Selecting The Catamaran Charter Boat

By Lisa Davis


You and your group of friends had planned a vacation tour to that wonderful and amazing Caribbean island you have been hearing about. Your means of transport for your island hopping was a yacht. You enjoyed the complete amenities that marine vessel have. What you rode before was a BVI Catamaran charter.

Nicknamed as Natures Little Secret, these are composed of islands that range from small to large. British Virgin Islands has four main islands that are popular to tourists. These are Anegada, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, and Tortola. You can search for available travel guides online at travel websites such as Online Cruising Guides. What you downloaded will be the basis for the places you want to visit.

However, your travel would not be completed without a sea transport vessel. The yachts that the company is going to offer are the bareboat Catamaran fleets. Catamaran or Cat for short means logs tied together which comes from the native word of Tamil.

The hulls are of the same size and are parallel with one another at the sides of the sailing boat. They are connected together by the boat deck. In larger vessels, the rooms are located on top and at the side hulls. Some vessels have trampolines which faces the hulls forward.

Your chosen vessel varies in length and in accommodation. The number of people in your group will depend on the size of the sail boat you are using. One vessel can hold two people while another can hold fourteen. In terms of sizes, a small one has 39 feet in length, medium ranges from 40 feet to 44 feet, and large spans 45 feet or more.

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.

For the medium Cat, it houses a maximum of twelve people. It has a generator powered air conditioning unlike small Cats. It has four double cabins with one bunk cabin as well. It also has four comfort rooms available in each 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 of those sizes has a bonus feature included and given. Chart plotter, cellphone, autopilot, VHF, GPS, snorkeling gear, chart and cruising guides, and safety gear are the additional inclusions in small Catamaran sail boats. Meanwhile, underwater lights, ice maker, cockpit fridge, saloon TV, and fusion DVD sound system are inclusions in the medium sized ones. Lastly, GPS with autopilot, wind instrument, transom gas barbeque, and water maker are in the large sized ones.
