A perfect blend of luxury and adventure...
Welcome Aboard
Abby Normal To is a 5-cabin 2019 Leopard 50 catamaran docked at Village Cay Marina in Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. Abby is crewed by a lively, warm, and experienced married couple Richard and Shannon Hallett who have been with Abby since she was first launched in the summer of 2019.
Abby was previously managed by the Moorings chartering company until she set off on her own adventure in 2023. In that same year, Abby received a few upgrades to the interior, exterior, appliances, and sports equipment.
Life aboard Abby is a perfect blend of luxury and adventure! You'll never the forget days that start with a swim in the crystalline waters and end on the top deck chatting with loved ones under a blanket of stars.
