It is so easy (albeit a bit expensive) to get a catamaran anywhere in the world almost anytime of the year!
Winter where you are? Try the Bahamas, or the Virgin Islands or Greece, or South Pacific!
Just do a search - find the best deals and the best airfare and go for it!

Catamaran charter - anyone can do it!

Before you charter a catamaran, there are some misconceptions to clear up. Catamarans are not like monohulls.
There is a huge difference! Catamarans are stable, (they don't rock in the swell), they are very spacious with the two hulls offering 4 or 5 separate sleeping quarters, they are very easy to sail even for beginners, they are fast!, and because catamarans usually have two engines they are very easy to maneuver when docking.
Back in the days when we lived on our boat, the concern about catamarans was th perception they would flip over and you couldn't flip them back up!
Today however, the engineering has the catamarans actually safer than monohulls- all in all a very stable and comfortable platform for glorious sailing in the balmy beach breezes of your favorite destination.
Belize anyone?

Catamaran chartering
So you want to charter a catamaran!
Well me too!
I have built a lived aboard a 36 foot aluminum cutter rigged sailboat for 6 years. In fact my first son was born when we had to pull over into Tortola BVI!
Now 16 years later we want to go back to the cruising life and a catamaran is where I want to be.
What better way to get there than to write about it? I will tell all. Where to look. What is good and what is not. What is the difference and how do you know?
And to start with - how the heck do you charter a catamaran sailboat?
