Yacht Description
New build, sensible size. OUT OF THE BLUE is a 2024 Bali Catamarans sailing catamaran at about 55 feet, set up to sleep 8 guests in 4 suites.
Easy water access. The hydraulic swim platform drops the barrier between boat life and sea time. Simple. Effective. You will use it constantly.
Toys for actual use. Expect paddleboards, a wakeboard, a towable tube, floating mats, and sea scooters, plus beach games for the low-effort days. There is also an inflatable Jet Ski dock listed for cleaner, less chaotic water-sports logistics.
Comfort stays practical. Full air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a salon TV cover downtime, while a BBQ, ice maker, and coffee machine keep the daily rhythm moving without drama.

Stewardess Olga is a true talent in the galley — healthy food that still tastes indulgent, with real attention to detail. The deck foam stays cool underfoot even in the heat, the generator runs quiet with minimal vibration, and a custom bow tent adds shade. Captain Jose brings a colorful résumé, from oil platforms to tall ships to catamarans.

Captain's Interview: Out of The Blue in the BVI
The captain of Out of The Blue discusses what makes a good boat, typical itineraries in the BVI, and the freedom of a yacht charter compared to a resort vacation.
Because you get on it. That's how you make a big boat, a good boat. The people who step on it.

On a yacht, you don't have to rent a taxi to leave the resort. You can just take your home. You become a snail. You become a nomad. You just take your home to wherever you want to go.

Transcript — Captain's Interview: Out of The Blue in the BVI
>> Why do I love my boat? Because you get on it. That's how you make a big boat, a good boat. The people who step on it.
On the normal itinerary based from Tortola, you spend around 1 hour, 2 hours daily sailing from several stops along the way to our final destination. If you go a little bit further to Anegada, you expect a 2-hour minimum sailing from Anegada to Jost Van Dyke, around 3 hours. So that's the maximum sailing. If you decide to pick up or drop off on a different location, as in St. Martin, it's around also 1 to 2 hours difference between each island with already some stops along the way.

On a yacht, you don't have to rent a taxi to leave the resort. You can just take your home. You become a snail. You become a nomad. You just take your home to wherever you want to go. On a resort, you end up on the buffet and on the open bar and you won't do anything or much more than that.
Brokers have the difficult reality of managing people that do it for the first time. And if you do it alone for the first time, you halfway through the process, you give up because you have too many questions without any answers. And you start to get afraid of making bad decisions or being scammed by anyone. A broker is a person who is there not just to book the boat for you, but to clarify all the questions that you have prior to the chartering itself and to help you decide which is the best size of a boat, type of crew, or type of boat that you can get to your experience according to what you are aiming for. When you charter the boat that we recommend, you have a great, amazing experience.
