PHOTOS from our visit in November 2013...

Cockpit with table set for two --- Love the fish-themed silverware!

Enjoy the elevated "cat bird" seat at the back of the cockpit.

Watch what's happening, sprawl out with a book and some tunes, take a nap :)

Last but not least, the well-loved adorable Mimi

This comment from a happy camper pretty much sums it up:

"I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful experience Susan and I had on Two Much Fun with Peter and LeeAnn. They were the most gracious hosts, looked after every detail, prepared the most delicious meals, mixed great cocktails, engaged in enjoyable conversation, provided entertainment and an array of water toys resulting in one of the best vacations we ever had! We could not have been happier."

Charter Yacht Zuma: Welcome New Crew, Thierry and Anne

We would like to welcome aboard Zuma's new crew, Thierry and Anne.

Thierry and Anne - Zuma's new crew

Charter Yacht Zuma - Crewed Caribbean Yacht Charters - Virgin Islands Sailing Vacations

Thierry gained his passion for sailing at a very early age in Port Vauban, France, both in racing and cruising. He has sailed the Mediterranean, Caribbean, the New England Coast of USA, Gulf of St-Lawrence and Atlantic Coast of Canada for over 30 years. His international racing career has given him the opportunity to race in Australia, Europe, on the West Coast of Canada and USA. Thierry enjoys sharing his sailing knowledge to the early beginners as well as seasoned sailors. His love for superb wine and great food allows him to offer great recipes to his charter guests. 

Anne was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia (Canada). Her father was a navy officer so she was introduced to sailing at a very young age. When her father retired, the family cruised aboard their 100-foot classic schooner along the Atlantic Coast of Canada and USA down to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. As a world traveler, Anne has collected all kinds of recipes and offers a diverse menu for her guests while respecting their own diet.

You will definitely have excellent meals and treats aboard as both women have experience in the culinary industry. Dianne looks forward to dazzling guests with a cuisine that mixes Caribbean flavors with French techniques.

Kelly and Diane

Capt. Kelly After attending culinary school, Kelly worked as a baker and cook at a catering company for ten years in Portland, Oregon. Upon leaving the catering business, Kelly put her culinary education together with her computer skills and worked as a consultant, implementing systems and controls in restaurants.

Chef Dianne Dianne began working in the food industry in 1975. She graduated from Western Culinary Institute in 1989 and worked for The Red Lion Hotels. She was a Chef Instructor for 23 years at Le Cordon Bleu Portland (Oregon) and received Chef of the Year twice and several student appreciation awards.

In 2012, they felt it was time for a change. Diane remembered her mom's favorite saying “a turtle only moves forward by sticking out its neck“. They decided it was time to live their dream so Dianne and Kelly sold almost everything they owned, including their house, and moved aboard Mango.
