One of the best parts of living on Ono Island — https://www.searchthegulf.com/ono-island/ or in Orange Beach — https://www.searchthegulf.com/orange-beach/ is that boating isn’t just a weekend activity, it’s part of everyday life. Whether I’m talking with neighbors at the dock, showing a waterfront property with a private boathouse, or watching the traffic pass through Perdido Pass, I can always count on seeing some of the most impressive center consoles on the Gulf Coast. Recently, one boat has been turning heads more than most: the Caymas 34 CT Catamaran.
The Caymas 34 CT is a luxury offshore fishing catamaran designed to perform in big water — exactly what we have in the Gulf of Mexico. With twin or quad Mercury V10 engines, this boat can run comfortably in chop and still reach speeds that make a trip to the oil rigs or deep-water trolling grounds a reality in a single afternoon.
One local boater told me, “This boat rides like a Cadillac over three-foot chop — it makes the Gulf feel smaller.” I couldn’t agree more. For Gulf Coast anglers, the catamaran hull design delivers stability, speed, and fuel efficiency. For families, it means a smoother ride when cruising to favorite spots like Robinson Island, Pirate’s Cove, or over to Pensacola Beach.
What I love about the Caymas 34 CT is how versatile it is. The layout is perfect for serious anglers with oversized fish boxes, livewells, and ample storage, but it also has forward lounge seating and comfortable helm chairs, making it just as practical for entertaining or sunset cruising.
On Ono Island, I often hear neighbors say how important it is to have a boat that balances both fishing and family use. The Caymas 34 CT does exactly that. It’s the kind of boat that looks just as natural pulling into Zeke’s Marina for lunch as it does headed offshore at sunrise.
For homeowners with private docks and boathouses on Ono Island or waterfront properties in Orange Beach, the Caymas 34 CT is a perfect match. With a beam of nearly 11 feet and a draft under two feet, it’s easy to keep on a lift, yet substantial enough to handle offshore trips.
Here’s what makes it especially appealing for Gulf Coast living:
Offshore Capability: Run confidently to bluewater fishing grounds.
Smooth Ride: Catamaran hull minimizes pounding in Gulf chop.
Dockside Flexibility: Draft allows access to canals and back bays.
Family-Friendly: Forward seating and open layout for relaxing days on the water.
Resale Value: Premium boats like Caymas hold their value — especially in boating communities like Ono Island.
When I see a Caymas 34 CT tied up at an Ono Island dock, it tells me something about the owner: they value performance, but they also value comfort and lifestyle. These boats aren’t just about fishing — they’re about making the most of living on the water.
As a Gulf Coast real estate advisor, I always tell buyers that boating amenities are one of the most valuable aspects of waterfront living here. Having a boat like the Caymas 34 CT right in your backyard dock or boathouse makes Orange Beach and Ono Island living even more special.
If you’re looking for a waterfront home that can accommodate a boat like this, I’d love to help you find the perfect property where your boating lifestyle and home ownership come together seamlessly.
