Selecting The Catamaran Charter Boat

By Lisa Davis


When you planned the vacation tour to those islands at the Caribbean, you and your friends used a yacht as a means for travel. All of you enjoyed the marine vessel that took you sailing and island hopping. The company which you rented the yacht also has a vessel known as 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.

Traveling would be most convenient if you avail a sea transport. The company has available yachts called the bareboat Catamaran fleets. Shortened to Cat, this is derived from the Tamil word. Logs tied together is what it means in its native tongue.

This type of fleet is a watercraft that has two parallel hulls in equal lengths. The hulls are connected to the boat deck. For larger vessels, cabins are found on the deck and in the hulls. Some of them have a trampoline for a deck which makes the hulls go 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.

Amenities and facilities need to be naturally installed inside in order to be habitable. As long as your group has a maximum of ten people, the small Cat can accommodate you all. Available rooms are only four double cabins. It has two comfort rooms on each side of the hull. However, air conditioning is unavailable. Shore side air conditioning is only available on certain models.

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.

Meanwhile, a large Cat can hold for up to fourteen people. This also has an air conditioning which is powered by the installed generator. Sleeping rooms available are two bunk cabins plus four double cabins. There are fix to six comfort rooms widely spread in the sail 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.
