Buy why would anyone opt for a Nautical-Craft. The answer is... so they'll arrive in better shape.
This is so true when making an offshore trip to exotic destinations like Pulau Tioman (120nm), Pulau Bawah (140nm), Anambas (180nm). Its easy for a 60 foot Cabin Cruiser to cruise there at 16 - 24 knots in relative comfort. But for a small craft, the faster you arrive at these destinations. the better it is for you. It is unlikely that anyone will be able to sleep along the way or have a decent rest when cruising in a boat less than 36 foot & under 6 tons.When the seas go beyond Sea State 2 (Beaufort state 3), you will have to throttle back to 15kts max. With the Nauti-Cat suspension system, you'll probably be able to maintain the SOA (speed of advance) of 25 kts in similar conditions.
