Rik and Ann Allen who will help you kick off your shoes as they welcome you aboard Sandcastle for a vacation of barefoot elegance. Their warm, easygoing manner will ease you into the island pace.

Rik, a US Coast Guard licensed captain, has been sailing for 16 years, logging many miles between the Caribbean and New England. For the last 8 years he has been chartering throughout the Caribbean. Rik grew up in the Northeast and attended Penn State where he received his business degree. He spent a number of years in Colorado as a ski instructor before settling in a warmer climate. Rik loves to windsurf and play chess, and will share with you his intimate knowledge of the islands - from quiet anchorages to dive sites, even local night spots.

Ann, a native of Ontario, Canada, holds a degree in Zoology but has traded the laboratory for the living ocean. She maintains a keen interest in marine life. An experienced charter chef and first mate, Ann takes pleasure in providing her guests with personalized comforts. Her menus reflect a wide range of dishes, both local and international, and she enjoys catering to your tastes.

Rik and Ann are both watersports enthusiasts, happy to give instruction in snorkeling, windsurfing, water-skiing or kneeboarding. They are trained in CPR and are certified open water divers. Join Rik and Ann for a relaxed carefree vacation you'll always remember.
