On the one hand I like the owners cabin in the 4 cabin version, but on the other I don't like the 2 sets of stairs. Also having one set right in the middle of the galley seems odd..
It looks like the flybridge is an option and I'm not sure what I think of it. I'd have to see it. I'm does mean anyone up there will have to watch there head when tacking.
The forward galley is great - We took out a Moorings 4000 and that was a nice change. Really felt a lot more spacious because of it.

Nice that the flybridge does not completely isolate you from the people below. When I did charters on Lagoon 440s I would often be totally out of touch with what was happening below. On the Leopard 4600 with the semi fly you could talk to people with you upstairs or below.

I think the point of the owners cabin is resale when the boat exits charter. I am not sure how much better it is than the other cabins. If you look at 50 footers most actually have one nicer cabin unless they try and cram 5 or 6 cabins in the boat. There will be a 5 cabin version of this boat but will be for crewed fleets. I guess I am going to have to head down to the Miami show to see the boat in person. The galley and stairs there worry me. I am not sure on the sailing performance. There will also be a version without the lounge top and more sail area. G

Sunnykm said: I, too, wonder about an Owner's Suite on a charter boat?? Who gets it? How do we decide? Could be uncomfortable situation. It's just a cabin. With a little more space. It is not as if anyone is spending so much time that it will make a huge difference. I think there's a pretty simple way to handle it though. Whoever is handling the arrangement of the charter, gets the owners cabin.

Thousands of charters were very successful long before the equal cabin feature hit the market. Many boats leave the dock with one person funding the entire charter(Dad, GrandPa, GrandMa, even some moms. We never share the cost of the boat itself. We treat a rented boat just like a vacation home where we may invite guests time to time. At the end of the day. The admiralty and rules of the sea say the name of the person on contract decides everything. On and equal split charter? He or She may decide to draw straws for the bigger space. Or maybe the person who agrees to cover all the bar tabs ashore could get the bigger space? Auction the cabin of privilege off to the highest bar tab bidder.... Yes, some will always whine and may find themselves not invited back. No such thing as a bad day in the islands south of Miami.

all thsi time ,i am looking for a mono that has 2 maybe 3 full cabins ..i had a benneteau 473 but two of the three couples felt liek the trash onboard .i am the capatain and spent all these years sailing and learning and then getting certified so i deserve the main cabin ..but they don't desreve the crappy quarterberths.. the next year we got a beneteau 45 center cockpit and it was wonderful .. a full forawrd cabin and the aft cabin even had a bathtub ,so i was able to get back some credibility by using that boat ...it doessn't seem to be around .. I'd love to find a Hylas 49 or 54 but having trouble finding one ..any thoughts would be greatly apprecaiated <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Woof.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Woof.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Woof.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Woof.gif" alt="" />

This may be a option for you. I am not sure of their post hurricane status but they had a good reputation prior. George http://www.iyc.vi/bareboat-charters/

Soooo .... call me selfish but .... if my wife and I are going to organize crew, shop for food, find and contract a boat,sail the boat etc etc etc AND pay the same as everyone else, I wouldn't think twice about claiming the one enhanced comfort feature of the slightly better cabin. No guilt at all.
That said we've always looked at bareboating as either a sailing vacation with some shore stuff or a caribbean vacation with some sailing. If you (and your crew) are more into the latter (and we've found that describes most of our crews) then this boat will be great. The fact that it doesn't point well up wind will be a minor blip to most of the crews we've seen. They'll be thrilled to be on the water in a gorgeous boat with a drink in their hand!
