Choices For Renting A BVI Catamaran Charter

By Carl Cooper


The British Virgin Islands is among the most beautiful destinations in the world. You could simply fly in and enjoy the crystal blue waters from the beach. But to really experience the surrounding ocean, you should do it from a vessel. Luckily, there are many BVI catamaran charter companies available to help you accomplish this.

A catamaran is quite different from a normal sailboat or yacht. Some are equipped with sails only, while others are equipped with both an engine and sails. They are constructed using two hulls, with something connecting them in the middle. On smaller ones, the connector might be a simple, strong webbing, while on others it is a large metal structure that may be big enough to haul cargo.

There are really large catamarans that can haul cargo, but most of the ones you will find in the British Virgin Islands are smaller. This is great for you, because it means that they can get closer to the more than 60 cays and islands that comprise the BVI. If you are in a boat that is too large, then they may not be able to make it close to these islands or between them. Catamarans would be able to go just about anywhere, but still have plenty of room for your family.

Each one is relatively low to the water, so you could reach out from the side of the boat and touch the water. That also makes it easier to go swimming, as most have a ladder or cockpit extension that will help you get in and out of the water easily. The lower profile means that you get a clear look at the water, and can see all the creatures in it, which makes the entire trip much more scenic as well.

You can rent out the boat for just a day or weekend, or even for a few hours on a sunset cruise. However, most people rent for an entire week, using the catamaran as their hotel and resort in one. You may even be able to get a discount on the total cost for renting for a week or more. Ask about special off season discounts as well, which can really save you money on this dream vacation opportunity.

If you would like to vacation in the lap of luxury, then you can rent a boat with a crew. This means a hostess and captain who will take care of you and your guests.

You can also opt to go with a bareboat sailing. This means that you do not have any staff on board, so that means you will have to act as skipper and get the boat to where you want to go, and you will also have to make and serve your own food and drinks.

The smallest boats may only have a kitchen and common area with table and seating. Others have cabins below deck with beds that can sleep either one or two people each. There is also a bathroom on board, and with the larger models, there may even be more than one bathroom with a shower, sink and toilet.
