A catamaran sailing cruising adventure, isn't it time for yours?

Catamaran cruising and sailing is the best way to discover all the beauties of this amazing planet!

Whether it is a short day-charter cruise off Waikiki beach, a one-week charter in the British Virgin Islands, or an extended two-year travel adventure among the tropical islands of the South Pacific, this site shows you how to do it.

The human spirit needs adventure. Nothing can compare with the exhilaration and freedom of getting out on the water. Unfortunately many people miss out. They feel justifiably nervous, insecure, and uncomfortable on the conventional tilting, lurching, and wallowing monohull sailboat.

All this disappears on a catamaran. Once you experience the difference, you will know this is the best way to go. You will enjoy:

Comfortable, relaxing, and “level” sailing (no more stowing the coffee cups)
Exploring otherwise inaccessible beaches, coves, and islands
Fabulous snorkeling and swimming
Visiting exotic ports of call and pristine wilderness
Stunning sunsets in secluded anchorages
Close encounters with dolphins, turtles, bald eagles, puffins, Orcas, manta rays, and otters

Sincerely,

Garett and Carllie on Light Wave
