Wondering if anyone has any experience with the Sun Loft 47? Seems quite suited to a group like the one we will have and an incredible price. Anyone have any experience chartering this vessel? https://navigare-yachting.com/en/ya...ea-nanny-cay-marina-tortola/2873/all/all Thanks, Keith www.facebook.com/keith.krause www.vytisracing.blogspot.com

So is the incredible price being compared to catamarans or monohulls? The galley on deck? I have never been on board but interested to hear from those who have.

It looks like (hard to tell in photos and videos) that there's only one burner. However, more importantly, it looks like you can't shield yourself from the sun. If there are shades available to cover the "Bimini" windows then it might work. It looks hot - I assume the AC does not cool the kitchen area. The other minor issue is it sails like a mono. My wife doesn't like the heeling

Immediately aft of the single pot burner is a propane grill sized at least as big as the gnarly ones found on charter yachts. I think we will give it a shot. Worst case scenario is we have a great time in da BVI. The price to sail ability ratio is off the charts. Ill report back this fall. Appreciate the input!
