55-Foot Catamaran: Best in Space, Comfort, and Luxury
Need more space than a 45-foot sailing yacht? A 55-foot catamaran gives you plenty of room, with space for up to 10 guests in 4 to 5 private cabins. It lets you cruise through the beautiful BVI in comfort. While there are many sailing catamarans this size, power cats can be limited.
You can charter a 55-foot catamaran in three ways, whichever best suits your comfort and travel style:
Bareboat – If you have the required sailing certifications, you can captain it yourself.
Captain-Only – A professional skipper handles the sailing, while you take care of everything else.
Fully Crewed – Includes a captain and chef for a complete luxury experience.
If you want to explore beyond the Caribbean, charter a 55-foot catamaran in the Bahamas, Croatia, or Greece.
Wherever you sail, BVISAIL’s Yacht Charter Brokers are here to help. We’ll find the right 55-foot catamaran and plan your trip so you can relax and enjoy an amazing yachting adventure.

Is a 55-Foot Catamaran the Right Choice for Your Group?
A 50-foot and 55-foot catamaran offer space and comfort. A 55-footer has more room for larger groups, while a 50-footer is easier to handle and budget-friendly. Both are roomier than a 45-footer and easier to manage than a 60-footer.
A 55-foot catamaran has plenty of space for up to 12 guests, making it great for families, friends, or special trips. It’s more spacious than a 45-foot yacht but easier to handle than a 60+ foot yacht, which requires more crew and planning.
Luxury Amenities for a Premium Experience
Modern builders design 55-foot catamarans for comfort and style. They often include:
Flybridges – Raised outdoor seating areas with great views.
Open Living Spaces – Easy flow between indoor and outdoor areas for a roomy feel.
Water Toys – Paddleboards, snorkeling gear, and even seabobs for extra fun.
Smooth Sailing and Stability
Because of their two-hull design, catamarans sail more smoothly and don’t tilt as much as regular sailboats. This also makes them a great choice for first-time sailors, families, or anyone who wants a more comfortable trip.

“Best Boat Experience Ever!! The hospitality that we were greeted with was unmatched. Ariq was the best chef, and Rob knows how to make a mean Espresso Martini. I can honestly say the crew made our trip. We all had a great time. The BVI is incredibly beautiful. We are very grateful to have had this experience and share it with this dynamic duo. Not only were they attentive to our every need, but both Rob and Ariq bring a lot of personality. It wouldn’t have been the same without them. Ask Ariq for the Caprese and the mango BBQ. They’re amazing. And make sure to ask Rob for his life story. Would love to come back.“
Tom & Kitty on Katlo
“It is such a pleasure to recommend an Adventure on Katlo. Remi and Jessa are the ultimate hosts. From our meeting them at the airport, they have done everything possible to ensure we had the ultimate BVI sailing experience! We had the opportunity to visit many islands, snorkel and swim, laugh alot and relax. Jessa is a fabulous chef and spoiled us with delicious food and spectacular presentations. We cannot begin to express what a wonderful time we have had made possible by Remi’s knowledge and tours. Thank you for taking such great care of us. We hope to return!“
Natialie and Monte on Forever Young
“While it would be easy to attribute this to great weather, a new boat, countless water toys, and a fantastic mattress, the absolutely biggest factor driving our view has been by far, the hospitality of Brian and Elena. Brian has been all-in in helping us achieve our efoil dreams with professional instruction and enthusiastic encouragement, while exposing us to a whole set of other water activities. Elena’s AMAZING creativity in the preparation of every meal has kept us in awe the entire trip. Her passion for creating memorable dining events in clear and shee truely delivers Michelin-star quality at every meal – incredible!“
