You probably noticed a lot of catamarans in the British Virgin Islands rental fleets. My buddy says they're popular with the rental companies. He's got a tough job now...Hurricane Warden for his area and he has to transfer about a dozen boats from Virgin Gorda for the summer and then take them back for the busy winter season. Tough work!

Yes, all over the Caribbean the rental/charter fleets are up to about
80 or 90% catamarans. They're popular because of the roominess and
also because of the privacy that is afforded by having twin hulls and
sleeping cabins. Docking is not much of an issue in the islands since
most folks are on moorings or anchored out. Elsewhere it can be a
problem however because most slips in the states are designed for
monohulls.
