I'm at the Miami Boat show here on the Fountaine Pajot Summerland 40 powercat. Power catamarans are becoming much more popular for private ownership and charter.

The Fountaine Pajot Summerland 40.

The Summerland 40 has a really good layout and nice flow. You come in on the same level from the outside, which is an open cockpit. Here you have a very workable galley to starboard, and a dinette to port that will probably seat 5 or 6. And then you go forward to a helm station that is fit for a king.

The Summerland 40 has a master stateroom that takes up the whole starboard hull. It starts with the bed athwartships, then a head with a separate stall shower, and then a technical room, where you have the genset, and an optional freezer.
