Every summer it feels more challenging to find that escape from the heat. We hear the words: heat dome, heat index, heat wave, wild fires, drought. So where do we go? How about anywhere that involves being on a crewed catamaran, enjoying the refreshing water with your family and loved ones? There are so many fantastic summertime charter options: from Martha’s Vineyard, to the Exumas, to the Virgin Islands, and down to the Grenadines, booking a crewed yacht charter is super simple.
Check out these gorgeous catamarans sailing in various locations in North America this Summer.

Guests have access to the forward cockpit and trampolines to enjoy the sunshine and sea spray, the cockpit for alfresco dining, and the flybridge to take advantage of the 360 degree views. Le Reve has a plethora of watertoys (efoil, kite surfing, wing foil, diving, SUPs, snorkeling,etc ). To make access into the water super easy, there’s a hydraulic swim platform that can be raised and lowered into the water for guests. It’s also a great spot to set up as a beach club.

Mira Sol:
Mira Sol is waiving the $1,500 relocation fee for charters in the Abacos, Bahamas, that take place by the end of August 31, 2024.

There is a primary’s suite, featuring a walk around bed, a desk area, lots of hanging closet storage and even a private access point between the cockpit and the cabin. The other two VIP cabins feature walk around queen sized beds, spacious bathrooms, and plenty of storage for your belongings.
When guests aren’t relaxing in their cabin, they’ll most likely find themselves on the flybridge, featuring a hard top bimini, which protects the spacious sitting area from the elements. The flybridge is the perfect location for guests to enjoy that first morning cup of coffee or finish the day with sundowners while taking in unobstructed 360 degree views. Guests also have the sunken forward cockpit to relax in while underway, two massive trampolines to sprawl out on, as well as the bow seats on either side (perfect for dolphin watching). Guests can enjoy alfresco dining in the cockpit for the majority of their meals. When it’s time to enjoy the beautiful blue waters, there’s a hydraulic tender lift which can be raised and lowered into the ocean, giving guests an easy entry and exit point for their water activities.

The Bali 5.4’s are known for seamlessly combining indoor/outdoor living spaces, providing guests with multiple areas to enjoy meals, cocktail hours, family game nights, sunbathing and even staying healthy with yoga. There is an owner’s cabin on the port side, featuring a full walk-around queen size bed, with a separate shower and toilet and private access to the cockpit.

Our favorite spot on the Bali 5.4’s is the multi-purpose bow. There is a sitting area with a fold out table, great for enjoying that first cup of coffee in the morning and the large sprawl of sunpads, perfect to use while you’re underway or at anchor. The Bali’s are also known for their long dining room tables which can be enjoyed either fully indoor with the A/C, or open up the garage door for a more alfresco dining experience. When guests are ready to try out the watertoys onboard, there’s a hydraulic swim platform guests can utilize (especially helpful for those with mobility issues). Onboard High 5 you’ll find sea scooters, wakeboard, SUPs, subwing, towable tube, snorkel gear, and a 10ft floating dock which the crew are happy to set up for guests.
