About Crewed Catamaran EDDIES IN TIME
EDDIES IN TIME is a Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 catamaran offering intimate Caribbean sailing for up to four guests. Built in 2017, she combines the stability and space of multihull design with refined accommodation across two queen cabins, each with ensuite facilities. The crewed service model places Captain Tom and Chef Jessa at your disposal, ensuring seamless logistics from St Thomas airport and personalised attention throughout your charter.
Captain Tom holds his RYA Yachtmaster qualification and brings professional sailing experience across Croatia, Greece, and Montenegro. Chef Jessa trained in Mediterranean yacht kitchens and subsequently worked throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia before returning to the US Virgin Islands, where she discovered her preferred cruising ground. Together they create the operational foundation for a bespoke Caribbean experience.

The Charter Experience
Chartering EDDIES IN TIME grants access to the Virgin Islands' protected anchorages, island communities, and reef systems without the logistical burden of bareboat sailing. The Helia 44 catamaran format delivers predictable motion in typical Caribbean swells, whilst the twin hulls provide shallow-draft capability for exploration of lesser-known bays. Embarkation from St Thomas eliminates transfer friction; alternatively, commence from Tortola to encompass the British Virgin Islands within your itinerary. All provisions, navigation, and water activities fall within the crew's remit, allowing charterers to focus entirely on relaxation and discovery.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week encompasses the island chain from St Thomas southward toward St Croix, with anchorages at Coral Reef Underwater Park, Sapphire Beach, and the inshore reef systems favoured by both swimmers and fishermen. Alternatively, Tortola embarkation permits northward progression through the Sir Francis Drake Channel toward Jost Van Dyke and the outlying islands, with itinerary adjustments based on wind, guest preference, and seasonal conditions.
