For your Charter Pleasure

Spacious Main Salon

The main salon offers spectacular views, a full bar with icemaker and ample wrap-around seating for dining or lounging. The salon is equipped with a TV and DVD available for personal viewing or as presentation aids. Ample Topside Lounging The cockpit is a great place for dining under the shade of the bimini, curling up with a book or enjoying a sunset cocktail to some tropical tunes. The cushioned seating on the bow is one of the most popular spots for sun-bathing or taking in the full sailing experience.

Private Cabins Forward /\ and Aft \/ all have indivudial AC controls and DVD players.

The Port forward cabin has a seperate shower area,
the other two are "wet heads"

Frangines is a large, spacious 55' long catamaran. Her decks give you more room than a conventional yacht that is 75' long, and her shallow draft allows her captain to take you up further into private coves and sheltered bays. She is roomy inside, too, to spread out or get your party together to socialize in her well lit and well ventilated main salon.

You can see how easy it is to get on and off the boat, from the tender or from the water, with the steps coming up each hull. Her layout shows the 4 cabins, (3 guest and 1 crew) each with its own en suite head and shower.

The four spacious queen size cabins each has its own air conditioning as well.
