The Footloose 51.5 features a powerful mainsail and easy-to-handle overlapping genoa.
Footloose offers charter boats at a price that makes it easier to include the whole family.
A value-leading bareboat charter company based in the British Virgin Islands, Footloose Yacht Charters is introducing a high-performing monohull at the top end of its fleet. Longer than 51 feet, the Footloose 51.5 was built by Beneteau and has been outfitted particularly for sailing charterers with four double cabins, en-suite heads, plus a separate cabin forward, potentially used by a captain if one is hired for the charter.
The 51.5s are 16 feet wide and feature a powerful mainsail and easy-to-handle overlapping genoa. Total sail area is 1,184 square feet, with controls led aft. Each boat features a full electronics package, including color charterplotter, autopilot and DSC VHF radio.
Belowdecks, the 51.5 has a layout that emphasizes privacy for up to four couples; each has its own cabin, shower and head. Although this reduces the size of the main cabin somewhat, it is kept spacious by locating the galley along the port side, opposite the dining area.
Footloose CEO Lex Raas was quoted in a recent press release saying that the 51.5 is “…a significant addition to our fleet. We’re excited to offer our customers such a spacious, comfortable performance cruiser…at Footloose’s great charter rates.”
The Footloose 51.5 can be chartered from the Footloose base in Tortola, British Virgin Islands, and, if you book in July, for a charter anytime up through October 27th, the company is offering one free charter day if you pay for five at the summer rate of $540/day. Charter for longer and you get three free days.
