High Marks for Staff, Value
Chartered a Lagoon 440 that was fairly new, the boat was in very good condition. The checkout was very organized and easy, the staff was more than helpful in the usual drills and replaced a couple of missing items right away.
The only issue with the boat we had were a couple of dead lights, but the major systems all were trouble-free.
Would certainly come back.

Disagree with last post
I have done a bunch of chartering in the BVI and have been very happy with CatCo, both in terms of boats and service. The people there are attentive and helpful, I think you just have to understand that charter companies are not hotel operators and not expect to be pampered all the time. The most important things is that the boats are well taken care of and that the check-out, charter briefings, etc. are informative and efficient. What really matters is to get out on the water and that once you are there, everything works.
At Catamaran Co, the facilities are good, the boats are well maintained and the people know how to run a charter outfit. I have chartered there a couple of times and whenever I have had problems they have been prompt in resolving them.
Would recomend the Privelege designs over the Lagoons, but that is personal preference and both are nice.
I have also used Voyage and like them as well.

Good boat, service OK
Chartered a Lagoon with them, which was quite nice and in good condition. No problems with the boat at all.
The service, however was not as good as I would have liked. The staff seemed more interested in getting the charter briefing done than with explaining all the ins and outs of operating the boat. I had that experience more broadly on Tortola but would have hoped for a bit more friendliness on the part of the operator.
Most importantly, they told us what was needed and the boat was splendid. I would use them again.
