Tri-hull boats have three hulls which makes them extremely stable, especially at rest. This stability makes them popular for activities like diving. However, tri-hulls tend to have a rougher ride compared to other hull designs. They also require more horsepower to get on plane.
There are debates around whether tri-hulls are actually safer in rough weather compared to other designs. Some owners boast they are good "for any weather short of a Category 3 hurricane" while others argue "mother nature wins when you do stupid moves."
