About Crewed Catamaran ABUNDANCE
ABUNDANCE is a Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 catamaran offering exceptional stability and space across her dual hulls. Built in 2019, she combines refined design with genuine functionality, featuring three cabins that accommodate five guests with ease. The open-plan saloon flows naturally onto generous deck areas, whilst her flybridge delivers unobstructed sightlines across the Caribbean.
The vessel's layout prioritises comfort without pretension. Two queen cabins and one single cabin each feature private ensuites. The saloon provides ample entertaining space, and the expansive foredeck with cushioned lounging areas proves ideal for morning relaxation. Her aft deck transitions seamlessly into a dining zone where the crew executes service with quiet competence.
Captain Blaine leads a crew that understands discretion and attentiveness in equal measure. Chef Eda's approach to provisioning emphasises local seafood and seasonal ingredients, prepared with precision. The selection of water toys, including a dinghy with outboard power, facilitates exploration of shallower anchorages and remote islands that larger vessels cannot reach.

The Charter Experience
Charter ABUNDANCE through the British Virgin Islands for sailing that rewards genuine curiosity. The itinerary balances purposeful exploration with measured relaxation. Begin in Tortola and progress through anchorages at Virgin Gorda, Anegada, and Jost Van Dyke, each offering distinct character. Diving and snorkelling opportunities abound in crystalline waters; the crew sources local knowledge regarding lesser-known reefs and calm-water entry points. Evenings feature anchored dining on the aft deck, where the chef's market-driven menus reflect what the islands offer that day. The catamaran hull design provides superior stability, allowing comfortable rest regardless of modest sea state.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical seven-day charter departs Tortola and establishes anchorages at Norman Island, Virgin Gorda's North Sound, and the shallow waters surrounding Anegada, where the reef systems reward careful snorkelling. Jost Van Dyke provides evening atmosphere and authentic island culture. The crew tailors daily movements to weather and your stated preferences, ensuring flexibility to linger where conditions and inclination align.
