ABBY NORMAL TO Yacht Description
In 2019 when the Leopard 50 was voted the Best Charter Boat of the Year by Cruising World, the magazine stated that it was the “Best boat for a sailing vacation.”
Abby Normal To is quite spacious, with many different social areas, which can be used for games with friends or for quiet time reading, writing or even painting. There are 4 cabins and 4 heads for guests (plus a fifth cabin and head for the crew.) The cabins are comfortable and immaculate and there is a door that goes outside to the front of the boat where there is a sitting area from which to watch for your next landmark.
Come join Captain Richard and his wife, Chef Shannon, for an 'easy adventure' you will always remember!
Presented by DMA Yachting, the breathtaking charter yacht ABBY NORMAL TO is a 50 ft sailing catamaran. The most appealing features of ABBY NORMAL TO are her well-chosen interiors and interconnection with the sea. ABBY NORMAL TO spends the season in the Caribbean. She was constructed by the well-known ship builder Robertson and Caine in 2019. An elegant refit was completed in 2023. The expansive yacht layout features 4 large cabins and comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests.
ABBY NORMAL TO is offered primarily as a sailing catamaran. The yacht layout radiates from the main saloon, which connects to the aft deck. The aft deck is expansive, with a comfortable dining and seating area and that's where the guests spend most of their time. The modern cabins offer unbeatable views in the morning and are located just below deck. The cabins offer designer mattrace beds and feature ensuite bathrooms. Multiple portholes offer desirable views, while providing privacy if needed.

Captain: Richard Hallett
Captain Richard Hallett isn’t completely comfortable with that description though. In his words, “If you are coming for a vacation, you are in the wrong place. We do adventures.”
It is also a very luxurious vacation as Shannon Hallett (who is also a sailor in her own right,) is a phenomenal chef and can match her menu to your dietary needs. She is quite adept at finding delicious, fresh produce on the islands as well as fish and meat. A sumptuous dinner is never over until it is finished with some type of delectable dessert.
The adventure part though is what sets Abby Normal To apart from other charter yachts. Part of this is due to the fact that both Richard and Shannon are very familiar not only with sailing, but also with the nature of the islands: the weather and wind, the layout of the area and the many hidden gems the islands hold.
When Captain Richard is sailing the boat he is quite happy to have company sitting next to him at the helm as he explains the processes of sailing a 50 foot catamaran, whether it’s a short sail across Sir Francis Drake Channel on the first evening or a sunrise sail to Anegada. Shannon can show interested sailors how to anchor or how to hook a mooring ball. If you are not up for learning to sail, you can always relax on the beanbags on the tramp, sun up on the u-shaped couch on the flybridge, or read in a nice shady spot.
Captain Richard will sail you to snorkel sites that are off the beaten path, to pristine beaches for lunch and a swim or to explore the RMS Rhône. Shannon can set you up for island tours, scuba diving or even a day diving for conch and making your own ceviche.
Richard and Shannon have sailed Abby Normal To since her first launch in the summer of 2019 and have taken exquisite care of her. They will guide you on the adventure of a lifetime.
