Iate privado REMEDY

I got the sailing bug while in college in Boston from a newspaper article about a young couple who bought a distressed sailboat and were going to sail it to the Bahamas, and all the exotic places they planned to visit. It sounded like a wonderful life.

I bought my first 38′ Morgan sailboat in ’77 and sailed to Florida and the Bahamas in ’78.

I became a professional Captain with a 100 ton USCG Masters license in 1982 while in St. Thomas so I could take out guests on my (by that time) 50′ Gulfstar ketch “Desperado”.

In 1986 I sold my boat and moved to land. I regretted it almost immediately. Life changed again for me when I met Lisa. I was living in the Northeast building houses and I was bored and tired of the weather. Lisa wanted to live where there were palm trees and she had cooking experience. I showed her my photo album of the sunny Virgin Island palm tree lined beachese during a New England blizzard. It didn’t take long to come up with a plan. We would buy a boat and charter again someplace with palm trees… the Virgin Islands!

We were married in ’89, the same year we bought a beautiful 52′ Ron Holland design sloop and named her “Renegade”. After a year in Florida and the Bahamas, we sailed to the Virgin Islands and began chartering. Since then, we have owned and chartered a 60′ Nautical Sailboat “Southern Comfort”, an 80′ Hatteras Motor Yacht “Obsession”, an 80′ Azimut Motor Yacht “Runaway”, a 62′ Lagoon Sailing Catamaran “Eclipse”, and now “Remedy” a 58′ Fountaine Pajot Sailing Catamaran.
