Why charter this Fountaine Pajot Ipanema 58 - 6 + 2 cab.
6 cabins for 12 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 2 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 17,8 m, this catamaran needs earlier berth planning and more turning room in busy marinas.
Best charter fit
Fountaine Pajot Ipanema 58 - 6 + 2 cab. suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 6 cabins and 6 heads. The catamaran beam is useful at anchor, but marina planning needs wider berth options and earlier docking choices.
The British Virgin Islands from Tortola
The BVI are line-of-sight sailing: steady trades and short hops down the sheltered Sir Francis Drake Channel, with a mooring ball rather than the anchor at most stops. Tortola’s Beef Island Airport (EIS) is a 20–30-minute road transfer. The first afternoon is a short shakedown run across to Norman or Peter Island, straightforward in the usual steady trades. The loop then works Cooper Island, the Baths on Virgin Gorda and the Bitter End, the park moorings taken first-come, so reach each bay early and keep the last leg an easy downwind run back up the channel. Anegada, low and reef-ringed with a careful eyeball approach in, is the one offshore leg, better added when there are days to spare beyond the week.
