Charter Yacht Catamaran Catalyst: Open Feb 2013

The charter yacht CATALYST, a 44-foot St Francis catamaran, is a boat that we find difficult to book because he is usually already booked for our timeframe, as Catalyst is a popular dive boat.  But now, we have a window of opportunity and we hope that you can take advantage of it.

Catalyst is open for most of February (currently available Feb 2 through March 5, 2013), plus Alan has a bit of time to spare in January (currently available Jan 15-26, 2013).  Inquire for other dates.

Catamaran CATALYST - 2 spots left for this season

There are two opportunities left to sail with Alan aboard his catamaran CATALYST this season in the Virgin Islands.

Alan & his catamaran Catalyst

The charter yacht CATALYST is a 44-foot catamaran which accommodates up to 6 guests in three cabins, each with private ensuite heads. Alan is a dive instructor and 1 dive/day is included for certified divers. Divers rent BC's and Regs.

AVAILABILITY: Virgin Islands as Captain-Only or Half-Board charters:

• July 6-10, 2010 (4 nights)
• July 18-23, 2010 (5 nights)

Rates will be pro-rated according to normal weekly charter fee and the standard 10% surcharge for charters of 5 nights or less is waived... Such a deal :)

If you'd prefer to book a week with Alan next season, no problem!  But don't wait too long as Catalyst is a popular dive boat and already has many bookings for next season.  No longer available for Christmas or New Years... sorry!

Catamaran CATALYST: 3 weeks left this season

A few of you may be surprised that people are booking yacht charter sailing vacations, but we're not.

An all-inclusive, crewed yacht charter is an excellent "bang-for-the-buck", high-value, high-quality vacation, whether for couples, families, groups of friends, or corporate incentives. We've had many new clients and repeat bookings this season. If you're going to have a vacation, choose a vacation that you are going to enjoy!

And, if you need to bring down the cost of a charter a little bit, we suggest a 6-night charter rather than the standard 7 nights.

That being said, we'd like to announce that...

The charter catamaran CATALYST only has three weeks available for the rest of this season for sailing / diving vacations in the Virgin Islands. Snooze and you lose!

Open in the Virgin Islands:

• May 31 - June 6, 2009
• June 15-30, 2009

CATALYST is a 44-foot catamaran that accommodates up to 6 guests in three cabins, each with ensuite head/shower. Alan is a dive instructor and includes one dive/day for certified divers. Gear (BCs & regs) may be rented, or bring your own. Inquire for dive instruction.

RATES:

• $6,500/wk for 2 guests
• $7,500/wk for 3 guests
• $8,500/wk for 4 guests
• $9,500/wk for 5 guests
• $10,500/wk for 6 guests

For 2-person charters, Catalyst offers an ECONOMIC BAILOUT option! Save $500.

UPDATE: This offer has been extended. It is now valid for 2009/2010 charters!

Catalyst announces a great deal on its already popular 2-person, all-inclusive cruises. The only difference is that you will have a crew of one. Along with being Captain and Dive Instructor, Alan will also take on the role of Chef. All meals aboard and standard ship's bar is still included; this is not a "captain-only" charter.

By choosing the Economic Bailout option, you will get a discount of $500 off the standard charter rate ($6000/wk rather than $6500/wk). Alan says that the absence of the second crew member will be transparent. By offering this special option for 2-person charters, Alan hopes to help those who are feeling the economic pinch.
