Island Kisses Sailing Catamaran

Fishing gear and a Subwing travel with Island Kisses, a sailing catamaran of 54ft (16m) that came out of Bali Catamarans in 2019.

On deck

Her swim platform gives swimmers a level step down into the water and an easy way back aboard.

Water toys

Seven toys come with her: the Subwing, a wakeboard, a kayak to paddle away from the boat, snorkelling and fishing gear, and floats and noodles for the swimmers. A 12ft tender takes people ashore.

Where she cruises

Virgin Gorda, in the British Virgin Islands, is her home port, and her cruising takes in both the British Virgin Islands and the Grenadines, so a group is not limited to the anchorages nearest her base.

Accommodation and crew

Four cabins carry a queen bed apiece, and two crew sail her, cook and see to the tender, so nobody in the party has to work the boat. Air conditioning and Wi-Fi reach throughout, which keeps the cabins cool and the group in touch with shore.

Comfort under way

She cruises at 8 knots and can make 12, and her busiest months fall from December through to March.

Charter notes

Island Kisses suits a family or a group of friends, and while eight sleep aboard in those cabins, eighteen can be on her by day, so the party on deck can be larger than the party in the cabins.
