    We decided that with three kids the space a catamaran would give us would be necessary. Not only that, I can see it as a boat that would 'grow' with us as the kids do.

      I have been shopping catamarans for some time now and also like the Voyage 440s. I will admit that the FP Belize is the easiest boat to move around on that I have ever been on. Steps where needed, wide passages, nice staterooms.
      Still looking for "the boat".

      My husband and I have considered a Lagoon or a Fountain Pajot. Lagoon just came out with their 440, which they are advertising as a good short-handable boat...course all of this is going to depend on your available budget, but these boats have most living space in the hulls, which is more desireable for blue water. Good luck!

        A Catamaran. 39 to 40-something feet long. It would give enough space and be
        a comfortable ride.

        Hello everyone,
        We are new to this site. We are planning to starting doing some
        cruising next summer, when school is out and then if we all like it
        we may continue cruising and homeschool the kids. Do any of you
        have any experience cruising with children? Any and all advice
        would be appreciated. Also, we are reading all the books we can
        find on crusing. Any books that you would reccommend?

        We have an 11 yo and a 13 yo that will be traveling with us.
        What type of cruising boat would you reccommend that we start to
        look at with children of these ages that will allow all of us a
        little space from each other when we need it, not that there is much
        space on a boat miles from shore. They are old enough to help us
        but also old enough to drive each other crazy too.

        We are sick of this crazy work, work, work world we live in. We just
        want to slow life down a little and enjoy our kids while they are
        still young enough.

        Thanks for all your help,
        Valerie
