About
Private day sailing charters aboard CATCH THE CAT offers a unique, intimate and exclusive experience. CATCH THE CAT is the newest catamaran sailing the coastal waters of Antigua. This elegant 2010, 41ft Lipari built by Fountaine Pajot offers space, style, luxury and relaxation. The exquisite layout allows easy movement about the boat. From the spacious aft deck, the step down to the swimming platform or relaxing on the foredeck and trampoline. The four well appointed cabins with fans each have a roomy double-bed with generous cupboard and locker space, ideal if one of the children needs an afternoon sleep, plus two bathrooms and two separate shower rooms. Catch The Cat is perfect for celebrating memorable occasions. Our private cruises are especially suited for intimate gatherings of friends who wish to have their own exclusive sailing cruise. We limit ourselves to just 10 guests - to give you that special pampered feeling you deserve on your holiday. If you have more than 10 guests please inquire as we can arrange a second Catamaran. On CATCH THE CAT it’s your day so it’s up to YOU. If you prefer More Sailing or snorkelling, relaxing at a secluded bay or spending time on a deserted beach- we can change your day to suit you at a moment’s notice. After all Its Your day we will customise it to YOUR way. Board as guests… Leave as friends!

We had a wonderful 8hrs trip yesterday with all the family
The boat was very comfortable. The children (ages 13 and 8yrs) loved the snorkel on the reef and swimming in the bay before lunch. Seeing turtles and spotted rays jumping.
Margot’s food was delicious (and constant) and Cpt Lushi was informative about wildlife and was a more than competent skipper.
Would definitely recommend

If you want a day to remember with two incredibly friendly and knowledgeable people, then you need to spend a day with Lushi and Margot! We had a blast learning about the island, talking life, sailing, drinking rum punch, and enjoyed a delicious lunch! I would recommend this to anyone visiting Antigua as the more intimate experience is worth every penny!

Our family love a Catamaran trip and catch the cat is up there as one of the best we have ever experienced. From the moment Lushi and Margot pick you up at Jolly Harbour you are in for a real treat.
We booked an eight hour private trip for our family of six and it was a very special day . We did various swim stops & snorkelling and had the most amazing lunch prepared by Margot near Carlisle Bay. The food is out of this world and Lushi barbecued the chicken on the back of the catamaran . Everything was wonderful. Drinks flowed, nothing was too much trouble. Margot & Lushi are warm, friendly, professional and the most wonderful hosts for the day.
They are full of the most in-depth knowledge about the island all very interesting to listen to and our sons and their girlfriends had a fantastic time .
Highly recommend anyone doing this Catch the Cat. You will not be disappointed!

My husband and I traveled with Lushi and Margot from Jolly Harbour to Carlisle Bay on a six hour cruise, and it was pretty much the best day of our life. Lushi and Margot are kind, warm, informative, attentive—and so at ease with each other and the boat that we felt at home as soon as we stepped aboard. Comfy bean bags on the trampoline up front, and a central console to hold the bluetooth speaker they provided for the voyage as well as our drinks (passion fruit juice spritzers for me! 😋), allowed us to just vibe and take in the gorgeous hills of Antigua and the sparkling sea. Once in Carlisle Bay, we unknowingly set the record for time spent snorkeling as we spent two hours exploring the coral and sea grass beds near the coast— while the corals have had a tough go in recent years, we still some beautiful brain corals, fans, and so many fish! A giant puffer, a moray eel, and many little colorful friends of various shapes and hues. When we got back to the boat, Margot presented us with Michelin star-worthy plates of grilled chicken with star fruit and tamarind sauce, buttery potatoes, and a divine mixed salad with avocado, almonds, and a beet-and-kiwi medallion that was as delicious as it was gorgeous. Returning to the aft deck to enjoy the sail home, we were presented a bit later with fruit skewers and pineapple cake. I felt so relaxed, happy, and grateful as we made our way back to Jolly Harbour while the frigate birds circled and swooped. Thank you, Lushi and Margot, for an unforgettable and wonderful day. 💖

This trip was amazing. Margot and Lushi were great hosts. I can't swim but I love to snorkel. Lushi made sure I felt secure and safe and kept his eyes on me the entire time. The food was delicious. Margot was lovely and we found her knowledge of the island to be very educational. I highly reccomend!

Beautiful day excursion owned by a coal family. Lushi cooked delicious lobster served with delicious salads. My sons had a great time learning to fish while the grown ups enjoyed snorkeling and spotting sea life.

We had the most amazing time! Great food and drinks. And besides the weather being perfect for a day to set sail, the experience the captain and crew provided is one that I’ll never forget. They are friendly, warm people that you can tell really enjoy what they do. They always put our safety first while giving us the opportunity to learn more about beautiful Antigua.

Amazing value and wonderful experience. We opted for the full day private charter and it was outstanding. There is a reason for all the 5 star reviews; it truly is a great time with great people. Lushi and Margot are kind and attentive and love what they do. It was like sailing on a friend's boat. (if the friends were professional sailors who catered to your every need) There was plenty to eat and drink throughout the trip and the itinerary was enough to keep us busy without feeling rushed. Also plenty of time to chill with a drink on the trampolines and take it all in. The only downside was that it came to an end! We couldn't believe the day had gone by so fast. Definitely something we will do again next time we're in Antigua. Thank you Margot and Lushi for a great day!

We had a wonderful day on Catch the Cat. From the first step onto the boat Lushi and Margot were very welcoming and knowledgeable.
The safety briefing was informative without being boring with a touch of humour to emphasise the important bits.
Once underway the trip was smooth and Margot was a wealth of information as we sailed down the coast.
We anchored in Carlisle Bay and had a couple of hours for snorkelling and a wonderful lunch with lots of wine and cocktails
Sailed back home under sail with Pineapple cake and fruit skewers as we relaxed in the sun on the trapeze at front of the boat.
A wonderful experience we will never forget

We had a fabulous day with Catch the Cat.
This is a family run business and everyone was so nice and welcoming and made our day great.
The food was great, as were the drinks and rum punch !
We would highly recommend Catch the Cat for a day out on the sea with snorkelling.

For the first week in June, how much for 4 people for approx. 4 to 6 hours if that is enough time. Most important thing to us is to find some really good snorkling.
thank you and can't wait to visit this beautiful island.

I hope this helps

We will be in Antigua at Galley Bay staring Feb. 29th 2020 and would like to go to Barbuda for the day but not on the Barbuda Express that leaves at 6:00AM. We are on vacation after all!!! Any alternatives - other suggestions but not flying? Greatly appreciated
Written January 9, 2020
Unfortunately we dont sail to Barbuda - it is too far for us
You can go as an organized day tour with Excellence - Tropical Adventures or independently on the Ferry
You can also arrange a private tour but this is costly for 2 people

I'm going to the Pinnaeple resort in Antigua and I'm wondering if anybody has caught the sunset cruise from there on the catch the star and how much is it? Thanks in advance!
Written November 14, 2019
We took a taxi and met them at Jolly Harbour, so I don't have experience with that. However, they were very responsive when I sent them email messages and if you have questions, I'm confident they will respond.

Hello, I'm arriving in Antigua for my first time with my husband and we're staying at the Pinnaeple Resort. I'd really love to take advantage of this tour, it seems like a lot of fun and it's right up our alley for activities. We love to explore. Could someone please kindly tell me how you can get this excursion,when it is and how much it is expense wise
Also, does anybody recommend any must do excursions as I'm new to this particular island. Thanks in advance!
Written November 12, 2019
We actually found them on TripAdvisor. They are listed under things to do in Antigua. Email them and they are very prompt to respond. I didn't find them overly expensive compared to others for an 8 hour day. Very reasonable pricing.
We also did the VIP platinum tour and that was a 6 hour day. You can find them on TripAdvisor as well. I recommend them.

Are prices on the website per person, we are a party of 4.
Written November 9, 2019
The prices on the website are banded based on how many people you have on the charter
1-2 persons, then 3-4 persons etc
If you want a per person price, you would have to take the number in your group - -select the correct price bracket and duration and then spit it between the amount of people in the group

Hi Cheryl
Many thanks for your enquiry
Unfortunately Barbuda is too far for us to do in a day - it would take us around 4 hours to get there as we are a sailing Cat not a power Cat
