Long time gone DaveF Yesterday at 01:35 PM It has been some time since we visited the BVI as lost out during COVID and have not been back. We are now planning an adventure for 2026 and it is good to be back to the site to read the advice and all the good BVI info.

We are looking at two boats, catamaran. There will be 2 couples on the boat. We are now "Senior Citizens" so want comfort and easy to handle boats. The two boats are from 2 separate companies. I think both are good companies and I am not worried about that. Just want a good choice for the boat. Both boats are 3 cabins

Boat 1: 2017 Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 ft
Boat 2: 2028 Leopard 40 M4000
One boat is less cost but that does not cross the other out.

Any thoughts on either of these boats?

Dave

Anegada mooring field depth louismcc 06/21/2025 08:52 PM Heading down in about a week for a 10 day Moorings bareboat charter on a 46.3 monohull which draws a bit less that 6 feet. Given a typical 1 foot tide, how close in can we go for a mooring ball.

A couple of trips ago the mooring field was full so we had to anchor. That normally would be a non-issue if it weren't for the fact that our depth sounder wasn't calibrated. It hadn't been an issue to that point because we were either in a slip or on a ball in deep water. I ending up dropping between 2 anchored monohulls figuring it would be ok for us as well. As I recall we were safely anchored in negative 6 feet of water (no we weren't touching).

Simply the best, again! captaugie 06/21/2025 07:39 PM Just finished what was probably our 30th charter with TMM. They provided us with an immaculate boat and as always professional courtesy. Seamless check out procedure. Handled a chase call in record time. This is who you want to charter from.

Simply the best, again! captaugie 06/21/2025 11:23 AM TMM simply excels. Just finished a multigenerational charter the boat was immaculate, check out process tailored to the captain’s experience, and a smile on everyone’s face. A chase call handled quickly. This was our 25th charter with TMM and they have never disappointed. Professionalism coupled with courtesy, you just can’t beat that.
