Ana Luna Details
Ana Luna, a 45' French built catamaran is one of only 13 Wauquiez Kronos Catamarans ever constructed. Launched in 1995 she was constructed for the high end French market and cost roughly double cats of the same size.

Teak decks throughout compliment the exceptional teak woodwork and joinery found throughout the salon and 4 cabins with en suite complete bathrooms.

Sloop-rigged with safe and efficient deck plan, guests often remark on how easy she is to sail. Her dedicated preventor line is a unique feature and is not found on any other cat's that we know of. The preventor makes accidental jibing impossible and planned jibes much easier.

Helmsman sits on a couch for 3 in yachts center providing clear vision all around and a more social scene as 2 others may sit with helmsman.

Relaxation areas abound. The 2 large trampolines forward are always popular for tanning, the oversized pulpits at bows make this area safer and provide
good seating while at anchor and underway.

Bimini covering cockpit is fully walkable and very popular for relaxation, cockpit curtains can provide more privacy, protection for wind and rain and
are employed quickly and easily.

Ana Luna's rig is beefy and impressive, her blocks and physical size of mast and boom along with overbuild diamond rig all added to initial cost of yacht but are hugely welcome when the winds are blowing and sea's are high.

Captain Nathan Worswick's ongoing business of procurement and retail sales of international handicraft items is much in evidence with oriental rugs, hand loomed decor, rattan placemats, Balinese wood carvings and the like throughout the salon and cabins.

Itinerary
Most of the year we explore the Bermuda islands, sailing and diving by day and in "delicious anchorages" by night. Weather and wind direction are large factors along with passanger desires.

Activities
Daily activities with up to 10 day guests aboard. Focus on sailing, snorkeling ,sea kayaking and scuba diving. Generally sailing followed by water activities. Weather and guests’ requests will be carefully considered when planning the activity of the day.

Grotto Bay
We often start and end charters at Grotto Bay -- home to Grotto Bay Hotel. Grotto Bay is near to the airport and provides a yacht-watering facility. It is also the locale of our associate, Triangle Diving, a tank-fill facility. At Grotto Bay, guests can do an easy snorkel, dive on WWII barges often teeming with sea life, explore caves ashore on hotel grounds, kayak the bay, or kayak to "Tom Moore's Jungle" a natural reserve with hiking trails and caves.

Scuba Four Dives
1. Snake Pit
2. Caraquet
3. Hog Breaker
4. Madiana

Scuba Four Dives and "midocean parking" is a fabulous area for scuba and snorkel. The site is due north of Bermuda, five miles offshore but still within the fringing reef. We dive all four, two dives per day with possability of a night dive as well. Nights are spent tied to mooring ball or at anchor (winds need to be less than 20 kts).

Blue Hole
One of our favorites for scuba and snorkel, Blue Hole never disappoints, always teems with fish, has great swim-through, great reef system, is shallow, and dives often last 1 1/2 hours. Can be overnight as well with a night dive possible.

Ely's Harbour
Ely's Harbour with dives to Chubb Head, Southwest Breaker and beyond. Wonderful anchorage in the “country,” lots of options en route and then a good jumping-off spot for dives on south shore and Chubb Head area. Possibility of sailing up the south shore to Castle Harbour.

Simple Pleasures
There are lots of anchorages and activities which are not so "exotic". These include Paradise Lakes, Admiralty House Park, St. Davids lsland, St. Georges Harbour, Mangrove Bay, and others. These all offer good snorkeling and kayaking, with a sail to and from.

Guests should express their interests and abilities so we can plan the trip that is best for you.
