Modern Bali cat. ITHAKA is a 2022 Bali Catamarans sailing catamaran that sleeps 8 guests in 4 en-suite queen cabins, sized to keep a group together without living on top of each other.
Flybridge wins the day. The flybridge setup gives you 360° views, so morning coffee, sail-watching, and sunset drinks all happen in one obvious spot. Simple. Effective.
Cabins that feel bright. All four guest cabins have queen beds, private bathrooms with dedicated shower stalls, and large windows for natural light, plus TVs in each cabin for the “I’m done socializing” hour.
Watersports, covered. Expect a stand-up Jet Ski, kneeboard, wakeboard, towable tube, adult and child water skis, floating mats, kayak, paddleboards, snorkel gear, and light fishing gear, with diving available by arrangement if you want bubbles without carrying tanks.

Reviews
The captain and chef were outstanding—professional, warm, and truly made the experience special. The meals were delicious and thoughtfully prepared, and the itinerary was perfectly balanced. We had just the right amount of downtime to relax and soak in the stunning surroundings, mixed with plenty of adventure to keep things exciting.
Every stop felt carefully curated, and the whole trip was seamless from start to finish. We’re already dreaming about our next escape aboard Ithaka.
- Matt & Hayley Worstell
The catamaran itself is stunning and spacious. There is plenty of storage space for your belongings and deck space to hang out and not feel crowded. Every last detail has been thought of onboard from nice linens in the rooms, games when you need relief from the sun, different table linens for each meal, an outdoor shower for a quick rinse, snorkel and paddle board gear for entertainment at your destinations or when at anchor. The underboat lights were awesome at night and allowed for incredible views into the water to see the ocean life.
Too many positives to list them all! Would definitely book again!!
Nicole
The captain and the chef on board took great care of us for the entire trip. It was hard to pick a favorite meal because they were all incredible!
Our group will definitely be back on board Ithaka again in the future. It was the best way to truly experience everything the Virgin Islands has to offer. - Cody

We've loved snorkeling, tectite, hiking, and sailing. We've also enjoyed hearing about your adventures around the world - and we're glad that you were part of our adventures in St. John.
Wishing you all the best in the days to come.
My favorite part of the trip is always the planning. Thank you for taking the time to talk out all our plans and timelines. We had such a smooth trip. We will always remember my husband's 46th birthday as the first year we sailed on Ithaka!
Thank you to Briley for all the planning, shopping, prepping and cooking double meals for the kids and adults. Everything was wonderful!
Thank you for a fabulous vacation! This is a trip that our family has talked about for years and now that we have taken the trip, it will be one that we talk about for years to come!
From swimming with sea turtles to snorkeling the Tektite siko, it was all wonderful! Thank you for taking us free diving, Clayton, we loved every minute of it. The kids also loved surfing behind the dinghy and all the time spent out on the water.
Thank you for all of the wonderful food, Briley! Thank you also for the breakfast accommodations for the sleepy teens! Good luck to both of you as you continue your travels.
Amazing time on your boat! Love meeting you and sharing time with you! We will always remember this wonderful week - Jill you are beyond words - one of a kind. Thank you for the special accommodations with our gluten-free diet. Hope we cross paths again. Loved the food - meals were awesome!
Thank you for an amazing week! Everything exceeded our expectations... the sailing, food, drinks, ports, excursions. We hope to see you sometime in the future whether in the islands or New England. Your skill and thoughtfulness and care, are second to none. Love every minute aboard with you!
Thank you for an awesome adventure. Everything was truly exceptional. The food and presentation was outstanding, totally beyond expectations. The best reward was learning about your life adventures. Thank you for the friendship.

The pinnacle of the trip was the romantic evening finalized on the last night – You pulled together a giant event to celebrate our friendship! Memories – what a great time!
From tricky challenges to snorkeling to dance parties on the fly deck, this will be a vacation to remember!
Wow! What an amazing week! This was the best trip ever! Thanks for creating so many for special memories for us – unique stops, morning runs, delicious meals, beautiful sails, festive cocktails, unforgettable sunset views, a romantic happy hour on the beach, and so much more. This was a trip we will treasure forever!
Thank you for an amazing week! I just wish I could celebrate my 50th birthday every year :) Your attentiveness to every detail, your willingness to help with a party and the beach 'tin cup' night are so appreciated. Thank you for everything you did to make this trip with friends so special!
Jennifer is a real professional. She put together 5 star meals, that our family is still raving about!
She has a great personality to entertain people, and treated us like royalty!
Jason went above and beyond making sure we were comfortable and also entertained! He made sure to bring us to the best snorkeling spots. His talent as a bar tender also was much appreciated! 😊
Jason and Jennifer worked well together and we would highly recommend them to anyone!! It was a trip of a life time!!
Thanks for everything,
Mike Dietz
