NEW CREW:

  • Captain Laila is taking over from Chad who is now running charters aboard his power catamaran. You may remember Laila from her time on Holga and Fantasy Island. She has recently been spending time with large yachts in various areas of the world. Laila is also a Dive Instructor.
  • Engineer/First Mate Rafael has been working on large yachts in St. Martin the last couple seasons. He loves that Promenade is a "real boat" and looks forward to joining the team.
  • Promenade will also have a chef and stewardness, thus rounding up the crew to three or four.
  • Felix, who has been with Promenade for seven years, will be returning to Promenade around the New Year in more of a support position. For now, he is in on the island of Dominica, his homeland, helping with the rebuilding process in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Erika.

  • $150/diver/week for gear rental (BC & Reg), if required. You may bring your own gear if you wish.
