How much fuel does a power cat burn?
At 18 kts cruise: ~80-120 L/h. At 10 kts displacement: ~25-40 L/h. Budget €1,000-€2,500 for a week depending on how fast you push.
Do I need a licence for a power cat?
Yes — same Mediterranean charter licence (ICC + VHF). Some operators ask for prior power-boat handling; we flag any operator-specific rules.
Are power cats noisier than sailing cats?
Under engine, yes — but at displacement speed (8-10 kts) the diesels are quiet. At cruise (15+ kts) you'll hear them in the cabins.
Can I take a power cat across the Atlantic?
Most charter power cats have 350-700 nm range — not transatlantic. They're cruising boats for the Med, Caribbean and SE Asia, not bluewater.
