Yacht Information
From the Logbook
Our take: Katlo
Katlo is a strong option for a more elevated BVI charter, especially because of its open Bali-style layout and comfortable master suite. The design feels spacious and easy to move around, with great indoor-outdoor flow for relaxing, dining, and enjoying the views. The master cabin is a great detail for a couple or anniversary trip, giving guests a larger and more private space onboard. Katlo also offers a solid water toy setup, including sea scooter, adult water skis, snorkel gear, kneeboard, wakeboard, SUPs, floating mats, and fishing gear, making it a nice balance of comfort, space, and activities.

I would like to reflect on the week in paradise and wine consumption...we always had enough! From the food to the friendship - nothing short of memorable! You guys were wonderful to set up everything that we did each day - we offer our apologies now for everything we should not have done :)
