Yacht Description
Built for six. This 55' Bali Catamarans cat is a 2023 build that sleeps 6 in 3 cabins, all queen. It is the sensible pick for three couples who want proper space and fewer scheduling meetings.
Easy water access. A swim platform plus boarding ladders on both the yacht and the dinghy makes getting in and out of the water less of a production. Quick rinse after with the deck shower. Done.
Toys that get used. Two sea scooters and snorkel gear keep the water time interesting, while the ZUP board, wakeboard, kneeboard, and adult water skis cover the “one more run” crowd. There is also a 5' x 8' floating mat for a low-effort, high-success afternoon.
Comfort stays simple. Full air conditioning, onboard WiFi (Starlink), and an upgraded Sonos sound system handle the essentials, with IP TV available when you need a weather dodge or a late-night reset. Add a BBQ, bimini, and a forward sun awning, and you have plenty of places to park with a drink.
One cabin caveat. The starboard aft cabin is typically occupied by the crew; if you want that cabin for guests, inquire about availability and any associated fee.

New Years Eve at Foxy's
Every meal was wonderful, thank you Julianna! We are the pirates in paradise! So glad you put up with us and our costumes, but it was fun to have them at Willy T's!!
Thank you for an unforgettable trip! Our first time in the BVI, you offered excellent suggestions of places to see and intuitively planned a smooth and efficient itinerary for us. Julianna – every meal was better than the last, and you were so kind to allow our budding teenage chefs engage with you in the kitchen. You truly have a gift with culinary talent. Your variety, flavor, and presentation is unmatched. Florian, you expertly and confidently navigated our journey with perfect suggestions on where to go. Thank you for being so willing to teach our kids about sailing, and the many wakeboarding trips you took them on were a highlight of the trip. You both provided wonderfully hospitality and made us feel at home as we spent our first Christmas away from home. We enjoyed having Christmas dinner with you! Thank you for a perfect week. We wish you both the best in your travels! Stay in Touch!
