A closer look

On Board

The Aft Deck Sanctuary

Step onto the aft deck, where the soft Caribbean air invites quiet contemplation or lively conversation. The expansive beam of 9.1 metres creates an unexpected sense of space, perfect for al fresco dining under the stars or morning coffee as the sun rises. Polished teak underfoot, the gentle rocking of the yacht, and the distant murmur of the waves combine to create an idyllic setting for every moment spent outdoors.

On Board

Saloon: Cool Comfort

Beneath the deck, the saloon offers a cool respite from the midday sun, its air conditioning a welcome comfort. The interior, refreshed during the 2023 refit, feels bright and inviting. Here, an indoor audio system provides the perfect soundtrack to a relaxed evening board game or a quiet read. Large windows ensure a continuous connection to the mesmerizing seascape, even when sheltered indoors.

On Board

Foredeck Lounge

The foredeck is an open canvas for sun worship and sea gazing. Stretching forward, this uncluttered space is ideal for unfurling a towel and soaking in the warmth, or simply watching the horizon unfurl. The sensation of the wind on your skin, the vast expanse of the ocean ahead – it's a prime spot for feeling truly connected to your surroundings, far from the everyday.

On Board

The Swim Platform

A broad swim platform at the stern offers seamless entry into the inviting Caribbean waters. Whether you're taking a refreshing dip, preparing for a snorkel, or simply sitting with your feet dangling in the crystal-clear sea, this feature transforms the yacht into a private beach club. An outdoor shower ensures a quick rinse after your aquatic adventures, enhancing the ease of your days.

On Board

Al Fresco Grill

The integrated BBQ on deck promises delightful culinary moments under open skies. Imagine the sizzle of freshly caught fish or perfectly grilled vegetables, prepared as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in fiery hues. This is dining elevated, a true celebration of the senses, where the aroma of the grill mingles with the salty sea air and the gentle lapping of waves.

Accommodation

VISION accommodates six guests within four thoughtfully appointed cabins, offering a tranquil haven after sun-drenched days. Each cabin has been meticulously updated during the 2023 refit, ensuring modern comforts blend seamlessly with classic sailing yacht charm. The layout is designed for privacy and repose, providing individual sanctuaries where natural light filters through, inviting rest. Crisp linens and a comfortable berth await, promising rejuvenating sleep as the gentle rocking of the ocean lulls you.

Captain

Charly Zahr

Argentina · English, Spanish

CAPTAIN/CHEF CHARLY ZAHR Charly grew up just outside of glamorous, vibrant, Buenos Aires, Argentina. His culture of music, playing the guitar, great food, fine wine and entertaining friends, are part of what makes his charter style so special. In his early 20s, Charly completed his studies in Industrial Engineering at the University of Buenos Aires. He left the dazzle of the capital and a successful career as a musician/singer with his band, “Charly Zahr & Co." He moved to Rio de la Plata, where once he gripped a yacht helm he did not want to let go. He said, “A good friend introduced me to this passion for yachting. It was as if I’d been born for this life, a dream come true! I came to the Virgin Islands on a charter yacht. Right after I arrived I met Carolina. I had found my perfect partner.” That was some 20 years ago. They have been sailing together ever since. Captain Charly is an expert seaman and extremely knowledgeable about sailing throughout the Caribbean. He says it’s his favorite yachting destination. “Peaceful, crystal clear waters, steady breezes all year around, perfect temperatures and amazing fresh vegetables and fish! And the most wonderful, local people to spend time with. Charter guests aboard VISION experience all this and more. Because, although Charly commands the ship, he also has many stories to tell and songs to sing. All you need do is ask him. CAPITÁN / CHEF CHARLY ZAHR Charly creció a las afueras de la glamorosa y vibrante Buenos Aires, Argentina. Su cultura de la música, tocar la guitarra, buena comida, buen vino y entretener a sus amigos, son parte de lo que hace que su estilo de charter sea tan especial. En sus 20 años, Charly completó sus estudios en Ingeniería Industrial en la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Dejó el deslumbramiento de la capital y una exitosa carrera como músico / cantante con su banda, "Charly Zahr & Co." Se trasladó a Río de la Plata, donde una vez que se apoderó de un timón de yate no quería dejarlo ir. Él dijo: "Un buen amigo me presentó a esta pasión por la navegación. Fue como si hubiera nacido para esta vida, ¡un sueño hecho realidad! Llegué a las Islas Vírgenes en un yate de alquiler. Justo después de llegar, me encontré Carolina. Había encontrado a mi pareja perfecta. "Eso fue hace unos 20 años. Han estado navegando juntos desde entonces. El capitán Charly es un marinero experto y conoce mucho sobre la navegación por el Caribe. Él dice que es su destino de yate favorito. "Aguas tranquilas y cristalinas, brisas constantes durante todo el año, temperaturas perfectas e increíbles verduras frescas y pescado! Y las personas más maravillosas y locales con quienes pasar el tiempo. Los huéspedes de charter a bordo de VISION experimentan todo esto y más. Porque, aunque Charly comanda el barco, también tiene muchas historias que contar y canciones para cantar. Todo lo que necesitas hacer es preguntarle.

Chef & Mate

Carolina Rodriguez Soaje

Caro rode horses through a pastoral landscape, enjoying the animals and the beauty of nature.

However, when she fell in love, plans changed. Caro met Charly, and together they launched a career in yachting. The two became licensed captains in Argentina and sailed the world’s oceans. Caro continued taking courses to further her career as a yacht chef, including pastries and breads and sommelier. She had an exciting position as chef/hostess on a Farr 80’, exploring most of the European and Turkish coasts. She also worked on yachts as pastry chef and first mate. Since 1999, she has owned a 62' classic yacht, operating long term and day charters throughout the Caribbean. Caro excels at preparing Argentinian dishes from recipes handed down through generations, like homemade Chimichurri. She also has a repertoire of European dishes. Her pastries and breads are irresistible. She says, “Guests rave most about my 70% cocoa chocolate mousse, and my dulce de leche mousse, with ingredients we bring from Argentina!” Guests aboard VISION not only eat well, they are pampered. Caro is trained in Silver Service and knows how to be discreet for those guests that value privacy. However, she prefers an interactive charter. She says, “I try to show the beauty of this lifestyle to our guests and make their stay a truly amazing life experience!” Step aboard to encounter an unforgettable VISION!
