We have changed the organization of our website, specifically the Catamaran section. Previously we separated Catamarans by length. We feel the number of guests make a better criteria to separate these yachts into 2 more manageable sized groups. Catamarans suited to up to 3 couples or a family of 8 and those suited to 4 or more couples. We hope you find this organization easier to navigate the website ... Dennis 1st Class Yachts
