Live The Cathouse Yacht Life – Choose Your Own Style of Adventure

Whether you’re looking to gain real sailing experience or simply unwind in effortless luxury, The Cathouse offers two unique ways to explore the Florida Keys and the Bahamas:

🧭 Apprentice Package Experience & Learn – The Cruising Lifestyle 

Our cruiser Apprentice Package is Perfect for adventurers, dreamers, and future cruisers. We are passionate about introducing and supporting others in starting the cruising lifestyle, and this adventure offers incredible value for those who want to experience yacht life while also learning how it all works. If you’ve considered becoming a seasonal or year-round cruiser, then this is where to start! Whether you have zero experience, or only piloted inland lakes, or even chartered other vessels, and you’re looking for the next step, this is our passion! Enjoy your own first hand adventure cruise before uprooting and buying a boat. We love to help others gain the experience to get started on their cruising lifestyle journey. You’ll sail alongside our experienced captain and crew while participating in:

• Traditional Sail handling and trimming

• Special Sale Handling and Trimming – including Stay Sail,  Oxley Parasail, and Asymmetrical Spinnaker.

• Anchoring and mooring

• Navigation, chart reading, and trip planning.

• Learn Navigation and trip planning with electronic charting.

• Communications, VHF Marine Radio, Emergency locating beacons, Satellite Communications, and AIS Vessel Tracking.

• Engine and system checks

• Docking and dinghy operations

• Onboard systems like water maker, genset (generator), and electrical power management.

• Onboard grilling, cooking, meal prep, and galley opps.

You’ll still enjoy all the comforts of our luxury catamaran while gaining real insight into the cruising lifestyle—this is not a typical guest charter. This hands-on instructional charter includes a certificate at the end of this educational learning program. You will be presented with a certificate of completion that summarizes your experience, which can help enhance your sailing resume as a bareboat charter captain or for securing insurance qualifications. Cruise & Charter Packages are typically reserved for those 21 years and older. If you are looking to accommodate younger voyagers, please contact us to arrange accommodations.
