You’ll find yourself doing a double take at how luxurious, beautiful, and elegant this yacht is. Sweet Ann Marie is impressive and sleek providing incredible versatility. She is the perfect platform for enjoying the Caribbean sunshine combining the highest possible standards, with optimum cruising, in relaxed comfort. Stepping inside Sweet Ann Marie, you will notice the elegance of the design and the quality of the wood. The Salon has both a beautiful indoor dining area and a comfy sofa ideal for relaxing and taking in a good book. Both areas providing ample room for lounging indoors if preferred. Immediately as you enter the salon you will notice the bar where your crew will prepare cocktails and drinks and still be able to take part in the conversations shared with their guests. There is a “down” galley which is spacious and fully equipped to allow your chef to prepare culinary delights which can be enjoyed either in the air-conditioned comfort of the salon, or al fresco in the cockpit. Her feeling of space extends throughout the accommodations - an owner’s suite and two king sized berths. The Privilege catamarans are renowned for the size and quality of their accommodations. The ensuite bathrooms are large and boast a separate shower stall each with a luxurious spa shower. The buzz is all about the master stateroom. "She is clearly a luxurious sailing vessel but oh my, have you seen the owner’s suite!" All additional space has been dedicated to this berth. Entry to the owner’s suite is through the short hallway which serves as both a dressing area and the entry to the ensuite bathroom. It has a desk, lots of stowage and a mini loveseat. Two steps take you up to the boudoir with an enormous walk-around berth, plenty of dresser drawers and overhead hatches. Oh, and lest we forget, Sweet Ann Marie has an outstanding exterior, too.

The flybridge has huge sunpads on which to lounge while keeping the captain company and enjoying the beautiful scenery and sunsets the Caribbean has to offer. For guests who prefer the outdoors, the foredeck and trampolines create fantastic large sunbathing and relaxation areas. The foredeck has an additional large sunpad for those wishing to soak up the sun while underway. Sweet Ann Marie is equipped with a full range of water toys including water skis, towable toys, snorkel gear and fishing equipment The combination of simplistic but superior design with her outstanding crew, results in the ultimate luxury Caribbean cruising experience.

Crew Profile

MEET YOUR CREW
Captain: Alan (Al) Owen
Chef: Eleanor Thomson


Al was born in South Africa. A country with an agreeable climate, warm water and therefore it should come as no surprise that at the age of 8 he was a regular at the local yacht club. That came in the form of racing in Optimist dinghies and so began his long association with boats and with water sports.

He moved to Ireland in 1997 and spent the next 8yrs as an outdoor instructor. Disciplines covered included sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and paddle sports. Archery, indoor climbing, orienteering, mountain biking and swimming.

As a slight distraction he spent 13yrs as a police officer where he honed his skills in the art of dealing and communicating with people and their problems before returning to the world of boating.

Al has competed at national and international level in both dinghy and keelboat racing , and represented his country in kayak surfing at World Championships.

Offshore racing in J 24’s had whetted his appetite to pursue a career in a maritime setting and he enrolled on a Professional Offshore Yachtmaster course . He then worked as Flotilla Lead and bareboat Skipper for Sunsail, Dubrovnik, Croatia, before setting his sights on the Caribbean and fulfilling a lifelong dream to captain a yacht in paradise .
When at home you'll find him hunting surf along the West coast of Ireland, either on a board, windsurfer or more recently his wing foil.


Eleanor grew up in the small seaside town of Dover in the Southeast of England. She grew up with a great appreciation of the outdoors, nature and adventure. Her mother, born and raised in Africa, and her father, having a military background, she has lived and worked internationally. As such, trotting round the world on her own adventure is something that has come very naturally to her!

At nineteen she left the UK to study Mandarin at Nanjing University in East China, a real-life highlight and a great food tasting opportunity. Since graduating Eleanor has travelled most of Far and South East Asia and has worked in China, organising cultural programmes for westerner students - a very rewarding role. She is passionate about authentic experiences and the best of local food and culture.

During the pandemic, she took a corporate travel job in London. It gave her a detailed understanding of the travel and hospitality industry, however she needed to get back to the frontline. She was keen to do something that combined all that she loves most; cooking, meeting great people, good weather, and an adventure! Since starting her dream job, she has worked as a chef on private charters in Greece and Croatia, and now the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Charter Yacht SWEET ANN MARIE Guest Reviews

No Regrets!

Alan-Cap and E-Cook Tremendous Experience. Cap and E were Awesome. No Regrets!

We Don't Want To Leave

Al and Eleanor Thank you both for an amazing week. We feel extremely blessed to experience this beautiful vacation. The bays were amazing - snorkel, swim, chill! The food was absolutely delicious and amazing. We don't want to leave. Thank You!!!

Good Times, Good Food and Good People

Good times, Good Food and Good people!! Thank you for a fun spring break.

Lifelong Memory

It's hard to know what to expect when you are first timers for a week long sail with a crew you have never met before. - a multitude of scenarios could unfold. As optimistic as we were (It's for sure our personality trend) that we would have an incredible experience. Al and Ella exceeded beyond anything we could have imagined. Attention to detail whether in navigation or meal prep and delivery was superb - but even more importantly was the companionship and camaraderie. You are both a joy to be with and will forever consider you friends. Thank you so much for being a part of a lifelong memory for all of us.

Trip Of Our Lives

Thank you for the trip of our lives. You have been so helpful and accommodating. We have loved our trip and have seen and experienced the most beautiful sites!

Crew Were Amazing!

Alan and Eleanor were amazing. We brought our 16 month old and she had the best time of her life. We loved traveling as a family and the stops were absolutely beautiful. Food was AMAZING. An absolutely wonderful trip of amazing memories. Thank you for the trip of a lifetime.

Broker Review

How did you find your crew? Were they friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and accommodating? The crew was outstanding, Within minutes Eleanor and Alan seemed like old friends. They were friendly and interactive,very accommodating to Kat's special needs after her fall before boarding. Their skills were apparent as they made everyday look effortless. After a bad charter experience last year, this crew restored our faith in the charter vacation. Was the yacht comfortable, clean and well ventilated? What was your favorite aspect of the yacht? The yacht was the most luxurious we have been on. Neat, spacious and loved the modern heads. The fly-bridge was our favorite. Was the food enjoyable and well presented? Did the chef customize the menu to your preferences? The food was incredible and very well presented. It was obvious Eleanor was talented and took pride in her cooking. Many pictures were taken. Our only preference issue was with beer selection which was quickly corrected. Did you enjoy the itinerary and the area you sailed? We did enjoy the itinerary and Alan made adjustments to have the AC worked on one day that did not interfere with our fun. He was also receptive to our requests for a couple of early morning sails that were fabulous. Can we share your feedback with the yacht? Yes, I hope they know how appreciative we are for their efforts.

Warm and Sincere

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Alan and Eleanor are amazing. They took care of us and told us to have a good time - and we did! the sights were amazing and the food food was great. We were welcomed aboard with open arms. The smiles were warm and sincere. The world was ours and they had the key that opened it to us. They warmly participated in all our adventures. Thank you! Thank You! Thank You!

Wow! What a week!

Wow, what a week! Al and Ella made these past few days unforgettable - from the delicious, fresh food, to the excellent company. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Sweet Ann marie is such a beautiful boat and took us around the USVI and BVI in safety and comfort. We enjoyed every moment; morning dips in the crystal clear waters, lime in the coconut cocktails at sunset (thank you Ella!), turtle spotting, game nights, adventures on shore..... the list could go on forever. THANK YOU Ella nd Al..... We hope to stay in touch and hopefully travel together again sometime. You've both been an absolute joy to share our vacation with. :)

BROKER PROVIDED REVIEW

Charles is wonderful and a great host and great Captain and Eleanor is absolutely superb!! Best chef ever. She really hit it out of the park at every meal! The weather was nice and the boat was super smooth. We didn’t want to leave. Charles knew exactly where to take us and we had a wonderful time! Thank you for helping us with all the changes. All our guests loved the yacht and the crew. 10 out of 10.

A Gift!

Charles and Eleanor We love you! Thank you for the most wonderful time in the BVI's! Your energy and the love you shared was such a gift! The experience was a dream come true! What we shared was very special and both of you were a part of it. We truly enjoyed one night with Charles in Cruz Bay and the incredible meals onboard that Eleanor made. The best chef and captain ever!

What an incredible time

What an incredible time. Everything from morning til night was perfect. The caves, the conversations, swimming, kayaks, and so much to see. The best parts were coming back for the marvelous food! Best breakfast, lunch and dinners of all time! We truly loved everything and will miss this trip. Thank you to Captain Charles and well done and thank you eleanor for your creativity and talent

Highly Recommended

We came across charter vacations through a friend of ours that took her family on this trip. She said it was a bucket list trip and we had to do it. Since our family doesn’t get to travel often we decided to splurge! Let me tell you, it was worth every penny! We did not know what to expect at all. The days start with a cup of coffee and relaxation, jumping in the water with the kids, delicious breakfast is served & the morning ended each day with a 1-2 hour sail. These easy mornings are just what we needed. Once we got to our destination we played around a little more and ate lunch, then all the adventure began. Our captain was flexible, our boat was loaded with all the fun water sports and he got them out at our request. He built our itinerary around our needs which were discussed several weeks prior. The crew was great with our kids. We all got to know each other and honestly, it was like hanging out with our good friends. In the evenings, we took our showers and got to unwind with a nice meal and a glass of wine. By 9:00 each night we were all ready for bed! This trip was the perfect blend of relaxation, fun and adventure. The best part about it was that we did not have to make any decisions other than what we wanted to drink! I highly recommend this bucket list trip and we loved cruising with Captain Charles and Eleanor! If you are looking for something special this is definitely it!
