What this is

  1. The yacht

    An 80-foot explorer yacht with ocean-going range, stabilised for comfort and being refitted to the standard of a boutique hotel.

  2. Your own crew

    Captain, chef and mate. Six guests at most, and nobody you didn't bring.

  3. Further afield

    Two seasons, two coasts, anchorages the charter fleet never reaches.

Two seasons, two coasts

The Pitons rising above the coast of St Lucia.
Winter

Eastern Caribbean

The Pitons from your own deck, trade-wind passages between islands, dinner ashore when the mood takes you.

An iceberg in fog off Newfoundland.
Summer

Atlantic Canada

Fjords, icebergs, puffins and whales, and a harbour village where the fog arrives on schedule.

A teak side deck in evening light, mountains across the water.
Now in refit

The yacht

An 80-foot explorer yacht built to cross oceans, not to sit in a marina. Long range, a stabilised hull that stays level in a seaway, and a draft shallow enough for the coves the bigger boats sail past. She's in refit now for our first season.

map[When she's done:three ensuite cabins, a saloon with a view no hotel can offer, and a chef who shops the morning market in whichever harbour we woke up in. Tender, kayaks and paddleboards for when the anchor goes down.]

Not your usual charter

Home is now behind you, the world is ahead.

We're not a floating hotel, though we keep the standards of one. We go where the chart gets interesting, change plans when the weather does, and still sit down to a proper dinner. If that sounds like your kind of holiday, we should talk.
