It has been some time since we visited the BVI as lost out during COVID and have not been back. We are now planning an adventure for 2026 and it is good to be back to the site to read the advice and all the good BVI info.
We are looking at two boats, catamaran. There will be 2 couples on the boat. We are now "Senior Citizens" so want comfort and easy to handle boats. The two boats are from 2 separate companies. I think both are good companies and I am not worried about that. Just want a good choice for the boat. Both boats are 3 cabins
Boat 1: 2017 Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40 ft
Boat 2: 2028 Leopard 40 M4000
One boat is less cost but that does not cross the other out.
Any thoughts on either of these boats?

I don’t know anything about the FP. The M4000 is a descent boat. If you can stretch the budget a bit I would really take a look at the M4200. It’s an amazing package in a 42’ Cat. Both Sunsail and the Moorings offer the boat. It is the replacement for the 4000.
