Yacht Charter: Luxury Under Sail
TopsideSancerre is a no-kidding, full-on yacht. She's rated to carry 10 adults. But we take no more than six passengers. So there is plenty of room to spread out. Suffice it to say, your party of six will not be crowded even if they ALL want to be in the cockpit or ALL want to spend time below. She's a big boat yet as fun to sail as my first catamaran.
Leave the driving to us
Or you drive. The crew will do as much or as little of the sailing as you like. You can learn a lot on a two day cruise and we're happy to teach you. If you prefer, stretch out and we'll make sure that the appropriate nibblies and beverages find their way to you.
Picture yourself hereDinner is complete and we settle in with brandy and Bailey's. The boat rides snuggly at anchor near Morse Point. The sun sets. It's just one of the stunning sights we routinely see. There are - more than occasionally - whales, dolphins and all sorts of sea birds. And the islands themselves are a continuous visual treat. Virtually uninhabited, it's like taking a 250 year step backward in history.
Main Salon/SaloonIn yachting circles, the main living area is known as the Main Saloon. Yeah, saloon. It's probably a British term and this side of the Atlantic it's usually 'nicified' to salon. You say salon; I say saloon. Either way, Sancerre is as spacious and beautiful below decks as she is topside
Owner's CabinCome sail with us for a day or two and we'll put you up in the owner's cabin. There's a Queen-sized berth and a private head and shower. Two large hatches and several smaller ones bring and light and air or they can be locked tight and you can draw the shades. It's a lot like home, but we owners - who usually end up sleeping in the guest cabins - think it's a bit more special. Imagine riding at anchor on a clear night looking straight up from your pillow and seeing a billion more stars than you can see at home. It's something like camping ... like camping at the Ritz. The Ritz with a sleep-in observatory. GalleyOur guests do not usually do the cooking and never the washing up. But here's the galley where that goes on. A four-burner stove, an oven, a freezer and separate refrigerator, sink and more counter space than any of us had in our first apartments. And Corian counters at that, which our wives tell us is the best (granite is too heavy for the boat) you can get.
We do a lot of our cruise cooking topside on our gas grill.
Either way we have room for 10. But we take only six.
We'll spoil you! We provide some very nice vintages, including Sancerre from the Loire region of France, and put together menus that you're sure to enjoy ... well, you should. You approve our plan before we shop.
It's YOUR cruiseIt's your schedule and your menu. You tell us when you want to get underway, when and where you want to anchor, what you want to eat. The sun, moon, tides and weather are on their own schedule. We can alter almost anything else to suit you.

And we most often have our meals topside. If it's too hot, we pull the Bimini up to shade us, and if it's inclement, we set up below.
