Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 · Nalu
Discover Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 – Nalu, a 4-cabin catamaran that pairs the laid-back rhythm of a BVI trade-wind cruise with the comfort and stability of a modern multihull. Launched in 2022 and measuring 13.45 metres (44.1 ft) overall, Nalu is currently based in Ritter House Marina | Road Town — a perfect launchpad for week-long sailing escapes across the Sir Francis Drake Channel and the British Virgin Islands.
Fitted with 11 berths, 4 sleeping cabins and 4 toilets, Nalu carries up to 11 people on board — made for two families travelling together, a circle of friends or a small group exploring deserted cays and turquoise lagoons at their own pace. Some boats include linens, pillows and blankets in the charter price, others charge for them at the base — we let you know which before you book, so you can step on board, stow your provisions and head straight for the open water.
She carries a classic mainsail. Also aboard for time off the helm: audio system, inside speakers, outside speakers, and flat screen TV. Whether you're picking a buoy at The Baths off Virgin Gorda, diving the wreck of the RMS Rhone at Salt Island, or snorkelling the reef off Sandy Cay, Nalu gives you the platform to design the trip on your own schedule, with our team a message away from your first enquiry to the final day of the charter.

General questions
This catamaran is based at Ritter House Marina, Road Town, and that is where charters on her start. Round trips back to the base are standard; for a one-way route, send it to us with your dates and we confirm in writing whether the operator can arrange it.
For the coming twelve months this catamaran is listed between 6,845 € and 11,638 € per week, depending on the week — every figure is the whole-week price, never a day rate, and the live calendar above shows the rate week by week. Skipper, hostess or chef, final cleaning and any other mandatory or optional extras carry their own prices in the Extras section; local costs such as cruising permits, marine-park and mooring fees and fuel are itemised on every written quote.
Licence rules differ by country. BVI and Bahamas accept a self-declared sailing résumé at check-in — no formal licence required for bareboat; the base may insist on a co-skipper if experience reads thin. Martinique follows French rules — ICC, French Permis Hauturier, or recognised equivalent. Grenada requires ICC, RYA Day Skipper or ASA 104 minimum plus a VHF SRC certificate. Always send a scan ahead of booking — we'll confirm acceptance with the home base before contracts go out.
BVI is the easiest first-time bareboat — line-of-sight navigation between Tortola, Norman Island, Cooper, Virgin Gorda and Anegada, 25-30 mooring buoys per anchorage, all passages 5-15 NM. Bahamas (Exumas) rewards longer crossings with empty sandbars, swim-with-pigs at Big Major Cay, and Thunderball Grotto — passages run 15-30 NM with the occasional 40-50 NM jump to Eleuthera. Grenadines (Martinique → Grenada) packs the densest snorkel anchorages in the Caribbean — Tobago Cays Marine Park, Bequia, Mayreau, Mustique — with 5-12 NM hops between islands and the most cultural variety: French Creole, British, independent island states all on one week.
Plan 3-4 hours under way most days and anchor by early afternoon for swimming, snorkelling and sundowners. BVI averages 5-15 NM passages — Tortola → Norman → Cooper → Virgin Gorda → Anegada → back. Bahamas Exuma chain runs 15-30 NM between cays with the Nassau-to-Eleuthera or Nassau-to-Andros crossings stretching to 40-50 NM. Grenadines packs 5-12 NM island-hops between Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Tobago Cays and Union. With 15-20 knot trades on the beam most passages are sailed not motored.
Caribbean trade winds blow east-north-east at 15-20 knots December through May, dropping to 10-15 knots June through November. The Christmas Winds reinforce trades to 20-25 knots from late December to early January — booking around that window is the trade-off between strong reaching conditions and busier anchorages. Atlantic hurricane season runs 1 June - 30 November (peak August-October). Most charter insurance excludes named-storm-zone cruising July-October, restricting BVI / Bahamas / northern Antilles charters. Grenada and Trinidad sit below 12°N — outside the main hurricane belt — so the southern Grenadines stay open year-round with minor insurance surcharges.
