Selecting The Catamaran Charter Boat

By Lisa Davis


You are vacationing to a group of islands known as one of the best sailing destination within the Caribbean Sea. You got excited to travel in a yacht as you go island hopping each day. The amenities available inside the yacht were enjoyed very much by your group. That specific yacht is known to them as the BVI Catamaran charter.

The British Virgin Islands, or Natures Little Secret as the locals calls it, is composed of both large and small islands. Its main islands, Anegada, Jost Van Dyke, Tortola, and Virgin Gorda, are among the most popular island destinations by tourists. There are travel guides that are available at online travel sites like Online Cruising Guides which can readily be downloaded. These will serve as your basis on where to go and what to do in each isle you are visiting.

Of course, travelling is not complete without having a means for transport. The company has yachts offered known as bareboat Catamaran fleets. The word was adapted from the Tamil word that equates to logs tied together.

The sailing boat has two hulls parallel to each other and is of the same lengths. The boat deck connects the two hulls together. Cabins in larger vessels can be found at the deck and inside the hulls. At times, there is a rigid deck that has a trampoline making the hulls face forward.

Varying lengths, accommodation, and sizes of sail boats are offered by the company. The size depends upon the number of participants in your group. It holds up to fourteen people in a vessel. The smallest is only at 39 feet long while the largest spans to more than 45 feet long. Medium sized sail boats is between 40 to 44 feet.

Of course, a boat is not complete if it has no facilities and amenities. A small Cat sailing boat can accommodate eight to ten people. It has three to four double cabins, two comfort rooms, and has no available air conditioning. If there is, the air conditioning is shore side powered.

It is suitable to rent a medium sized Cat if you reach a number of twelve people. They installed the generator inside to power the air conditioning within. Rooms available are one bunk cabin and four double cabins. There are four comfort rooms found in every corner.

If you have a maximum of fourteen people, then it is better to avail the large Cat sail boat. Like the medium sized one, its air conditioning is powered by a generator. It has four double cabins and two bunk cabins. Comfort rooms are composed of five to six which are spaced apart within the boat.

Each size has a corresponding bonus features within the boat or the company has given you. In small ones, the boat has a chart plotter, GPS and autopilot, along with snorkeling and safety gear, cellphone and VHF, and chart and cruising guide. Medium sized has saloon TV, fusion DVD sound system, underwater lights, and cockpit fridge and ice maker. Large sizes have settee on fore deck with awning, water maker, transom gas barbeque, and GPS with wind instrument and autopilot.
