Yacht Description
Easy for eight. MERRY-TIME is a 49-foot Bali Catamarans sailing catamaran (built 2021) set up to sleep 8 guests in 4 queen cabins, each with a private en-suite. Simple math: everyone gets the same deal.
Indoor-outdoor flow. You have multiple places to settle in, including a forward cockpit lounge and dining area, an aft cockpit with seating and dining, and a bright, fully air-conditioned main salon with direct access to the forward lounge. Quick reset between swims. No drama.
Water time, sorted. Scoop steps and a swim platform make getting in and out straightforward, and there’s an outdoor shower for the salt-and-sunscreen rinse. Add a BBQ, and lunch can happen without anyone disappearing below for long.
Toys that get used. For active days, MERRY-TIME carries paddleboards, a wakeboard, a towable tube, floating mats, and beach games, plus snorkeling gear and an underwater camera and video setup to document the “that definitely counts as exercise” moments.

Charter Reviews

Marvelous Trip
It made a huge difference having Adam as a captain. He has worked commercially with the BVI's for more than 5 years. His safety and flexibility were noticeable.
Kate the cook was the best we ever had. She was always anticipating our needs and not once we had to ask her for anything.
Thank you, for the recommendation and selection.

Thank you for helping us get it all together. It was so easy and came together perfect. Looking forward to booking the next one!
This was our first experience on renting a private yacht. Mary and Ron were the absolute best. They took care of our every need. The food Mary cooked was amazing. They were so very kind and went overboard (literally) to accommodate us. I highly, highly recommend taking a trip on Merry-Time....
- The Butterfields
Trip of a lifetime. My wife and I have already been scheming how to get our family back down here to do the Merrytime again.
Thank you, Ron, Mary, Malcom and Jeremy. You made this trip!
