There's a Blubay 92 and a Catana 90 for sale at the moment... anyone know of anything else in the luxury range?

Skipper for 50 foot cat in Bahamas

September 8, 2009 by caribcat

Details to follow, but for now it's a newly refitted cat to perform possibly skipper only charters in the Bahamas.

BVI SVC stability test

September 8, 2009 by caribcat

Well it was bound to happen, but the BVI are now asking for a stability booklet to be produced for annual SCV inspections and multihulls are no longer excluded. This is for all boats under 24m operating commercially (for any form of financial gain for the owner) under a BVI flag. The problem is that very few of the cats this applies to were ever built to MCA compliance therefore these weren't ever done from the factory so it might involve having these done by an MCA surveyor at a quoted cost of $2500-3000. Also the amount of customization that has occurred on most boats would void a 'standard' one anyway.

Re: Mega catamaran vc megayacht - pros and cons...

May 19, 2009 by caribcat

Bit late to answer (sorry) but what size boats are we comparing here?  The term 'mega' has become a little stretched! I'm sure I can offer some input, just want to make sure I'm in the right direction for you.

Re: alarm system

May 15, 2009 by caribcat

FYI I fitted a great system, took a while to get it together but it definitely does the trick. 

All hatches are wired, doors and living spaces too.  Chimes if any one walks up the gangway. Sends an sms message if there is an intrusion, battery levels get low, temperature raises etc etc.

Can post details if interested.

I've sent you an email and emailed the owner with your details. Price is up there, but the boat is in incredible condition -many of the big items are new.

alarm system

July 18, 2008 by caribcat

I've been tasked with spec'ing an alarm system on a 70 foot cat -the owner needs infa red triggers in the transoms and a keyfob to switch the whole thing of remotely, sms notification if there is an alarm and then zones though-out the boat.

There is nothing that I know off that will do this being offered by marine companies -can anyone suggest an alternative?

Nice L57 for sale

July 17, 2008 by caribcat

I've been told of a late model carbon decked Lagoon 57 coming up for sale, has just had a 500k refit following a circumnavigation. It's an owners version but would still make a great charter yacht (it did a spell of this and booked really well). Might be of interest to someone?
