Chasing the Catamaran Dream: Flotilla's Anyone?

Flotilla's Anyone?

Looking for a Flotilla?. Here is a list that I am keeping for myself. I will add more as I come across them.

Baja Ha-Ha - The Baja Ha-Ha cruisers rally is from (from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas) The Baja Ha-Ha occurs every year neat the end of October.

CW Adventures Charters Sail-a-Cat - This is according to CW their best-selling flotilla voyage of the year and occurred Dec 3 - 11th, 2010. I am assuming they will have another one this year. They report it is a great way to learn about chartering and to try out a catamaran! In addition, they offered lots of extra fun: windsurfing and kite boarding lessons, kayaks and Hobie Cats, and a dive rendezvous or guided tropical water fishing excursion.

More to come.....

Raj said...: Make best use of the Aspen Power Catamarans through obtaining maximum details from its website aspenpowercatamarans.com which keeps you abreast of all the features of trawler catamaran you would like to know and explore. The specialization is for the sleek and fuel efficient cruisers which have gained momentum and are from twin vee to anything which you would like to experience for the momentous experience in life.
The catamarans for sale are also displayed on the website to keep the potential buyers always updated of everything from minute details to whatever they seek for designs to speed the level and fuel usage et al. There are endless options available but leopard catamaran has its own specializations. The interior space and designs are unique so do they make it efficient with unique design making it at par through the effective solar panels.
Innovation is most important thing which Aspen Power Catamaran adopts to guide you for everything from fuel economy to green boating and rest features. Best of the engineering teams were involved to design them for an ultimate boating experience. It makes you feel how relaxant feeling can matter so does it offer adventure and comforts while you experience boating.; January 22, 2013 at 10:23 PM
