Three yachts I would put your group on

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.

What the rate already covers

Every meal Breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner, provisioned around your group’s preferences.
The ship’s bar All drinks on board. Only top-shelf spirits and wine run extra.
Fuel and water toys Everything on the boat, with no hourly charges.
Crew and itinerary Captain and chef. The route is built around you and adjusted for weather.
The one cost on top Crew gratuity, customarily 15–20% of the rate. Discretionary in name, expected in practice.
My pick

Andiamo

Bali 54 · sailing catamaran · 2023 · Tortola, Village Cay Marina

Andiamo
AndiamoAndiamoAndiamo

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.

What not to expectThe open layout means sound carries the length of the deck. Whoever turns in early will hear the rest of the party.
$35,000 $625 per person / night  ·  $1,250 per couple / night 7 nights, 8 guests, everything included. Crew gratuity on top.

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.

What not to expectSomeone else already holds these dates provisionally. I have to confirm availability before I promise you anything — that is a real risk, not a formality.
$43,500 $777 per person / night  ·  $1,554 per couple / night $8,500 more than Andiamo — which works out to $1,063 per couple for the whole week.

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.

What not to expectShe is new to the market, so I do not yet have guest reviews. She is under management I know and trust — but that is trust in the operator, not a crew with a track record.
$31,900 $570 per person / night  ·  $1,139 per couple / night The lowest rate available in your window at this standard.

What’s on board

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.

Terms and payments

StageWhenAmount
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.
