Thanks again!
Just returned from chartering a DreamYacht in the Caribbean. Ended up with a 44' cat, but not at first. They gave us a sloop (as ordered) which had a diesel leak not only smelling but making everyone very ill. We returned it to the harbour and insisted on a new boat (they kept trying to tell us that they had fixed the leak, but that was soooooo not true!) Anyway, they put us on a cat in the harbor for one night, and then another the next which we then took out for about 9 days. (this was originally supposed to be a 14 day adventure). I think that each marina may have different management and therefore you may have a completely different (better?) experience.
However, I certainly hope that you are an experienced sailor, as it takes quite a bit to run a large catamaran!
Best!
