TradeWinds Antigua Cruise

The Yachts

We have a number of beautiful fully-equipped Catamarans available, depending on your sailing area:

Royal Cape 45

The Royal Cape 45 Catamarans are built in South Africa. They are 14 meters long and 8.30 meters wide. They displace 18 tons. They have fully equipped galleys with microwave and fridge freezer. Equally, in your stateroom you have easy to clean, en-suite shower units.

The Royal Cape 45 can make 10 knots under sail quite comfortably using around 118 m2 sail area. When we need to motor fast they are equipped with two 60 hp Volvo engines. Royal Capes will also hold 400 gallons of water and they have the capacity to make 50 gallons per hour with their own desalination plant.

Royal Capes sleep 12 comfortably, including two crew members and they are smooth to control.

Marquise 56

Expansive, wide and very comfortable the Marquise 56’s are, apart from the Explorer, our biggest and most luxurious catamarans. Coming aboard from the teak-lined transom sugar scoops, up the stairs to the cockpit with its twin folding tables beckons one to sit, relax and enjoy the Caribbean in the shade provided by our custom-designed awnings. Upon entering the Salon through sliding doors, you will notice that it is divided into 4 sections each with its own functionality providing you, our guests, with the ability to have an uncluttered common area. The horseshoe table with ample seating for 8 people makes dining, as well as game playing or just relaxing, a more 'spacious' experience.

Across from the large table is a two-seat couch designed for reading, comfort and relaxation. Just in front of the reading couch is a galley and wet bar with refrigerator, sinks, stove and storage areas. This allows easy access to cold drinks and snacks during the day and is used in cooking preparations for lunch and dinner.

From the Salon you descend a couple of steps to reach the private bedrooms with queen sized beds and en-suite bathrooms complete with hot and cold showers. Beautiful wood joinery highlights the beauty of these spacious cabins. The Marquise will sleep 8 with separate crew quarters.
