We just got back from the SVI on CYOA's Big Papa Lulu, a FP Helia 44, the biggest yacht I've ever chartered.

Last week my business partner said he had six people interested in going to the USVI/BVI in 2016 and it would be nice to have a little more room than the Lipari 41 that we were in last year.

So a few phone calls and emails later I have discovered that we now have a deposit down on CYOA's brand-new 2015 FP Saba 50 called Cuvee. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> Whoa! That happened fast! The gravity of this was slow to hit me. No longer are we chartering the smallest monohull's from CYOA. Suddenly we're chartering their flagship yacht, the biggest thing in their fleet! I'm beginning to think I should have my head examined! This thing is huge! I'm (pretty) sure I can handle it, after all, the difference between a 44-foot cat and a 50 foot cat isn't all that much (I keep telling myself). <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> Now we can't wait until next June!!!

Here's a stock photo of SABA50. CYOA's come's with a bimini top and a dingy on the davits. The boat has every possible amenity.. Gen/AC, water-maker, ice-maker, cockpit-fridge, chaise-lounges for 4 on the bow... I really can't even begin to list all of the cool stuff here.

Lordy, what have I done!?
