About Bareboat Catamaran Nautitech 46 Fly
The Nautitech 46 Fly is a purpose-built cruising catamaran that balances performance with comfort for independent sailors. Built in 2018, she accommodates seven guests across four cabins (three doubles plus one single), making her ideal for small groups or extended families seeking autonomy in the Caribbean. The catamaran hull design delivers stability and shallow-draft anchorage in the archipelago's countless bays.
The defining feature is the expansive flybridge, a rare amenity on catamarans this size, offering an unobstructed platform for dining, navigation, and observation. Large windows flood the saloon and cabins with natural light whilst providing nearly 360-degree vistas. Essential systems including autopilot, chart plotter, watermaker, and air-conditioning support extended cruising without compromise.
Bareboat charters require documented experience on similar-sized vessels; alternatively, engage a skipper who occupies the fourth cabin. Kayaks, paddleboards, and fishing equipment are available to enhance exploration of hidden anchorages and reef systems.
Highlights
- •Dual helm stations with autopilot and chart plotter for confident navigation
- •Four-cabin layout with three ensuite heads and cabin fans throughout
- •Flybridge with bimini for alfresco dining and panoramic Caribbean views
- •Onboard watermaker and AC eliminate range anxiety; lazy jack and electric windlass reduce crew effort
The Charter Experience
The US Virgin Islands comprise four main islands and over 50 islets, presenting a natural playground of white-sand beaches, protected anchorages, and established beach clubs. St Thomas, home to the main port, lies just ten minutes from the airport, simplifying logistics for American charterers. From here, the British Virgin Islands remain within easy sailing distance, opening access to the neighbouring BVI's crystalline waters and laid-back island culture. The region's consistent trade winds, mild winter temperatures, and settled seas make December through April the prime season for bareboat independence.
Suggested Itinerary
A classic seven-day itinerary from St Thomas typically encompasses the Sapphire Coast (Charlotte Amalie, Magen Bay), the protected anchorages of Saint John, and the crossing to the BVI's North Sound or Jost Van Dyke. Budget additional days for Anegada's bonefishing grounds or Virgin Gorda's sheltered Sir Francis Drake Channel, depending on wind patterns and skipper preference.
