The crew of Charter Yacht Tachyon returns for 2009!

Eric & Jacque Stahl send their greetings from the sunny Virgin Islands and want to let the world know that they've decided that they'll be taking the helm of their crewed charter yacht Tachyon for yet another season. This fantastic duo just reopened their calendar from September 1, 2008 through May 1, 2009 in the Virgin Islands.

Eric & Jacque are looking forward to another busy season and, as always, will continue to do their very best to ensure that charter guests aboard their yacht will continue to have a "WONDERFUL" sailing vacation. To date, they have a 100% customer satisfaction rate aboard Catamaran Tachyon and they intend to keep it!

Captain Eric has taught and coached hundreds of students of various abilities. His resume speaks for itself, and you can rest assured that you’ll be aboard a yacht with a true sailor and excellent sailing instructor. Chef Jacque is an accomplished chef who trained at the famed L’Academie De Cuisine in Washington DC. Like Eric, she loves to fish, and it makes her day to be able to fillet a ‘catch of the day’ off the back of the boat and prepare a sushi appetizer and grilled fish dinner for her guests—it simply doesn’t get any better than that!

Join Eric & Jacque for a yacht charter aboard Catamaran Tachyon - and be prepared to have an unforgettable and ideal sailing vacation experience in the Virgin Islands!

One recent charter guest wrote: "Upon arrival, we were quickly put at ease with their friendly enthusiasm and charm. Vince's sailing abilities were assured and confident, his ability to explain sailing technique to our group was very interesting and appreciated. June was so much a hostess that we miss her today! All of her menus were well balanced, bursting with flavor and so well presented that we photographed every meal! For such recent transplants to the BVIs, June and Vince's knowledge of the islands took us to several locations we had not visited or heard of. I was most impressed with their curiosity for discovering the many secrets of the BVIs.

Charter Yacht Aloha Malolo heads to the San Blas Islands!

The accessible, yet rarely visited San Blas islands are located 50 miles east of the Panama canal on the Caribbean side of mainland Panama. This tropical setting includes unspoiled and palm-fringed islands, crystal clear waters, plus an intriguing culture. The fact that only one Caribbean based charter yacht is headed to a destination with over 365 islands creates a unique charter opportunity.

The Virgin Island based charter yacht, Aloha Malolo, and her adventurous crew of Eric and Evelin, are headed to the San Blas this summer. They will be available for yacht charters in this area from August through mid October. Aloha Malolo is a custom built and very unique 65 foot slooop. Her interior is open, spacious, and full of warm character. Simple, yet comfortable accommodations include three guest cabins with queen size berths.

Captain Eric has been sailing on Aloha Malolo for the last eight years, has sailed the San Blas Islands three times, and looks forward to sharing his adventurous spirit and wanderlust with his guests. Raised in the Caribbean, Chef Evelin grew up eagerly anticipating her Uncle's adventure stories upon his return home from charters in the San Blas. With a degree in hotel administration and emphasis on gourmet cooking, Evelin has the natural knack of making anyone aboard Aloha Malolo feel instantly welcome.
