| Tranquility features a huge aft platform between the hulls that will raise and lower the dinghy, but can also do the same for 10 divers, or allow a group to use it as a resort shelf for sitting in 6" of water in chairs, sort of bringing the beach to Tranquility! It will be similar to a "resort shelf" on a pool. E-foil (New!) | |

_____________
Patric and Mary
Patric and Mary have been sailing together for nearly 10 years and in that time have delighted and charmed their guests in over 150 charters over 55 000 miles with a holiday of a life time.
Now aboard the paradise "Tranquility" they are continuing to do just that throughout the Caribbean.
Captain Patric GUYAZ / Swiss
Born in Switzerland Patric has travelled extensively following his love of sailing and diving.
As RYA Yacht Master he has sailed in many of our seas. In Europe, the Caribbean and also Australia where he was able to fulfill his love of off shore racing.
As a Dive Instructor Patric has taught and dived in some of the best locations in the world, including the Great Barrier Reef, the Red Sea, Maldives and also South Africa where he met Mary up by the Mozambique boarder.
In the BVI he spent 3 years teaching Sailing and Diving to youngsters within a summer camp program before moving on to Crewed Yacht Charters with Mary 10 years ago.
A great sense of humor, coupled with a professional and open and relaxed manner will make you feel special, safe and at home the moment you, your family and friends step aboard Tranquility.
There is no request to big "except the one regarding the elephant" and no cocktail too bizarre that Patric cannot cater to.
Chef Hostess Mary HADDOW / British
Mary was born in the UK and worked in the film business before giving up the camera for a cooker.
Having had the opportunity to travel the world, from Europe to Australia, Africa to India and the USA to the Caribbean she has had the chance to sample many of the world's cuisines.
She takes great delight in sharing these flavors with you. Quality of produce remains the mainstay of her cooking and she will tailor any menus to suit you and your family's requirements.
Also a qualified Dive Master she is happy to paddle about with you in the water, lunches permitting.
Flexible with a lively sense of humour and a kind heart, her aim is to make your stay as seamless and comfortable as possible.
Stewardess Dianne Mottitt
Born in Northern Ireland, Diane has spent the last 30 years living in many interesting places. Arriving in BVI for a week in 2015, she fell in love with the place and decided to stay a wee while longer, and has been working in the industry since.
Growing up on a farm, she has a strong work ethic, and always ready to help you any way she can. With her ‘heavy handed’ pours, she'll fix you a drink any time of the day.
When not on the boat, she can be found lambing sheep in Canada, Scotland, England or France and summers driving tractors, all for fun. Diane looks forward to welcoming you on board and getting to know how you like your coffee.
She enjoys travelling, hiking, horse riding and yoga and really enjoys learning about other cultures & great food. Ask her about driving the tractor!
Mate Jack Buckler
Hailing from the cold North of England, Jack is the First Mate/Dive Instructor onboard SY Tranquillity. Growing up Jack spent most of his free time playing sport, he played competitive rugby and enjoyed hiking and skateboarding too. He has since spent the last decade travelling around the world working both above the water on boats and below the water as a scuba diver. He has a passion for all things water related, along with the diving he is a keen surfer and wakeboarder - he is always eager to introduce others to the aquatic world! He's prior work has taken him from the desert shores of the Middle East to the icy waters of the Arctic Circle and has now been settled in the beautiful Caribbean islands for five years. During he's time off you can find him cycling or backpacking around some far-flung countries exploring different cultures and landscapes.

Shortly after he scored his first job in the BVI working at a commercial dive shop, learning everything about the island waters, above and below the sea.
Three years later Jared gained his RYA Yacht Master certificate. In 2019 he jointly purchased a 51ft sailing Ketch which operates popular daycharter trips in the BVI. Since this time he has worked on Tranquility for two seasons as First Mate and since January 2024 the rotation captain.

Charter Yacht TRANQUILITY Guest Reviews
Payne, Family Reunion, November 2015
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! We didnt think we could top our experience of 5 years ago. But boy did you guys do that and more. Thank you for making this such a memorable time for everyone involved both young and old. Patric you are the host with the most you are unbelievably accommodating, witty and so upbeat all the time. I dont know how you do it. Mary you are incredible!!! Magnificent meals that were healthy, tasty and beautiful presented. A very hard act to follow. Serena and Will thank you for your friendly service.. You are the sweetest.Thanksgiving week guests aboard TRANQUILITY said:
CHARTER REVIEW OF TEAM AND VESSEL Name: Gordon & Lynley - Date: November 23-30, 2015 In a nutshell our experience onTranquility was a 10 out of 10. Patricand crew did an amazing job. Our comments below are somewhat in our comparison to our experience on a Lagoon 44 with 2 crew. To have a family reunion on a yacht in the BVIs was a once in a lifetime experience beyond anything our family could have dreamed of. Comment on the comfort onboard Tranquility: First class rooms, amenities, etc. were all great. Lots of space with 12 of us plus 4 crew. Comment on the condition of Tranquility: We specifically chose Tranquility as it is relatively new. Everything was working and when there were eany mechanical issues, Patric was a capable mechanic taking everything instride. Comment on the cleanliness of Tranquility: Spotless! And we appreciated the crew letting us help swab the decks to feel useful. Comment on the congeniality of the Captain and crew: They should win the BVI Congeniality award! They all engaged with our family from the young twin girls to the grandparents. Comment on the service ofthe Captain and crew: Stellar from 5:59AM to whenever we called it a night. Amazing to be able to keep this up fromdaybreak to end of day over an extended period of time. Comment on the fun aspect of the Captain and crew: Lets see snorkeling, scuba, paddleboarding, hiking, hammock, sailing, motoring, wakeboarding, tubing, Willy Ting, finding the best spot in each and every harbor, 11.5knots in a reasonable wind, dealing with left behind passports, slingshot! Nightly summary Comment on the expertise of the Captain and crew: Extremely experienced and willing to share insights with everyone. Comment on the quality of your meals: Each meal was better than the last. Quality was perfect. Marys first US Thanksgiving spread was beyond all expectations -> research and execution was amazing. Comment on the presentation of your meals: So good that we had to take photos every time J Would you charter this yacht again? (Circle one) YES Can you please let the owners of Tranquility know that theyhave a special yacht and an amazing crew. Patric & Mary ran a tight ship and made this a special week for us. Will and Serena were on top of their game. For our family, while we were the customers felt like we were with friends on Tranquility. I think they could see how much our extended family enjoyed themselves Having departed from Tortola airport vs. St Thomas, if we are to do this again, I would always depart from Tortola. Its a unique experience to land at an airport and pretty much head straight onto the boat. While it makes it a bit more difficult to fly from Miami, it makes the arrival/departure easier and less work with passports, etc. It was interesting to see some of St Thomas, but arriving in Tortola feels like it buys you one more day on the water.Random sample testimonials

The meals were out of this world and the care you took to make us feel comfortable was also. We consider you part of the clan now. Wood, January 2016 I cant think of any words that could do this holiday justice. It has been fantastic form the moment we walked down that dock in the rain, to the boat.. All of you have made this the best holiday ever. You all are family now, and we will think of you, Tranquility and the BVIs often.. We hope we have given you some memories of a lifetime also.

This was the trip of the lifetime and we always be grateful for you and our Tranquility family.. Hecht, March 2016Christmas week charter guests aboard catamaran TRANQUILITY said:
The trip was superb! Patric and the team killed themselves to entertain the kids with diving and the water sports. All of their personalities/attitudes/service was great. The food, Mary, was excellent. Dave and Fran were both dive instructors (and great young couple) so with Patric there was three on board. We would go in groups of 5 guests and 1 instructor. We did our last 2 open water with them and managed 4 other dives including Xmas morning at 8 am on the RMS Rhone. Not sure when we will do it again but I would go back to them.

Our trip was absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations in every way possible. We rank it our top family trip, and we've taken quite a few of them. First of all, THANK YOU for guiding us toward Tranquility and it's crew. I am not sure how you read us so accurately but Patric, Mary, Josh and Emily were a perfect match for our group. They absolutely took our experience to the next level with their knowledge, professionalism, willingness to accommodate our requests, and their overall attitude and demeanor. Their work ethic was totally impressive and they kept everything running smoothly all week. When they had a few down moments we had a great time hanging out with them, playing games and enjoying all the water sports. It could not have been a better match for us. Mary is a gourmet chef (even though Patric said she's a "cook") The quality of the food, the preparation, the presentation - all superb, and comparable to anything offered at a top-rated restaurant. This was the case with every meal! We were blown away and each meal we said 'it can't get better,' but it did. We thought we'd dine on shore one or two nights but soon realized there would be no way to get even close to the quality of the cuisine on board. Tranquility is a beautiful Catamaran and accommodated our group well. It's very comfortable, all systems were in top working order, the crew kept it pristine and sparkling, and we felt we were in a floating resort. The availability of water toys was fantastic and we loved parking in the beautiful coves on our route. We snorkeled, kayaked, SUPed, used the Subwing, tubed, and during our last stop we did the sling shot. So much fun! Patric took the divers on 3 great dives. We have lots of photos. I have attached a few. If you need more comments or more photos let me know. Thank you. It was an over the top, epic trip.Early June, 2019 guests wrote the note in the image...
You matched us perfectly to the right boat and an Excellent crew!!
