About Luxury Crewed Catamaran APHRODITE
APHRODITE is a Catana Bali 4.8 crewed catamaran built in 2023, offering refined Caribbean sailing across the Virgin Islands and beyond. Three queen cabins accommodate six guests in genuine comfort, each with private facilities. The design philosophy of the Bali range emphasises livability through clever use of space: adjustable interior panels dissolve boundaries between cabin and deck, whilst the bow lounge and flybridge command unobstructed views across open water.
Captain Stella Sotomayor leads a female crew dedicated to bespoke service. Chef Iona Newman curates fine dining experiences aboard, working from a fully equipped galley to deliver meals that reflect the day's catch and local produce. The vessel's water toys portfolio runs to dinghies, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, snorkel gear, sea scooters, and fishing equipment, enabling both active exploration and passive relaxation across the anchorages and reefs of the Eastern Caribbean.

The Charter Experience
Seven days aboard APHRODITE unfolds across the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands, and Windward Islands with itineraries shaped by your priorities. Depart Tortola for the protected anchorages of Anegada, Virgin Gorda's dramatic granite peaks, and the lesser-known cays favoured by those seeking solitude. Water sports enthusiasts access world-class snorkelling, rendezvous diving (certification permitting), and paddling through luminescent shallows. Those drawn to slower rhythms move between beach clubs, quiet bays, and sunset moorings. The crew's knowledge of seasonal conditions, hidden provisions stops, and island culture ensures each day feels both effortless and authentically Caribbean.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical seven-day itinerary from Tortola navigates the Sir Francis Drake Channel to Anegada's coral reefs, followed by passages to Virgin Gorda for hiking and snorkelling, then westward to the Leeward Islands' quieter anchorages. Morning dives precede afternoon beach picnics; evenings feature chef-prepared dinners on the flybridge under island skies. Flexibility allows for longer stays at preferred locations or exploration of less-visited cays depending on wind, weather, and your crew's recommendations.
