SAIL AWAY Catamaran

cyprus catamaran

The SAIL AWAY is a 50 feet sailing catamaran. Catamarans are twin-hulled boats. This makes the boat wide, roomy, and stable. It has plenty of space to bask in the sun or take shelter in the cool airy shade of the open cabin. When you are snorkeling, you can make the easy trek down the wide stairway that has been lowered into the water.

As if all of this bundle features wasn't enough, there's a great captain, friendly crew, excellent food and plenty of music! If you still have any doubts, read what our passengers have to say.
