The saloons offer 360-degree views with big windows which also offers an abundance of natural light, a catamaran charter is great for the whole family.

Luxury Sailing. All catamarans offer luxury with comfortable beds and a spacious seating area, as well as outside areas to sunbathe or hangout. Some of the larger catamarans also offer small crew cabins, at the very front of the boat, for the skippers or hostesses to work onboard the yacht and accommodate requests, cook, and offer unique insights into the islands and the best places to stop and visit.
