After a couple of trips to the BVI we decided we should try exactly what you are planning to do. We had an extra couple who were not sailors coming on our next trip and thought the space and amenities would be exactly what we wanted. It was perfect. There were two fridges, a great kitchen, notice I did not say galley. Every stateroom had its' own head with a huge shower. We were in dockside nirvana. Well until we got sailing anyhow. Wow, that is when things changed for us. We knew there would be compromises in the sailing characteristics but it was just too much for us. Every evening we loved the boat. Every day we hated it. But that is just us. We have a close friend who sails at least as much as we do who swears by getting catamarans when in the BVI. It really depends on your group. We have since gone back to monohulls and our friends who were new to sailing still come with us and love sailing on a monohull. I am happy we tried it, even if it was not for us and it is true, your drink will not spill on a Cat! Have fun with whatever you decide. url=https://flic.kr/p/q7tB42][/url]BVI 2011 by kimshand, on Flickr
