About SWATH Ocean

The Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull (SWATH) The key to a SWATH vessels stability are the two lower hulls that are completely submerged beneath the surface of the water (unlike a catamaran where the hulls ride on the surface of the water.) Research shows that the water is calmer just a few feet below the choppy surface. The SWATHs lower hulls, that provide buoyancy, are located in this calmer water which makes the boat ride much smoother which in turn gives you the feeling that you're on a much larger vessel.
