Kings Ransom - luxury catamaran for 10

I am trying to teach myself how to shoot a video & am finding that my skills need improving!

On the other hand, this gives people a more 'real' feel for what a boat looks like and how it might feel to spend a week on board.

I can not say enough good things about Kings Ransom & her crew! Euros & Emily have taken command of this new 76' cat built by Matrix Yachts and along with mate Dan and Stewardess Suzie, they are full of energy and enthusiasm. This means that clients get superb food, plus crew that are ready to get you out doing all sorts of water sports from kayaking to diving to wake boarding or snorkeling.

Darn, I knew I forgot something -- I should have asked Euros to demonstrate some of his tricky napkin folds. Perhaps his knowledge of knots has helped him master his table creations! This crew of four work as a team to make sure all the details taken care of & you just get to sail and relax.

In any case, check out the video to see if Kings Ransom might not be the perfect choice for a Caribbean charter.
