Share the love of the sea

80 ft Ocean Schooner

This modern yacht with experienced sailors, will provide a vacation sure to please the most discerning charterer. New masts were stepped in 2002 and Eliza is sailing faster and smoother.

Eliza is a self-sufficient sailing vessel capable of trans-Atlantic crossings, so she can meet you almost anywhere in the Caribbean. You have the option of a roundtrip voyage to nearby islands, or a one-way sail to farther shores, returning home from a different port.

You can spend a week exploring islands of French, Dutch, or Spanish ancestry where the local residents still out-number the tourists all year long. You can go from harbors that are virtually deserted to ones that are full of life, from casinos and sophisticated nightlife to sleepy little villages that come alive after dark.

Sometimes you may feel like being hardy sailors, who love the feel of a sleek yacht under full sail. Other times are lazily lying in a hammock, reading, or working on a tan. You can sunbathe on the deck or people-watch on a pure white, palm-lined beach. You may want to spend some time playing with Eliza’s selection of water toys.

If you have spent any time aboard a small sailboat you may be concerned about ventilation.  There is a fine line between warm tropical days and uncomfortably hot accommodations.  Eliza is fully air-conditioned.  In her refitting, Eliza also had dorade vents installed in each stateroom to capture even the lightest breezes.
