Why Take a BVI Catamaran Charter?

With so many ways to experience the British Virgin Islands, you may wonder what makes renting a catamaran special.

There are several reasons. Many catamarans offer spacious accommodations, covered main decks, and flybridges with 360-degree views. These boats have two hulls, making them more stable than a traditional monohull sailboat. The two-hull design also allows for spacious living areas and increased privacy.

In addition to spaciousness and stability, catamarans have spacious front deck areas, which are great for sunbathing. The increased space also allows for many water toys, such as stand-up paddleboards (SUPs), kayaks, water skis, and towable toys. Some catamarans even have onboard dive compressors and scuba gear.

Many catamarans have two crew members. The captain and a chef/first mate. Larger catamarans may have more crew members. Generally, a larger catamaran with more crew provides a higher level of service. Smaller catamarans are also very enjoyable. You’ll want to consider the size of your group and the level of service you wish to enjoy when choosing a boat.

You may also choose to bareboat charter a catamaran. However, you will miss out on the service, local knowledge, and excellent meals onboard a crewed catamaran charter.
