This sailboat must have two master staterooms and be at least 45 feet long .. if it were something larger like a HYlas 49 or 54 with three master cBINS THAT WOULE BE GREAT ... THE KEY IS THAT IF WE HAVE ONLY TWO MASTER CABINS THEN THERE WILL BW 2 couples it must also be a good sized boat with a strong healthy dink ... your help is appreciated ..few years ago I had a 45 foot jeaneau with two master cabins and it a center cockpit which worked out perfectly .. please help !! the middle of January OR EVEN A BIT LATER IN JANUARY 2018

We have a brand new Jeaneau 519 at CYOA Yacht Charters. It is a three cabin boat with a huge master forward. The aft cabins are very large and the starboard aft has private access to the large aft head. Not quite a full two master boat but it is not likely that you are going to find a true two cabin in charter. In boats this size we actually prefer four cabins normally. It will have a highfield aluminum rib with a yamaha 15 for the tender.

Horizon has a very nice boat - Patriche II, I believe is the name - Jeanneu 50 DS - friends chartered her last month and loved her. Two big master staterooms and very nicely fitted out. Even the cockpit cushions looked gorgeous - not the standard charter boat cushions but looked like the ones that were actually fitted for the boat!

Yes, the Caps is a problem in that once I start typing I don't look up at the screen until I am all done my note.If the caps button was on then it is too late to re- type it,as its not that important anyway

Have you considered a cat? That would certainly solve your cabin issues and I think it would be the only way to get 3 similar cabins.

If there ends up being a flotilla in 2018, we are obsessing on that boat! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />

The 473 was a nice boat but the newest generation of Beneteau and Jeanneau boats are different animals with the beam carried much further aft. The 50 DS in a two cabin would be huge though lacking in head room aft. We used to have a three cabin 49DS in our fleet which was the same boat with a shorter sticker on the side :-). It had the aft owners suite. There just are not many large mono's in two cabin layout in charter. The last one we had was a Hunter 450 center cockpit that Twanger loved. That thing had a bath tub in the aft cabin and six feet of head room in the whole boat.

THE KEY IS THAT IF WE HAVE ONLY TWO MASTER CABINS THEN THERE WILL BW 2 couples You're not going to find a Hylas in charter. Beneteau, Jenneau, Hunter, and Bavaria will make up 90+% of the monohull charter fleet. If you don't like those boats you should consider going with a boat for hire perhaps. Or go to a larger cat which will give you plenty of room in every cabin. You will find very few 45+ foot monohulls with only two cabins. They exist but there are not many. As the new boats carry their beam all the way to the aft the 51 Capt Jay mentions is very roomy in the aft cabins - not a bad place to be whatsoever. We were three couples on my Beneteau 45 last Oct. - everyone was happy with it and the 51 is even larger. I've seen that boat at the boat shows and I'd take one of the aft cabins any day. If it was me and I couldn't find a 2 cabin I would feel pretty good about a large 3 cabin. Especially if it were nicely equipped with a water maker and genny/AC.
Life's short - sail more!
