The yacht: An extremely comfortable 38 feet long Lagoon Catamaran, YANN 1 will fulfill your dream of the perfect vacation. This well appointed yacht is great for families or couples. You will love the stability of this boat as you cruise the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea. Catamarans are also very fast in the water. You will marvel at the gentle, warm air and the magnificent island views as you skim over the sea. Catamarans also allow one to glide right onto a sandy beach, due to their shallow hulls. This makes it very easy to stop for a swim or picnic on some of the beautiful beaches long the way. YANN 1 is spacious, airy and bright. You will find plenty of spots onboard for those quiet moments we all need – a spacious and comfortable trampoline for reading, sunbathing or contemplating the beauty of the Caribbean region. Your skipper’s experience in these seas will give you a taste of many different islands, bays and villages. Each of the Caribbean islands has its own character. Each is charming in its own way. | LOA (overall length): 38 feet Beam: 18 feet Draft: 3 feet 10 inches Tender: 11 feet Outboard: 8 HP Guest cabins: 3 Showers/heads: 2 Voltage: 220 AC, 12 DC Minimum number of guests: 2 Maximum number of guests: 6 |   The trips: YANN 1 is based in Dominica and sails the Caribbean Sea throughout the Leeward and Windward islands.

Accommodation: The interior is very well ventilated; AC is not needed! There are two cabins aft (one in each hull) with large queen sized beds. (Standard queen sheets are too small). These cabins have ensuite bathrooms. Forward on the starboard side is another guest cabin with a double bed; it shares starboard bathroom. A unique feature of the accommodation for a yacht this size is that there is plenty of headroom above the beds. All cabins have hanging lockers and plenty of storage space, but please do not bring hard suitcases. Crew shares the bathroom on the port side.
