Crewed Catamaran BLACK TORTUGA

Black Tortuga is a Fountaine Pajot Saona 47, a purpose-built cruising catamaran that balances performance with comfort. The twin-hull design delivers exceptional stability and shallow-draft access to anchorages across the US Virgin Islands, whilst the generous beam provides the interior volume expected of a serious charter platform. Built in 2018, she combines Fountaine Pajot's meticulous engineering with thoughtful ergonomics throughout.

On deck, the wide transoms and accessible platform make boarding effortless. The foredeck features both trampolines and sun lounges, offering flexible spaces for reading, sunbathing, or simply watching the horizon. Below, the saloon opens via panoramic windows that flood the space with Caribbean light. An L-shaped galley provides serious cooking capability, whilst four queen cabins with private heads offer the privacy rarely found on multihulls of this size. Each cabin is bright and well-ventilated, separated from the main living area.

Captain Troy and Chef Jody form the backbone of the Black Tortuga experience. Their combined expertise and collaborative approach means the itinerary adapts to your pace and preferences. Whether you prefer active days exploring reefs and anchorages or leisurely passages between islands, they curate each moment of your charter.

The US Virgin Islands offer year-round sailing with protected waters, consistent trade winds, and immediate access to world-class snorkelling and diving. From St Thomas, St Croix, and St John, Black Tortuga can reach hidden anchorages, vibrant beach bars, and UNESCO World Heritage sites within hours. The catamaran's shallow draft opens lesser-known coves whilst the spacious saloon and deck areas provide genuine comfort after days exploring this island paradise.
