Charter a Luxury Crewed Catamaran Out Of Belize City – Part II

Following on from Part I of our Belize blogs, and having introduced a sample itinerary and the destination, we give you some ideas of the best yachts to charter in Belize.

Two of our favourite yachts for charter in Belize are both Lagoon 500s. Lagoon catamarans are a part of Beneteau Yachts, and are a fantastic brand of catamaran, offering both luxury and comfort in spacious accommodation. Catamarans are perfect for first time sailors, as they provide stability on the water, and a space that you would often struggle to find in a monohull of the same length.

DORIS is the first of our Lagoon 500s, she is a 2007 model, with 3 cabins accommodating for up to 6 guests. Her crew of 2 is great and for sailing enthusiasts, they would love to let you help sail!

Our second suggestion is the beautiful AMURA, which is also a 2007 Lagoon 500, which accommodates 8 guests in her four well appointed cabins. Her interior is gorgeous and bright, though the use of large windows, which not only allow the sunlight of Belize to shine through into the yacht, but allow you to gaze out onto the crystal blue waters surrounding you.

Charter a Luxury Crewed Catamaran Out Of Belize City – Part I

Belize is fast becoming one of the most popular destinations for chartering. With beautiful beaches and some extraordinary coves to explore, we highly recommend chartering there. For those who like to adventure, Belize is home to some stunning diving locations, and some exquisite backdrops for what will be the charter of a lifetime.

If you need to be tempted any more, why not check out our sample itinerary? One of our favourite parts to the itinerary is St George’s Caye, which provides a picturesque setting for a tranquil day on the water, from the luxury of your own yacht. St George’s is a private island, so you’ll be able to experience unspoiled beauty first hand.

For those looking to help sail, Belize is the perfect place to start, with clear crystal blue waters all around. You could even take a break and help the crew fish for your dinner, where Tuna, Mackerel and Cobia are often caught.

We highly recommend Belize for a charter with friends and family alike, where you can enjoy both the company of your guests and the activities on offer.

Stay tuned for Part II, where we have a look at some of the fantastic yachts available to charter in Belize.

Try Before You Buy – Charter a Luxury Yacht to see if it's the Right One for You.

Are you considering buying your own luxury yacht? Unsure whether or not you know what is right for you?

Charter the yacht of your dreams before making that decision to buy. With www.boatbookings.com you can charter the exact make and model that you're interested in before taking the leap to purchase. There's so much to consider when you buy a yacht, and you definitely don't want to make a mistake and pick the wrong one. You cannot judge a book by its cover – what you see on paper can be a completely different experience to what it is like on board. You need to experience the real thing, and get out on the water.

On a yacht charter you can experience the level of comfort the yacht provides – is there enough space for you and your friends? Will you get a good night’s sleep below deck? Does she still look as great a few years later? A yacht will always look pristine at a show, but you want to know she’ll stay that way! You can also experiment with the technical details. Push the yacht to her top speed and feel how she performs in different sea conditions. If you’re interested in a sail boat, get a hands-on experience. Find out how she handles in different winds, and how happy you are with sailing and mooring her.

A bit of online research, looking at some pictures and specifications; these may be the first footsteps towards a purchase, but they won’t tell you just how it feels to experience the real thing out at sea. There are so many things to take in to consideration when buying, and chartering will help to decide if it’s the right yacht for you. Whether you want a sexy Sunseeker or astounding Azimut, we have plenty to offer.

Phuket is one of Thailands Best Destinations to Charter a Luxury Yacht.

Phuket welcomes millions of tourists every year and is a popular destination for honeymooners, heiresses and surfers, thanks to its cosmopolitan vibe and sense of paradise. Often referred to as the jewel in the crown of South East Asian yachting, Phuket provides amazing scenery, pristine beaches and spectacular dive and snorkel spots. What more could you want from a luxury vacation?

Catamarans are very popular for slow cruising around islands, providing guests with great stability and comfort. However, if you are looking to do some serious cruising in a short period of time, you may be inclined to go for a motor yacht. Before you make your decision, you should definitely think about a power catamaran, incorporating the advantages of a motor yacht with a catamaran.

We have a fantastic Schionning 43ft power catamaran available for charter from Phuket and is ideal for exploring the beautiful islands of Krabi and Phi Phi. This is a fully crewed catamaran, leaving your 26 guests to socialise and sunbathe on her large external deck. She can also accommodate up to 8 guests in 4 cabins for more intimate charters with friends and family. This powercat is available for charter without a minimum duration, providing guests with great flexibility.

Have you never sailed in Thailand before? At www.boatbookings.com, we welcome everyone from sailing professionals to complete novices and will help you at every step of the way to make your dreams a reality. We have a team of highly skilled professionals who are extremely knowledgeable in their destinations and will be able to help you with any questions you may have.

One of our favourite yachts for charter is TITANIA, a 72m Lurssen. We just have to take this chance to share her with you! If you want some fun in the Mediterranean this summer, while cruising the French Riviera, or you’re looking for the ultimate winter getaway in the Seychelles to escape the cold, TITANIA is your boat. Perfect for you, your friends, and your family.

Starting at 550,000 € per week, TITANIA is the perfect choice for an unforgettable charter. She can accommodate up to 12 guests in 2 master staterooms and 5 guest cabins. Decorated with a classic style, she is beautifully furnished and comfortable. There is plenty to keep you entertained on TITANIA and her crew of 20 will make sure you are well looked after the moment you step on board. Whether you want a trip to the spa for a massage, a visit to the beach club and sauna or a workout in the gym with your very own fitness instructor, you may struggle to decide which you want first!

With a large jacuzzi on the upper deck, cool off and relax with a cocktail in your hand, served from the jacuzzi-side bar.

However, if you’re more interested in making a splash, TITANIA has a fantastic range of water toys, including jet skis, kayaks and an inflatable water park (complete with floating trampoline!). Once you’ve run out of energy, dry off in the sun on the extremely spacious decks, there is more than enough room for sunbathing, and also give you the chance to indulge in a spot of alfresco dining.
