US & BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS CATAMARAN YACHT CHARTERS & VACATIONS
Sailing catamarans have exploded onto the waters of the Virgin Islands over the past five years. It’s easy to see why so many people choose a sailing cat for this location. The catamaran design is stable, with huge wide cockpits for outdoor living. The beautiful water of the BVI beckons swimmers, snorkelers and scuba divers and the easy water access from the transom of the cats is ideal. You can also take advantage of the shallow draft to get right up close to the best reefs and beaches. Take advantage of the catamaran design with their layout of equal generous sized cabins with ensuite heads. The most popular choice for the Virgin Islands? A sailing catamaran!
Sailing cats are newer yacht option which means that few are over ten years old. Designs keep evolving and catamarans are growing ever larger as well as being a larger part of the charter yacht fleet. The twin hull of a catamaran makes it easy to design a layout that can have very equal accomodations which are perfect for groups of friends where several couples share the cost of the vacation.
Other cats will have a one whole hull master suite — huge and luxurious with plenty of privacy — ideal for honeymoons and anniversary trips. But the new larger built cats are now over 70′ in length and that can allow them to have very comfortable accomodations for from 10 to 12 guests with crew quarters for four. Complete amenities abound on cats built by Yaplunka, Sunreef, Lagoon, Fontaine Pajot or Catana.
Sail swiftly along on a reach with sails pulling you along full and fast — you still remain balanced and can walk around the full width cockpits that are like an outdoor living room. Lounge forward on the trampolines as the water rushes underneath you — what an exhilarating feeling.
Catamarans are seen in the bays along St. John and make quick work of the sail to St. Thomas or into the British Virgin Islands. With a large fleet with a variety of crew, catamarans are among the most popular yachts to charter in the Virgin Islands.
