    Abstract: A multi-hull vessel having a first hull and a second hull. The multi-hull vessel has a connecting structure, via which the first hull is connected to the second hull. The connecting structure has a displacement bearing for partially guiding a change of a position of the first hull relative to the second hull. The connecting structure is configured so that the displacement bearing is connected to the first hull via a compensating connection. The compensating connection has one or more degrees of freedom for reducing a bearing load of the displacement bearing.
