FACTS ABOUT A CATAMARAN VACATION IN THE CARIBBEAN
A Caribbean sailing vacation aboard a fully crewed Catamaran is like sailing your private resort from island to island. Catamarans are the most popular style of sailing vessel all around the world. They are best suited to calm seas conditions, in such cruising areas as the Caribbean Island Chain, the Bahamas, and most of the Mediterranean.
Catamaran are designed with two separate hulls that contain anywhere from three to five ensuite staterooms. These staterooms are located in what is referred to as the lower deck. Joining the two hulls is the main deck. The main deck consisted of a foredeck for lounging and sunbathing, an enclosed salon with a galley, and possibly a small bar. Also located on the main deck is the aft cockpit for additional shaded seating and a table for an al fresco dining experience
The aft section of the two hulls is what is referred to as the sugar scoops. These sugar scoops provide stairways for easy access down to the water’s edge to go swimming or for getting in or out of the tender.
Some Catamarans offer an upper deck where the helm station is located. Aboard the larger Catamarans, this area is referred to as the Sky Lounge, which if large enough, provides additional seating with a table for alfresco dining. If the Sky Lounge is large enough, there can also be a small bar, a bar-b-que, and even a jacuzzi with room to sunbath in a few lounge chairs. Needless to say, this area is an extremely popular place for guests to gather to appreciate the uninterrupted 360 degree view of their beautiful surroundings.
A feature gaining popularity onboard some of the newer Catamarans is what is referred to as a pass-through. This pass-through allows direct and easy passage from the salon to the foredeck, where you will find more exterior seating with possibly a small cocktail table. The foredeck also offers more great space for lounging and sun bathing. This pass-through enhances the safety factor for many guest and small children by eliminating the walk along the Port and Starboard walkways getting to the foredeck.
WHAT THE CARIBBEAN ISLAND CHAIN HAS TO OFFER
You will find fully crewed Catamarans throughout the Caribbean, such as the Virgin Islands, Sint Maarten/Saint Martin, Antigua, and the Grenadines.
The Caribbean Islands Chain is one of the world’s most popular sailing vacation destinations. This area is known for its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant cultures.
