Destination

Frequently asked questions.

There are many ways to enjoy a place. From cycling routes to spending several nights from dinner to dinner enjoying the gastronomy of the destination. However, none of these ways you can think of can ever be bought with what yacht chartering entails. Thanks to yacht charter you can enjoy the islands in a different way, from another point of view. Renting a boat is much more affordable than you can imagine, so luxury yacht charter is no longer reserved for just a few. In addition, you have different options when choosing your yacht charter.

The best experiences are the ones you can share with family or friends. Chartering a boat between islands is one of those experiences worth sharing. As this is an activity that is not carried out alone, you can choose a larger or smaller boat depending on your needs. If there are only a few of you and you need a fast boat that can navigate well between the coves, you can opt for a sailboat rental. If there are more of you in the group, about eight people, and you want a more spacious boat that also moves less, your option is to choose a catamaran. The choice of the type of boat will never condition your experience, that is, you will be able to enjoy the best of a boat in any of the islands. One of the advantages of renting one of these boats for your vacations is that you can adapt the rental to your needs. Thanks to this possibility you can change year after year.

Boat rentals have a very obvious advantage, offering you the possibility to enjoy a boat without owning one. This allows anyone to enjoy one of these boats whenever they want, so you can schedule a vacation when it is in your best interest by choosing the boat you like the most. This advantage is even interesting for boat owners. Being able to rent a different model each time means not being tied to the same boat forever. This way, thanks to this possibility you can choose a different boat each time, adapting the characteristics of the boat to the group's needs. On the other hand, chartering a boat also means having an experienced captain. These professionals will take care of taking the boat wherever you want, so you will not have to worry about maneuvering at any time nor do you need any knowledge of navigation to be able to relax on the boat. Just tell the captain where you want to go and he will gladly take you.

The possibilities when it comes to enjoying a boat, yacht or motorboat are enormous. To begin with, it means having a means of transportation that is not limited to the road. This is ideal for navigating between the different beaches or coves. We are talking about islands with miles of coastline, so you can access places that otherwise would be impossible to reach or, at least, it would cost quite a lot to do so by other means of road transport. Forget about crowded beaches, about having to look for parking when arriving at the beach, about carrying your towel and umbrella along the sand until you get to the shore of the beach... being on a boat, yacht or boat rental. you will be able to enjoy a privileged place on the beach where no one will bother you. You will be able to sunbathe, snorkel, swim at your leisure... and, of course, have a snack on board the boat. There are innumerable conveniences that exist when it comes to having a charter boat. Enjoying a sunset, having a glass of champagne in the middle of the sea, snorkeling without being disturbed... having a charter boat means having access to a lot of advantages that allow you to see the islands from another point of view, tranquility in a bustling island. In short, now you have it easier than ever to enjoy one of these boats. If you want to live a completely unique experience and not fall into monotony, we recommend that you take a look at our boats and yachts and start planning your next vacation. With boat rentals or yacht charters, you will no longer see the islands in the same way and you will discover a lot of different ways to enjoy with family or friends. Are you ready to sail?

San   diego   catamaran     c h a r t e r  , san diego catamaran charter options.

West Coast Multihulls offers visitors the best in San Diego sailing charter vacations. Sun, temperate climate, a vibrant city and some of the best cruising waters in America make San Diego Bay the premier charter destination on the West Coast.

Captained Charters

Leave all your worries behind as you and your favorite people cruise the bay or ocean in style. For a crewed catamaran charter in San Diego, NO SAILING EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED. You will board one of our spacious catamarans and simply enjoy the ride as you explore San Diego Bay, the ocean outside the bay, or even head off to Mission Bay, Catalina or other points of interest.

Captained charters mean that the yacht is rented with a professional crew consisting of at least a licensed captain who is responsible for the maneuvering of the yacht. In some cases the captain is aided by other crew members as well. Typically they operate solo.

Bareboat Charters

You and your crew are free to choose your own itinerary, and experience the thrill of full command of a modern sailing catamaran.

We accept ASA 114 Certifications. Note that charterers holding ASA 114 Certification, but lacking prior bareboat catamaran charter experience will be required to hire one of our licensed captains for a supplemental training at the beginning of their first bareboat charter with WCM.

Charter Itinerary Ideas for Sailing San Diego

Whether a bareboat charter, or a private charter with captain, the choice of where to go is largely yours to make. So, we get asked all the time:

What should we do? Where should we go? What is there to do when sailing around San Diego?

There is plenty to do, and the specifics have to do more with your interests than anything else. So let us know what you’re interested in, how you like to spend your time, and we help you craft an itinerary that makes the most of what this great sailing area has to offer.

Scroll through some of these great ideas…

Key things to consider:

• If your group includes kids, don’t try to do to much, in particular sailing. Make sure to plan for plenty of water play and/or beach time.
• If your group includes those prone to sea sickness, plan to stay inside the bay. They’ll have MUCH more fun, and you can get in a lot of great sailing without worrying about everyone else’s comfort.
• If you’re new to sailing, and new to San Diego, you’ll have a licensed captain along that is very familiar with all the great spots to go. Explain to them what your preferences are, and then sit back and let them do all the work!
• Find a San Diego festival, conference or concert, and schedule your charter around this event. It’s a unique way to experience San Diego, and you’ll have better lodging than anyone else!

Here are some sample San Diego sailing itineraries to get your gears turning:

Long weekend around San Diego Bay Day 1: Glorietta Bay Day 2: Coronado Cays Day 3: La Playa Cove Day 4: Back to WCM

Or… a weeklong coastal hopping getaway to Catalina Day 1: SD-Oceanside Day 2: O-Side to Newport Day 3: Newport to Two Harbors, Catalina Day 4: Explore Catalina Day 5: Two Harbors to Avalon, fun ashore Day 6: Avalon to Mission Bay Day 7: Mission Bay to WCM Harbor Island

Long Weekend San Diego Bay Day One: Sail from WCM to Glorietta Bay at Coronado, Wander the beaches ashore, do a pub crawl, get in a game of golf or cruise the cute downtown area and sample the excellent variety of restaurants.

Day Two: Start your day with a surfing session right across the road. Have a lovely midday sail past embarcadero and Nimitz on the way to La Playa Cove, tucked behind Shelter Island. Explore the marinas in the dinghy, stop by Fathom Brewing and Bistro on the fishing pier, and relax on the hook. If you time it right, you might be able to take in a concert at Humphrey’s from your dinghy – a classic San Diego experience.

Day Three: Wake late, make breakfast aboard, and take a short morning sail out to the ocean to look for whales and dolphins. Time your return with the tide and zoom back into the bay all the way back to the WCM base at Harbor Islands Safe Harbor Sunroad.

Long Weekend Mission Bay: Your Mission, should you accept it, is to grab your catamaran from WCM in San Diego Bay, and sail north (about 9 miles or so) to Mission Bay, specifically Mariner’s Cove, where you will partake in beach living at it’s finest. Wake with the sun, swim, walk the beach, surf, grab cocktails, eat a nice meal ashore. Rinse and repeat. This message will not self-destruct, but you might if you don’t plan your escape to Mission Bay today.

Heard Around The Docks...

Our first Sailing adventure was with West Coast Multihulls, and it was easily the most remarkable experience of our lives. With 2 kids, we were unsure where to start. WCM and Captain Ryan both went above and beyond to ensure that my entire family enjoyed every aspect of our trip. It's all our kids want to talk about since getting back on land. We can't wait to come back! Josh C

I took my wife and her friends out for her birthday. Capitan Trevor is the man, and made sure everyone had the best time possible. The next day she told me it was her best birthday yet. I highly recommend! jtmartin77 - via TripAdvisor

I wish I could give our experience 10 stars. 11 ladies took a morning cruise for my bachelorette, and it was the perfect laid back morning I was looking for. The boat was beyond amazing: plenty of lounge area, a big table for eating, a fridge to load everything into and speakers for jams... everyone had the best time! Amanda H

Seawind 1260 Catamaran

YOUR BAREFOOT PATH TO YACHT OWNERSHIP

The Seawind 1260 won Cruising World’s prestigious “Boat of the Year” for 2019.  With that in mind, it’s a great time to update you on a few programmes to help bring this boat within reach.  It might be more cost-effective to buy one than you think…

A PRUDENT PURCHASE

As Cruising World rightly identified, what makes the Seawind 1260 special is that she is a perfect cruising boat for exploring the world.  But often the budget dictates that you should not spend cash on your perfect boat.  So it’s right to point out that it can also make a good charter boat – and one that will still have plenty of life left in it once it finishes its tour in charter.  Here is an example of the returns you would get if you placed a 4-cabin, 2-heads, Seawind 1260 in Charter with our friends at Barefoot Yacht Charter in the Grenadines.

EXAMPLE:  GRENADINES

The “Max ROI”-type programme can offer up to 16.5% returns on a 4-cabin, 2 heads Seawind 1260.  However it can be practical as well as financially astute practical.  It’s based on revenue sharing with the charter operator.  In other words, when charters start turning a profit (after all costs are accounted for) the profits are split between the operator and the boat owner.  So that means the operator doesn’t start making a profit until you do.  But on the other hand, if there were a bad year the revenue isn’t guaranteed. In such a year the boat might never transition from covering costs to generating revenue.

FIXED RETURN

If no firm guarantee of revenue return has you concerned, then it might be a fixed-return model which works for you.  This programme guarantees a return of 8.5% annually.  But it’s capped at 8.5%.  In a really good year you don’t have the potential to earn up to the 16.5% max in the “Max ROI” programme.  You’ll just tick along at 8.5% per year until you’re ready to leave the programme and go cruising.

ALTERNATIVES

When it comes to putting your Seawind 1260 into Charter, you might have some other locations in mind.  Seawind has relationships with charter operators in the Whitsundays, Croatia, Seattle, the Abacos, and the Grenadines shown in the illustration above.   And What will you offer, and how does this set you apart from the competition?  Let’s make sure your boat is the only game in town – offering fun, excitement, and economy in the proportions you see fit.  Our team are familiar with many of the best business models on the market, so don’t be afraid to speak to us on ways we can help your business to differentiate.  And many Seawind 1160 RESORT owners are repeat buyers – that means they have tried and tested experience in the commercial world of day charter.

THE KEY METRICS

Serious considerations might be based not on the charter returns but on other criteria – such as where you want to start cruising when you do take your boat out of charter, or how close to home you want it. Perhaps you’ll be using your boat in the off season to train up and prepare for your big adventure. Whichever location you might have in mind, it’s worth talking to Seawind early on, because we might be able to help make the dream a reality sooner than you think.

Seawind 1370

The Seawind 1370 , a 45 footer, builds on the success of the  42 foot Seawind 1260.

Designed by François PERUS and Romain SCOLARI of the Yacht Design Collective (who are the team behind the ITA 14.99), it’s a fine looking boat with sleek boxy lines and reverse bows, influenced by the Seawind 1600 which has a more refined look than its predecessors. With that longeron, she is starting to look like a Gunboat. This yacht will be competing with the likes of the Catana Ocean Class (which probably sits between this boat and the Seawind 1600)

It’s a Seller The new model was designed from the ground up, and has had a very successful launch. Seawind have filled up their order book for the next 5 years.  The Australian manufacturer has built over 700 boats in the 35-42ft range, and this is their first “mid-range” cat.

The Seawind 1370 has gone for a galley-up design like the 1600, with an Open design with saloon, galley, cockpit and helms all on one level. They have opted for the usual Seawind mix of performance and comfort that is comparable to a Nautitech. It’s more of a fast cruising cat than a performance cat. Even so, this is built with a completely different philosophy to something like the Bali Catspace which is targeted squarely at the charter market. The 1370 is targeted at owners setting off on long passages.

The boat weighs in at 11 tonnes–very light for a 45-footer, and she will soak up weight well for longer passages. She is available in 4 configurations: 3 cabins/2 heads, 3 cabins/3 heads, 4 cabins/2 heads and 4 cabins/4 heads.

• Light and nippy (11 tonnes light)
• Constructed using Closed Cell PVC Foam (no balsa)
• Good load carrying capability
• Points well upwind for a keel cat
• Fully protected helms
• Sheets, reefs and halyards lead aft to electric winches at the helms
• A low boom that hugs the coachroof: it’s easy to access the mainsail, and this keeps the centre of effort low making a for seaworthy boat in a blow.
• Open plan living maximises the living space.
• Above average finish for a production cat.
• Great ventilation at anchor with 2 forward windows that open right up.
• Forward facing nav station
• Lots of solar power negating the need for a generator
• Good value. Seawinds are built in Vietnam.
• Visibility from the helm. Seawind have worked hard on this with sliding windows in front of the helm and clean sight lines, but the bottom line is that you helm from inside. That’s your compromise for all that protection from the elements. There are clear panes above the helms to check the sails and you can perch on the deck beside the helm but it is more enclosed than the 1260 and 1600 which has more “half in, half out” helms.
• No visibility of the mainsail from the saloon.
• In marinas, you are going to be running between those helms to check your distances. Whatever anyone says, you won’t trust your judgement looking through glass.
• The outside dining area is pretty small for a 45 footer.

Seawinds are known for their sailing ability and the 1370 shouldn’t disappoint on that front. She comes with an 80 sqm square top mainsail and a 36 sqm self tacker. They have moved the mast back on this design versus previous models which gives you a more powerful jib and a nicely balanced sail set up (which is an old Prout trick by the way).

The 1370 has fixed keels so she won’t point as high as a daggerboard cat like the Balance 482 but she’s no slouch upwind, particularly when the wind freshens up.

Balanced Sail Plan The larger jib is somewhere between a traditional self tacking solent and a manual tacking genoa which will help in lighter winds without having to fly sails off the bowsprit. At only 11 tonnes, she will get going quickly.

The boom on the Seawind 1370 is low which lowers the centre of effort of the mainsail: all helping her seaworthiness and it also helps to improve the ride. The hull shape has been designed to reduce pitching and give you a smoother motion through the waves.

The hulls are chimed (a design feature perfected by Catana and something that has evolved from the 1600) to give you more living space, particularly in the aft cabin. The hulls are still slender and that means they will still slip through the water nicely.

Bridgedeck clearance is a decent 0.85m with a little wave breaker to help disperse wave energy in a seaway. The weight distribution (fuel, water etc) has been kept low, following the Seawind design DNA.

Fully Protected Helms….the Seawind Way The helm position is typically Seawind: fully protected with views forward through the saloon. All working lines lead back to the helm with 2 winches and clutches at each helm station. If you want even further protection, you can head to the forward facing nav station in the saloon. With covers and clears up, you can extend your protected area all of the way back.

Clear panels above the helms give you a view of your sails from the helm seat and if you want to go for more sailing feel, you can perch on the side of the deck and helm from there. It is noticeable that the design is more enclosed than the 1600 or even the 1260 which has more “half in, half out” double helms.

Options for your sail locker include a screecher, flown off the end of the longeron, gennaker and a spinnaker,

Construction

The 1370 is constructed using PVC closed cell foam: no balsa is used unlike some of the more popular French production catamarans. The hulls are reinforced with a combination of E-Glass and carbon fibre and the bow area has a skin of kevlar to protect against impact. This catamaran has been designed to be a tough boat for world cruising.

Living Space

The saloon and aft cockpit are on one level and the whole space opens up creating one big living platform. There are some nice touches here, like the breakfast bar that extends off the galley into the aft cockpit. The saloon table sits to port and a U-shaped galley is starboard behind the forward facing nav station.

Good Flow There’s a nice flow to the design with the starboard steps down into the hulls further forward. The forward windows open right up to maximise the ventilation at anchor.

It’s not huge in the saloon compared to other production cats, but that’s because the saloon is tucked behind the mast which is in itself positioned further back to balance the sail plan. That keeps the weight off the bow remember, you can’t have everything.

When you open the whole area up, however, there is plenty of space.

Thanks to those inboard and outboard chimes, there’s also plenty of room down below for such a nippy cat, particularly in the master cabin forward but also in the aft cabin(s) where you have a full double berth.

With over 2m of head height throughout the 1370, this is a boat that feels roomy down below. The master cabin has a big double arranged athwartships with views over the sea and plenty of ventilation.

3 Cabin 2 Heads version

The coachroof will fit 1900W of solar, more than they currently fit on the 1600. With an option for lithium batteries from Mastervolt, you can provide all of the power you need by running your engines every now and then to top up your batteries. This includes being able to run stuff like A/C, induction stove tops, electric oven and a microwave.

The standard power unit is twin Yanmar 40HP sail drives with an option to upgrade to 45HP, and maybe even 57s which have the same block size as the 45s. It’s worth the upgrade as you’ll get the same boat speed with less revs and with a lower fuel burn for a minimal weight penalty.

Is there an option for daggerboards? No. The 1370 has been designed as a robust world cruiser. She’s not bad upwind though.

What size dinghy is optimal for the 1370? Seawind are recommending a 3.6m tender

What is the Price of a Seawind 1370? How much does this catamaran cost? We will state our usual qualifier, which is that the price will heavily depend on the options you go for, but to give you an idea, you will start the conversation at around US$700,000 ex tax. Add around $150k for options. It is competitively priced against other cruising catamarans.

We really like the look of the Seawind 1370 and there are some nice design touches on this catamaran. Seawind have obviously focused on the detail, an example being the design of the anchor and bridle system. She looks a great compromise between comfort and performance and has been built to withstand some knocks.

I’d need to test out that helm position and visibility sailing and when in the marina. She is going to be easy to back into a berth with dual controls for the engines- it’s more manoeuvring around the marina and trimming your sails that I’d want to test. Your only problem might be getting hold of one, as the demand for this new design has been so high.

*Gratuities for charters are generally discretionary, but they are an important way to show your appreciation for the crew's hard work and dedication during your trip.

Suggested Itinerary

Obviously, weather and conditions may dictate where you want to go and when.  There are many options to choose from, so make it a vacation you and your crew will never forget!

Upon arrival in Marsh Harbour airport where your taxi will be waiting, head to Maxwells Grocery to provision for your trip if needed. The Jib Room Restaurant located at the marina is more than happy to welcome you with a cold beverage and satisfying meal! Wednesday and Saturday evenings you will find dinner specials with live music. A short walk from the marina is a small beach and Mermaid Reef where you can spend time swimming amongst the tropical fish.

Set sail for Treasure Cay and grab a mooring ball to enjoy one of the most beautiful beaches in the Bahamas OR sail off to Great Guana Cay and anchor off of Fisher Bay or Great Cay Harbour.  Guana is home to two legendary tiki bar/restaurants - Nippers and Grabbers .  Enjoy a meal or take a dip in their pools or dive the third largest reef in the world just off the beach at Nippers.

Upon leaving either of the chosen destinations above, make way to either the protected waters of Man-O-War Cay to wander their quaint, quiet village OR head for Elbow Cay where you can grab a mooring ball in Hope Town Harbour or anchor off the cay to dinghy in for your days activities.  Explore the historic light house and harbour shops and restaurants. If you need fuel, gas, water, ice, or provisions you can find it all in the harbour area. Consider renting a golf cart to see the entire island where you can explore the beaches or visit some of our favorite spots like Firefly , Abaco Inn , or On Da Beach !

Anchor off of famous Tahiti Beach at the South end of Elbow Cay or anchor off of Tilloo or Lubbers Quarter Cay.  Dinghy in to have a cold drink or meal at Lubber’s Landing or spend the day swimming or sunbathing at the beach. 

Head to historical Little Harbor, where you can take a short dinghy ride in from your mooring ball or anchorage and visit Pete’s Pub to unwind, grab a drink and a fresh catch meal.  While you are there, take time to wander the grounds and see the bronze statues made there at the foundry, visit the gallery, and head to the beach on the ocean side to collect shells, or swim in the shallow sandy waters of the harbour. Take a short hike to the old lighthouse ruins and if there is a big ocean swell running, walk down to the cliff where you'll find a blowhole known as the Dragon. 

 Leave plenty of time to return to the charter base to check out at the assigned time. Have one last visit to Jib Room Restaurant before departing for the airport.

ERGONOMIC & PRACTICAL

Seawind Catamarans’ sustained success over so many years is built on key values which are part of our DNA. Mostly centered around the practical requirements of owning a catamaran sailboat, these include excellent helm viability, open and free flow living, great airflow, simple controls and ergonomic sailboat design.

FUNCTION OVER FORM

Seawind Catamarans cockpits have grab rails and tether points in all the right places. After all, we are real sailors who know that when you’re zipping along at over 20 knots, you definitely want to be able to hold on.

“Unsurprisingly, we’re awarding the Seawind 1600 10/10 for Safety and Design. We were very impressed!” – Sailing Yacht Ruby Rose

The decks of our Seawind 1600 catamaran are completely clear of any hazards: sheets run back along line rails, keeping them out the way, and the daggerboards on all Seawind Catamarans models (with this feature) are recessed into the hull. Lockers and hatches all flush to the deck. So, if you’re moving around the deck while underway, you don’t need to worry about tripping over something and hurting yourself or, worst case scenario, going overboard.

You’ll find everything onboard a Seawind cruising catamaran feels as though it is where it should be. Handholds are found in all the right places, steps are all at convenient locations, seating is comfortable and you’ll find lighting and light switches easy to access and easy to use. Small touches, we know, but it is the attentions to detail we place in our catamaran sailboat designs that keep owners happy and it supports the reason why our sailboats have the highest rates of repeat buyers as compared to any other catamaran builder.
