Quest is a 57′ Simonis classic catamaran. She’s a smooth sailing yacht, a spacious live aboard, and an adventure waiting to happen. She’s both the journey & the destination. Quest is abundantly appointed with everything a tropics loving traveler could possibly require, including an accommodating Captain and Chef to take care of all your needs. Pricing is all inclusive but "half-boards" are available at a discount and that means some meals served aboard and others taken ashore.
While the boat easily sleeps 10, we offer 3 Queen staterooms as guest quarters to a maximum of 6 guests. This ensures a relaxed, spacious environment. Tandem charters are available for larger parties.
No shoes, no shirt necessary… no car, no phone, no alarm clock, no gym bag, no laptop, nothing. Just you, your friends / family and the Caribbean Sea. Don’t worry, the wind will take us there, it knows the way. The sun is shining, sails are full and paradise awaits just ahead.
Sleeps up to 6 guests in 3 cabins, served by a professional crew of 2.
Some people are just meant to live on or by the sea. There is an inner yearning that draws them there and that’s just how this partnership came together. Both grew up in the north east of the US and committed themselves to “responsible” careers for much of their early adult lives. Eventually, each answered the calling of the tropics with a decision to move to the Virgin Islands. There they finally met, joined forces, and decided to pledge the their lives to exploring the Caribbean, and sharing their happiness and zest-for-life with travelers from around the world.
Captain Chris was raised in upstate New York but spent his summers in St. Thomas living aboard his dad’s sailboat and exploring the islands. He broke his first sailing record at the age of 8 and never looked back. While sailing through the channel you’ll often see Chris point to the summit of some remote island and proclaim “I peaked that” and he did…. BAREFOOT.
Chris has spent the last 10 years living and working in the US and British Virgin Islands, on and off boats. He has chosen endeavors that impact the health and sustainability of our environment – installing alternate power sources in the Virgin Islands where resources are especially precious; and co-founding the Caribbean Lionfish Safari group in an effort to protect the reef from invasive species. His love and connection to the Islands comes though on every charter; guests know they are experiencing something very special aboard QUEST.
