The Yacht
AMELIA, A 38 FOOT CRUISING CATAMARAN
‘Amelia’ was built by Seawind Yachts in Australia and sailed across the ocean on a fantastic voyage that eventually led to her arrival in Seattle. The owners of Amelia love to share their knowledge and sailing experiences with those looking for new adventures. Amelia sails out of Shilshole Bay in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle and can introduce you to the waters and views all around Puget Sound. Because of its flawless design, ‘Amelia’ does not heel, providing you with a smooth and comfortable sailing experience. ‘Amelia’ is perfect for first timers and is easy to sail, so you can even take control of the wheel. Smooth sailing ensures you stay dry and allows you to walk around on board, experiencing scenic views from all angles. Amelia comfortably hosts parties of up to twelve, with plenty of seating for panoramic views of the Seattle area and Puget Sound. This spacious cruising catamaran is well appointed with two private heads and showers, a full galley and an on-deck gas flattop grill. Bring your own food and beverages or enjoy local catering options! Amelia also has full navigational electronics so you can learn to use instruments and how to sail yachts and cruising catamarans. Sailing ‘Amelia’ is a perfect opportunity to practice before your sailing trips in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean or your next Mexico cruise. ‘Amelia’ is a USCG inspected vessel, certified by the US Coast Guard to carry 12 passengers.

FAQ
Q: Is food provided?
A: Light snacks, soft drinks, coffee, tea, and bottled water are provided by Sailing Caprice. If you would like to bring your own food, you are more than welcome to do so. We even have a grill! If you’re interested in having the trip catered, we have partnered with several of the best restaurants in Seattle to provide you and your guests with a host of extraordinary dining options on ‘Amelia’.
Q: What should I wear?
A: For your comfort, we recommend you wear layered clothing and soft soled shoes. Seattle can be cool and windy in the spring, fall and winter, and warmer and less windy in the summer. However, the temperatures can fluctuate by 20 degrees in a single day, so please prepare accordingly.
Q: What about seasickness?
A: ‘Amelia’ is a 38 foot cruising catamaran. As such, she heels (tips) only 3 to 5 degrees, which makes her one of the smoothest sailing options in Puget Sound. Seasickness is rare on a large cruising catamaran like Amelia. If you are prone to motion sickness, we recommend taking motion sickness medication an hour or two before boarding, just in case.
Q: Can children come aboard?
A: Absolutely! Sailing on ‘Amelia’ is a fun and adventurous experience for kids of all ages. ‘Amelia’ is stocked with life jackets sized for young skippers, and is a great way to introduce your child to the wonders of the water.
