Yacht Description
Catamaran space, six guests. TURQUOISE TURTLE is a 50-foot Voyage Yachts sailing catamaran built in 2001 and refit in 2017, set up to sleep 6 in three en-suite queen cabins. The wide beam helps. So does not having to schedule shower time like it is a conference room.
Easy water access. A swim platform, boarding ladders, and an outdoor shower keep the swim to sip ratio working all day. Simple, practical, and exactly what you want on a cat.
Water toys that get used. Two stand-up paddleboards, a kneeboard, and a towable tube cover the “active” crowd, while snorkel gear plus an underwater still camera and underwater video handle the “look what I found” crowd. Add beach games, and nobody is bored.
Comfort when you want it. Full air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a TV in the saloon, and Bluetooth audio (saloon, cockpit, and mast) make downtime easy when you are done being heroic in the water. There is also a BBQ for low-effort lunches that still feel like a plan.
