HQ2 Yacht Description
-
Seabobs:
Premium seascooter fun for exploring reefs and bays faster than snorkeling alone. -
Towable tube:
Easy thrills behind the tender, great for groups taking turns and laughing together. -
Kayaks & paddleboards:
Calm-water cruising to beaches and coves, ideal for mornings or sunset paddles.
Big cat, small draft. HQ2 is a 75ft sailing catamaran built in 2013, set up to sleep 10 guests. With a 5ft draft, she gets you into shallower anchorages without making the group decamp into tenders all day.
Water time, easy. A swim platform plus stern sugar scoops make the in-and-out routine simple. Rinse off at the outdoor shower, then regroup under the bimini. Repeat.
Toys that get used. Seabobs for the speed addicts, paddleboards and kayaks for the wanderers, plus a towable tube and adult waterskis for anyone who packed more confidence than coordination. Snorkeling gear is also onboard.
Comfort basics covered. Full air conditioning, Wi‑Fi, and a saloon TV for downtime. There is also an indoor audio system with iPod dock, and a BBQ for straightforward meals that do not require a dress code.
Accommodation
3 x Queen berths with en suite, 1 double (V-berth) with en suite that can also accommodate 2 additional people with bunk beds in this double cabin.Captain Only

Reviews
We had an amazing charter on HQ2 over New Years. Super luxury experience. Awesome ideas for activities, fun atmosphere, over the top delicious food with beautiful presentation. The team worked so hard to make our week unforgettable.
Marilyn
Would definitely cruise with them again.
Diane
I can't thank you guys enough for the amazing charter! I must admit when I heard we were your first charter ever I got a little nervous. When you told us you sailed from South Africa to the BVI's I knew we were with a skilled crew and we were safe.... After that the check marks kept coming. Fun, energetic, kind, caring and overall just great human beings. ..... it didn't take long before we all knew we hit the jackpot with you guys. From the food and drinks to the snorkeling, kayaking, private beach picnic, teaching us to sail and everything in between Thank you guys for turning what would have been a great week into simply the best vacation we have ever been on. We can't wait to sail with you guys again!!

Dylan and Ameda were more than we could have ever hoped for!! My sister-in-law and I were crying as we said goodbye because they had become family to all of us. We both continue to talk to them since we have returned home also! The islands we went to were unbelievable and all the amazing adventures we did were amazing!
They made Christmas for our kids (and us) one of the best!! We experienced some mechanical issues with the boat “Perpetual Blue” and Dylan and Ameda handled it so well. We had to spend the night on the dock one of the nights so a mechanic could work on the boat. Dylan had all of that arranged and worked around it to make plans for us on the island we were on.
We have shared our experience with so many of our family and friends and have recommended them to all! Thank you for providing an easy booking, great communication through the planning process, and overall amazing vacation!! We all are ready to come back and we want Dylan and Ameda again!! 😊
