4 couples are looking to charter a catamaran or sailboat that would accomodate 4 couples for 7 to 10 days. We are not experienced sailors so would need crew and cook onboard. Ideas would be appreciated, also best time to go.

You will be way more comfortable on a cat. Catatonic is an awesome cat, but not sure it can do 8 people. You can get a cat from any charter company and hire a chef and cook, but you are probably looking at a 50' Voyage, something that will accommodate 10. The best time to go is when all eight of you have 10 days off together, it's always great in da ilons mon. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" />

I thought a catamaran was a sailboat!!
If you're not sailors, you definitely want a catamaran. It's difficult for non-sailors to enjoy cruising at 15-20 degrees of heel. Whenever we take non-sailors with us, we only do cats.

Come on now, "sailors" in the Pacific have favored multihulls for centuries!! We have owned and raced many monohulls over the years and I love hiking out on a heeling race boat, but when we finally retire and start cruising, no question it will be on a big cat!!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />
