History
of the Yacht and Business
We bought "Black Angel" in 1994 and spent an entire year totally rebuilding her in 1997. Since then we've been chartering full-time, based in the Virgin Islands, but also exploring the Grenadines, Colombia, Trinidad and the San Blas Islands off Panama.
As a crewed charter boat, we have maintained "Black Angel" in pristine condition, immediately repairing or replacing anything that needs attention, with a regular annual haul out to paint the bottom.
This summer we spent two months hauled out in Trinidad completely repainting the boat: topsides, deck and hull. Our policy has always been to reinvest money into the boat before it looks like she needs it.We made the hardtop bimini strong enough that we sit or lie down on top of it if we want to stargaze, pack sails, or sunbathe. It's also the ideal spot for our solar panels, quietly and constantly charging the batteries.
One major improvement we made is a 4-foot swim platform on the stern. This provides extremely easy access to the water. In querying guests as to why they chose "Black Angel" to charter, probably 60% place this swim platform near the top of their list.With our deep swim ladder it's easy for divers, snorkelers, beginning swimmers, elderly people and even physically challenged people to get in and out of the water. Plus, it makes a romantic spot to sip champagne and dangle your toes in the water.The 4-foot extension also adds waterline length and thus boat speed. We also built in three large lockers which serve as steps or seats, and the extra storage is a welcome addition.

The Place
Virgin Gorda: is one of the prettiest islands
in the Caribbean and is a magnet for sailors and Tourists alike.
Because the islands are a British territory, There is a delightful blend of Caribbean and
European cultures. There there are no high-rises or casinos, just friendly people, small
boutiques and dancing in the sand .
The British Virgin Islands are also a favourite among the yachting crowd. The
crystal-clear waters of the British Virgin Islands provide protected cruising and
exhilarating sailing, where you're always in sight of land, and sheltered anchorage's
abound. These islands offer fine cruising throughout the entire year, because when it
comes to weather, there is no off-season; the 85 to75 degree climate invites you all
year-round.
