Marmot is a Lagoon 67 built in 1999 by the CBN boatyard. She is an exceptional yacht in that she truly offers space and comfort and still sails very well. She has been designed with comfort and performance in mind. She will cruise at 10 knots comfortably under power and can attain speeds up to 25 knots + under sail. This compares very well with yachts built for racing and therefore is thrilling to sail. Bearing this in mind, she offers all this with a comfortable ride and minimal pitch or roll as is common to all catamarans.

Marmot also offers ample space in all areas and is easy to move around - no stooping under stays or climbing over seating to move around. Access from the water is convenient with a swim ladder on the port side and a diving ladder on the starboard hull making it easy to get out of the water whatever the activity. The transoms are spacious enough for all to gather to watch fish or relax and have a cocktail watching the setting sun. The cockpit itself could seat up to 16 without using the nearby tanning mats.

The accommodations are once again spacious and we cater for 8 guests. Marmot is designed around comfort and space. Even the crew is well catered for. The designers and the owners have custom designed the layout for a truly relaxing vacation. The charters we wish to offer on board Marmot are to be exclusive as opposed to maximizing the number of guests on board.

Each cabin is air-conditioned, has an ensuite bathroom and has ample storage for a comfortable stay. Natural ventilation through the cabin is good with hatches and portlights appropriately positioned for those who prefer not to use the air-conditioners.

For the active we offer all the watersports from snorkelling, to wakeboarding, tubing, water-skiing and also scuba diving for those that are certified.

Combine all this with a tailor made gourmet menu according to your taste in the most idyllic tropical locations and you have the ideal recipe for an unforgettable vacation.
