This sailing catamaran sets a new standard, seamlessly blending luxury, comfort, and functionality to redefine the possibilities of your sailing experience. Step into the elegant sanctuary of the Seaview 59´s salon on the main deck, where natural light streams in through expansive glass windows, illuminating the space from every angle. With dual doors at the front and rear, the salon beckons guests to seamlessly transition between the captivating vistas of the sea on both the foredeck and aft deck. Embark on a journey of enchantment and exploration amidst the boundless beauty of the ocean. Upon setting foot on lower deck, you´ll be pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness, as Seaview 59 provides 30% more living space than yachts of a similar size. The lower deck boasts six cabins, each equipped with en-suite bathrooms plus 2 single forepeaks, allowing not just solo journeys but collaborative adventures with your friends and family. State-of-the-art green technology innovation is at the forefront of the Seaview 59 boasting 1722kw of solar power, 58kw of Lithium-Ion batteries, large 12v alternators on the engines, and highly efficient air conditioning that can operate overnight off of batteries alone, rendering the generator to a redundant backup system and ensuring quiet comfortable travels.

Atlas Guest Reviews

ATLAS SAILING CATAMARAN

What a experience! We were on Atlas, a gorgeous 60´ sailing catamaran. We had an amazing crew lead by Captain Kelton and Chef Jay (renamed by my kids as Jay money) The boat was set up perfectly for our large group, with plenty of room for everyone. We wanted for nothing the whole trip. We were taken to all the hot spots for snorkeling, exploring caves, jumping from rock cliffs, and dipping our toes in white sandy beaches. The food was amazing, everyday all day Chef Jay- money was on it with awesome meals and perfect desserts. Not only was this trip about my birthday, 4 boys graduating high school, but also my parents 40th wedding Anniversary, and this boat and crew made it amazing. Thanks again to ATLAS, and it´s crew

Smooth sailing, incredible meals, Unforgettable experience.

Our experience aboard The beautiful Hey Sea Atlas with Captain Kelton and Chef Jay was unforgettable, epic, amazing and over the top. This crew went above, beyond and did anything we could have asked for and more to make our experience amazing and over the top. From the best anniversary celebration in 40 years to surprise birthday cakes and candles specially made for each individual guest. They made all different ages guests have an amazing and memorable experience. They were hands on the entire trip and worked very hard to ensure our trip was everything we could have hoped for and more. If could do this trip all over again I would choose the same crew. The only thing that would make it better would’ve been a longer trip. For smooth sailing and meals you will love, I highly recommend The Atlas, Captain Kelton and Chef Jay.

Great food, great views and great company.

We spent a week on the Atlas catamaran as a large group of 10, with Jay & Kelton as the crew. Jay is a fabulous chef with a great amount of tasty meals served to us. He also suggested some new music for my listening pleasure. Captain Kelton did an amazing job, he is very knowledgeable and accommodating. These guys did an amazing job, excellent service.
They kept us well fed, entertained and showed us some great areas to snorkel and see sunsets.
With a group of ten, these guys were constantly on the go and they kept a good attitude the whole time.
If I were to go on another catamaran and needed a crew, these would be the guys I would want.
The boat was nice sized and comfortable for all ten of us. 60ft long.
Also, there were plenty of toys to play with in the water paddle boards, snorkel and masks e.Foil.
If you want a trip of a lifetime, this is a pretty great way to go.

Best Vacation Ever!

Still thinking about our week aboard Morningstar with crew Chrisjan and Cleona cruising the Virgin Islands ( and wishing I was back on that cat!) -- easily one of the best experiences I´ve ever had on the water! From the moment my sisters and I stepped aboard it was clear this was going to be a luxurious vacation.
Christian and Cleona greeted us like old friends and made us feel very welcome. This husband and wife crew were absolute standouts -- warm, attentive, and working effortlessly in sync. You could feel how much they genuinely love what they do, and it made the whole experience feel so personal rather than just transactional.
Aaand the food? Completely next level! Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and SO beautifully presented: Cleona´scuisine honestly rivals some of the best meals I´ve had in any restaurant. It´s rare to be this impressed by dining on a boat, but Cleona absolutely nailed it.
The service was flawless. Somehow Chrisjan and Cleona anticipated our every need before we even had to ask, striking that perfect balance between being attentive and giving us space to relax and soak it all in.
Our catamaran, Morningstar was immaculate and spacious, very well kept. We couldn´t have asked for a better captain -- Chrisjan did a perfect job planning our itinerary and making sure I got to do some hiking and we all loved the snorkeling.
This vacation was so great, I definitely will do this again, and I will book with Authentic Yacht Charters!

ATLAS Yacht-captain Nick

The ATLAS boat crew is the best. If you are looking for the greatest time to the BVI´s, this is the one. Captain Nick and Dasha are truly the best. We will be coming back many more times

Great trip

Great trip! Our captain did a wonderful job working around high winds. Dasha made wonderful meals for us!

BVI, Atlas, and crew did not disappoint. Well worth the time and money.

We were on a 5 day cruise on a 60ft catamaran called Atlas, beautiful yacht. Captin Nick took great care of us and Dasha is an excellent chef. Will hook again.

Sun, sea, and the most unforgettable onboard experience.

This trip to the British Virgin Islands was truly exceptional from start to finish. The location was breathtaking, the accommodations were perfect, and every detail felt thoughtfully curated.

Nick, our captain, was outstanding - knowledgeable, professional, and more than accommodating. He made us feel completely at ease and went above and beyond to ensure our experience was seamless and enjoyable.

And then there was Dasa… wow. Her food was literally chef’s kiss. Every meal was incredible, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. Do yourself a favor and request the tuna poke bowl.

The combination of stunning scenery, impeccable service, and warm hospitality made this a trip we’ll be talking about for years with our friends. I can’t recommend this experience enough. If you’re considering a trip to the BVI, Atlas is the way to do it.

Fun Facts- BVI

Our seven-day catamaran trip with Captain Nicholas and Chef D was nothing short of spectacular, and they truly made the entire experience.

From the very beginning, Nicholas was incredibly helpful with logistics, including recommending a water taxi so we could maximize our time on the boat with them—which ended up being the perfect call. The meal preference form was another standout; it allowed Chef D to absolutely work her magic. What she created in such a small galley—with limited space and storage—was genuinely impressive. Every meal felt thoughtful, creative, and delicious, and it’s hard to believe what she pulled off day after day.

Captain Nicholas went above and beyond in every way. From making the beds each morning, setting the table for meals, and always making sure everyone was hydrated (or enjoying a perfectly made old fashioned or margarita), to the way he connected with our two boys—it was incredible. He taught them diving techniques that even I, with 25 years of diving experience, hadn’t learned before. It was a reminder of how valuable it is to dive with someone new who brings a different level of expertise.

What really stood out was how Nicholas challenged our boys—encouraging them to be stronger, more confident, and capable—while also having zero problem being a kid right alongside them. Towing them, laughing with them, and fully joining in on the fun created moments we’ll never forget. Watching their smiles all week was the best Christmas gift we could have asked for.

It honestly felt like being on a boat with a full crew, even though there were only two of them. Their level of care, pride, and attention to detail is rare these days. You can tell they both genuinely love what they do, and it shows in everything they do.

If you’re booking through this company, I would absolutely recommend requesting Captain Nicholas and Chef D specifically. They didn’t just run the trip—they made it unforgettable.

An absolutely flawless week — Captain Nicholas & Chef D made it unforgettable

From the moment we stepped on board, this trip felt effortless — and that is entirely because of Captain Nicholas and Chef D. Every detail, every destination, every plan, and every adventure ran smoothly. We never had to worry about a single thing, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy the experience.

Captain Nicholas was exceptional. Beyond his skill and professionalism, what stood out most was how incredible he was with our kids. He kept them engaged, entertained, and genuinely happy all week — fishing, diving, dinghy rides, and nonstop fun. He brought so much energy, heart, and care to our family, and created memories we will be talking about for years to come.

Chef D made this feel like a true vacation. Not having to think about meals at all was such a gift, and every single meal was outstanding. She went above and beyond with her talent, warmth, and kindness, and made us feel completely taken care of from morning to night. Her food, creativity, and presence truly set the tone for the entire trip.

Together, Captain Nicholas and Chef D created an experience that was seamless, joyful, and deeply special for our family. We are incredibly grateful and cannot recommend this crew highly enough.

Amazing Trip to BVI´s

This was the second trip to the BVI´s for most of us and the third for one couple. Nick and Dasa planned and coordinated an amazing trip. They adjusted plans to accommodate us and changes in the weather. Dasa´s meals were simply amazing. We never went hungry.

The Vacation of a Lifetime!

Everything about our vacation was perfect!! John Dewhurst from Yacht Vacations was fabulous to work with and extremely helpful. He checked in every step of the way! Our boat Southern Queen was beautiful and exactly as described online, plenty of room for our group of 5 couples. Nick the Captain and Dasa the chef were amazing. Nick worked with us to create an action packed but also relaxing itinerary for our trip which was only 4 nights, so much shorter than normal. We can´t wait to go back for a longer charter next time!

Fantastic Experience!

The Crew, Nick and Dasa, were so accommodating and great people that always had our safety and interests at heart, along with spectacular food. Our group had an incredible experience and I would highly recommend!
