SEA CHATEAU

Sea Chateau is a Voyage 50 Mayotte Catamaran. It was especially designed by famed Naval Architect Alexander Simonis for fast, comfortable, luxury charters. Its extra wide beam offers outstanding stability, safety and exceptional space in its four staterooms with queen beds and en suite heads, huge saloon, cockpit and decks. The beautiful gourmet upper level galley shares its large panoramic-view windows with the saloon and bar that form an exceptional airy and bright integrated entertainment area, where you, your family and friends will enjoy the vacation of a life time. And when it comes to having fun in the water, the large teak aft deck, and the two “sugar scoop” swim platforms with large s/s ladders and handrails make it extremely easy and safe for everyone to get in and out of the water and take part in all the fun. It also makes getting in and out of the dinghy a breeze. No stress, no worries, all fun and enjoyment.

Yow will swim in crystalline turquoise waters. You will snorkel into ancient caves and sunken pirate ships. You will sail to a different paradisiacal island every day. You will catch your trophy fish. You will take in the tropical sun through every pore of your body. You will enjoy delicious tropical drinks and gourmet meals. You will feel the warm and gentle trade winds combing through your hair. You will walk carelessly on miles of the most beautiful white sandy beaches. You will sleep under the stars. You will share and bond with family and friends like never before. You will sing, you will dance, you will laugh and you will play. But above all you will have the time of your life. On “Sea Chateau” it’s all about you and your enjoyment.

SEA CHATEAU Menu

All of our meals are prepared with the emphasis on fresh.

We take advantage of the ocean's bounty, the favorable spice trade, and check in with the 'coconut telegraph' to find the freshest ingredients for your dining pleasure.  Your individual custom menu might include some of the following Caribbean culinary delights aboard Sea Chateau. We guarantee you won't go hungry.??

Sunday’s start out with eggs benedict smothered with homemade hollandaise sauce accompanied with seasonal fruit and freshly squeezed orange juice or a refreshing mimosa.??

Monday’s marvel is grilled jumbo prawns with pineapple salsa, and a spinach, pine nut and avocado salad topped by and orange/sherry vinaigrette.??

Tuesday's treats tease the taste buds with homemade breakfast pastries in the morning, and the day ends with a traditional barbeque, grilling up either the fresh-caught fish of the day, or a fine cut of meat imported from the States.  And of course, a delightful bottle of red or white wine would be just the right thing to complete the evening's experience.??

Wednesday’s unveil a spectacular lunchtime lobster thermidor salad, imminently satisfying and keeping with the theme, may encourage an afternoon's snorkel.??

Thursday’s offer happy hour and appetizers after an island excursion complete with your choice of tropical drinks or Red Stripe beer, and an array of canapés, crudités, cheeses and dips. As Caribbean music wafts through the balmy air, the sun, seas and dinner is served al fresco on the bridge deck.??

Friday's feature has an Asian flair, with tempura fondue and hibachi skewers of a variety of fish, meats and vegetables.

Saturday's sensation is waking up to the aroma of baking as it permeates the boat. It's up to you to decide: is it bread, pastries, or cookies? As you walk into the galley, you might see the Chef stirring her mouth watering fudge.  The day's labors could possibly become the evening's garlic bread, or tomorrow's French toast.

"Dear Carlos and Maribel,



Thank you both so very much for the best family vacation!!

We all had an amazing time, from relaxing to dive gliding and

everything in between.

We always felt so at home and at ease on your beautiful yacht.

Every meal was beyond perfection, every day was filled with fun

and every evening lent itself to family bonding.

We just can't thank you enough and can't wait until our next vacation

“Carlos and Maribel,

Our vacation on Sea Chateau was more amazing than we could have imagined. Each day was filled with fun, adventure, relaxation and amazing food. We loved our trips to the different islands. The kids could not have had more to do each day. Whatever adventure they were up for, Carlos gladly obliged- knee boarding, dive gliding, fishing, tubing, kayaking, and fun on the beach- Endless fun. We have a few picky eaters and Maribel’s cooking may have changed that. They tried new things and enjoyed each meal and dessert!

Thank you for everything! We will have wonderful memories of time with you, and will be back for more!!

Meredith, David, Libby, Sam and Mathew.

“Maribel & Carlos,

When we first began planning this journey, back in New Jersey, we could never imagine the experience that would await us! From the first moment we stepped on to the “Sea Chateau” we knew we were in for the trip of a lifetime. Beginning with our first lunch, the unforgettable lasagna that my kids raved over, to every other meal, the attention to detail was incredible. Captain Carlos, who was always avid to drop the fishing line, & educate us on our journey, was fantastic. We will truly never forget the snorkeling, dive gliding, and all the other water sports that kept us endlessly entertained. But most of all, it was your kind hospitality, and making us feel so welcome aboard your home. Your guys are just the best & we will surely be back!!

Love,

Karen, Buddy, Amanda, Ryan and Libby.
