Caribbean Cruising in Luxury Catamaran
UPDATED 20 April 2024.
Having crossed the Atlantic, then slowly cruised the Caribbean northwards from Grenada to the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, we are now cruising south again from St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands to Martinique.
My passages are for people who want to improve their sailing skills in a safe and sound vessel. I am not offering a sailing vacation charter, although fun is part of the reason I do this. You are committed to learning on the go, no seasickness, no medical issues, no vegans or special diet requirements or allergies to foods.
Longer term crew are preferred although short term crew (minimum of 14 days) will be considered.
Jalemar is a well equipped luxury Fountaine Pajot Elba45 sailing catamaran, Maestro owners version with 3 king-size shared cabins each with its own full en-suite, a well equipped chefs galley, 3 large separate outside socialising areas and a fully enclosed half-fly helm.

You are responsible for your own land costs, arranging your own visas in your passport, which is valid beyond 2024, and your own travel insurance. Maximum of 3 crew plus owner/captain, with 1 or 2 crew (same sex or couples) to each en-suite stateroom.
You are respectful trustworthy and honest, clean fit and agile with no medical issues. Strictly non-smoking non-vaping enthusiastic sailors with an easy positive and fun attitude welcome.

New Captain
Hello, While this new captain should feel proud for taking on the challenge of sailing a large catamaran and her intentions are good, expect a fair amount of stress and ill will aboard when situations are less than ideal. In years to come, imagine this will get worked out.
