• Christmas and New Years: $3,100/night for all-inclusive charter, except fuel. Two-night minimum.

 Please note that Satisfaction is a non-smoking yacht.

Comments from a repeat charter we had aboard their previous yacht, Sandcastle:

• How did you enjoy your charter?

It was wonderful!

• Did you find your crew to be helpful, accommodating and friendly?

Rik and Ann treated us like old friends.  They were very helpful, and so much fun!  We were a tough bunch--picky eaters (one vegan, one just picky) and they really worked with us to make us incredible meals.  Also, one was 78 years old, one with poor balance….not quick getting around and in and out of boat/dingy, but Ann and Rik were always supportive and patient.  Lots of fun playing Trivial Pursuit and euchre with them.  We really felt at home on the Sandcastle.       

• Was the yacht comfortable, clean and well maintained?

Yes

• How would you describe the quality and presentation of the meals served on board ?

I took pictures, the presentation was so good!  All vegan meals, and great variety.  Really, really good food!  And Rik is a fantastic bartender!

RECIPE: Catamaran Pisces' Grand Marnier Spoons

Louise Langello, the chef aboard the charter catamaran PISCES, won the culinary contest at the November 2014 VICL Fall Yacht Charter Show in St Thomas with this recipe. It is a savory sweet combination of top sirloin and tropical fruits flavored with the the requisite contest ingredient, Grand Marnier, an orange-flavored cognac liqueur.

GRAND MARNIER SPOONS

STEAK MARINADE

• 2 Top sirloin steaks
• 6 tbs Grand Marnier
• 1/4 cup Freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/4 cup Soy sauce
• 3 tbs Honey
• 2 tbs Asian chili sauce
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tbs Finely minced orange zest
• 1/4 cup Finely minced ginger
• 1/4 cup Fresh basil
• 2 Minced green onions

OTHER INGREDIENTS

• 1 Avocado
• 1 Mango
• Plain goat cheese
• Sea salt
• Pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. Marinate two top sirloins for 4 hours.
2. Take top sirloins out of marinade and set side. Transfer marinade into a small saucepan and simmer on low for 20-25 minutes or until marinade has reduced to 1/3 of its original volume.
3. Meanwhile, mash avocado with fork and lightly season with sea salt and pepper. Place a large dollop of mashed avocado on each spoon for bottom layer.
4. Cube mango into small pieces.
5. Grill steaks to medium rare, then place in foil for 5 minutes.
6. Slice the two sirloins into very thin slices. Wrap one piece of steak around one or two small cubes of mango and place it on top of the mashed avocado.
7. Top the steak and mango piece with a small cruble of goat cheese.
8. Take less than a teaspoon of the marinade reduction and drizzle it over the goat cheese.
9. Serve.

Thanks for sharing your recipe, Louise.

Charter Yacht Promenade Cabin Cruise Week 2015 February 21-28

The charter yacht Promenade (65-foot trimaran) has two cabins open for their cabin cruise week of February 21-28, 2015. This is a great way to experience a charter on Promenade without having to get a group together.

Trimaran Promenade - Crewed Sailing and Scuba Diving Yacht Charters

Sailing Vacations in the Virgin Islands

This is the only charter-by-the-cabin week that Promenade has scheduled for 2015.  They are very popular so don't delay... Contact us ASAP.

Promenade at anchor --- Fishing --- Hiking

Diving --- Ride the Banana --- Chill on the Power Lounger

This is an excellent way for a couple to charter a large, fun boat with all the toys, diving AND fishing, without trying to put together a group with 6 or 8 other people :)

DETAILS:

• DATES: February 21-28, 2014, British Virgin Islands

• RATE: $4100/cabin for 2 people (NOT per person... ie, $2050/person, double occupancy)

• DIVING: Promenade has a dive instructor. Certified divers: $25/dive/diver. Gear rental $150/wk/diver. Resort dives for non-certified divers: $85/dive/diver, gear included.

Includes: All meals aboard (except one dinner ashore) and ship's standard bar, cruising taxes, port taxes, overnight air conditioning, onboard wifi, and all onboard ship's toys. SCUBA diving available at standard rates.

Excludes: Transportation to and from the yacht, including plane and taxi fares. Crew gratuities which are at your discretion but typically 15% of charter fee. Any meals and beverages you choose to have on shore. You will be responsible for one dinner ashore at your own expense.

Promenade is a fully air conditioned, 65-foot trimaran with a beam of 35 feet, that accommodates up to 10 guests in five cabins. The two forward cabins are Queens and each have private, ensuite head/shower. The aftmost center cabin is a Queen, while the port and starboard aft cabins can be configured as either twins or a king.  The aft 3 cabins share 2 heads/showers.

Promenade has a 15-foot dinghy with 50HP motor, waterskis, kneeboard, wakeboard, tube, 2-person kayak, paddleboard on request, 4 water individual power loungers, snorkel gear, fishing equipment (has commercial BVI fishing license), TV/DVD, iPod dock, wifi, and much more!

If this cabin cruise week is of interest, don't wait! We are actively trying to book her up and it would be a shame for you to miss this once-a-season opportunity for 2015.

I spent 5 nights aboard Promenade (aft Queen cabin) while attending the November 2014 Tortola and St Thomas Charter Yacht Shows. I found the boat very comfortable and the crew very hospitable. I had an excellent experience and a wonderful time. Love their homemade ice cream! Promenade is one of our favorite charter yachts.

"Lynn & Mark, Very seldom do things go exactly as planned, almost never do things exceed expectations.... this week was one of those times.  The snorkelling was spectacular the sails were exciting, and above all, the company with Lynn and Mark seeing to our every need made this a wonderful week.  Sadly now back to Philadelphia... cold and dreary as it is this time of year but with warm memories with new friends in Mark & Lynn to keep the memories alive.  See you again."

• Thanksgiving Week 2014: Family of 5

"Many thanks for a wonderful trip & celebration of Charles 70th.  We loved all aspects & TLC you both provided.  The boat is exactly what we'd hoped for & we are delighted to have found you.  The food was incredible, your detailed knowledge of all the best spots was invaluable & appreciated by all.  This has been a great success - many thanks!"

Don't you deserve a bit of pampering and some fun in the sun?
