Press Release: The Moorings
June 14, 2002
CLEARWATER, FL -- The Moorings has set a course for the ultimate in luxury crewed sailing, with the announcement yesterday that the premier charter company will launch a new line of 62-foot catamarans beginning this November when the first yacht is scheduled for charter in the British Virgin Islands.

Fun, Freedom and Comfort on an entirely new level.

The Moorings new M6200 crewed catamaran is the ultimate in fun, freedom and comfort. The yacht features four private staterooms, with personal heads, showers and vanity areas spaciously designed to accommodate up to 8 guests. A grand saloon provides for completely separate lounging and dinning areas, as well as for a full entertainment center with stereo, TV and DVD player and cocktail bar. The entire enclosed area of the yacht is air conditioned for extra comfort too.

The 6200 features a spacious cockpit and a hardtop flybridge. The flybridge is a great place to sail or sunbath. Below, the shaded cockpit dedicated to guests offers easy access to the swim platform, which is perfectly designed for diving, snorkeling and boarding the dinghy. With so much extra space, guests will have plenty of room for dining, relaxing and entertaining.

Sailing adventures on the new Moorings 6200 include a full crew and a well stocked galley, where a chef will prepare gourmet meals and hors d'oeuvres for service inside or on deck.

A state-of-the-art electronic navigation station, as well as the flybridge helm, provides the captain with all the equipment necessary for easy sailing, great performance and excellent maneuverability. Guests can plan their own unique itinerary or just leave it up to the captain -- either way a Moorings sailing vacation on a new 6200 will prove worry-free and luxurious.

A luxury 62-foot crewed yacht wouldn't be complete without lots of water toys! The Moorings new catamaran will be loaded with toys, including a windsurfer, kayak, water skis, knee board, inflated tube, skurfboard, and of course, snorkeling gear.

The Moorings 6200 is available for ownership under the Advantage Ownership Program. This program provides the privileges of yacht ownership without all the hassles. The Moorings manages the yacht and takes care of all operating and maintenance expenses, including the crew. Owners enjoy up to eight weeks of sailing per year and income from charter revenues.

The Moorings provides bareboat (sail-it-yourself) and crewed (with professional captain and cook) vacations in some of the most desirable locations in the Caribbean, South Pacific, Mediterranean and North America, and is a leader in the sailing vacations industry.

The Moorings is the premier yacht charter operation in the world, with 800 employees and more than 770 yachts in 24 locations. For more information, contact The Moorings at 1-800-368-9991 or visit The Moorings web site at www.moorings.com.
