We rented a catamaran for one day to hold a wedding ceremony.
The catamaran was easy to find in the port.
Its condition was excellent.
They met us on time. Getting on board was only possible by jumping from the neighboring catamaran (which is hardly feasible in a wedding dress), and we had to wait for the catamaran to dock again. After moving a bit, we had to wait again for a group to arrive for a yacht inspection (we found out about this afterward). All of this happened during the rental time.
Cabins. They are comfortable, with a separate bathroom and shower. There is a fan by the bed. The portholes can also be opened, so sleeping is quite fresh and comfortable. BUT! There are insects in the cabins (and not just there).
The crew is very friendly, everyone speaks English. They are completely unobtrusive during the trip. We especially liked the cook, a cheerful guy.
Food. At the welcome, we were offered wonderful avocado cocktails. Dinner in the evening. All the food was delicious, and the portions were large. Those who do not like spicy food should be cautious (some members of our group did not have dinner). Breakfast and lunch were all tasty.
Regarding the route: I recommend discussing it in detail with the captain in advance. Our priority was a beautiful view, so we anchored for the ceremony and overnight stay near Veligama (the view is indeed beautiful and the rocking is not too strong). After 11 PM, music plays in one of the beach bars, and it seems very loud on the water; we could only go to sleep after 3 AM.
On the second day, we went to see whales and dolphins. We saw both. The ocean at dawn is beautiful, especially with the whales.
I recommend bringing sunscreen and motion sickness pills.
Despite some downsides, we were satisfied with the trip!
