I am in search of a boat where I, as the captain get a great cabin but I also don't want my friends to suffer with a quarter berth or some such trouble.so I am looking for a boat <<<I don't care how big it is or how much it costs ,,,as long as it meets the following needs: 2-3 great cabins and a great boat for 4-6 people .. obviously ,if it has2 cabins then they need to be stand up cabins ,,such as the benneteau 45 I had a few years ago .it had a proper cabin up forward any captain would be happy with but it also had a full cabin in the aft , which, by the way ,had a full bath which included a bathtub!!!!. Any ideas are very welcome and, should you pull off a miracle ,such as finding me a HYlAS 54 I will pay a finders fee . love to hear from you ,,one and all,,, thanks and I remain mike 4 dogs <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="" />

The Moorings has some new Beneteau 45's that meet what you want. There are also lots of owner version cats in charter that would meet and exceed what you want. If you don't mind chartering out of the USVI Island Yachts would be a perfect match. The use Island Packet Yachts usually in a owners configuration. Very much like the Hylas. G

Mike, If looking for a monohull in the BVI, what you are describing is as rare as hen's teeth because it requires very high freeboard in the aft part of the boat and pretty much all of today's manufacturers have opted for "sleek" lines with low freeboard aft ... negating that possibility.
The old center cockpit boats all had huge aft cabins, but what you gained in on board space, you generally lost in sailing efficiency.
Many yachts such as the Beneteau 41 have stand up headroom in the aft cabin, but you are not going to find many yachts offering stand up headroom "throughout" the aft cabin, unless you can find a much bigger yacht and probably an older yacht.
The Beneteau 55, 3 cabin has a good amount of stand up headroom in the aft cabins. The same holds for the Jeanneau 469 and Jeanneau 509, 3 cabin yachts.

We're CYOA fans and love their Jenneau 44i Mei Nu with her teal hull big cockpit and large forward berth. Twanger and canpndar have reviewed their Big Papa Lulu Helia 44 with an owners stateroom that takes up one full hull.

Cheers, RickG Sorry - just noticed this post by Rick - I love this boat - it is one we would charter in a heartbeat if it wasn't just the two of us - VERY nice.

IF you would be interested in a cat, take a look at the Moorings 4000. It is a new design and we took a look at one last August. I really liked the design with the galley forward and the interior and exterior dining areas back to back. Whole boat seemed great and I think they have some 3 cabin owners versions too.

SuburbanDharma said: We chartered Mei Nu & it's indeed a very nice boat, but I'd go with a Jeanneau 53 or 57 if you can find one. We chartered a Jeanneau 54 many times before buying our Hylas & it was by miles the most comfortable charter boat & tons of fun to sail. If I could find the pictures I'd post the photo of about 15 TTOL'ers all in the bed together... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> If that Jenny 54 was anything like the older Jenny 52.2 deep keel - that's about as much fun you can have with your cloths on <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
