Well, today you can!!! Live your dream aboard this beautifully appointed, performance cruising sailboat, luxurious, fully equipped and ready to sail way…RIGHT NOW!
Captain Chris and First Mate/Chef Julie purchased this fast sea-worthy cruising vessel in 1998. They immediately began a refit of the sailboat and launched s/v Blu Moon into the Caribbean charter fleet that year. What an adventure they have enjoyed while discovering the life of owning a charter yacht business in the Caribbean.
I first met Chris and Julie at the Virgin Island Charter League Boat Show at Yacht Haven Grande in St. Thomas. The VLCL have
hosts the charter yacht fleet each year to St. Thomas for the charter yacht Brokers to check them out and see which ones they want to promote to their customers back in the States. If you recall, last year I did the internet reporting for the VICL 33rd Annual Boat Show. At last year’s show I was rushing by s/v Blu Moon and immediately stopped dead in my tracks when I saw Chris and Julie rocking in the hammock attached to their mast. I am so glad I stopped to say hello. What has evolved is fun friendship with two top professionals in the charter industry.
They have owned and operated their charter yacht business for over eleven years and have been married for 
almost 25 years. They met in Kansas and the story is too long to tell as to how they ended up in the Caribbean. What was most interesting to me was their favorite chartering area is the Spanish Virgin Islands. I have seen Spanish Virgin from the air when flying to the Caribbean from San Juan, Puerto Rico, but I have never actually sailed around them. The stories that unfolded let me know I have missed a very special part of the Caribbean the last 40 years. And, the experiences they shared happened with their eyes gleaming and big smiles on their faces. They are passionate about the unspoiled beauty and very laid back style of the Spanish Virgins.
So, why are they selling s/v Blu Moon? Because they have purchased a 65′ Privilege catamaran - s/v Felicia, and are sailing up from Trinidad right now so it can be in the VICL Boat Show next week in St. Thomas. My last correspondence from them let me know they are doing the upgrades to s/v Felicia while under sail. They did report they had there first Caribbean swim when they anchored at Bequia in the Grenadines. They are just about complete with all of the refitting, including a new galley. From what they told me last week s/v Felicia will be in sparkling condition for the St. Thomas Show which starts next Tuesday. I have been on s/v Blu Moon several times, and since Chris and Julie purchased it in 1998 they
have consistently been improving her design, capabilities and comfort. Their custom changes and upgrades are valued in excess of $100,000, optimizing this vessel for Caribbean cruising and beyond. It is ready to enter the Charter Fleet today, or to take you anywhere you want in the world!
