A closer look
Aft Deck Lounge
The aft deck presents an inviting tableau for al fresco living. Here, the gentle Caribbean breeze is your constant companion as you recline on plush seating, watching the wake unfurl. It's the perfect setting for morning coffee as the sun rises, or for evening cocktails, where the sky transitions through hues of orange and violet. The integrated BBQ promises delightful culinary experiences under the open sky, a true heart of social gathering.
Foredeck Sanctuary
Discover a private haven on the foredeck, where expansive cushions invite sun-worshipping and quiet contemplation. This space offers uninterrupted vistas of the unfolding seascape, ideal for losing oneself in a book or simply soaking in the warmth of the tropical sun. It’s an idyllic spot for stargazing after dusk, far from the light pollution, with the gentle sway of the ocean as your lullaby. A truly immersive connection with the elements awaits.
Saloon Comforts
Within the main saloon, cool air conditioning provides a welcome respite from the midday warmth. Plush seating areas are arranged for comfortable conversation or enjoying the indoor audio system, perhaps with your own curated playlist piped through the iPod dock. Large windows frame the passing scenery, ensuring you never feel disconnected from the stunning Caribbean backdrop, even while enjoying quiet moments indoors. It’s an elegant, inviting space for all.
Helm Station Views
The helm station, while functional, offers an engaging perspective of the yacht's journey. Observe the captain's expert navigation as the horizon stretches endlessly before you. Feel the subtle vibration of the yacht cutting through the water, and watch the precise adjustments to sails. It’s a place where the thrill of sailing becomes tangible, offering a unique insight into the artistry of seafaring, all while enjoying panoramic views.
Outdoor Refreshment
After a refreshing swim in the turquoise waters, the outdoor shower provides a convenient and invigorating rinse-off. Positioned for privacy yet open to the elements, it’s a simple luxury that enhances the connection to the sea. The warmth of the sun on your skin, the salt washing away, and the fresh air invigorating your senses – it’s a small ritual that marks the transition from ocean adventure to onboard relaxation, a true Caribbean indulgence.
Accommodation
Below deck, three well-appointed cabins offer peaceful retreats for six guests. The layout is thoughtfully designed, ensuring privacy and comfort. Each cabin provides a sanctuary of soft linens and gentle lighting, promising restful nights after days filled with Caribbean adventures. The master suite, a particular highlight, offers ample space and refined finishes, creating a secluded haven. All cabins benefit from the yacht’s air conditioning, ensuring a cool and tranquil environment throughout your journey. Storage is discreetly integrated, allowing for an uncluttered and serene atmosphere.
Crew separate shower
The culinary journey aboard is a celebration of fresh, local flavours, expertly prepared by your dedicated chef. Meals are tailored to your preferences, from light, vibrant breakfasts enjoyed on the aft deck to sophisticated dinners under the stars. The BBQ allows for casual, flavourful grilling, while more formal settings can be arranged within the saloon. Every dish is a testament to the Caribbean's bountiful larder, promising a delightful exploration of taste and texture, served with an ever-changing backdrop of ocean views.
While a dedicated spa or gym is not onboard, the wellness experience is intrinsically linked to the yacht’s connection with the sea. Start your day with a revitalising dip in the clear waters, or find your inner calm with a quiet moment on the foredeck. The invigorating sea air and the gentle motion of the yacht foster a profound sense of relaxation and rejuvenation. The expansive outdoor spaces encourage movement and connection with nature.
The ocean is your playground with a selection of engaging water toys. Glide across the calm bays on paddleboards, discovering hidden coves and vibrant marine life at your own pace. For those seeking a bit more exhilaration, the towable tube promises laughter and splashes as you skim across the waves. Basic fishing gear is also available, inviting casual angling directly from the yacht, adding another dimension to your aquatic adventures. All are easily deployed for spontaneous fun.

Cheryl has a passion for hosting family, friends and guests, and what better place than the spectacular, crystal blue waters of the Caribbean! She was rated as a Super Host for their Virginia Beach Airbnb home and has transferred her knack for details to hosting guests aboard Sun Goddess. Cheryl’s background as an executive/personal assistant for Fortune 500 CEOs and state senators provided her with years of experience, fueling her love for coordinating travel as well as planning corporate and high-level political events, including a fundraiser for the President of the United States. When living in Virginia, friends encouraged her to start a small catering company which gave her an additional outlet to showcase her love of cooking and entertaining. She is excited about her transition from the corporate world to life on the water where she will serve as both captain and chef for guests. Whether you’re planning a vacation to celebrate a special event or a relaxing island get-away from work, Cheryl welcomes the opportunity to feed your soul with delicious meals and make your trip aboard Sun Goddess a memorable one. Ironically, Kevin and Cheryl met at a marina bar in Virginia Beach, VA. Looking back, it kind of seems apropos given their journey together. They enjoyed many years camping on the beaches in the OBX along with annual deep sea fishing trips. One vacation to the Caribbean changed everything. They booked an excursion on a private catamaran for a day and they were hooked. Sailing in crystal clear waters, walking on soft sandy beaches, snorkeling, swimming up to some cool beach bars, and being served ice cold drinks and a delicious lunch...well, life doesn't get much better! Cheryl studied with author and culinary educator Sara Ciliberto of "The Unexpected Kitchen" fame during the 2024 summer holidays. Kevin and Cheryl love meeting new people, entertaining them, cooking for them and what better place to do this than the spectacular Virgin Islands on their Royal Cape catamaran with a flybridge. They are ready to welcome guests aboard their beautiful Sun Goddess!

Kevin, or KDog as he’s known to family and friends, was born in Nicosia, Cyprus. His father was in the Marine Corps. and they moved all over the world to places such as Turkey, Lebanon, Beirut, Scotland, Japan and Germany before moving to the United States. Kevin's first love of the water began at age 11 when he sailed Sunfish, Lightning, Rebel and Hobie Cats. He fell in love with the power of the wind and ocean, and quickly advanced to sailing larger Hobie Cats off the coasts of NC and VA. Kevin worked as a union elevator mechanic by trade, and also opened his own company installing swimming pools, and building decks and fences. Never one to sit idle, he completed several major remodeling projects around his former homes in Virginia and Florida, and won an award for best backyard design. After purchasing the catamaran, Kevin’s skills were immediately put to use making several modifications and upgrades, and his mechanical background will ensure regular maintenance is performed on Sun Goddess. Captain KDog looks forward to sharing his adventurous nature with you, and who knows, you might just find a buried treasure!

What a yacht like SUN GODDESS costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on SUN GODDESS is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 16m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
