A closer look
Aft Deck Al Fresco
The expansive aft deck serves as the heart of outdoor living. Beneath the shade of the bimini, a polished teak table invites lingering breakfasts and starlit dinners, cooled by the gentle sea breeze. Adjacent, a gourmet BBQ station hums with the promise of freshly grilled catches, while the integrated swim platform offers immediate access to the turquoise waters, making spontaneous dips an effortless pleasure. This space seamlessly blends convivial dining with the allure of the ocean.
Salon: Coastal Comforts
Step inside to a bright, airy salon, a sanctuary from the midday sun. Panoramic windows frame ever-changing seascapes, creating a dynamic backdrop to relaxed conversation. Plush seating in neutral tones offers a comfortable embrace, ideal for an evening of board games or enjoying a film on the integrated TV. The indoor audio system fills the space with your chosen soundtrack, fostering an atmosphere of understated elegance and calm, a perfect retreat after a day of island exploration.
Foredeck: Sun-Kissed Serenity
The foredeck is a canvas for pure relaxation. Stretching out across the catamaran's twin hulls, vast trampolines invite sunbathing, reading, or simply watching the world drift by. The gentle sway of the yacht at anchor, coupled with the warmth of the sun on your skin, creates an idyllic setting for moments of quiet contemplation. It's a space designed for connection with the elements, where the rhythmic lapping of waves becomes your personal soundtrack.
Helm: Captain's Domain
Positioned for optimal visibility, the helm station is where the yacht’s journey unfolds. Here, the captain expertly navigates the Caribbean's azure waters. Guests are welcome to observe the intricate dance of sails and navigation, perhaps even taking a turn at the wheel under guidance. It’s a place where the thrill of sailing truly comes alive, offering a unique perspective on the yacht’s powerful yet graceful movement through the sea.
Outdoor Shower: Post-Swim Refresh
Conveniently located on the aft deck, the outdoor shower provides a refreshing rinse after a swim or a session with the water toys. The sensation of warm freshwater cascading under the open sky, with the sea stretching out before you, is a simple luxury. It’s practical yet invigorating, ensuring comfort and cleanliness without needing to retreat indoors, keeping the focus firmly on the outdoor experience.
Accommodation
Four beautifully appointed cabins provide serene havens for up to eight guests. Each space is thoughtfully designed with a clean, contemporary aesthetic, featuring comfortable berths, ample storage, and individual air-conditioning controls for personalised comfort. The layout ensures privacy, with two cabins in each hull, allowing for quiet retreats after sun-drenched days. While there isn't a dedicated master suite, the consistent quality and generous proportions of each cabin ensure every guest enjoys a restful and rejuvenating night's sleep, waking refreshed to the gentle sway of the ocean.
Culinary delights are a cornerstone of the onboard experience, meticulously prepared to your preferences. The crew’s expertise extends to crafting fresh, vibrant meals, often inspired by the local Caribbean flavours and the day’s freshest catches. Al fresco dining on the aft deck is a daily ritual, where the gentle sea breeze accompanies every exquisite dish. From leisurely breakfasts as the sun rises, to sophisticated dinners under a canopy of stars, each meal is a celebration, perfectly paired with fine wines and impeccable service, creating lasting memories around the table.
While a dedicated spa or gym is not onboard, the entire Caribbean provides an unparalleled natural wellness retreat. Start your day with a refreshing swim off the swim platform, followed by invigorating paddleboarding in calm bays. The pervasive fresh sea air and warm sunshine are natural tonics, promoting relaxation and rejuvenation. With the option for leisurely walks on pristine beaches during island excursions, the focus remains on holistic well-being through connection with the stunning natural environment.
The yacht comes equipped with an impressive array of water toys, promising endless aquatic adventures. Glide across the crystal-clear waters on paddleboards and kayaks, exploring hidden coves and vibrant reefs at your own pace. For those seeking a thrill, the kneeboard and towable tube offer exhilarating rides behind the tender. Floating mats provide a lazy afternoon’s drift, while both light and big game fishing gear invite keen anglers to cast a line and try their luck in the abundant Caribbean waters.

Travis Townsley
United States · English
Captain Travis has been known to say he likes Fast Cars and Slow Boats… Born in Georgia, but raised in Texas, Travis spent the early part of his career working on race car teams (and racing whenever he got a chance). He has worked on everything from Vintage Can Am cars, Formula Fords, Toyota Atlantic, F2000, World Challenge, and Nascar Super Trucks. Life in the fast lane certainly was a good time, but there was something about the calmness, and challenges, of sailing that caught his attention. He eventually hung up the tools and helmet, and bought himself a Hobie Cat and learned to sail. He also started and grew a family business with his Father and 3 siblings, manufacturing product that was supplied to the Land Yacht industry (motorhomes). Raising two kids kept him on land but once they became adults themselves, he knew that a life on the ocean was where he wanted to be. While the kids were home, he started them off on a Sunfish and then went through owning progressively larger monohulls. Once the kids graduated and moved on to college, he and his wife bought a 47’ monohull which they lived aboard for over a year before deciding to change their path in life and purchase RumAway, a 53’ luxury catamaran so that they could share their passion with others. He still enjoys driving a Fast Car now and then, but Slow Boats (sailboats), and life in the warm, blue waters of the Caribbean, are what brings him joy. He looks forward to sharing that joy with you on RumAway. Tara and Travis were MFEO (made for each other). After raising two children of her own, it was in Texas where she met Travis. Travis had a 30’ monohulled on a local lake, and it wasn’t long before Tara was back on the water, where her life started. Travis and Tara were the perfect match; Travis had a dream (to live on a sailboat) and Tara had a plan (how to make it become reality). After surviving (actually thriving) raising 4 teenagers with their new blended family, Tara and Travis set their sights on the prize; to live on a boat. They have been “captain and crew” for many groups bareboating in the islands, and the one common thing that everyone said is “Y’all are so good at showing us a good time and taking care of every last detail, you should do this for a living”. Well 5 boats, ASA certifications, and USCG Captain’s school later, here they are ready to share their love of sailing the islands with you on RumAway.
Tara Townsley
United States · English
Tara has always had a love of the water. You could say it’s in her blood; she was born on a boat (technically she was born at the hospital, but came “home” to a boat). After spending her first few years on a boat in Santa Cruz Harbor, California, her parents decided keeping Tara out of the water and on the boat was more than they could handle; so they sold the boat and bought a Land Yacht (motorhome). The next few years were spent living on the road, seeing the sights. (If you can’t tell, her parents were borderline gypsies, so it’s no surprise that Tara would one day be drawn back to life on the sea). Tara moved around quite a bit before settling in Texas. Corporate America was Tara’s career path where she has worked for several major corporations that sent her travelling all over the world implementing various systems. Tara has always been passionate about cooking, and it’s no surprise that her first job was in the food industry. She got sidetracked with other positions in Corporate America before going back into the food industry for the last 10 years of her career. To say again that Tara is passionate about cooking is an understatement. Tara finds great joy in preparing tasty meals for others to enjoy. She looks forward to sharing with you her creations in the galley.

What a yacht like RUMAWAY costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on RUMAWAY is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 16m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
