Yacht Description
Easy water access. LAUREL LEE is a 58ft Leopard sailing catamaran set up for days that revolve around getting in and out of the sea, helped along by a hydraulic swim platform, swim platform, and bathing platform. Less ladder gymnastics. More swimming.
Space for 10. She sleeps 10 guests in 5 cabins, all with queen beds and en-suite bathrooms. Built in 2016 with a 2024 refit.
Shade, rinse, repeat. Foredeck seating for the non-swimmers, a BBQ for low-effort lunches, and an outdoor shower for the quick de-salt before you wander back inside. Full air conditioning and Wi-Fi keep the off-water hours civilized.
Toys that get used. Two paddleboards, a 2-person kayak, a wakeboard, snorkeling gear, and light fishing gear cover the basics without needing a committee meeting. The 14ft center console tender (60HP) makes it simple to hop between swim spots.

Transcript — Captain's Interview: Sailing the BVI on Laurel Lee
Captain: This boat has got a lot of space. It's got character because of its date of birth. It's a 2016 model. Lots and lots of character. It's a beautiful sailing boat. We love sailing. As soon as we possibly can, we always switch the engines off and sail wherever we can.
We've had guests that say, "Oh, they've charted all over the world, but this has been the best charter ever."
Conditions in the BVI are spectacular for sailing. I mean, I've done some in the Mediterranean and in, you know, Greece, Ionians, Eklades. Those areas you can get a lot more wind than you do here and much steadily for a long time. So, you could have a week of blowing, being blown out there. But here you'll have a squall now and again, but generally you're going to have 15 to 20 knots of wind, which is perfect sailing conditions.
Broker: The brokers just match the guest to the crew, basically. So, you could spend a lot of time looking for crew. And the brokers we deal with are all, well, most of them are ex-sailors and ex-crew. So they know what they're talking about. They know what their guests are looking for and then they seem to match them. There's so many websites online that you can click a boat. It says book now. But what we really like is, you know, for us to have a conversation. We love your feedback because, you know, we might not know exactly what you're interested in. So, you know, we hop on to a video call or, you know, just a quick text. Give us some feedback and then we can match you with the right boat.
