Frequently Asked Questions
The “Island Time” is our 50-foot long, wide-body sailing catamaran.
The “Island Time II” is our 53-foot long, 27-foot wide sailing catamaran and the newest addition to the Island Time Sailing family.
A catamaran is a boat with 2 hulls instead of one (aka “twin-hull boat”). Our catamaran also has 2 sails that we can use to power the boat or our outboard engines mounted at the rear.
Catamarans are more stable, have more room, and can go faster than their mono-hulled (having a single hull) counterparts. The stability of a catamaran is a huge plus when children and seniors are involved as it is much easier to stay on their feet. Also, you don’t get near as much rocking on a “cat”.
The “Island Time” is a wide, stable sailing cruise catamaran that is a great ride when the waters are calm. If it is rough, we may recommend some motion sickness medication to keep you feel your best during your trip. We may even recommend you sit at the rear of the boat if you have a tendency to get “sea sick” because it is the most stable section of the boat.
Our catamaran is weighted for 78, but we cap it at 65 to allow our passengers plenty of room to remain comfortable.
Yes, very! We have been doing this a long time and everyone has a great time!
Yes, there are 2 below deck.
To get to the restrooms, you must descend below deck using 4 steps. As long as you can get down, the bathrooms are right there.
When coming aboard, you need to be able to go up a ramp and climb 2 steps (whether with assistance or while being carried). We will gladly help you get your wheelchair on board ahead of you so that once you are on board you can sit back down. Also, once on board, we do have dedicated locations for our wheelchair-bound guests.
We do have a partially covered bar that will offer some rain/sun protection, but the sides are open so you may still get a little wet if it rains.
