ALL ABOUT S/V BRAVEHEART

Braveheart is spacious and well-equipped to meet your needs!

Braveheart offers an all-inclusive charter experience designed to exceed your expectations. We operate in the beautiful Virgin Islands which themselves offer a combination of beautiful vistas, wonderfully fun activities, great food and drinks, and friendly people that will make your trip memorable.

Braveheart is a 1999 58' Simonis catamaran built by Wicked Cats in Cape Town, South Africa. She operated briefly there before transiting to the Virgin Islands in the early 2000s, where she has operated sailing and diving vacation charters ever since.

Her size allows groups of up to nine guests to comfortably enjoy themselves--with space for the group to be together, and space for the group to disperse to various areas on the boat. She has four private cabins each with a queen-size berth, an en-suite dry head and separate shower, and separate air-conditioning controls for each cabin. There is an additional single berth in the port hull that allows her to accommodate up to nine guests in total.

She has a 15kW generator to provide ample power during the charter, and a reverse-osmosis water mater to provide fresh water heads and showers.

Braveheart carries loads of gear to provide you with all sorts of fun. But what you may remember most fondly is sitting in the spacious cockpit or on the forward deck, with a Caribbean cocktail in hand, enjoying incomparable sunsets with people you care about.

Here's some more detail about what Braveheart offers our guests:

Numerous water toys to explore the various cays and anchorages you will visit, including two stand-up paddleboards, two inflatable kayaks, inflatable island floating raft, inflatable slide and snorkeling and free-diving gear
For powered water fun, we have a new 15' dinghy with a 60hp outboard great for enjoying wakeboarding, wakeskating, or getting towed in our ski tubes
