What
is Required to charter a Bareboat Catamaran?
In order to bareboat charter you must have a
reasonable amount of sailing experience on similar sized boats. You will be asked to fill
out a sailing resume. Sailing School Certificates are helpful, but hands-on
experience is more important. If there is any question about your skills during your briefing a
captain will go out with you for a while to determine your bareboat ability and comfort
level.
Sailing your own yacht in the British Virgin Islands
or any of our other locations throughout the Caribbean, is
like no other vacation. So many who have experienced this wonderful trip have come back
time and again. You get up when you want to, sail where you want to, swim, dive, snorkel,
eat, sleep, drink, beach comb, you name it, when and where you want to.
The weather changes
very little from one season to the next, always around the 80's during the day. The evenings usually cool
down with a nice breeze, an occasional shower in the 70's. The water is always warm and crystal clear.
Why catamarans?
The demand for catamarans has increased over the last few
years for good reason. They are wonderful boats for families and friends. They offer so
much more space, comfort and privacy. The stability is appreciated by everyone, especially
those prone to seasickness. And for those who think they are giving up some of the thrill
of putting the rail to the wave, the speed of a catamaran should give you some excitement.
The shallow draft allows you access to many private beaches and coves other boats cannot
enjoy. |
