Four cabins is the configuration a catamaran was made for, and the reason is architectural rather than commercial. Two hulls provide four natural cabin positions, one forward and one aft in each, with the bridgedeck left entirely free for living space. No monohull achieves that separation at the same length. The Yacht Collection lists four cabin sailing catamarans.
The layout works because nothing is compromised to achieve it. Each cabin sits in the widest usable part of its hull, has its own heads and shower, and draws ventilation through hull ports and deck hatches on two sides. Acoustic separation between hulls is genuine, so guests keeping different hours do not disturb each other. The saloon, galley and cockpit sit above on the bridgedeck, level and open.
This is also the charter standard, which affects the market. Four cabin versions command a premium over owner versions with a full hull suite, they let out more readily and they resell faster. Even a private buyer should weigh that. The trade offs are weight and cost, since eight people plus stores in a weight sensitive platform demands honest tankage and disciplined loading, and beam means premium berthing everywhere.
