St. Thomas Catamaran Yacht Charter with Stellar Crew

St Thomas Catamaran Charter With Their New Stellar Crew

So when the owner of the St. Thomas catamaran charter yacht "Luar" called us last year for a reference for Rich Cassarino and Lisa Pratt, we shouted, "hire them yesterday"! Why? They are one of our TOP TEN favorite St. Thomas catamaran charter crews. We have not only had many repeat clients with them, we have also sailed with them as charter guests and hired them to assist us with our corporate groups. Some of you may remember them from their previous posts as crew on Priorities, Zingara, or Sabore.

They are a well-oiled machine that makes great charters happen without a fuss - they make it look easy. They treat Luar as though it is their own which means that it is spotless and meticulously maintained. They are kind, attentive, hard-working, and the epitome of professionalism. Clients fall in love with them. You will as well.

Lisa is witty, endearing, and always has a sparkle in her eye. They are both so even-keeled, so loving, so passionate about what they do for a living.

Rich is a culinary graduate of Johnson and Wales and owned an award-winning restaurant in Providence, RI trendy Italian district. He makes cooking look so easy. His food is varied, creative, and beautifully presented. When were onboard, he would present afternoon treats or early evening nibbles at just the right moment. He seems to have a sixth sense for people’s tastes and timing. You can count on fine dining with him. You have to try his ossu boco or filet mignon with stilton cheese and port wine sauce. You can count on him to serve the finest of ingredients.

A recent guest said it best, "the deliciousness for our bodies and the peacefulness for our minds was the perfect antidote to all of our busy lives! We will all treasure the continuous laughter and joy we experienced with incredible snorkeling, hikes, exploring all the different beaches (and bars). You both are truly gifted for making us feel so welcomed to your sea home. We can’t wait to come back".

St. Thomas Catamaran Charter Itinerary

This lovely 61-foot Privilege with a sun-splashed flybridge deck shimmers with comfort and joy. The master king cabin with a walk-around berth, seating area, desk and en-suite bath is bright and airy. Two additional king cabins with private baths and big showers complete the guest accommodations for six guests. Of course, with its bevy of toys, you won't be spending much time in the cabins. Luar has a full complement of water toys - water skis, 2 paddle boards, a wakeboard, 2-person kayak, fishing rods, snorkel gear, and of course. some floating mats for those lazy afternoons of sipping wine as you float off the beach.

$25,950/week for six guests during the regular season; this is an amazing value. With their fine wines and upgraded charter menu, we think this is the biggest bang for your buck on a six-person catamaran in the $25-30,000 range. Comparable sister ships are chartering for $4-5,000 more.
