Why These 5 BVI Catamarans Are the Top Picks for 30-50k Charters

Amazing Value for Her Size!

Ultra may be a 63 ft power catamaran, but she feels much larger. Built in 2017, she maximizes her space with a generous flybridge and foredeck, offering incredible value for her size. And let me tell you— she’s all-around fabulous!

First impressions stepping onboard? Spacious, luxurious, and a great balance of modern and cozy. The social areas are sleek and clean, with a tasteful décor that feels high-end, while the cabins—3 VIPs and 1 twin—are a little more cozy, with warm knitted blankets and homely touches. It’s the perfect setup for a family.

The aft deck is lovely, with a bar right next to the dining area. I have to mention the tablescape they had during the show—it was stunning. A black and white theme with black napkins, white floral arrangements, and tasteful black-and-white decor, including candles and starfish.

The Flybridge Gets The Check Mark ✓

The flybridge is another win for this catamaran—spacious with plenty of seating around a large table. And a small bar and fridge to keep your drinks cold while you soak up the views. – Important info: Kyle is known to make really great cocktails!

A True Dream Team!

And now, let’s talk about the crew. Captain Kyle Foglesong and Chef Jessica Dillow have been together for over 16 years, and they’re the perfect team. Kyle is a jack of all trades—you’ll find him in the engine room, leading snorkel trips, hiking adventures, or mixing up a round of first-class cocktails at the bar. Jessica has a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She’s not just a talented chef; she’s an incredible host who makes every guest feel special.

4. FOREVER YOUNG
57 ft Two Oceans

This Yacht Really Surprised Us

Forever Young was one of the last yachts we visited at the show, and honestly, I’m so glad we didn’t miss her. This 57 ft Two Oceans power catamaran, built in 2024, wasn’t even on our radar, but after stepping onboard, she left quite an impression.

The layout of this model is a pleasant surprise. She’s got the kind of space you’d expect from a much larger motor yacht, especially on the deck. The flybridge is a standout feature. It’s equipped with dining space, seating for the captain, and a custom-added bar—a smart touch by the owners.

From here, you can head to the aft upper deck, where two sunbeds are waiting. Or, you can go forward to the upper foredeck—a balcony-like space overlooking the bow. There’s another large sunbed here where you can lounge with the wind in your hair and the sun on your face as you glide toward your next destination in paradise.

Unique Interior Layout with Impressive Master Cabin

The interior is equally impressive. The master cabin is centrally located right off the main saloon, with direct access to the bow. It’s truly a master’s retreat—open the doors, and the entire space feels like your own private sanctuary. From there, you can head down to the port hull, where the ensuite bathroom awaits, complete with his-and-hers sinks and a makeup vanity.

This is the Perfect Yacht for a Family Charter!

The layout continues with a queen cabin and a convertible twin-to-queen cabin, which is set up for kids, complete with teddies, books, and a bucket of toys. It’s such a thoughtful touch and makes Forever Young feel genuinely family-friendly.

If you’re traveling with family, this yacht is a dream. It’s possibly the best luxury, family-friendly yacht we’ve seen at the show. The Scandinavian-inspired décor—minimalist, with light natural tones—adds a touch of understated elegance, and everything feels cohesive and well put together.

The Water Toys Include a Minicat & Waterslide

And then there are the water toys. Forever Young has one of the most impressive selections we’ve seen, including a sailing Minicat Guppy and an inflatable waterslide from the top deck. It’s safe to say, this yacht knows how to keep everyone entertained.

3. ZINGARA
76 ft Silhouette

Adding a Little Color in Your Life!

The interior is beautifully laid out, with 1 master cabin and 3 VIP cabins, each styled in its own uplifting color scheme. The main saloon feels luxurious, vibrant, and welcoming, with thoughtful details like stunning artwork and a huge carved wooden turtle beside the dining table.

The galley is a standout—large, well-equipped, and visually inviting. Unlike the industrial, hidden galleys you see on many yachts today, this one is consistent with the aesthetics. It helps that it’s home to Chef Ed Stacey, a great character as much as a great chef!

We Loved the Bow Swim Ladder!

On deck, Zingara offers something truly unique. The flybridge connects over the top to the foredeck, giving easy access to the trampolines. Between the trampolines is a ladder that can be lowered at anchor, creating an ideal swim platform—a rare feature that makes the foredeck a perfect spot for water lovers.

Excellent Dive Charter Features

Zingara offers an exceptional diving experience with 12 tanks, an onboard air compressor, BCDs, weight sets, and dive lights available for up to 10 divers. Certified divers can enjoy up to four dives, including night dives, all included in the charter. Resort courses and referral Open Water certifications are also available, with practical training included in the charter fee (PADI e-learning is paid separately).

2. GULLWING
55 ft Lagoon

Brand-New Catamaran with it All!

Gullwing is a brand-new 2024 Lagoon 55, and she’s in perfect condition. The first thing that caught our attention was how open and spacious she feels, especially on deck.

The flybridge and foredeck are incredible, and up front, there’s this amazing U-shaped couch that’s just calling your name. It’s the ultimate spot to sit while underway, with the wind in your hair looking to your new horizons!

We started outside, where all the toys were on display—Gullwing has plenty to keep guests entertained. There are lots of floats you can hang off the stern, making it a great platform for swimming and lounging. It’s the kind of setup where you could easily spend hours just enjoying the water.

John Can Vouch for an Incredible Lunch

Inside, we walked into the aftermath of what must’ve been a spectacular lunch. Chef Anna was tidying up, but the air still smelled amazing. Our broker, John Boullin, had been lucky enough to join the meal earlier, and his words pretty much summed it up: “Fantastic yacht, fantastic crew, the Turkish meze was insane, and the aircon was efficient.” I came onboard on John’s recommendation—and let’s just say he wasn’t wrong.

A Charter for a Sweet Tooth

Even though lunch was over, there was still an incredible spread of baked goods left out. White chocolate cream blondies, double chocolate brownies, blueberry streusel muffins, sourdough focaccia, and dillisk seaweed bread rolls—it was all there, and it looked almost too good to eat. Anna told me that the yacht’s owner has a serious sweet tooth and insists on serving two desserts every day. “He loves cake,” she said with a laugh, “and he wants

The Perfect Charter Yacht for Friends to Share

After my dessert detour, we toured the cabins. Gullwing has 4 equally sized VIP cabins, which makes her perfect for groups of friends sharing the cost. The rooms are simple, comfortable, and clearly cared for down to the smallest details. Even the little gifts left on the beds for guests to take home were such a thoughtful touch—it’s those small things that really make a difference.

Designed for Good Times

Gullwing is one of those yachts that feels like it was designed for good times. From the open deck spaces to the incredible food and the welcoming crew, she delivers on every level. Whether you’re here for the water toys, the desserts, or just the sheer relaxation, this yacht is all about making sure you have a great time. This effort is largely due to her fantastic crew, Captain William Hamilton, Deckhand/Stewardess Natia Barber, and Chef Anna Kane.

The crew on Liquid Sky is a big part of what makes her special. Captain Simon has an adventurous side that really shows—he’s a dive master, a whitewater rafting guide, and even rode a motorbike from Canada to Argentina.
