Why Choose a Catamaran?

Cruising is all about FREEDOM – Freedom from hassle, freedom to get where you want to go fast, and freedom from the confinement of a cramped cabin and cockpit once you arrive.

Freedom from Hassle

Catamarans are easy to sail and to motor – you have plenty of room to move around and the two engines make maneuvering under power a joy once you get the feel of it. How about the hassle of finding a good anchorage with enough water. Not a problem here - catamarans draw 4' or less so you can anchor where you want. And remember that old hassle of stowing everything away, or of catching drinks and dinner as they go sliding across the counter every time you heel – or worse wiping up the resulting spills and breakage? Catamarans free you from all that – they don’t heel! What a pleasure! Everything stays where you put it, and you never have the hassle of wiping up spills, or the endless stowing to avoid accidents with every gust or sailing maneuver.

Freedom of speed

Catamarans are stable and fast – in any kind of breeze you will find yourself boiling along at 8-10 knots or more. And if there is no breeze at all, your twin diesels will push you along comfortably. So you cover more ground, see more and spend more time discovering the adventures in each new anchorage.

Freedom from Confinement

Once you reach your destination, the real fun begins! In the Belize-43 you will have plenty of room for 6-8 adults in 4 roomy staterooms. But remember, people never spend much time in their staterooms – the more important thing is the huge airy cockpit level main salon with wrap-around view . You won’t find yourselves constantly stepping on each other like on a mono-hull. There’s easy seating for 8 around the huge bean-shaped table, and also in the breezy covered cockpit – where you will spend most of your time and eat most of your meals around the roomy cockpit table. And the open galley is a joy to work in – you don’t have to forsake the view or remove yourself from the party – you are right in the middle of it!

The swimming stairs at the stern of each hull are wonderful for getting in and out of the dinghy and the water – or just to get closer to the water to dip your toes. And don’t forget the wonderful trampoline – plenty of room for all of you (or maybe just a few!) to stretch out and watch the shooting stars in cool breezy comfort. Spotting a shooting star makes the perfect ending to each perfect day – you’ll find yourself wishing your cruise would never end.

Once you’ve cruised in a fast, spacious catamaran, you will never want to go back to a mono-hull. And once you’ve cruised the Belize-43 you will never want another catamaran – it’s the ultimate boat for the ultimate adventure.
