Education & Community

The Catamaran Gurus Open House goes beyond boat tours, offering a series of planned educational sessions designed to help buyers and owners make smarter decisions. We will cover topics such as yacht ownership as a business, charter management, insurance considerations, marine financing and mortgages, what to expect when buying a boat—new or used, and how to successfully sell your yacht.

Just as important is the community. This open house is about connecting with the people who live the lifestyle every day. Attendees can expect informal conversations with real owners aboard their own boats, firsthand insights into liveaboard life, cruising, and charter experiences, and a relaxed dockside atmosphere with food and drinks.
