With catamaran charters available in this breathtaking Caribbean destination, your dream sailing vacation is closer than ever.
Embracing the Comfort and Stability of Catamaran Sailing
Catamarans epitomize modern sailing luxury. Unlike monohulls, known for their agility and traditional sailing experience, catamarans are celebrated for their stability, spaciousness, and comfort. When you opt for a catamaran charter, you're choosing a sailing experience that combines relaxation with adventure, perfect for both families and groups seeking an unforgettable vacation.
Catamarans are designed to remain level, even in stronger winds, offering a smooth and comfortable ride. This stability not only enhances safety but also provides a more enjoyable experience for those prone to seasickness. The wide decks and spacious interiors allow for plenty of relaxation and socializing, making every journey a pleasurable one.

The BVI Is a Sailor's Paradise
For all sailors, the Caribbean offers an unrivaled playground of azure waters, consistent trade winds, and diverse marine landscapes. Navigare Yachting, with its award-winning BVI destination and operations out of Nanny Cay, presents an exceptional opportunity to explore this paradise aboard a catamaran yacht. Here’s why catamaran charters are an excellent choice for exploring the Caribbean:
The Comfort and Space of Catamarans
Catamarans are known for their generous living spaces and comfort. Their twin-hull design provides a stable and spacious platform, perfect for lounging, dining, and socializing. The expansive decks and roomy salons make catamarans ideal for families and groups, offering ample space to relax and enjoy the stunning Caribbean surroundings.
Superior Stability and Accessibility
One of the key advantages of catamarans is their superior stability, which allows for easier movement on board and a more comfortable experience. This is particularly beneficial for those new to sailing or those who prefer a steadier vessel. Additionally, the shallow draft of catamarans allows access to secluded coves and anchorages that may be off-limits to deeper-draft monohulls.
Exploring the BVI with a Catamaran
Catamarans embody the essence of modern sailing. For sailors heading to the BVI, this means a luxurious engagement with the sea and the elements. The level sailing, ample deck space, and the sound of the water against the hull create a sailing experience that is both relaxing and profoundly satisfying.
Navigating a catamaran is a breeze, requiring less heeling and offering a steadier platform. This provides an opportunity to focus on the beauty of the BVI, from its crystal-clear waters to its vibrant marine life. For those looking to combine the thrill of sailing with the comfort of a luxurious floating home, a catamaran charter is the perfect choice.

However, the region also offers a variety of sailing conditions, from tranquil anchorages to more challenging passages. This diversity allows sailors to enjoy a dynamic and engaging sailing adventure.
BVI Bareboat Charters
For seasoned sailors, a bareboat catamaran charter offers the ultimate freedom. You have complete control over your itinerary, allowing you to explore at your own pace. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a mix of both, a bareboat charter lets you create your perfect sailing experience. Navigare Yachting's well-maintained fleet and comprehensive support ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey.

BVI Skippered Charters
If you're new to sailing or simply want to relax, a skippered charter is the perfect option. With a professional skipper on board, you can sit back and enjoy the journey while an experienced sailor handles navigation and sailing. This option allows you to learn the ropes from an expert or just kick back relaxing while enjoying the luxury of having everything taken care of.
Navigating the BVI
Charts and Waypoints: The BVI waters are well-charted, and the sailing routes are often straightforward. However, it’s crucial to have up-to-date nautical charts and electronic navigation systems on board. Familiarize yourself with key waypoints and potential hazards like coral reefs and sandbanks. The sailing area around Nanny Cay provides easy access to renowned anchorages and mooring fields such as The Baths on Virgin Gorda, the wreck of the RMS Rhone near Salt Island, and the vibrant beach bars of Jost Van Dyke.
Prevailing Winds and Weather Patterns: The BVI benefits from steady trade winds, predominantly from the east, ranging between 10-20 knots. These predictable conditions make for ideal sailing but always check for weather updates, especially during the hurricane season from June to November. The typical leeward routes offer calm seas, while windward passages can be more challenging and rewarding for experienced sailors.
Ideal Vessels and Equipment
Catamarans: Catamarans are favored in the BVI for their stability, spaciousness, and shallow draft, which allows access to the more secluded anchorages. Navigare Yachting’s fleet offers state-of-the-art catamarans equipped with modern amenities, making for efficient anchoring for shore excursions.
