My family and I just came back from a catamaran charter in the BVI. We went end of June. This was the best vacation we have ever been on. It was really neat to sail around and visit parts of the BVI only accessible by boat. I highly recommend getting a captain and a chef. The bareboat charters were fun to watch at each stop chasing mooring balls and such. Our catamaran was really nice and ac. We were there for 7 days and had a chef and captain half board for 9k for 2 adults and 2 kids.
Wiley Sharp Catamaran Expert her name was Knot Anchored. Not sure how old the boat was but it definitely met our needs. Vacationing on a catamaran is a whole different perspective. I can't wait until we are able to do it again.
We used a charter broker for a charter we did out of Croatia last year. This was the best decision we could have made. They managed the entire process, organized an outstanding skipper, handled all the paper work, and answered all our questions. We were fully prepared for the week long charter. Further, we did have one issue with the company that had the boat under charter and the Broker stepped in and took care of it. Highly recommend anyone new to charter or that does not have experience with a particular company to go through a Broker.
Great idea for a series! Looking forward to watching the whole series. A thought, my husband and I are new to the possibilities of chartering, it would be great to see more video on the chartering possibilities while you are both talking. This will educate those of us that are new to the thought of chartering whether it's securing a charter or chartering our own boat... Thanks!
Awesome and very informative video. I will be looking forward to more videos on the subject. Considering my last year Disney trip for 8 days cost me almost 10k, the price for an awesome Caribbean catamaran trip for 20k doesn’t seem out of bounds
Thank you for doing this series. Would your wife do a 6th episode answering some of the questions she receives? My guess is she’ll get a lot of the same type questions and answering them on video may help us all out. Thanks!
Wiley; I already forwarded this one to a friend so we can set up a time frame for some island time and your wife is at the top of my Charter list now. Our last cruise was two weeks Australia to Singapore (Great time) Since we live in Thailand the Caribbean is a exotic destination for us!
Love that you are doing this series!!! Any suggestions for training type charters? Hoping to learn as much as possible during a 2 week vacation, but also want to feel like I'm still on vacation.
hey buddy it was really nice seeing your wife on the video pretty funny I spent a month up in Lake Champlain had an awesome time they actually Commercial Appeal on that Lake huge huge Lake and you guys are just awesome and you know what I really want to contact you and talk to you personally cuz my wife and I and and four of my other friends would love to do a catamaran deal but you know we don't have all that much time as you know so if you can give me a jingle Vegas bill
Laura Jagielski I was staying at a friend's cabin on the New York side it was 4th of July probably one of the best Fourth of July fireworks show I ever saw it was pretty awesome it was by some little town and then we went scuba diving I was only 19 or 20 it was pretty cool but I am seriously thinking of getting with your husband and talking about getting Captain license awesome catamaran to start a charter service
But Blah Blah Blah. Want to take the boat out on your own? Want counts is time on the water as skipper. Period. There is no such thing as a bareboat "certification." Your experience in your logbook will either let you rent a boat or not. The charter company wants to see how much time you have as skipper. There is a great amount of lying and resume inflation on the charter company qualification forms; how else do you think all those drunk yokels you see on the water get to skipper a boat?
@@catamarancentral Blah Blah Blah Prefer Whisky Sours Doesn't change a thing. Why not YOU work with the insurance company(s) to come up with a way for zero or low timers who don't wish to lie on the resume to skipper a boat? BlahBlahBlah

Love it Wiley! Thanks for the info! And the beard is back in full affect! 🤣
Great info! Thanks. Can’t wait for part two
Great info!! Was hoping you could charter a much smaller boat for about 12,000 for just 2-6 people
Can't wait for the next episode. Great info.
Thank you for doing this series. Would your wife do a 6th episode answering some of the questions she receives? My guess is she’ll get a lot of the same type questions and answering them on video may help us all out. Thanks!
Laura Jagielski do you organize charters without crews or are they all crewed charters?
Fantastic job, looking forward to your next clip.

Thanks Wiley. Good topic. Good interview.
Very nice! Excellent info.
Great series.
Why don't you link to the playlist or other videos? You should add end screens also.

How many days does that $20k get you?
"...seeing as she's my wife..." - awesome.

Man... You seem like an angry person... You should charter a boat, have a rum punch, and chill out ;)
