About Caribbean Cat
Caribbean Cat is a 14-metre power catamaran styled with a colonial Caribbean feel and clean, modern finishes. She hosts up to 49 guests across two levels, where covered rooms open onto outdoor decks. The rooftop deck is set up with lounges and daybeds, a good place to settle in for sunset or while lunch is on the BBQ. The open layout leaves room for music and dancing, and an onboard ice maker keeps drinks cold all cruise. On warm days, guests can slip into the water from the large swim platform, with a complimentary lily pad to float on. Swims happen in daylight, usually in Athol Bay, Mosman, when the weather allows.
