Can you charter a power catamaran in the BVI?
Yes, you can charter a power catamaran in the BVI, and the powercat fleet there grows every season. Models like the Aquila 44 and the Fountaine Pajot motor yachts cruise at 15 to 18 knots, roughly double a sailing catamaran, so a group reaches Jost Van Dyke or Anegada in about an hour. Same beam, same cabins, no heeling. Crewed five-cabin powercats sleep ten guests comfortably, which makes them the standard answer for five couples traveling together. Budget for fuel, though. A powercat burns far more than a sailing cat, and fuel is billed on top of the base rate. A broker matches group size, dates and budget to the boats actually available in the British Virgin Islands.
