Verdict
A compact power catamaran with strong space efficiency, easy coastal handling, and good onboard comfort for up to six guests. It is less about outright speed and more about stable, practical cruising with a premium charter-oriented layout.
Avantages
- +Wide 21'8" beam supports generous living space and stability
- +Three-cabin, two-head layout suits families or small groups
- +Shallow 3'7" draft helps in coastal and island cruising
- +Twin Yanmar 320 hp engines provide confident power for a 40-foot catamaran
Inconvénients

- −Limited to 6 guests in the Moorings configuration
- −Performance is focused on comfort and cruising rather than sporty speed
- −High fuel use is likely compared with sail-driven alternatives
The Moorings 403 PC is a 40-foot power catamaran built around volume, stability, and easy access to cruising grounds. Its wide beam and relatively shallow draft give it the practical footprint many charter guests want, while the three-cabin layout keeps the boat aimed squarely at family and small-group use.
On the water, the twin 320 hp Yanmar setup gives the boat solid propulsion and straightforward maneuvering for a catamaran of this size. The design should feel predictable and stable underway, with handling that favors relaxed passage-making and marina work over sporty or high-adrenaline performance.
Inside, the 3-cabin/2-head arrangement is a clear strength, especially for six guests. The Moorings configuration also points to charter-friendly comfort, with a layout intended for livability rather than private-yacht extravagance.
Value depends on priorities: it offers good space and a proven charter format, but buyers or renters looking for sailing performance or lower running costs will find better fit in a true sailing catamaran. For those wanting easy, comfortable coastal cruising, it is a well-balanced option.
