Catamaran KELEA, a 60 ft Privilege accommodating up to 10 guests in cruising comfort, with a master king guest suite, and 4 equal queen-berth guest suites. She offers guests a Captained-Only charter experience.
Privilege 60 catamaran. Big platform, small nonsense. KELEA is built for groups who actually use the boat: wide stable deck, serious lounging space, and an easy swim platform that makes the water toys and snorkeling feel like a default setting, not a side quest.
Sleep everyone without starting a cabin war. One king owner’s suite plus four equal queen cabins means up to 10 guests get real beds and real privacy. No “who gets the good cabin” drama, no bunk-bed negotiations.
Refit 2025 brain in a 1996 Privilege hull. You’re getting the proven Jeantot/Privilege build quality with a modern refit, full air conditioning, strong Wi‑Fi, and upgraded comforts instead of vintage compromises.
Water is not just scenery here. KELEA carries snorkel and scuba gear with crew certified to dive with you, plus paddleboards, kayaks, towable tube, wakeboard, and water skis. Add sun pads, outdoor audio, and an easy-access swim platform and you’ve basically outsourced your beach club to the back of the boat.
Captained-only = you relax, they handle the physics. A professional captain runs the yacht; you and your group use the space, the toys, and the cabins without needing to think about engines, anchoring, or “which button does what.” KELEA is for charterers who want the full catamaran experience, not a floating hotel corridor.
Accommodation
Up to 8 guests in a centreline king suite and three queen berth guest suites.Kelea is fully air-conditioned throughout and makes her own purified water onboard.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a sailing catamaran like KELEA, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price ($4,400 - $7,700), making the charter cost $26,400 to $29,700. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.

| 7 day charter | 22,000USD to 24,000USD | 4,400USD to 7,200USD | 26,400USD to 31,200USD | Standard charter rate, base for all calculations. | |
| 3 day charter | 11,000USD to 12,000USD | 2,200USD to 3,600USD | 13,200USD to 15,600USD | The usual formula is the 7 day charter rate divided by 6, times the number of days (3). Boat policy might differ. 22,000USD / 6 * 3 days = 11,000USD |

Crew
Captain: TBA
The captain runs KELEA as a tight, captained‑only operation, focused on clean passages, safe fun, and dropping you on the right spot at the right time. You get the helm handled and the pace set, so your energy goes into diving, toys, and water time.
- RYA-licensed captain
- Primary working language: English
- US nationality
KELEA’s additional crew slot is held open for a pro who locks into the captain’s pace, backing up dives, toys, and guest support so the whole week runs lean and guest-focused. The role is built to flex around what your group does most—water, service, or both.
- Designated supporting crew position alongside captain
- Crew details to be advised closer to charter dates

Reviews
Their tireless commitment to our trip and work to keep everyone comfortable would lead me to provide them with a 5/5 star review. Thanks for the opportunity to meet 2 wonderful people who provided a great experience that my wife and I will remember for a lifetime.
Best,
Josh
STRONGLY recommend this boat but more over this crew!
Grenadines was really awesome. Protected reefs provided for high quality snorkeling and diving.
I worked out every day with the foam roller and the yoga mat. We were able to snorkel, scuba and stand up paddle board. So fun!!!
Off the charts... Amazing!!!!
Shawn was very confident and in control. He was also relaxed and able to make us all comfortable.
Chef Autumn made one great meal after the next! Her cooking and baking was phenomenal. She truly made the trip special.
I would rate it a 10 on a 5 point scale. PHENOMENAL!!!
Our first trip was on an old Cat named the Last Fancy with a husband and wife that were owners/operators. We had the time of our life and we never realized that we did not know what we did not know - that is to say there were some mighty beautiful boats out there. We soon realized that we had to come back and charter a newer/bigger boat with more amenities. We did this numerous times and it seems that each boat was nicer and each crew was better than the last.
Our experience on Kelea was no different - from a mighty 65 footer that can cruise at 9+ knots to the beautiful salon of blonde woods and the largest galley I have ever seen. Because she can provision and hold so much we never had to stop and we wanted for absolutely nothing the entire week! And this was 8 passengers and 2 crew!
This leads me to the crew - Dan and Alli Shivone... As I mentioned we have had the privilege to have chartered some of the finest Cat's in the Caribbean and thus experienced some of the best crews. I can categorically state without any hesitation that Dan and Alli were the best! It seemed that all of our personalities meshed perfectly from Alli's bubbly and energetic persona to Dan's down to business yet dry and quick wit. All this lent itself to not only a wonderful trip from their technical abilities but also their personal qualities that led to great discussions, fun games, superb dives and lots and lots of laughs!
My wife and I highly recommend this boat but more importantly - this crew - for your dream vacation and the time of your life!
