Resilience in the Face of Adversity

As our community recovers from the impacts of not one, but two devastating hurricanes, we at Kathleen D Sailing Catamarans want to take a moment to acknowledge the strength, perseverance, and unity that have emerged in these challenging times. Hurricanes Helena and Milton have left significant destruction in their wake, affecting homes, businesses, and lives throughout our region. Our hearts go out to those who have experienced loss and hardship during these storms. 💙 The road to recovery will be long, but the resilience of this community has shown us time and time again that we will rebuild stronger than ever.

While our focus has always been on providing a place for relaxation and adventure, we know that right now, many are simply seeking a sense of normalcy. We’ve weathered the storm together, and now that the waters have calmed, we are ready to welcome you back on board when you’re ready—offering a peaceful escape and a moment to reconnect with the beauty that surrounds us.

Weathering the Storms Together

At Kathleen D Sailing Catamarans, we were not immune to the challenges brought by Hurricanes Helena and Milton. Like many in our community, we faced the uncertainty of protecting our vessels and ensuring the safety of our crew and customers. Thanks to careful preparation, the strength of our team, and the supportive spirit of those around us, we weathered the storms. Our priority has always been safety—both on and off the water—and we took every step necessary to secure our catamarans and keep our operations ready to resume once the storms passed.

Now that the skies have cleared and the waters are calm, we’re grateful to report that all three of our catamarans are safe, prepared, and ready to welcome you back. It’s a reminder of the resilience we share, both as a business and as part of this incredible community. While the storms tested us, they also highlighted the importance of unity and perseverance. We’re proud to have made it through, and we’re eager to get back to what we love most—offering unforgettable sailing experiences for our guests.

Calm After the Storm: Time for Reflection and Recovery

After enduring the storms’ fury, we now find ourselves in a moment of calm—an opportunity to pause, reflect, and begin the process of recovery.
