The Exumas, Bahamas

Catamaran Sailing

Stability, space, and the open Caribbean sea

Sail on Two Hulls

Catamarans are the fastest-growing segment of the sailing world — and for good reason. Their stability, spacious decks, and shallow draft make them ideal for Caribbean cruising. If you're looking to charter a catamaran or simply want to expand your sailing skills, this course is your gateway.

Spend seven days aboard a 2023 Fountaine Pajot 40 catamaran in the Exumas learning the unique handling characteristics of multi-hull sailing. From docking techniques to sail trim, you'll gain the confidence and endorsement to skipper a catamaran in charter destinations worldwide.

Two weeks in March 2027: Mar 13 to 20 and Mar 27 to Apr 3, Saturday to Saturday from Nassau. A minimum of 3 students is required to run each week.

Why Learn Catamaran Sailing?

Multi-hull sailing opens up a world of chartering and cruising opportunities.

🏖️

Shallow Draft Access

Catamarans can anchor in shallow waters monohulls can't reach — perfect for exploring the Exumas' hidden cays and sandbars.

⚖️

Stability & Comfort

Two hulls mean less heeling and more comfort. Ideal for those who want to enjoy sailing without the dramatic lean.

🌍

Charter-Ready

Most charter fleets worldwide are catamaran-heavy. This endorsement opens doors to bareboat chartering in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and beyond.
