Charter a crewed 50-foot catamaran in the BVI for a family trip, a group of friends, or three to four couples. The yachts currently displayed accommodate six to eight guests, but cabin layouts differ. BVISAIL checks which cabins are available to your group before recommending a yacht.
The five yachts currently displayed publish regular weekly rates from $24,000 to $30,000, depending on the yacht and guest count. Holiday rates can be higher. These are published rates, not confirmed quotes or live availability; inclusions, taxes, gratuity, and other charges depend on the yacht’s terms.

|---|---|
| Typical capacity | 6–8 guests for many crewed BVI options; some layouts can accommodate more |
| Guest cabins | Usually 3–5, depending on model and crew setup |
| Typical crew | Captain and chef/host |
| Current displayed rate guidance | $24,000–$30,000 regular weekly rates for the five yachts currently displayed |

| Best fit | Families, three to four couples, and small groups |
Some sailors choose a 50-foot catamaran for its ideal capacity to comfortably accommodate guests on extended sailing trips, with ample room for supplies. Its unique layout, with most cabins in the hulls, offers both freedom and privacy.
Another reason travelers choose a 50-foot catamaran is that the charter rates may better align with their budget, whether they prefer sailing or power boats. Additionally, your choice and desired sailing destination determine the yacht type.
The final charter budget can change based on guest count, dates, holiday pricing, inclusions, taxes, gratuity, premium requests, and whether the yacht uses inclusive or plus-expenses terms.
| Catamaran Brand | Weekly Rate Range |
|---|---|
| Lagoon Catamarans | $15,000 – $40,000 |
| Leopard Catamarans | $20,000 – $35,000 |
| Fountaine Pajot Catamarans | $15,000 – $30,000 |
| Sunreef Yachts | $20,000 – $40,000 |
| Voyage Yachts | $15,000 – $20,000 |
The size and model of the yacht are key price factors. High-end catamarans like a 50-foot Sunreef Yacht like LENA come with a higher price tag. Other models like St. Francis and Lagoon are more reasonable. Other factors influencing charter costs include:
At CKIM, whether you choose an all-inclusive or plus all-expenses charter, you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for—no surprises.
BVISAIL can compare suitable yachts using the published rate, inclusions, exclusions, guest count, and likely additional costs.
Match Me With the Best CatamaranA 50-foot catamaran can be an excellent fit for six guests, often with three true guest cabins and sometimes a fourth cabin available. Three couples or a family of six can have private sleeping space while sharing generous saloon, cockpit, and outdoor areas.
A 50-foot catamaran can work very well for eight guests when the yacht provides four true guest cabins. This is a common configuration for two families or four couples. Confirm that all four cabins are available to guests because crew accommodation varies by yacht.
Some 50-foot catamarans can accommodate ten guests in five cabins, but maximum capacity does not necessarily provide equal comfort. For ten adults, compare cabin sizes, crew accommodation, storage, bathrooms, dining space, and a 55–60-foot alternative before choosing.
Length alone does not tell you whether a yacht fits your group. The cabin plan and crew accommodation are more important than the model’s total cabin count.
| Layout | Typical group | What to check |
| 3 guest cabins | Up to 6 guests | Bed sizes, ensuite bathrooms, owner’s-suite configuration |
| 4 guest cabins | Up to 8 guests | Four true guest suites, cabin equality, crew quarters |
| 5 guest cabins | Up to 10 guests | Whether all five cabins are for guests, storage, bathroom arrangements |
| Owner’s-suite layout | Couples or families prioritizing one larger suite | Trade-off between larger primary suite and equal cabins |
| Equal-cabin layout | Couples sharing the charter | Comparable beds, bathrooms, storage, and privacy |
| Consideration | 50-Foot Catamaran | 55–60-Foot Catamaran |
|---|---|---|
| Typical group | 6–8 guests; some layouts accommodate more | 8–10+ guests |
| Guest cabins | Usually 3–5 | Often 4–5+ |
| Privacy | Very good with the right layout | More separation and larger private spaces |
| Outdoor space | Generous cockpit, foredeck and sometimes flybridge | Usually more deck and lounging space |
| Storage | Moderate | Usually greater |
| Charter cost | Generally lower | Generally higher |
| Best fit | Families, three to four couples, smaller groups | Larger groups or guests prioritizing extra space |
A 60-foot catamaran is not automatically the better choice. For six or eight guests, a well-designed 50-footer may provide all the space and privacy the group needs at a lower charter rate. For ten adults, a larger yacht may provide more equal cabins, storage, and separation.
Why it matters: A 50-foot catamaran is large enough to feel like a floating resort, yet compact enough for easy navigation, stability, and docking in Caribbean harbors.
“Fifty foot catamarans are among the most popular yacht charter sizes because they provide generous outdoor living areas while still being agile enough to access shallow Caribbean anchorages.”

A sailing catamaran suits guests who value the sailing experience and relaxed island-hopping. A power catamaran can suit groups that prioritize cruising speed or want to cover longer distances. Fuel and expense structures can differ, so compare the complete charter terms rather than size alone.
A 50-foot catamaran is one of the most versatile sizes for Caribbean yacht charters. It offers the right balance of comfort, space, and cost, making it ideal for:
From snorkeling in the BVI, to sunset sails in the USVI, or exploring hidden coves in the Bahamas, a 50-foot catamaran provides everything you need for an amazing private yacht vacation.
Most crewed 50-foot catamarans include a professional captain and chef or chef/host in the charter arrangement. Food, beverages, fuel, cruising charges, moorings, and other operating costs may be included or charged separately depending on the yacht’s terms.
| Often included on inclusive charters | May be additional |
|---|---|
| Yacht, captain and chef/host | Crew gratuity |
| Guest accommodation | Premium wines and spirits |
| Meals aboard | Airport or ferry transfers |
| Standard beverages | Dockage or shore expenses where excluded |
| Normal cruising fuel on many inclusive yachts | Rendezvous diving, fishing licenses, or special activities |
| Listed water toys | Special provisioning or repositioning charges |
Always review the written inclusions and exclusions for the specific yacht. Do not assume that two similarly priced 50-foot catamarans include the same items.
For the crewed yachts featured by BVISAIL, the captain handles navigation, safety, yacht operations, and route planning. The chef or chef/host prepares meals and supports onboard service. Crew configuration varies, so confirm the number of crew and where they sleep before booking.
Crew fit matters alongside yacht design. Families may prioritize crew experience with children and flexible meals, while active groups may value watersports or scuba experience.
A crewed catamaran allows you to relax while professionals take care of sailing, meals, and service, giving you the ultimate private yacht vacation.
Ready to experience a luxury catamaran charter in the Caribbean? The shallow draft of a 50-foot catamaran makes it ideal for exploring secluded anchorages inaccessible to larger motor yachts. Whether you’re sailing the Virgin Islands, Bahamas, or Mediterranean, BVISAIL will match you with the perfect yacht, crew, and itinerary.
Many crewed 50-foot catamarans work particularly well for six to eight guests. Some five-cabin layouts can accommodate ten, but groups should compare guest cabins, crew quarters, storage, bathrooms, and dining capacity rather than relying on maximum occupancy alone.
The five yachts currently displayed on this page publish regular weekly rates from $24,000 to $30,000, depending on the yacht and guest count. Holiday pricing and additional expenses vary by yacht, so confirm a complete quote for your dates.

Choose based on how you want to travel rather than size alone. Sailing cats emphasize the sailing experience, while power cats can cover longer distances more quickly; fuel and expense terms may also differ.
Some five-cabin models can accommodate ten guests, but maximum capacity may not provide equal comfort for ten adults. Compare the layout with a 55–60-foot catamaran if privacy, cabin equality, and storage are priorities.
For six to eight guests, a 50-footer can provide an excellent balance of space and cost. A 55–60-foot yacht may suit larger groups or travelers who want larger cabins, more storage, and greater separation between shared and private spaces.
