Different Types of Marine Vessels


During this term I have studied different types of Marine Vessels, but before starting, what is a Marine Vessel? Well a marine vessel is a watercraft vehicle that is designed to float and move through water or on water.

There are different types of marine vessels:



Catamarans: this kind of vessel is a multihulled vessels provided with two hulled, kept at the edge of the boat and joined by some structure, they can be sailed or used with an engine power.









Canoes/ Kayaks: this vessel is a small and narrow boat, it is usually formed by a v hull and f=does not require the use of a motor because it is usually human powered and it is propelled by the use of paddles.













Hydrofoil: this marine vessel is not very common, it is wing structure build on struts below the hull of the boat, which lifts the boat partially out of the water when moving in order to reduce the drag.












Jet Skies: Are a smaller version of a marine vessel, it formed by a very sharp v hull and it propelled by an engine power, it usually goes very fast because it is less water resistent so more air passes through it allowwing it to go faster also thanks to the hull that makes it skims on the water.
