Sailing Yachts
Traditional mono-hulled sailing yachts offer the most diverse styles of accommodations,  and prices of the yachts in charter.  We have split the sailing yachts in  manageable sized groups for your consideration. Some yachts list only their "Length over All" (LOA) measurement which includes bowsprit and swim platform. We use "Length on Deck" (LOD) measured in Feet whenever possible, a more accurate gauge of overall space.

Our ©copyrighted color coded enhance  layouts quickly help identify important features of the yachts layout. And help give better insight to the useful space. Some layouts show only the below deck features, others include major features above deck, especially ones which extend below the level of the deck such as the cockpit

Red is Crew area-Helm, Galley or  Crew quarters. Purple is Guest Head/ Bath areas Light Yellow reflects Cabin space Gold indicates Guest Bed  Areas. White is basically open area. Black defines borders of important  features. Green highlight indicates salon or  lounging space.

If it is the open seas for which you long, cruising on a traditional mono-hulled sailboat has several big advantages. Visibility forward while sailing is certainly a factor. Cockpits on sailboats are focused around the helm station with comfortable seating and an unobstructed view forward. Larger sailing yachts ofter have seperate cockpit areas for "working" the sailing gear and another for lounging alone. This give a better chance to follow the captains actions if you are inclined to learn more about sailing. Catamaran cockpits are usually situated behind the salon with the helm elevated to achieve a view forward only for the captain only.

While catamaran supporters brag of the level ride they experience while under sail. Sailing yacht crews point out that although the deck may be sloped sideways, their yachts offer a smoother sail overall.  There are numerous advocates on both sides of the issue. Truly there is a yacht for everyone's tastes. The diversity found among over 200 monohull sailboats is unmatched in the catamaran or power yachts. For the best value, and largest cabins, and versitile style of berths, a sailing yacht is often your best choice!
