Why Book a Crewed Yacht Charter Vacation in the Virgin Islands Aboard New Catamaran Eclipse?

ECLIPSE - 62' 2016 Lagoon Catamaran Charter

Guests: up to 8 | Crew: 3 | Guest Cabins: 4 | Guest Showers: 4 

The YachtCharters.Guru team just booked newly built catamaran ECLIPSE for a wonderful repeat client! Lagoon catamarans have cornered the market when it comes to crewed yacht charters and ECLIPSE is a stunning example. This 2016 62 ft luxury sailing catamaran meets guests in either the USVI or BVI.  Eclipse has four ensuite guest cabins with queen-sized beds & would be a great choice for four couples, one family or perfect for two families of four. Why book Eclipse? The Crew! We feel the fleet of crewed yachts have become very similar over the past few years, so what sets one above the other is often the crew. Capt. Jack, First Mate Jaimey & Chef Melissa offer the following: "Aboard ECLIPSE we provide a unique experience unlike any other vessel. We will cater to the guests' individual needs. One night you might find yourself wanting to dance the night away at the Bitter End Yacht Club and the next night you may want to layout on the trampoline without another boat in sight. We will take you to the best beaches, the best snorkeling spots and even the best gift shops! It's your week, you tell us where you want to go and we will make it happen!"

Captain Jack & Mate Jaimey are joined by Mel, your chef onboard Eclipse!

Mel has always had a passion with food…be it eating or making it. After graduating from Indiana University with a Bachelor’s degree she had little interest in pursuing, she earned her Culinary Arts degree from the Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School in Chicago. It was there that Mel was able to turn her passion into a career. After a few Chicago winters, however, she was ready to trade in her snow boots for flip flops, and that’s just what she did. Even more fortuitous, she was able to find a venue in which to channel her love of cooking in the Caribbean: cooking on charter yachts.

Mel enjoys cooking just about everything! She has a deep appreciation for all cuisines; be it comfort food from her own Midwest roots, to international zest, to healthy and light. Mel’s favorite way to cook is to take something “ordinary” and add a special flair to make it stand out from the norm. 

Mel also enjoys sharing her passion with others. During her time working on boats she has written and published a cookbook, created an online support forum for yacht chefs (currently with over 200 members), and most recently founded Island Eats Culinary Adventures; an interactive cooking experience designed to teach others the fundamentals of cooking. Cooking has always been something she loves and is thrilled at being able to explore that passion in multiple venues.

Of course, working on a boat in the islands would not be as fun if she didn’t enjoy the activities! Mel loves

scuba diving, snorkeling, waterskiing, and just floating in the water. Her personal interests include hiking, running, yoga, writing, exploring new horizons, watching movies, doing crossword puzzles, photography and meeting new people.

Mel looks forward to meeting you soon and showing you what she enjoys doing most: cooking delicious meals for others!
