Akka - A Stunning 68' Caribbean Catamaran - Video Tour

A Stunning 68' Caribbean Catamaran - Akka.

Akka is a high performance sailing catamaran built by legendary multihull designer Peter Spronk, is a must for those who enjoy the thrill of true sailing charter vacations.

This pristine yacht is a credit to her crew who have lovingly taken care of her for many years. She was launched in October 1992 and sailed in the North Sea, Baltic, and the fjords around Norway.

After crossing the Atlantic from Holland to the West Indies, she cruised the waters of the Bahamas before sailing to Florida. Akka is now based on the island of St Maarten, Dutch West Indies.

Entering Akka from the cockpit aft there is a wonderful large head (bathroom) to port with large shower area, sink and toilet. The galley is conveniently located to starboard with the crew's quarters just forward with access from the galley area.

To charter Akka or if you have catamaran vacation questions give us a call on 800-478-2029 for prompt service and attention to your needs.

The master cabin is accessed from the cockpit, the mid cabin from the salon, and there is also single berth here that is used as a nice storage area. The two forward cabins are accessed through a hatch window on the deck, for the more agile members of the group!

The salon has guest seating for playing games and dining, note the inlaid chess/checker board.

Caribbean Yacht Charters - The Pelican Brief

The Pelican Brief
By: Andrew Buys (Catamaran Yacht Charters)

While Gaile and I were chartering in the Caribbean learning all the anchorages for our guests, we used to take these free week-ends with friends and get lost in paradise just chilling out. Gaile, my wife of 39 years, is one of those wonderful persons whom people, dogs, cats and birds, are attracted to. When we were in the Virgin Islands those single girls would gravitate towards "mother" Gaile, so there was forever a bunch of single girls hanging around our catamaran and the safety of "Mother" Gaile.

One July week-end in 1993 the girls decided to rent 8 movies and then we would find a quiet anchorage where we would hang out for the week-end. We found our anchorage off Peter Island called little harbor. After snorkeling most of the morning the 6 girls and myself were sitting on the trampoline when I realized that water is heavy....There were many pelicans diving for minnows around our catamaran and it struck me that for 2-3 seconds pelicans are unable to fly when their pouches are filled with water. Their pouch holds about 3 pints of heavy seawater and small minnows, so they purge the water out of their beaks tilt their heads and swallow their catch.m.m.m.m. This meant they were vulnerable to to being caught by hand, provided that one dived near our catamaran and I could time it exactly correctly. If I ran off the side of our catamaran and dived in the air just after the pelican, I would then flare open my arms and catch the pelican with a beak full of water and fish..mm..mm..m..


"Girls what would you bet me if I say that I can catch a pelican with my bare hands in the next few minutes and you can touch the feathers then I would let it go? ". "What are you talking about?", they all asked in total disbelief, "impossible!!". I negotiated for some chocolate if i was successfull. I do not remember what I promised them if it did not work, I did not tell them how this was going to go down anyway. I sat and waited for the right pelican to fly just too close to our catamaran, while I was waiting they were teasing me "so where is the pelican Mr Hot Shot??". Wait!! I said and they teased me even more. I waited, all the time watching, 10 minutes went by with constant heckling by those female non-believers, then the right Pelican was aimed in flight (a dive) at the distance I felt would work.

I was running along the side of the catamaran and just behind the Pelican then in the air, (I was diving) the pelican hit the water a second before I did. I hit the water far enough away from him as not to hurt him but to come up after the initial underwater dive right where our "Mr Pelican" was. It was too late for Mr. Pelican as he emerged with water and fish in his beak I surfaced right next to him with open arms. His wing span was far too big to get him moving in time to escape my closing arms, his beak remained filled with water and a little fish, this pelican was surprised but no where near as surprised as the woman sitting on deck in total disbelief.

Then there erupted the loudest laughter, they were cracking up on deck, tears running down their faces, I had to stop them and say go and get a camera ladies I cannot stay here all day waiting for you to take these pictures.
