Captain: Ed Irwin
Capt. Ed Irwin
Born in Newfoundland, Canada, I spent as much time as I could outdoors, fishing the streams for trout and getting lost in the woods. As a small boy, I would drive my mother crazy by wandering off, only to return home with pockets full of fish I caught or birds and small animals I captured, which I wanted to keep as pets.
I have enjoyed backcountry camping, hiking, and canoeing throughout my life. The Boundary Waters lakes and portages are among my favorite places to explore. Riding my motorcycle, lightly packed for discovering remote fly-fishing streams, without a set destination, is my perfect getaway.
I grew up on the small lakes of Northern Illinois, often driving to school in my small motorboat. The first time I was on a sailboat, I instantly fell in love with the simple act of the wind carrying my boat anywhere.
After sailing Lake Michigan for many years, Erin and I devised a plan to set off on our own boat and sail to as many places around the world as we could. We found an abandoned Cape Dory 36, rebuilt it, and outfitted it for long-distance travel. Years of hard work paid off with a beautifully restored and perfectly outfitted classic sailboat that allowed us to live out our sailing dreams.
We have sailed and lived aboard our boat since 2018. In that time, we’ve sailed the Great Lakes, the Chesapeake, and offshore from Norfolk around Bermuda to the Caribbean at least six times. During hurricane season, we sailed north to Maine, enjoying the "down east" summer, before heading back down the eastern seaboard and offshore to the Caribbean once again. At the end of 2023, we flew to the Mediterranean, picked up the Bali 5.4 “Permabear,” and sailed through the Med to Las Palmas before crossing the Atlantic to the Caribbean. After around 30,000 nautical miles of sailing, we still love every moment.
For the past three years, we have been chartering in the Virgin Islands, both the US and BVI, exploring, discovering amazing coves and anchorages, becoming PADI scuba certified, and learning why so many say that once you reach the Caribbean, you don’t want to leave. Our guests often comment on how safe they feel aboard our boat, knowing I am always alert and cautious. We ensure that we create the most comfortable and enjoyable trip on the water for everyone aboard. I look forward to showing guests why the Caribbean truly is a sailing paradise.
Chef Erin Irwin
My childhood was spent on boats in our summer town of Saugatuck, MI. I loved everything about being on the water and was always the first and last one to jump in, no matter the temperature! I began sailing as a teenager and am seriously addicted to the magic of wind and water.
As the oldest daughter of a big family, and the mother of five kids, I was always at the center of planning family gatherings and parties. I love finding unique themes and creating relaxed, special moments and memories together. Ed and I have found the outdoors, especially sailing, to be the perfect setting for connecting with each other and something bigger. It has always been the best stage for us to find joy, peace, adventure, and excitement, and we want to share that.
I have been baking and cooking since I was a child, and it has always been a joy to create a meal. When cooking for my family, I wanted them to have a healthy diet. Most of our meals were whole foods from our garden, cooked from scratch. My cooking style emphasizes a healthy balance of Mediterranean foods, Asian cuisines, and comfort foods that are adapted to be healthy but still rich in flavor. Having spent a good portion of my life in Chicago, I’ve become an obsessive foodie, constantly searching for the perfect meal at the perfect restaurant. This endless quest has taught me so much about the experience of eating well.
We work hard to make the experience of coming aboard seamless. From the moment guests make their booking, we stay in touch to tailor their vacation to exactly what they imagine. From the food and the itinerary to even having the perfect sunblock, big straw hats, and beautiful beach gear — we want our guests to just bring a small bag and let go.
We especially look forward to helping families find that elusive real time together. There’s just nothing like being on a sailboat to make everything else fade away and allow you to connect with the people you love. We can’t wait to help others find that perfect spot — that perfect moment that becomes a memory that lasts forever.
3rd Mate Gus
Very Friendly Onboard Dog
Meet Gus, our adventurous Cairn Terrier and seasoned sailor with over 30,000 nautical miles under his belt! Gus is not just any yacht dog; he's a true seafaring companion with a story that includes befriending a mother dolphin and her baby in Long Bay, as well as making turtle friends who swim up to the boat just to see him. He's also an expert paddleboarding companion.
With a love for kids and hair instead of fur (making him hypoallergenic!), Gus is the perfect family-friendly crew member, known for his quiet and well-behaved nature. Despite his loyalty, Gus loves to snuggle and will always find a way to convince you to give him a moment to prove why dogs are amazing!
Gus has plenty of friends ashore if you choose not to vacation with him.

Reviews
The charter started with a friendly welcome at noon on a Sunday at the Marina Yacht Heaven Grande in Saint Thomas, and it just got better with every passing day. Our initial idea to visit some of the best places in the Caribbean while living in a boat was elevated to an unforgettable vacation by a great boat captain (Ed) and superb chef (Erin), who treated us as like family.
While on board, were enjoyed fresh and delicious multi-course meals prepared daily by the chef, who would narrate how she prepared them. I believe was better than a restaurant.
Boat life was exceptional abord the Permabear, with every need cared for 24/7 by the experienced captain and his wife (the chef) in this friendly and relaxed environment, where we lived at own pace. Daily activities started or ended whenever we felt hungry or tired. We never felt hurried.
We spent the nights on board safely and comfortably in air-conditioned cabins at carefully selected bays by the captain to be protected from ocean winds and with minimal boat rocking from sea waves.
The breath of marine life in the reefs was spectacular, snorkeling at wrekeage of the RMS Rhone was almost unbelievable, visiting the beautiful natural salt water tidal pools at The Baths was awsome, dinner at the world famous (and newly renovated after hurricane Irma) Saba Rock restaurant was a worferful treat, and visiting the iconic Soggy Dollar bar and store at White bay beach in Jost van Dyke was picture-perfect.
By the end of the week you may want this to become your new home and life.
Thanks to Ed and Erin for a wonderful week aboard the Permabear. You took time to share bits of your life with us and taught us a lot about this part of the world.
We return home with great memories from this vacation wishing to return and have this much fun again.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY. YOU ARE A HUGE REASON THAT WE HAD A GREAT TRIP. ED MADE RUNNING THE BOAT LOOK EASY. ERIN DID A WONDERFUL JOB IN THE KITCHEN. RHONDA & I ARE GRATEFUL TO YOU BOTH FOR MAKING WILSON'S 40TH PARTY SO MEMORABLE.
TIGHT LINES,
RHONDA + COREY SCHULTZ
I wanted to reach out and let you know what an amazing trip we had aboard Katrina. Erin and Ed were so friendly and welcoming from the beginning! We had the best vacation with them! Erin is an amazing chef and put so much care into making sure everyone is well fed with fresh healthy food! My 3 adolescents are tough in that one has a gluten allergy and one is vegetarian and the youngest is still growing 15 year old needing extra food often! (We appreciated that She had a basket of snacks refilled and readily available while Ed kept the cooler iced and stocked with everyone’s favorite drinks).
The dinners were gourmet 3-4 courses and we enjoyed them so much that we requested many of the recipes so we could try to replicate them at home.
Erin also took such pleasure and has a true artistic flare to presenting the food and decorating the table with different table settings each day! We looked forward to her daily theme! We also looked forward to the drink of the day! Which was often accompanied by an afternoon charcuterie board. The local flowers that were adorning the boat enhanced the welcome atmosphere from the beginning.
Ed was such a safe and watchful captain, keeping an eye on everyone as they boarded the boat and snorkeled each day to ensure safety. He was also very aware and protective of my dad who is in his 70’s and loves to snorkel! He was quick to pull out the pool toys (noodles, paddle boards, splash pad and snorkeling gear) at every destination and we enjoyed all of it. They know the area well and directed us to the best snorkeling locations, were well equipped with reef safe sunblock, and also transported us ashore for some great hikes and even a beach day with a sun tent. We were comforted by Erin’s nursing background in taking this multigenerational family trip and felt safe in their very capable experienced hands with the threat of a storm early in the week!
Our family loves playing games and did so daily and there were plenty to choose from aboard the boat.
I should mention a few problems that they handled for us. The first night before we even left the yachting harbour, I dropped my flip flop in between the boat and the dock and ED was so quick on his belly to grab it- I was impressed! My 15 year old son dropped his air pods in a crack next to his bed and they ended up falling in the bilge!!!!!! We tried to stop both Erin and Ed from taking apart the room but they did so anyway after we disembarked and met us in Charlotte Amelie to deliver the saved AirPods!!
This truly was the best vacation we have ever gone on and we are already trying to find another week to sail with Erin and Ed!
We are experienced sailors but have never taken this sort of trip
Before and realized quickly how crucial a good crew is to the success if the trip.
We have been coming on this trip since 1991, sailing et al. This trip by far exceeds all previous sailing journeys we have experienced. Everything fired on all cylinders. From the awesome crew to the leisure, attention to detail, and wisdom of the team. Bar none every day was better than the previous. We have never chartered through a broker. [broker name] paired us with {management company] which included Ed and Erin. [Broker name] described the crew to a T and was attentive and dependable through the entire trip. We have to give a shout out to having a fabulous intelligent nurse onboard which provided security which provided help for everyone from seasickness and bands for relief to advice regarding other needs. Erin was and is nurse extraordinaire! Don't miss Leverick Bay for a fun night of pirate entertainment. ON this trip we saw and witnessed places and things we had never encountered previously.thanks to their advice and guidance. Captain Ed is the master of the sea navigating with speed and agility. Erin looks up to him in awe 'cause he is the leader we all adore. Erin is the culinary queen, her dishes are a sight to be seen. Her flavors are bold and full of life. A true artist with a kitchen knife. We're coming back forever and only with Ed & Erin @ the helm Love it! a little bit of heaven,
Sandra, Bruce, Amy, Dane, Danie,& Ken
You make a great team on SV Katrina. This made our week long trip amazing. Everything from the details and flexibility of our itinerary to the delicious food prepared and presented onboard, to your expertise and knowledge on the water, to your openness and respect for allowing us to have our naked cruise and truly feel comfortable, you provided us an experience that we will not soon forget.
SV Katrina herself is a beautiful, well-kept vessel with plenty of well thought out spaces for relaxation. Her owner should be very pleased with how you care for her. We thank you both so very much for making our first time in the BVI's very special.

- wpcf_crew: a:16:{s:4:"info";s:5606:"Capt. Ed Irwin<br /> Born in Newfoundland, Canada, I spent as much time as I could outdoors, fishing the streams for trout and getting lost in the woods. As a small boy, I would drive my mother crazy by wandering off, only to return home with pockets full of fish I caught or birds and small animals I captured, which I wanted to keep as pets.<br /> <br /> I have enjoyed backcountry camping, hiking, and canoeing throughout my life. The Boundary Waters lakes and portages are among my favorite places to explore. Riding my motorcycle, lightly packed for discovering remote fly-fishing streams, without a set destination, is my perfect getaway.<br /> <br /> I grew up on the small lakes of Northern Illinois, often driving to school in my small motorboat. The first time I was on a sailboat, I instantly fell in love with the simple act of the wind carrying my boat anywhere.<br /> <br /> After sailing Lake Michigan for many years, Erin and I devised a plan to set off on our own boat and sail to as many places around the world as we could. We found an abandoned Cape Dory 36, rebuilt it, and outfitted it for long-distance travel. Years of hard work paid off with a beautifully restored and perfectly outfitted classic sailboat that allowed us to live out our sailing dreams.<br /> <br /> We have sailed and lived aboard our boat since 2018. In that time, we’ve sailed the Great Lakes, the Chesapeake, and offshore from Norfolk around Bermuda to the Caribbean at least six times. During hurricane season, we sailed north to Maine, enjoying the "down east" summer, before heading back down the eastern seaboard and offshore to the Caribbean once again. At the end of 2023, we flew to the Mediterranean, picked up the Bali 5.4 “Permabear,” and sailed through the Med to Las Palmas before crossing the Atlantic to the Caribbean. After around 30,000 nautical miles of sailing, we still love every moment.<br /> <br /> For the past three years, we have been chartering in the Virgin Islands, both the US and BVI, exploring, discovering amazing coves and anchorages, becoming PADI scuba certified, and learning why so many say that once you reach the Caribbean, you don’t want to leave. Our guests often comment on how safe they feel aboard our boat, knowing I am always alert and cautious. We ensure that we create the most comfortable and enjoyable trip on the water for everyone aboard. I look forward to showing guests why the Caribbean truly is a sailing paradise.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chef Erin Irwin<br /> My childhood was spent on boats in our summer town of Saugatuck, MI. I loved everything about being on the water and was always the first and last one to jump in, no matter the temperature! I began sailing as a teenager and am seriously addicted to the magic of wind and water.<br /> <br /> As the oldest daughter of a big family, and the mother of five kids, I was always at the center of planning family gatherings and parties. I love finding unique themes and creating relaxed, special moments and memories together. Ed and I have found the outdoors, especially sailing, to be the perfect setting for connecting with each other and something bigger. It has always been the best stage for us to find joy, peace, adventure, and excitement, and we want to share that.<br /> <br /> I have been baking and cooking since I was a child, and it has always been a joy to create a meal. When cooking for my family, I wanted them to have a healthy diet. Most of our meals were whole foods from our garden, cooked from scratch. My cooking style emphasizes a healthy balance of Mediterranean foods, Asian cuisines, and comfort foods that are adapted to be healthy but still rich in flavor. Having spent a good portion of my life in Chicago, I’ve become an obsessive foodie, constantly searching for the perfect meal at the perfect restaurant. This endless quest has taught me so much about the experience of eating well.<br /> <br /> We work hard to make the experience of coming aboard seamless. From the moment guests make their booking, we stay in touch to tailor their vacation to exactly what they imagine. From the food and the itinerary to even having the perfect sunblock, big straw hats, and beautiful beach gear — we want our guests to just bring a small bag and let go.<br /> <br /> We especially look forward to helping families find that elusive real time together. There’s just nothing like being on a sailboat to make everything else fade away and allow you to connect with the people you love. We can’t wait to help others find that perfect spot — that perfect moment that becomes a memory that lasts forever.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 3rd Mate Gus<br /> Very Friendly Onboard Dog<br /> Meet Gus, our adventurous Cairn Terrier and seasoned sailor with over 30,000 nautical miles under his belt! Gus is not just any yacht dog; he's a true seafaring companion with a story that includes befriending a mother dolphin and her baby in Long Bay, as well as making turtle friends who swim up to the boat just to see him. He's also an expert paddleboarding companion.<br /> <br /> With a love for kids and hair instead of fur (making him hypoallergenic!), Gus is the perfect family-friendly crew member, known for his quiet and well-behaved nature. Despite his loyalty, Gus loves to snuggle and will always find a way to convince you to give him a moment to prove why dogs are amazing!<br /> <br /> Gus has plenty of friends ashore if you choose not to vacation with him.";s:5:"photo";s:81:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht8535/8535brochure44.jpg";s:4:"size";s:1:"2";s:12:"captain_name";s:8:"Ed Irwin";s:14:"captain_nation";s:2:"US";s:12:"captain_born";s:1:"0";s:15:"captain_license";s:0:"";s:18:"captain_yr_sailing";s:1:"0";s:21:"captain_yr_chartering";s:1:"0";s:17:"captain_languages";s:0:"";s:9:"crew_name";s:10:"Erin Irwin";s:16:"crew_nationality";s:2:"US";s:12:"crew_license";s:0:"";s:15:"crew_yr_sailing";s:1:"0";s:18:"crew_yr_chartering";s:1:"0";s:7:"crewimg";a:3:{i:1;a:2:{s:3:"url";s:76:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht8535/8535crew1.jpg";s:4:"desc";s:7:"Captain";}i:2;a:2:{s:3:"url";s:76:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht8535/8535crew2.jpg";s:4:"desc";s:15:"Chef/First Mate";}i:3;a:2:{s:3:"url";s:76:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht8535/8535crew3.jpg";s:4:"desc";s:30:"3rd Mate- Onboard Friendly Dog";}}}

As you make your way up to the flybridge you’ll be blown away by the amazing turquoise water with 360° views and enjoy the up-close view of the sails. It’s also a great place to read your favorite book or a favorite spot for appetizers and cocktails at sundown. The main salon is comfortable and luxurious with open spaces and natural light fed by all the windows surrounding you.

As you step on board in to a beautifully appointed cockpit, complete with teak floors and dining table for ten and a comfortable lounging bench, you immediately realize what a unique charter experience you are about to have. As you make your way up to the flybridge you’ll be blown away by the amazing turquoise water with 360° views and enjoy the up-close view of the sails. It’s also a great place to read your favorite book or a favorite spot for appetizers and cocktails at sundown. The main salon is comfortable and luxurious with open spaces and natural light fed by all the windows surrounding you. All five guest cabins are spacious with large windows and offer plenty of natural light.

Ed Irwin<br /> Born in Newfoundland, Canada, I spent as much time as I could outdoors, fishing the streams for trout and getting lost in the woods. As a small boy, I would drive my mother crazy by wandering off, only to return home with pockets full of fish I caught or birds and small animals I captured, which I wanted to keep as pets.<br /> <br /> I have enjoyed backcountry camping, hiking, and canoeing throughout my life. The Boundary Waters lakes and portages are among my favorite places to explore. Riding my motorcycle, lightly packed for discovering remote fly-fishing streams, without a set destination, is my perfect getaway.<br /> <br /> I grew up on the small lakes of Northern Illinois, often driving to school in my small motorboat. The first time I was on a sailboat, I instantly fell in love with the simple act of the wind carrying my boat anywhere.<br /> <br /> After sailing Lake Michigan for many years, Erin and I devised a plan to set off on our own boat and sail to as many places around the world as we could. We found an abandoned Cape Dory 36, rebuilt it, and outfitted it for long-distance travel. Years of hard work paid off with a beautifully restored and perfectly outfitted classic sailboat that allowed us to live out our sailing dreams.<br /> <br /> We have sailed and lived aboard our boat since 2018. In that time, we’ve sailed the Great Lakes, the Chesapeake, and offshore from Norfolk around Bermuda to the Caribbean at least six times. During hurricane season, we sailed north to Maine, enjoying the "down east" summer, before heading back down the eastern seaboard and offshore to the Caribbean once again. At the end of 2023, we flew to the Mediterranean, picked up the Bali 5.4 “Permabear,” and sailed through the Med to Las Palmas before crossing the Atlantic to the Caribbean. After around 30,000 nautical miles of sailing, we still love every moment.<br /> <br /> For the past three years, we have been chartering in the Virgin Islands, both the US and BVI, exploring, discovering amazing coves and anchorages, becoming PADI scuba certified, and learning why so many say that once you reach the Caribbean, you don’t want to leave. Our guests often comment on how safe they feel aboard our boat, knowing I am always alert and cautious. We ensure that we create the most comfortable and enjoyable trip on the water for everyone aboard. I look forward to showing guests why the Caribbean truly is a sailing paradise.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chef Erin Irwin<br /> My childhood was spent on boats in our summer town of Saugatuck, MI. I loved everything about being on the water and was always the first and last one to jump in, no matter the temperature! I began sailing as a teenager and am seriously addicted to the magic of wind and water.<br /> <br /> As the oldest daughter of a big family, and the mother of five kids, I was always at the center of planning family gatherings and parties. I love finding unique themes and creating relaxed, special moments and memories together. Ed and I have found the outdoors, especially sailing, to be the perfect setting for connecting with each other and something bigger. It has always been the best stage for us to find joy, peace, adventure, and excitement, and we want to share that.<br /> <br /> I have been baking and cooking since I was a child, and it has always been a joy to create a meal. When cooking for my family, I wanted them to have a healthy diet. Most of our meals were whole foods from our garden, cooked from scratch. My cooking style emphasizes a healthy balance of Mediterranean foods, Asian cuisines, and comfort foods that are adapted to be healthy but still rich in flavor. Having spent a good portion of my life in Chicago, I’ve become an obsessive foodie, constantly searching for the perfect meal at the perfect restaurant. This endless quest has taught me so much about the experience of eating well.<br /> <br /> We work hard to make the experience of coming aboard seamless. From the moment guests make their booking, we stay in touch to tailor their vacation to exactly what they imagine. From the food and the itinerary to even having the perfect sunblock, big straw hats, and beautiful beach gear — we want our guests to just bring a small bag and let go.<br /> <br /> We especially look forward to helping families find that elusive real time together. There’s just nothing like being on a sailboat to make everything else fade away and allow you to connect with the people you love. We can’t wait to help others find that perfect spot — that perfect moment that becomes a memory that lasts forever.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 3rd Mate Gus<br /> Very Friendly Onboard Dog<br /> Meet Gus, our adventurous Cairn Terrier and seasoned sailor with over 30,000 nautical miles under his belt! Gus is not just any yacht dog; he's a true seafaring companion with a story that includes befriending a mother dolphin and her baby in Long Bay, as well as making turtle friends who swim up to the boat just to see him. He's also an expert paddleboarding companion.<br /> <br /> With a love for kids and hair instead of fur (making him hypoallergenic!), Gus is the perfect family-friendly crew member, known for his quiet and well-behaved nature. Despite his loyalty, Gus loves to snuggle and will always find a way to convince you to give him a moment to prove why dogs are amazing!<br /> <br /> Gus has plenty of friends ashore if you choose not to vacation with him.";s:14:"yachtCrewPhoto";s:81:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht8535/8535brochure44.jpg";s:13:"yachtCrew1Pic";s:76:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht8535/8535crew1.jpg";s:13:"yachtCrew2Pic";s:76:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht8535/8535crew2.jpg";s:13:"yachtCrew3Pic";s:76:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht8535/8535crew3.jpg";s:13:"yachtCrew4Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew5Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew6Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew7Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew8Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew9Pic";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew10Pic";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew1Name";s:8:"Ed Irwin";s:14:"yachtCrew2Name";s:10:"Erin Irwin";s:14:"yachtCrew3Name";s:3:"Gus";s:14:"yachtCrew4Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew5Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew6Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew7Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew8Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew9Name";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew10Name";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew1Title";s:7:"Captain";s:15:"yachtCrew2Title";s:15:"Chef/First Mate";s:15:"yachtCrew3Title";s:30:"3rd Mate- Onboard Friendly Dog";s:15:"yachtCrew4Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew5Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew6Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew7Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew8Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew9Title";s:0:"";s:16:"yachtCrew10Title";s:0:"";s:9:"yachtFlag";s:2:"US";s:13:"yachtHomePort";s:3:"BVI";s:14:"yachtWBasePort";s:3:"BVI";s:8:"yachtRig";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtGrossTons";s:0:"";s:12:"yachtAcNight";s:3:"Yes";s:16:"yachtAcSurCharge";s:2:"No";s:9:"yachtTubs";s:1:"0";s:20:"yachtLocationDetails";s:0:"";s:10:"yachtTerms";s:15:"Caribbean Terms";s:13:"yachtCaptOnly";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtSpecialCon";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtContracts";s:0:"";s:21:"yachtConsumptionUnits";s:10:"US Gall/Hr";s:10:"yachtRange";s:0:"";s:11:"yachtPermit";s:1:"1";s:12:"yachtLicense";s:1:"1";s:8:"yachtMca";s:1:"0";s:16:"yachtDeepSeaFish";s:0:"";s:10:"yachtSatTv";s:3:"Yes";s:9:"yachtIpod";s:3:"Yes";s:10:"yachtVideo";s:2:"No";s:17:"yachtSailInstruct";s:2:"No";s:13:"yachtInternet";s:12:"Onboard WIFI";s:16:"yachtCaptainOnly";s:0:"";s:16:"yachtBrokerNotes";s:1313:"Cruising Grounds: British Virgin Islands<br /> Pick Up/Drop Off: Tortola; inquire for other locations<br /> Yacht: BVI-Based<br /> Crew: Annual Work Permits<br /> BVI Customs & Cruising Permit Fees: Included<br /> <br /> CONTRACTS: Yacht accepts new VIPCA/CYBA September 2020 contract <br /> Owners address for contracts: <br /> 1 Hillcrest Center Drive<br /> Suite 232<br /> Spring Valley, NY 10977<br /> <br /> T/A = N/A 15% max<br /> No commission on sleep aboard<br /> <br /> SPECIAL CONDITIONS<br /> <br /> 1.

It was a unique life experience. It was the time off I did not know I needed. Being able to rest, recharge, and reflect was priceless. I believe it should be in everybody's bucket list.<br /> <br /> The charter started with a friendly welcome at noon on a Sunday at the Marina Yacht Heaven Grande in Saint Thomas, and it just got better with every passing day. Our initial idea to visit some of the best places in the Caribbean while living in a boat was elevated to an unforgettable vacation by a great boat captain (Ed) and superb chef (Erin), who treated us as like family.<br /> <br /> While on board, were enjoyed fresh and delicious multi-course meals prepared daily by the chef, who would narrate how she prepared them. I believe was better than a restaurant.<br /> <br /> Boat life was exceptional abord the Permabear, with every need cared for 24/7 by the experienced captain and his wife (the chef) in this friendly and relaxed environment, where we lived at own pace. Daily activities started or ended whenever we felt hungry or tired. We never felt hurried.<br /> <br /> We spent the nights on board safely and comfortably in air-conditioned cabins at carefully selected bays by the captain to be protected from ocean winds and with minimal boat rocking from sea waves.<br /> <br /> The breath of marine life in the reefs was spectacular, snorkeling at wrekeage of the RMS Rhone was almost unbelievable, visiting the beautiful natural salt water tidal pools at The Baths was awsome, dinner at the world famous (and newly renovated after hurricane Irma) Saba Rock restaurant was a worferful treat, and visiting the iconic Soggy Dollar bar and store at White bay beach in Jost van Dyke was picture-perfect.<br /> By the end of the week you may want this to become your new home and life.<br /> <br /> Thanks to Ed and Erin for a wonderful week aboard the Permabear. You took time to share bits of your life with us and taught us a lot about this part of the world.<br /> We return home with great memories from this vacation wishing to return and have this much fun again.<br /> Federico";s:10:"yachtGC1P1";s:0:"";s:10:"yachtGC1P2";s:0:"";s:10:"yachtGC1P3";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtGC2Title";s:9:"July 2024";s:8:"yachtGC2";s:587:"Thank you very much for an amazing vacation!

Erin and Ed were so friendly and welcoming from the beginning! We had the best vacation with them! Erin is an amazing chef and put so much care into making sure everyone is well fed with fresh healthy food! My 3 adolescents are tough in that one has a gluten allergy and one is vegetarian and the youngest is still growing 15 year old needing extra food often! (We appreciated that She had a basket of snacks refilled and readily available while Ed kept the cooler iced and stocked with everyone’s favorite drinks).<br /> <br /> The dinners were gourmet 3-4 courses and we enjoyed them so much that we requested many of the recipes so we could try to replicate them at home.<br /> Erin also took such pleasure and has a true artistic flare to presenting the food and decorating the table with different table settings each day! We looked forward to her daily theme! We also looked forward to the drink of the day! Which was often accompanied by an afternoon charcuterie board. The local flowers that were adorning the boat enhanced the welcome atmosphere from the beginning.<br /> <br /> Ed was such a safe and watchful captain, keeping an eye on everyone as they boarded the boat and snorkeled each day to ensure safety. He was also very aware and protective of my dad who is in his 70’s and loves to snorkel! He was quick to pull out the pool toys (noodles, paddle boards, splash pad and snorkeling gear) at every destination and we enjoyed all of it. They know the area well and directed us to the best snorkeling locations, were well equipped with reef safe sunblock, and also transported us ashore for some great hikes and even a beach day with a sun tent. We were comforted by Erin’s nursing background in taking this multigenerational family trip and felt safe in their very capable experienced hands with the threat of a storm early in the week!<br /> <br /> Our family loves playing games and did so daily and there were plenty to choose from aboard the boat.<br /> <br /> I should mention a few problems that they handled for us. The first night before we even left the yachting harbour, I dropped my flip flop in between the boat and the dock and ED was so quick on his belly to grab it- I was impressed! My 15 year old son dropped his air pods in a crack next to his bed and they ended up falling in the bilge!!!!!! We tried to stop both Erin and Ed from taking apart the room but they did so anyway after we disembarked and met us in Charlotte Amelie to deliver the saved AirPods!!<br /> <br /> This truly was the best vacation we have ever gone on and we are already trying to find another week to sail with Erin and Ed!<br /> <br /> We are experienced sailors but have never taken this sort of trip<br /> Before and realized quickly how crucial a good crew is to the success if the trip.";s:11:"yachtGC36P1";s:0:"";s:11:"yachtGC36P2";s:0:"";s:11:"yachtGC36P3";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtGC37Title";s:9:"June 2023";s:9:"yachtGC37";s:333:"Erin and Ed, Thank you so very much for a wonderful week of sailing, exploration and incredible food!

It was a unique life experience. It was the time off I did not know I needed. Being able to rest, recharge, and reflect was priceless. I believe it should be in everybody's bucket list.<br /> <br /> The charter started with a friendly welcome at noon on a Sunday at the Marina Yacht Heaven Grande in Saint Thomas, and it just got better with every passing day. Our initial idea to visit some of the best places in the Caribbean while living in a boat was elevated to an unforgettable vacation by a great boat captain (Ed) and superb chef (Erin), who treated us as like family.<br /> <br /> While on board, were enjoyed fresh and delicious multi-course meals prepared daily by the chef, who would narrate how she prepared them. I believe was better than a restaurant.<br /> <br /> Boat life was exceptional abord the Permabear, with every need cared for 24/7 by the experienced captain and his wife (the chef) in this friendly and relaxed environment, where we lived at own pace. Daily activities started or ended whenever we felt hungry or tired. We never felt hurried.<br /> <br /> We spent the nights on board safely and comfortably in air-conditioned cabins at carefully selected bays by the captain to be protected from ocean winds and with minimal boat rocking from sea waves.<br /> <br /> The breath of marine life in the reefs was spectacular, snorkeling at wrekeage of the RMS Rhone was almost unbelievable, visiting the beautiful natural salt water tidal pools at The Baths was awsome, dinner at the world famous (and newly renovated after hurricane Irma) Saba Rock restaurant was a worferful treat, and visiting the iconic Soggy Dollar bar and store at White bay beach in Jost van Dyke was picture-perfect.<br /> By the end of the week you may want this to become your new home and life.<br /> <br /> Thanks to Ed and Erin for a wonderful week aboard the Permabear. You took time to share bits of your life with us and taught us a lot about this part of the world.<br /> We return home with great memories from this vacation wishing to return and have this much fun again.<br /> Federico</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> July 2024</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Thank you very much for an amazing vacation!

I especially, as the person who wrangles all of our family, cooks, etc. am especially appreciative of the relaxing atmosphere. I was grateful not to have to do ANYthing! The crew took care of absolutely everything. Captain Ed went above and beyond by scuba diving one morning to find a pair of prescription glasses that my husband lost off the boat. Erin switched up dinner one night on the fly due to an impromptu change in our group's needs. I liked the freedom to change our schedule whenever we wanted (flexible agenda). We liked the ability to travel from place to place without a bunch of people. My absolute favorite thing was just leisurely drinking coffee in the morning in a beautiful environment.<br /> -Angela D.</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> March 2024</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Thank you Erin and Ed, You two Rock!

Erin and Ed were so friendly and welcoming from the beginning! We had the best vacation with them! Erin is an amazing chef and put so much care into making sure everyone is well fed with fresh healthy food! My 3 adolescents are tough in that one has a gluten allergy and one is vegetarian and the youngest is still growing 15 year old needing extra food often! (We appreciated that She had a basket of snacks refilled and readily available while Ed kept the cooler iced and stocked with everyone’s favorite drinks).<br /> <br /> The dinners were gourmet 3-4 courses and we enjoyed them so much that we requested many of the recipes so we could try to replicate them at home.<br /> Erin also took such pleasure and has a true artistic flare to presenting the food and decorating the table with different table settings each day! We looked forward to her daily theme! We also looked forward to the drink of the day! Which was often accompanied by an afternoon charcuterie board. The local flowers that were adorning the boat enhanced the welcome atmosphere from the beginning.<br /> <br /> Ed was such a safe and watchful captain, keeping an eye on everyone as they boarded the boat and snorkeled each day to ensure safety. He was also very aware and protective of my dad who is in his 70’s and loves to snorkel! He was quick to pull out the pool toys (noodles, paddle boards, splash pad and snorkeling gear) at every destination and we enjoyed all of it. They know the area well and directed us to the best snorkeling locations, were well equipped with reef safe sunblock, and also transported us ashore for some great hikes and even a beach day with a sun tent. We were comforted by Erin’s nursing background in taking this multigenerational family trip and felt safe in their very capable experienced hands with the threat of a storm early in the week!<br /> <br /> Our family loves playing games and did so daily and there were plenty to choose from aboard the boat.<br /> <br /> I should mention a few problems that they handled for us. The first night before we even left the yachting harbour, I dropped my flip flop in between the boat and the dock and ED was so quick on his belly to grab it- I was impressed! My 15 year old son dropped his air pods in a crack next to his bed and they ended up falling in the bilge!!!!!! We tried to stop both Erin and Ed from taking apart the room but they did so anyway after we disembarked and met us in Charlotte Amelie to deliver the saved AirPods!!<br /> <br /> This truly was the best vacation we have ever gone on and we are already trying to find another week to sail with Erin and Ed!<br /> <br /> We are experienced sailors but have never taken this sort of trip<br /> Before and realized quickly how crucial a good crew is to the success if the trip.</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> June 2023</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Erin and Ed, Thank you so very much for a wonderful week of sailing, exploration and incredible food! Your hospitality was above and beyond as well as your attention to all the details. You both made us all feel welcome, comfortable, well fed and cared for.

You were perfect hosts. The food was exquisite and plentiful. I really appreciated Ed's role as captain extraordinaire. Erin was so helpful to Andrea and I dealing with an awkward medical condition that came up! The sailing was great and the site selection was excellent. Overall, the two of you were amazingly accommodating and quick to ensure that all of our desires were met. Thank you!</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> June 2023</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Thank you for an amazing trip! Hoping this encourages our kids to take all the adventures in life..they loved it all! This is one of my favorite places on earth (made better by boat). The snorkels, hiking, sailing...it really doesn't get better then this topped off every night with the most amazing desserts. Thank you Chef Erin. We will be back.</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> June 2023</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Thank you Captain Ed, Chef Erin, and SV Katrina for the most memorable 40th birthday celebration throughout the BVI. From snorkeling in caves to exploring The Baths, playing fun games in Maho Bay to claiming Pickly Pear island our own (and in the rain!) - we had an absolute blast. Erin - your cooking/bartending skills earned praise (better than our meal on Saba rock, even!) and you should consider joining the next cast of Bake Off. Ed thanks for literally sharing the helm and teaching some of us to become captains of our own! It's a trip we will never forget!</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> May 2023</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Ed and Erin, this has been one of our favorite family vacations thanks to your hospitality! The food was spectacular and so was Ed's honor! Such a perfect combination of relaxation, snorkeling, hiking adventures, laughter, family gams, and naps. We all enjoyed this so much! We have for the last few days been trying to find some days and trying to find some dates where we can come back and do it again. This is definitely one of those trips that was so valuable to us. You can't put a price tad on! Thank you thank you thank you! We will see you in Maryland soon for crabs!</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> May 2023</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>The 'man overboard' maneuver to save a hat and dive from the dinghy to save a pair of sunglasses were very much appreciated and shows your commitment to ensure the safety and happiness of all (human and material objects) aboard! Taco had amazing adventures and felt all the love - we cannot wait to return. Ashley and Dan can't wait to put their new sailing skills to use in the future and continue the fun with your game - hysterical memories in the midst of maho magic. Thank you for the delicious food, delightful drinks, incredible adventures, beautiful sights, perfectly appointed boat, entertaining conversation, sailing lessons, outfitting/personal styling, and providing relaxation on another level! We will miss paradise and feel very grateful for this trip and opportunity to get to know the both of you.</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> April 2023</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Dearest Ed and Erin,<br /> <br /> We have been coming on this trip since 1991, sailing et al. This trip by far exceeds all previous sailing journeys we have experienced. Everything fired on all cylinders. From the awesome crew to the leisure, attention to detail, and wisdom of the team. Bar none every day was better than the previous. We have never chartered through a broker. [broker name] paired us with {management company] which included Ed and Erin. [Broker name] described the crew to a T and was attentive and dependable through the entire trip. We have to give a shout out to having a fabulous intelligent nurse onboard which provided security which provided help for everyone from seasickness and bands for relief to advice regarding other needs. Erin was and is nurse extraordinaire! Don't miss Leverick Bay for a fun night of pirate entertainment. ON this trip we saw and witnessed places and things we had never encountered previously.thanks to their advice and guidance. Captain Ed is the master of the sea navigating with speed and agility. Erin looks up to him in awe 'cause he is the leader we all adore. Erin is the culinary queen, her dishes are a sight to be seen. Her flavors are bold and full of life. A true artist with a kitchen knife. We're coming back forever and only with Ed & Erin @ the helm Love it! a little bit of heaven,<br /> Sandra, Bruce, Amy, Dane, Danie,& Ken</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> April 2023</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>It's been one very special week!

The crew was attentive and skilled. We enjoyed great meals, awesome cocktails and scratch made treats that will leave our tummies pinning for the time we spent here. We spent our time snorkeling, laughing, hiking, playing games and star gazing. We watched our beloved Texas longhorns clinch the men's basketball Big 12 championship and advance to the field of 32 in the NCAA tourney. We celebrated the 1 year anniversary of 2 kids we love very much and we also celebrated a belated 52nd birthday. This is our 3rd vacation of this kid and Ed and Erin are the BEST!</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> March 2023</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Captain Ed and Chef Erin,<br /> <br /> You make a great team on SV Katrina. This made our week long trip amazing. Everything from the details and flexibility of our itinerary to the delicious food prepared and presented onboard, to your expertise and knowledge on the water, to your openness and respect for allowing us to have our naked cruise and truly feel comfortable, you provided us an experience that we will not soon forget.<br /> <br /> SV Katrina herself is a beautiful, well-kept vessel with plenty of well thought out spaces for relaxation. Her owner should be very pleased with how you care for her. We thank you both so very much for making our first time in the BVI's very special.</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> January 2023</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Erin & Ed, thank you for such an amazing week.
