Not only does she provide an ideal environment for groups of up to 10 adults but she is equally well suited to a large family vacation or two families who wish to relax together.

Her guest accommodation comprises 5 double cabins, each with their own en-suite facilities, a huge saloon which includes a bar, indoor dining table and a writing / games desk.

The cabins and saloon are all air-conditioned and both master cabin and saloon benefit from TVs with video and DVD players for which a substantial library of films is available on board. The crew's quarters are accessed completely independently.

The wild beech interior is complemented by Felicia's owner's understated yet impeccably good taste. She is, in essence, a private yacht available to be shared with select guests.

The vast deck space includes sun-bathing mattresses, trampolines and two large stepped swim platforms. Each day your only priority will be to decide between sailing, swimming, snorkeling, waterskiing, windsurfing, wakeboarding . The pair of teak dining tables in the enormous cockpit provides the perfect base for al-fresco meals which are prepared and served by our professional yet charming crew.

In keeping with our philosophy for Felicia, our crew has been carefully selected for their professionalism delivered with true charm and integrity. Their infectious love of our yacht and the areas we visit will add immeasurably to your stay aboard.

The requirements of guests will always differ. Some will prefer a greater emphasis on watersports, others on secluded beaches and yet others on excursions ashore. Our constant theme, however, is that you will enjoy the freedom that no other holiday will match. Privacy and discretion are, of course, guaranteed.

During the months of December to April we cruise the Caribbean. Favorite areas of the British and U.S. Virgin Islands provide short passages between islands, often under 1 hour in length.

For those seeking to venture further afield the Leeward Islands from Antigua to St Martin provide fantastic variety, including the seclusion of Barbuda and Anguilla enhanced, perhaps, by a trip ashore on St Kitts or Nevis with the chance of combining a meal with a sighting of green-backed monkeys.

Further South the Windward Islands leading down to the Grenadines including such wonderful islands as St Lucia and Mustique and the stunningly beautiful Tobago Cays. You will lose your heart just as we have done!

Captain Tony, aged 29 and a native South African, is a life-long sailor who has been working in the yachting industry for over eight years. In that time he has sailed a variety of boats, from performance racing yachts to luxury cruising vessels. He has been to many of the world's major cruising areas, and will draw from his past experiences to ensure that you have the best possible time.

Tony enjoys all aspects of the sailing life; from seabirds and marine life, through to the more adventurous water sports. He is a keen diver and enjoys throwing a line or two at sunset. As well as ensuring that you have a good time, Tony will make your safety and comfort his top priority. In this way, he can be sure that you have a truly relaxing and memorable trip.

Chef / hostess Sally Luck, aged 27 from England started sailing a few years ago, when she met Tony in the Caribbean. After working with him during her holidays, she soon decided to leave her job as a children's book editor, and join Tony full time at sea.

Sally is passionate about cooking. Her dinner parties have been delighting friends and family for many years, and she is now enjoying transforming her talents into a professional service.

On board Felicia, you will find that she favors a modern Mediterranean and light Asian style of cooking. However, Sally herself enjoys a wide range of cuisine. She has participated in cookery courses in countries such as India and South Africa and will happily include such dishes in your menus.

Stewardess, Juliette, aged 24 from England, has had a number of shore-based jobs including working with horses and for the Civil Service in the UK. Having gained her Yachtmaster's qualification she pursued her new career afloat on board the 81' Swan Capercaillie. During her time aboard she enjoyed a trans-Atlantic crossing and a busy charter season in the Caribbean.

Her charm and attentiveness have impressed both guests and her colleagues and she is now a highly valued member of Felicia's team

Guest Comments:
Everyone and everything was perfect.

In brief, we had a grand time; everything was great. Tony and the crew were super hosts and hostesses and took very good care of us, trying all the time to make our trip as enjoyable as possible but in a very relaxed and unobtrusive way. Boy, was Sally's cooking superb as well - just out of this world 3 times a day.

Would I charter Felicia with Tony, Sally and crew again? Absolutely and likely will do just that someday soon.
