Virgin Island Sailing Vacation

A large array of sizes and designs of boats are used for sailing vacations, but the Catamaran offers distinct advantages for these types of cruises. While catamarans may not perform as well in stormy waters, they provide a much more stable cruise than single hulled boats. Chartering a catamaran is a wise choice if you intend to cruise the bays and coves of tropical islands.

The small draft of a catamaran makes it possible to anchor in shallow bays or very close to the beach, which makes it more convenient for families and children. This makes for a more enjoyable sailing vacation. Minimum heeling and more stability can mean less seasickness and the dinghy location is more convenient as it is pulled into the davits aft between the catamaran's hulls. Catamaran's can be faster as they are lighter and can carry a bigger sail due to their lateral stability.

The biggest advantage by far is the size of the deck on the catamaran. You have twin deck surfaces on top of each hull, and there is the large flat area between each hull, which often has a large trampoline area where people can stand or sit at their leisure. This means the sailing experience is more interactive and sailors can see directly down into the water and experience a feeling of floating just above the water.

Divers and scuba divers can jump into the water much more easily than with a single hulled boat. There is more room with greater distance away from the prop area.

You'll find the Scubadu sailing adventure is a far better experience than you'll have with a single hulled charter boat. Catamaran boats are the only way to go for the best Virgin Island sailing vacation. Scubadu sails the waters of St Thomas, St John and the BVI. Book your sailing cruise today.
