57-foot Catamaran CERULEAN (Launched August 2009)

This luxurious catamaran, from the drawing board of world-famous designer Chris White, is offered for fully crewed charters in the Windward and Leeward Islands of the Eastern Caribbean, operating primarily in St Vincent and the Grenadines, but available also from St Martin/St Maarten in the north, to Grenada in the south.

The yacht is constructed of high-tech composite and offers exhilarating performance, achieving speeds that will raise eyebrows – 20 knots is not unusual. As a result, she is able to cover more ground than the average charter yacht, and enable guests to see more of the islands.

THE CREW

Over the past few years, Alan and Liz Weeks have established a well-deserved reputation as one of the finest yacht crews around and are highly respected throughout the industry.

Alan is originally from South Africa and, after a career in geological exploration, he managed a large construction company before finally returning to his first passion – sailing. Alan has been involved with the oceans since childhood – his father was a professional diver and passed a love of the seas to Alan. Since earning his Yacht Master’s Offshore Licence, he has logged tens of thousands of miles in the North and South Atlantic, the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and the Mediterranean and Caribbean seas. More than 15 years ago, he sailed into St Vincent and the Grenadines on his 40-foot sloop and, later, owned and chartered the well-known 47-foot catamaran “Duppy Conqueror” together with Elizabeth. He enjoys free diving, surfing, wake boarding and kite boarding. Although he has an adventurous spirit, the safety and comfort of guests is his primary concern.

Liz, your first mate and Chef/Hostess, was born in Jamaica and moved to South Florida as a teenager. She excelled as a professional cosmetologist and has a natural ability to pamper others with an artistic flair. Both Alan and Liz enjoy fine dining, so food on CERULEAN will be delicious and beautifully presented. Liz’s cuisine is diverse and international, having been developed through her extensive travels. Her other interests include exploring above and below the sea, as well as the tranquillity of photography and water-colour painting.

TESTIMONIALS (Just a few of very many…)

We are two of the Metzgen party just returned from the Duppy Conqueror. I'm sure they will reply as well, but we want to add our very warm appreciation of the holiday. All the arrangements went absolutely fine and the boat and its crew were beyond our wildest dreams.

The boat itself was comfortable, both sailing and when at anchor. But what made the experience extra special was the way that Alan and Liz looked after us. Liz is a wonderful cook and produced a succession of delicious meals which we wolfed down with great delight. They are both marvellous guides to the islands, the seas and the wildlife. Alan is a superb skipper who never motored when he could sail, never cut a corner when he could show us something better, and took us to isolated spots where we snorkelled, swam, walked and talked with enormous pleasure. He even conjured up a whale for us.

In short, they calculated exactly correctly where we wanted to go, what we wanted to see and do, and what we wanted to eat. We couldn't have been happier and can't wait to do the whole thing again.

Many thanks for your assistance in the arrangements; it was a wonderful experience.

With best wishes,

Lord & Lady Robert Gavron, London, UK (returning for their 4th charter with Alan and Liz in March 2010, this time aboard CERULEAN)

I know I speak for our group when I say that we were very impressed with the boat but especially with Alan and Liz for their professionalism, quality of food, attitude on and on and on. They are special people.

“We had a brilliant time - Alan and Liz are really lovely. They welcomed us aboard and were very professional and by the time we left we were all old friends and my husband is talking of booking his next trip!

Alan is so competent and knowledgeable that he puts every customer fully at ease and Liz ensures you don’t have to worry about a thing. It’s all so very relaxing. And the food was just wonderful. They really work to make their customers happy and it really was appreciated by us all. Liz even managed to satisfy Tom's eating requirements and that is a tough order for a growing lad of 6'2 and 240 lbs who is a fussy eater!

We paid around £ 30,000 (all included) for a family holiday at Sandy Lane Hotel in Barbados for nine days followed by paying around £ 6,000 (all included - even the champagne...) for nine days aboard the Duppy Conqueror- and we all preferred Duppy Conqueror - for service, for relaxation, for fun, for adventure. The whole experience was fantastic value for the money.”
