynesia and the Pacific Rim for the sport to catch on .

It also has some of the best beginner’s breaks in the United States , said Sean Griffin, 37, a surfing instructor and the father of a 5-year-old, who started riding the local break when he was 8.

He points out that Wrightsville is the only surfing beach in the state that has clear, blue water. Being able to see one’s hands and feet and the sandy bottom “makes anyone feel more comfortable in the ocean,” he said.

At Surf With Sean , Mr. Griffin offers private 90-minute lessons ($95 to $120) to surfers as young as 3 and into their 80s, as well as surf camps for kids ($425 per week). “There’s no reason they shouldn’t be able to learn or give it a shot,” said Mr. Griffin, who provides all gear in all sizes, including adaptive equipment.

There’s more to the area’s kid appeal than its waves. Mr. Griffin points to Johnnie Mercers Fishing Pier , at the center of the beach, where his son “loves seeing all the salty fisherman pulling in fish,” and the big, modern playground at Wrightsville Beach Park .

For tide pool explorers: Carkeek Park , Seattle

Naomi Tomky — a lifelong Seattleite, author of “ The Pacific Northwest Seafood Cookbook ” and mother of two daughters, 6 and 8 — recommends Carkeek Park in Seattle for an immersive experience in Puget Sound marine life. At low tide, Ms. Tomky said, the narrow beach “just goes out for ages,” exposing tide pools filled with starfish, sea snails, anemones and “many, many crabs, from the size of your fingernail to the size of your hand.”

Unlike tide-pooling elsewhere on the West Coast, where the powerful Pacific Ocean requires caution because of dangerous sneaker waves , Puget Sound is rich with life but calm enough for Ms. Tomky to let her daughters explore on their own.

Just 30 minutes from downtown Seattle, Carkeek is part of the Seattle Aquarium’s Beach Naturalist Program , which sends naturalists to various shorelines around the area.

Along with the below-the-tide-line intrigue, Carkeek is also known for an annual spectacle: spawning salmon. In the fall, it’s possible to stand over the park’s Piper’s Creek and watch the fish — a sacred Indigenous symbol of the Pacific Northwest — on the run.

“It’s one of the coolest things you can see,” said Ms. Tomky, “to understand how these fish share the city with us as they swim back into their former home.”

For shell hunters: Tigertail Beach , Marco Island, Fla.

Sanibel Island, a barrier island just off Fort Myers, Fla., is one of the most famous shelling destinations on the planet. That popularity comes with a downside: It’s often picked over by enthusiasts who hit the shoreline at dawn. The island is also still recovering from Hurricane Ian, which badly damaged its infrastructure in 2022.

As an alternative, the shelling guide Evan Kuperman (a.k.a. Captain Evan) recommends Tigertail Beach on Marco Island, about an hour south.

Mr. Kuperman, a Florida master naturalist , operates Sand Dollar Shelling Tours . His tours ($125 per adult, $90 per child, and families of up to six people for $650) take guests by boat to places like the Ten Thousand Islands , a mangrove mud flat habitat and National Wildlife Refuge.

For visitors unable to join one of his trips, Mr. Kuperman said that Tigertail, a publicly accessible beach ($8 parking fee), offers exceptional shelling.

Marco Island is more built up than Sanibel, but Tigertail, at the island’s north end, is a county-owned park with a lagoon and a position facing the Gulf of Mexico that lends itself to accumulating seashells, including rare and striking ones, like the spiny ornamented lace murex and reddish brown banded tulip .

But everyone is hoping for a junonia, or Juno’s volute, a sea snail that has to travel far in churning waters to reach the beach intact. “You don’t find it,” said Mr. Kuperman, “it finds you.”

For young snorkelers: Playa el Chileno , Los Cabos, Mexico

About halfway between bustling Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, Playa el Chileno is no longer an undeveloped local secret. Now backed by the sprawling Auberge resort Chileno Bay Resort & Residences , the beach remains public and comparatively tranquil. Awarded the Blue Flag certification for meeting stringent environmental standards, Chileno is exceptionally well maintained.

While catamaran snorkeling tours come and go from Chileno Bay, it’s also possible to reach the reef from the shore, which makes it good for inexperienced snorkelers who might find it intimidating to leap into deep water without easing their way in. High Tide Sea Expeditions offers snorkeling excursions via kayak that start at nearby Playa Santa Maria, hug the coast and arrive at Chileno by water. For younger kids and anyone who prefers more time in the water, there’s a guided two-hour tour that visits both beaches by car ($95 to $130 per person, including equipment).

Among the roughly 50 species of fish that snorkelers might encounter along Chileno’s rocky outcroppings and coral reef, there are large tuna, sea turtles, puffer fish, Panamic green moray eels, Cortez angelfish and blacknosed butterflyfish — among many other colorful creatures. The coral here is less vibrant than some places, but the number and variety of fish are thrilling.

Freda Moon, a frequent contributor to the Travel section, lives on a boat in San Francisco Bay with her husband and two kids. Her upcoming National Geographic book with the coauthor Ashley Harrell, “100 Beaches of a Lifetime,” will be published next year.

Things To Do

Subscriber only, travel | travel: ka’anapali resort on west maui makes a comeback.

catamaran resort parking

As we ran steadily north from the resort, the morning light caught the mountaintops of neighboring Lanai and Molokai islands across the Pailolo and Au’au channels to the west. Lacy ocean waves gently lapped the shore and a few moored excursion catamarans bobbed placidly in the calm, windless conditions. To the east, the West Maui mountains were draped in mist and low-lying clouds, backlit by a rising sun. It was Maui’s morning magic at its best: quiet, serene and breathtakingly beautiful.

Reaching the Sheraton Maui Resort, set on the jagged volcanic Pu’u Keka’a (aka Black Rock) promontory, we maneuvered around a few buildings to transition from South Ka’anapali Beach to North Ka’anapali (aka Airport) Beach. Just past the historic Keka’a landing pier, I watched a family of sea turtles surface just offshore, raising their heads above the water as they commuted to their favorite feeding spot.

The most extraordinary thing about this morning jaunt along the beach was the emptiness of it all. Just a handful of people passed us on the path and the long expanse of Ka’anapali sand was almost devoid of strollers, beach-goers and swimmers. Having visited West Maui post-pandemic and about eight months before the fires, and busy Wailea in South Maui in February, this emptiness was indeed a strange sight: Ka’anapali beaches and pathways are almost always busy with walkers and runners enjoying morning wellness rituals and fresh air. But not today and, most likely, not in the near future, as the impact of the devastating fires that destroyed much of the nearby town of Lahaina last summer continues to affect the West Maui region and the island as a whole.

The fires dealt a serious blow to Maui’s economy and thousands of Lahaina locals lost their homes, businesses and jobs. Almost 100 residents lost their lives. “When is right time to visit Maui again? What is the best way to help?” Hawaii travelers asked themselves as tourism slowed to a crawl.

In March, the go-ahead signal came from Hawaii’s state and Maui’s county governments, and from the islanders too. Spread the word, they said: “Makaukau Maui” or “Maui is ready” in the Hawaiian language. And while the physical, economic and emotional recovery of Lahaina and its community will take many years, perhaps decades, there really couldn’t be a better time to visit West Maui, where most resorts and hotels are open again and welcoming visitors with the aloha spirit. Better yet: most Ka’anapali resorts are offering discount pricing and enticing packages — a rarity in the Islands, especially on Maui.

Where to stay

The Westin Maui Resort & Spa Ka’anapali

My deluxe digs at the Westin Maui Resort & Spa Ka’anapali were high up in the fabulous 217-room Hokupa’a tower. The recently remodeled Hokupa’a rooms provide wide ocean views and exclusive access to a club level called “The Lanai”, a great place to enjoy a drink and included breakfast and dinner pupus. The club’s shallow pool with in-water chaise lounges is dreamy place to enjoy a sunset and drinks crafted by their expert mixologists. Complimentary breakfast and dinner pupus, and all-day snack and non-alcoholic drinks are also provided.

The Westin Maui is putting the finishing touches on a property-wide, multi-million-dollar transformation, which also includes the redesigned Kukahi Tower and the debut of Hana Hou by Westin — a 10,000-square-foot social center with a state-of-the-art arcade games, two Topgolf swing suites, and a bar and lounge. It’s the first amenity of its kind at a Hawaii resort and is slated to open to the public at the end of May. The Westin Maui also recently launched Ulu Kitchen — the resort’s signature breakfast, lunch and dinner experience in partnership with acclaimed Hawaii chef Peter Merriman (be sure to check out the Monkeypod mai tai flapjacks with Kula rum butter syrup, honey lilikoi foam and the saimin-style “Cure” for breakfast, the ahi poke bowl for lunch and the delicious grilled macadamia nut mahi mahi for dinner.)

The Westin also boasts one the best oceanfront pool complexes in Ka’anapali, with a large kids pool with two open-air slides, and several quieter pools, one with a waterfall and two others for adults only. A small infinity pool has a sandy bottom to wiggle your toes while soaking in the view. Numerous poolside cabanas offer waterside privacy for an extra charge. The resort offers a unique RunWestin program for runners as well as a daily yoga sessions for those who love to stretch and pose.

The Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa

In a spectacular location at the far northern end of Ka’anapali Beach, the Sheraton is committed to supporting its associates and neighbors who are still healing and providing travelers a myriad of ways to support the Maui economy by buying local, participating in volunteer experiences, and donating to those affected. In pursuit of these goals, Sheraton Maui Resort launched three new offerings, including a Return to Maui package with a donation earmarked for each stay, a “Malama at Your LEI-sure” fundraising initiative in collaboration with a local artist, and a Discover More of Maui with enhanced programming to discover local artisans and island destinations. Stroll the Ka’anapali path to the Sheraton around sunset to enjoy the hotels’ Hawaiian music and hula shows and the traditional Lele Kawa cliff-diving ceremony at Pu’u Keka’a every evening.

Outrigger Ka’anapali Beach Resort

With a recently remodeled wing of premium rooms and newly acquired by Outrigger Resorts & Hotels, the property (formerly known as the Ka’anapali Beach Hotel) offers one of the best values in the Ka’anapali resort.

Hotel guests can enjoy complimentary Hawaiian cultural experiences from a team of cultural practitioners, including kukui nut lei-making, hula, and bamboo stamp making workshops, and classes in Olelo, the native Hawaiian language. Class sizes are limited and are held at the Kawenaokeao Cultural Center in the lobby.

Facing the beach and ocean, the breezy space that once housed the resort’s Hui Hui restaurant is now an outlet of the family-friendly Maui Brewing Company, a great place to enjoy a few cold, locally made brews, pub fare like fish tacos and seared ahi tuna salad, and, of course, take in the unforgettable West Maui sunsets. Details: outrigger.com/hawaii/maui/kaanapali-beach-resort-hotel
