catatonic-crewed catamaran, lagoon 44
January 2012- New Cook, and New Guest Reviews up for Catatonic on my blog here...
Nov 11
Based out of Red Hook in the USVI, Catatonic is an owner's version Lagoon 44 which ideally takes up to 6 guests, but they can turn the galley into an additional queen sized bed in the BVI to make up to 8. However, this would make it quite a tight fit.
Always a tough job finding space on this popular owner version, Catatonic has a new crew on board for her very busy season this year. I spent quite a bit of time with this crew at the St Thomas boat show and really enjoyed them.
Captain Owen Johnson joins us from Boothbay Harbor, Maine with excellent qualifications in diving, yacht maintenance and operations. Owen boasts both transatlantic deliveries as well as several charters and deliveries in the British Virgin Islands. He is also an experienced lobsterman! Owen looks forward to sharing his life long love of sailing with you. He may even show you his favorite surfing spots!
Catatonic can also be booked fully crewed, or as captain/mate only program. Rates run from between $9000.00 to $13,500.00 plus gratuities.
The owners added on all the extras that they want to have when they are down here, so in addition to the normal stock charter items there are some extras: WiFi / Internet, SAT TV, Towing Ring, Kneeboard, Wakeboard, 2x1-man Kayak(s), Fishing Equipment, Waterskis (adult), Wii gaming system, ipod ready Stereo, MacBook on board for guest use, iTunes library with 5000 songs.
I think I would do the bowling that comes with Wii though at home and just enjoy the islands. I always love the "nifty gadgets" that some boats by every year, (although they generally wear out the same year too from my experience!) and Catatonic has just added a neat little system that allows you to get up in the middle of the night and make yourself quick brewed tea, coffee and hot chocolate of assorted varieties.
You can see a recently done video on the yacht here as well.
There are several other links here that will have up to date information and pictures.
