Rent A BVI Catamaran Charter For Your Next Vacation

By Carl Cooper


When choosing where to go for vacation, a beach locale is usually pretty high on most lists. A lot of people fly in and stay at a pricey resort, but there is another way to experience the locale, and that is from a boat. If you rent out a BVI Catamaran Charter, you will be able to see all the oceans surrounding the British Virgin Islands.

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.

You obviously do not want to vacation on a cargo catamaran, but the smaller ones are perfect for a family or romantic vacation for two, depending on the size. The fact that they are smaller than yachts or cruise ships is good, because they can then go just about anywhere around the more than 60 islands and cays that make up the BVI. You can leave no stone left unturned in approaching these islands, some of which are in pristine condition still.

Since the boats are low to the water, you can look over the edge and see all the sea life that is just below the surface. The waters in this area are so clear that you can see down to the sand in shallower water. The low profiles makes it easy to get into the water for swimming and snorkeling. Each model has some kind of ladder or even a cockpit extension to make it easy to get back on the boat as well.

There are many ways you can rent one of these out. You can take just a sunset cruise for a few hours, or go for a whole day to get away. Many people use the catamarans as a hotel of sorts, renting for a whole week or several weeks at a time. If you do rent for a whole week or more, discounts may be available. During off peak times when tourists are fewer, you may also be able to negotiate a discount.

You can rent with a crew that includes a captain and a hostess. The captain will take care of the transportation aspect, while a hostess will help with any needs you have such as food and drink.

If you would prefer to have some privacy while on board and like to do things yourself, then ask for what is called a bareboat sailing. This means you do not have a crew on board, so you are on your own to take care of everything.

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.
