Choices For Renting A BVI Catamaran Charter

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.

You may have been on a sailboat or even a yacht before, but those are not the same as a catamaran. This is a special kind of boat that has two hulls that are connected in the middle by some kind of material or structure. For smaller vessels, the material could be super strong webbing that is comfortable to sit on. For larger ones, the bridge between the hulls may be large enough for multiple passengers.

Most of the catamarans in the BVI are of the smaller or medium variety, and not the supersized ones that can haul cargo. They are that way because smaller vessels are best for exploring the more than 60 islands and cays that comprise the British Virgin Islands. A huge ship or yacht would simply not be able to get into some of the areas between the islands, as they may be too wide or deep to fit. A catamaran would not have these issues most of the time.

Because of the hulls, the boat is lower to the water, which means you can lean over the hull and take a look at the water, which is beautiful and clear. In shallower waters, you can see down to the sand at the coral or seaweed. Being lower to the ground allows you to easily use the ladder or cockpit extension to get into the water for a relaxing swim or some snorkeling. Your return to the boat is also easier this way.

Some charter services will take you out just for a day or for a sunset type cruise. Others will rent to you for a week or more, for people who really want ot relax out on the open water for days at a time. Some companies will offer a discount if you book in advance for more than a week. If you book during off peak times, you may also be able to get a deal, so do not hesitate to ask if there is a lower price.

When you make your reservation, you can decide to be truly pampered and reserve a crew of a captain to do the sailing and navigating, and a hostess to attend to all your other needs.

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.

Most have at least a seating area with a table and padded seats that can accommodate many. Others have a large section below deck with one or more cabins and bathrooms. Each cabin can sleep at least two, while some can sleep up to four. The bathrooms have showers, sinks and toilets along with clean, running water.
