I went through everything free in your window. Three are worth your time. I would put Andiamo first — below I say why, and why not the other two.
Seven is a lot to hold in your head. Use the buttons on each yacht to keep the ones you like and set aside the ones you do not — the page remembers your choices, and everyone in the group can do their own pass.
Bali 54 · sailing catamaran · 2023 · Tortola, Village Cay Marina




Four cabins of near-equal standing. With four couples, that is the whole game: nobody draws the short straw, and nobody has to have that conversation on day one.
The Bali layout is unusual. Instead of a separate cockpit and saloon there is one open space you can close up and air-condition. Forward, where trampolines normally sit, there is seating. For eight people who actually want to be in the same room, that is a real difference.
Tender with 50 HP outboard, two paddleboards, sea scooter, snorkel gear, wakeboard, towable tube, floating mat, fishing gear, Bluetooth sound system, deck shower, saloon TV, reef-safe toiletries.
Lagoon 55 · sailing catamaran · 2025 · Tortola BVI or St Thomas USVI




The largest and most refined of the three, with a separate saloon and cockpit. The toy locker is on another level: an e-foil and two SeaBobs.
If someone in the group is serious about watersports, or you want the option of disappearing from the others for an hour, this is the boat.
Eight-person tender with 60 HP, FlightScooter e-foil, two SeaBobs, two-person kayak, two paddleboards, two floating chairs, snorkel gear, fishing gear, beach games, deck shower, hairdryers, saloon TV.
Lagoon 52 · sailing catamaran · 2026 · Tortola, Village Cay Marina




The lowest rate of the three and the newest hull — a 2026 boat. You save $3,100 against Andiamo, which is $775 a couple.
A different layout from the Bali: separate saloon, separate cockpit. If you would rather be able to shut a door between dinner and the deck, that counts in her favour.
Tender, fishing gear with two trolling rods, floating mat, two two-person kayaks, kneeboard, two sea scooters, snorkel gear for eight, two paddleboards, hydraulic swim platform, two towable tubes, wakeboard, deck shower, saloon TV.
I have two more for these dates. Out of the Blue is Andiamo's sister ship, but one cabin has a wet head rather than a separate shower. Good Ol' Days is a brand-new five-cabin boat carrying a 5% introductory discount. I have left them out so this does not turn into a catalogue — say the word and I will send them across.
| Stage | When | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Free hold | Right now, one email | $0 — release it any time, no consequences |
| Signing the contract | Once your group has decided | 50% of the charter rate |
| Balance | Two months before departure | The remaining 50% |
| Crew gratuity | Last day, handed to the crew | 15–20% of the rate, at your discretion |
Worth knowing: all funds are non-refundable. I always advise against skipping trip cancellation insurance — with a group of eight, the odds that something comes up for somebody are not small.
Pick the yacht, add your name, and press send. Nothing here commits you to anything — a hold can be released at any time.
