How To Rent Out 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.

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.

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.

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.

If you do not require a crew, you can opt for what is called a bareboat sailing, where you are on your own to do all the food prep, serving and cleaning. It is really up to you which one suits your needs the best.

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.
