A stunning catamaran which comfortably accommodates eight guests, Soterion is tastefully decorated and styled throughout.

All towels and linens are of the finest quality and will be refreshed during the charter.
With a fully stocked toy cupboard, a charter on Soterion will keep even the most active guest entertained. As well as snorkelling equipment, there are two sea kayaks, water-skiis, a kneeboard, a wakeboard and an inflatable donut. Or if you prefer a slower pace of life, there are floating mattresses and fishing gear.
Soterion features state-of-the art entertainment systems and a comprehensive library of DVDs, CDs, books and games. In addition, WiFi is also available for guests? use.
The British Virgin Islands are a stunning collection of over 50 bays, cays, and anchorages. The water is warm, exquisitely clear and teeming with marine life. Mother Nature has blessed the topography of the islands creating a very protected cruising area, ideal for your sailing vacation. This, together with the constant tradewinds, provides smooth, scenic sailing that is perfect for both the seasoned sailor and the ?never-ever? alike.
A sailing vacation in the BVI on luxury catamaran Soterion will put a smile on your face and a flutter in your heart.

SOTERION Crew Profile
Captain Alexander (Sasha) Bouis began sailing in New York at the age of six. Graduating from MIT with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and the skills of a competitive sailor, he returned to Wall St. to develop analytic software. His quest for adventure drew him to travel throughout Europe, Siberia, and now to the Caribbean. As a result of this diverse background, Sasha speaks Russian, French, and Spanish, as well as a variety of obscure but essential computer languages. He's equipped to teach you the hottest new cocktail served in Manhattan or the skill of the ancient art of sailing. He is a licensed USCG Master Captain, certified ASA Sailing Instructor, and NAUI Divemaster.
Chef and First Mate Tara Bouis grew up on the lakes of Indiana.
With an affinity for water sports, she trained with world champions and become a competitive water skier. Graduating with a B.S. in Elementary Special Education, she joined a youth sailing and SCUBA camp in the BVI as their NAUI SCUBA instructor, head of fleet provisioning and charter chef. Tara continued her passion for the culinary arts as an apprentice of Scottie Mole, one of Indiana's top chefs. Tara knows the islands well, from the nearest market to the most secluded dive sites and is looking forward to impressing guests with her secret recipes on-board or with fascinating adventures underwater.
