Charter Yacht STORM PETREL New England... arrives safely

We just received an email from Phil & Laura of Storm Petrel to let us know that they have arrived safely in Massachusetts.  The trip from St Thomas, US Virgin Islands to MA only took ten days... Good going, guys!

Storm Petrel's base is in Buzzards Bay, so Phil likes to pick up at North Falmouth, near the Bourne Bridge. Phil is from that neck of the woods and has an incredible amount of local knowledge about this area. It would be a fun trip.

Perhaps a 4th of July charter... Newport Jazz or Folk Festivals... Labor Day... Summer BBQ???

Sailing Diving & Fun with Promenade

As you long-time readers are aware, the charter yacht PROMENADE, a 65-foot trimaran that accommodates up to 10 or 12 guests, is one of our favorite boats.

They are an excellent choice for families or groups who want to have fun... sailing, diving, fishing, kneeboarding, riding pull toys like a tube or the Predator, or just chilling out on the power lounger.  They can do it all :)

We'd like to share this really cool photo that Kerry took the other day of a puffer fish.

Isn't it a cutie?

PROMENADE is still available for a Christmas charter through December 27th.  Book quickly because the big boats don't last long for the holidays!

RECIPE: Pacific Wave Dorado Stacks with Salsa Verde

Here's a tasty recipe that we received from Mark, the chef aboard the charter yacht PACIFIC WAVE

This is an excellent lunch or dinner entrée. I have combined numerous vegetables and textures so that it can be served on its own without additional side dishes.

Dorado Stacks with Salsa Verde

Ingredients – Serves 4

• 4 Dorado fillets (or any other meaty white fish with no bones)
• 1 large Aubergine (Eggplant) – cut into ½ inch thick slices
• 2 Beef Tomatoes – thinly sliced
• 1 Small ball of Mozzarella Cheese – thinly sliced
• 1 handful of Fresh Basil – remove stalks
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Olive Oil

For the Salsa Verde

• 2 large handfuls Parsley – finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Capers – rinsed
• 1 tablespoon Dill Pickles – finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Anchovies – finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic – crushed
• 3 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
• 3 fl oz Olive Oil

Process

1. Make the salsa verde by combining the parsley, capers, dill pickles, anchovies and garlic in a bowl, then stir in the red wine vinegar and olive oil. Set aside.
2. Brush the aubergine (egg plant) with some of the olive oil and cook under a hot grill or in a griddle pan until golden brown on both sides. Drain on kitchen towel.
3. Heat a little oil in the griddle pan and cook the dorado fillets until golden brown. Add the balsamic vinegar to the pan with the fish and cook for 1 minute.
4. On 4 serving plates layer the aubergine (egg plant) followed by the basil, tomato, mozzarella and dorado. Then drizzle with the salsa verde and serve
