Catamaran Anapa - Yalta: cost, schedule

Since 2014, it has become a bit easier to get from the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus to the Crimea. A new route was added, which is carried out by the Anapa-Yalta catamaran. Due to the fact that the established connection with the peninsula was interrupted due to Ukraine's position on the Crimea's accession to Russia and all traffic of road and rail transport is carried out with the help of a ferry across the Kerch Strait, it was decided to use two catamarans "Sochi-1" and " Sochi-2 ". They walk between Anapa and Yalta. The intermediate point between them is Feodosia.

Description of the catamaran

The trip on the catamaran of Anapa-Yalta promises to be comfortable, as it is equipped with air conditioning and TV. Comfortable and comfortable passenger lounge resembles an airliner, where soft armchairs are located. However, those passengers who will sit in the middle of the cabin, will not see the sea, but you can admire them from the open deck, breathe the sea air. You can spend six hours without problems, time will fly by unnoticed.

On the catamaran there is a small buffet with soft drinks and ice cream. Traveling for six hours, fresh sea air arouse appetite, so take with you an easy snack, especially if you have children. Prices in the buffet are high.

The ship has two decks for passengers. On the upper deck is a passenger cabin and small open areas, located in the back and sides. The lower, more spacious, also has a passenger cabin and one small open area.

This vessel develops a speed of 30-55 knots per hour, that is, 55-100 km / h, which is pretty decent for maritime transport. The length of the catamaran is 40 meters, the width is just over 10 meters.

This type of vessel has become very popular in the world and accounts for more than half of all maritime transport. This is facilitated by technical characteristics that help to compete with others. First of all, it is a good seaworthiness, a small sediment, safety, simple construction, high speed, compared to others, a large passenger capacity, which sinks less than on ships of another type.

"Sochi-1" and "Sochi-2" can carry 300 people, the year of release - 1996, the manufacturer - Singapore, previously operated on the Anapa-Kerch route, but this route was closed.

Advantages and disadvantages

I want to note that a trip on a catamaran from Anapa to Yalta is, first of all, an unforgettable trip, which will be remembered for a long time. The time spent on sailing the Black Sea is much less than what will have to be spent on a trip through the Kerch Strait, for a long waiting for the queue for the ferry.

On a catamaran, by virtue of its design, you can swim to those who are afraid of pitching. Pitching on it is not as strong as on other ships. Comfortable conditions and high enough speed in comparison with the ships, where you can also get to Yalta.

The disadvantages include the high price of a ticket for the catamaran of Anapa - Yalta, reviews of tourists indicate exactly this problem. This is the main and most significant drawback, which keeps many holidaymakers from purchasing a ticket for a catamaran. Another disadvantage is the small open decks. But not the fact that this defect would be kept from traveling on such a beautiful and comfortable ship.

The disadvantages can be attributed to the fact that if the sea is stormy, flights are postponed. In this weather, catamarans do not go to sea.
