RCI has all of Tradewinds locations. Tradewinds has three classes of catamaran and RCI exchanges are most likely to get the smallest/least luxurious but they're still very impressive. The smallest is a 52 footer with 6 cabins, sleeping 2 each. The crew is just the captain and cook. You can contact Tradewinds before the charter and request your preferred liquor or other beverage. The yachts are incredibly nice, even the smallest ones, check out their site for an awesome 3d tour and all the information you could want. There's a member on here who has done over 50 cruises I believe

I've done 28 not 50. But anyways.......
There are some older boats in Croatia and Greece, but the Caribbean has all newer boats now.
There are 2 50' around that I don't like the layout off. But honest with the new fleet 52' cruising class, 59' or 60' luxury class, or 70', 72' and newest 77' everything is great. There are 4, 5 or 6 cabins depending on the boat and the configuration. Some boats have a premium cabin (owners cabin) some do not, so configurations vary a bit. So at 2 max per cabin you are looking at 8 to 12 guests max. But you do find many solo travelers, and occasional empty cabins, so it could be less.
Each cabin has it own private bath, shower. The new boats are really good about this space, but nicer than the older. The new boats have AC but how much it runs depends on the season, the weather, the class of boat, and the captain.
There is a crew of 2 on all except the Flagship, which you will likely not get as an RCI exchange. I have hear of it happening once, but don't expect that. The Flagship has a higher AI fee and an upscaled and fancier menu, they also have a 3rd crew member. Crew are usually a couple, but there are often exceptions. They decide how to split up the duties between them.
As an RCI exchange you are limited to 1 in 4 year for ANY tradewinds base, not just the one you traded into. You have a slightly higher AI fee as an RCI inbound over a owner cabin. Also owner cabins provide up to 3 SCUBA dives and equipment for no change, these are extra $75 PP per dive for NON-owners.
Any other Questions, just PM me or ask here.
