We’re excited to officially welcome Steve Varrow to the Catamaran Gurus team as Head of Caribbean Operations and Senior Yacht Broker. ⚓

With more than 30 years of experience in the marine industry, Steve brings extensive hands-on knowledge in yacht sales, charter operations, offshore sailing, and Caribbean yacht ownership. As a Master 200 captain, IYT Yachtmaster Examiner, and longtime Caribbean maritime professional, he has helped clients navigate everything from yacht acquisitions and charter programs to resale strategy and long-term ownership planning throughout the BVI, USVI, and wider Caribbean.

Together, our goal is to build one of the strongest catamaran sales and support networks in the Caribbean while helping owners navigate not only the purchase and sale process, but also charter operations, ownership transitions, and long-term exit strategies.

As the Caribbean catamaran market continues to evolve, there is a growing need for transparent, experience-driven brokerage representation from professionals who truly understand both the operational and business side of yacht ownership in the region. Steve’s extensive hands-on experience and deep regional relationships make him an incredible asset as we continue expanding our Caribbean presence and supporting clients through every stage of ownership.

Experience the GranOcean W-72 beyond the dockside tour 🇮🇹

Aboard BADE, the adventure is just as impressive as the yacht itself. Spend your days jet skiing along the Italian coastline, wakeboarding in crystal-clear bays, snorkeling secluded coves, swimming off the expansive aft platforms, and enjoying life on the water from a completely different perspective.

The GranOcean W-72 was designed for more than cruising — it was built for entertaining, exploration, and unforgettable days at sea with family and friends. With exceptional stability, expansive outdoor spaces, and luxury comfort throughout, BADE delivers the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.

For anyone considering yacht ownership, this is an opportunity to experience the lifestyle firsthand.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend and National Safe Boating Week from all of us at Catamaran Gurus. ⚓

Ever wondered what it’s really like inside a life raft?

From flares and fresh water to pumps (yes—even for unexpected shark encounters 🦈), every piece of safety gear has a purpose. But one of the most important lessons? Your boat is your best lifeline. Only cut the painter line if the vessel is sinking—otherwise, stay tethered where the food, supplies, and visibility are.

The drogue helps prevent drifting, and during this demo, you can actually climb inside the raft to experience what it feels like firsthand. Because when it comes to offshore safety, preparation and knowledge matter.

Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable weekend on the water.

One of the standout features aboard the YOT 36? The folding side terraces.

With the push of a button, the beam expands from just over 13 feet to more than 17 feet, completely transforming the feel of the boat at anchor. More space to entertain, lounge, swim, and enjoy life on the water with friends and family.

It’s one of those features you truly appreciate the moment you step aboard.
