Board I'm Lovin' It in Sarasota, FL, and trade the city for broad Gulf water, low horizons, and a luxury multihull built for social days on the sea. The 2026 Prestige M48 power catamaran—operated through Kokomo Charters—reimagines mid-size yachting with a wide beam, panoramic windows, and an open layout that blurs indoor and outdoor living. On deck you’ll find an elevated flybridge with lounge seating, an oversized bow sunpad, and a resort-style aft cockpit that flows through sliding glass into an air-conditioned salon. The design matters here: the catamaran platform provides remarkable stability in Sarasota Bay and along Florida’s Gulf Coast, so family members who sway with single-hull boats can relax. A hydraulic swim platform makes getting in and out of calm sandbar anchorage easy; included toys—an 11’ paddleboard, snorkel gear, a 10’ SunChill float, and floating noodles—turn a cruising itinerary into a full day at anchor. The vessel also stocks ice, bottled water, refrigeration, and a premium Bluetooth sound system for effortless entertaining. Typical charters run three or four hours, with private bookings starting at the published rates and a maximum of 13 guests. Popular itineraries center on shallow sandbars where seagrass plains break into white sand pockets, mangrove-lined shorelines, and dolphin-rich feeding grounds—prime for sunset cruises, casual snorkeling stops, picnic lunches, or a small celebration. Because this is offered as a bareboat charter under U.S. Coast Guard rules, the charterer arranges a qualified, insurance-approved captain from Kokomo Charters’ roster if required; fuel and customary gratuity are additional. What sets this option apart in Sarasota is the combination of modern multihull comfort and local coastal access: the M48’s space rivals larger vessels but slips into shallower anchorages for intimate sandbar experiences. The area’s wildlife—Atlantic bottlenose dolphins and wading shorebirds—adds live entertainment, while seagrass beds and limestone flats create a blue-green stage that reads beautifully at golden hour. Add concierge extras—catering, beverage packages, celebration décor, or a professional photographer—to turn a sunset charter into a milestone. For travelers who value stability, style, and a social platform for exploring Sarasota’s coastal waters, a private charter aboard I’m Lovin’ It delivers a confident, comfortable day on the Gulf. Before you go, plan for sun and sudden breeze: bring reef-safe sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, sunglasses, and a windbreaker after sunset. Towels and a cooler for extra provisions are recommended if you’re bringing more than the included refrigeration. Note that fuel is billed on actual consumption and the charterer assumes control of the vessel during a bareboat charter; arrange an experienced rostered captain if you prefer to relax while someone handles navigation. Meet at the designated Sarasota, FL launch point provided at booking; Kokomo Charters’ staff can advise tide windows and ideal sandbar pick-up.
