About Luxury Crewed Catamaran SHANGRI LA
SHANGRI LA is a Lagoon 52 catamaran built in 2016, purpose-designed for relaxed family and small-group charters across the British Virgin Islands and US Virgin Islands. Her four cabins sleep eight guests comfortably, each with private en-suite facilities, climate control, and natural ventilation through hull windows and deck hatches. The vessel combines stability and space typical of the catamaran platform with refined interiors featuring a modern salon with panoramic windows, well-equipped galley, and abundant natural light.
The flybridge is the social hub of the yacht, anchored by a canvas-topped lounge and sunbathing area where Captain Arthur serves the signature Shangri La Sundowner cocktail. Below deck, the saloon provides a dedicated entertainment and dining space with television and music system. Accommodation ranges from a deluxe cabin with queen bed and separate cockpit entrance to two premium queen cabins and a fourth cabin with twin bunks, all with private heads and showers.
Your crew comprises Captain Arthur, a seasoned leader with five years' intimate knowledge of these waters and three decades of engineering expertise, and Chef Shawna, whose culinary focus extends to tailored menus accommodating all dietary requirements. The charter fee includes crew services, all meals, standard bar, fuel, cruising permits, and water sports equipment. Premium beverages, gratuities, and off-yacht excursions are additional.

The Charter Experience
Charter SHANGRI LA for unhurried exploration of secluded anchorages and vibrant coral reefs throughout the Virgin Islands. Captain Arthur steers you toward the quietest, most exclusive bays at their most peaceful hours, drawing on five years of regional sailing to reveal spots inaccessible to conventional itineraries. Days unfold between protected anchorages and snorkelling sites, with Chef Shawna crafting evening meals that reflect local inspiration and personal dietary requests. Nights on deck under Caribbean stars, mornings with paddle boards and gentle water sports, and sailing between islands form the rhythm of your week.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week might anchor in the sheltered waters around St John and St Thomas, explore the Bight of Norman Island and its famous caves, venture to Jost Van Dyke for white-sand beaches and natural spring soaks, and finish among the islands north of Tortola. Your itinerary is customised with Captain Arthur's input, ensuring optimal wind conditions, minimal crowds, and access to reefs and anchorages known for both beauty and tranquility.
