_____________
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.

Fan Mail from guests aboard TRANQUILITY in 2023
Best Holiday Ever!!! Patric and Mary! Thank you for a holiday of a lifetime. Thank you for being such fantastic hosts, you’re working so hard giving us such an unforgettable holiday. Awesome, Magical, Stunning! The Barnses Family, August 2023 To our new friends, this trip exceeded our expectations. You made us feel comfortable and welcomed. Jared: Budding-Captain with fun stories and a cute “Booty”. Gigi: The stealth Ninja who makes the best drinks! Quiet but mighty. Mary: an amazing chef. Quick witted and a firm believer that the women is always right. Patric: The captain, the dad, the storyteller. Your suggestions were always perfect and our days and nights were always filled with laughter and joy. Our group of 11 could not be happier. We will talk about this adventure years to come and already have a savings plan to come back. P.S. Thank you for the mini scuba lessons. The Trip on Tranquility fulfilled our vision of our 50th anniversary with family and friends. What a loving moment. Thank you so much for making our dream come true! Bruce and BJ, July 2023 What an unbelievable memory for all of the Frostmans. Your skill navigating around a hurricane, adjusting to Frostys unique allergies and your ability making Elly giggle, surpassed all of our expectations. I will never forget you infecting our teenage grandsons with the thrill of scuba diving, as well as letting Max master the E-Foil. Quite a feat providing fun and entertainment for people from 4 to 80!! For me personally brining our family together was worth every penny. Plus I love to snorkel. My morning Yoga as the sun rose will be a memory I will always treasure. THANK YOU for the skills you have, to make this trip a spectacular excursion to the ocean (BVI) for everyone. The very definition of Luxury, we will long remember! The Frostmans, July 2023 Thank you for welcoming us onto this amazing boat with open arms & bubbles. And for doing so all week as we adventured around these beautiful islands, it was so nice to know that you guys were always there for us, handling all our needs thinking about our next activity, meals, destination, etc. You all did it so gracefully and graciously. I can’t imagine that any other crews could ever top your service. Mary- a very special thanks for the incredible food and for making being gluten free seem fun and easy. Jared- Thank you for introducing and teaching us to a new expensive hobby E-Foiling. Gigi- Thank you for handling my impossible wine list. You helped us getting though almost all of it. Patric- Thank you for choreographing a perfect 50th birthday trip. It was truly unforgettable and you were making it just look to easy. Thank you Kim, June 2023 Words cannot describe the memories you left us with!! We will remember this trip and your caring hospitality for a lifetime Mike and Nika, June 2023 Captain Patric, Mary Jared, Gigi Words cannot describe how fantastic this vacation was. This was the most incredible trip we could have asked for. I got to experience so many new things with my family, we will always remember and cherish the hikes, scuba dives, snorkeling dinners dancing and witty remarks. Patric, your music taste and humor are unmatched. I love hearing all your stories in-depth knowledge of the sea. I loved getting to know you. Thank you for your recommendations and guidance, it did not go unnoticed. Mary, I am in awe at your ability to, not only accommodate our brutal diets, but you made outstanding dishes. You have an incredible talent, my tastebuds were thrilled. Your humor is spectacular. Gigi, you are amazing, outstanding. You are an expert at what you do and your thoughtful touches were felt across the whole family. Jared, My fun watersports cousin. I really loved spending time with you. Thank you for entertaining all our high-energy requests and for being so patient and kind. I am beyond grateful for you. With Love Pagie, June 2023 Dear Crew of the Sailing Vessel Tranquility You have treated my family to the best vacation of our lives. As I look out into the bay on our last evening, I can say with certainty that the crews of the many vessels anchored could never compare to the professional service that you have provided. You have spoiled us in a special way the no one les could have. Our every need and more were anticipated and that must come as a second nature to you. It takes a great team, to poll off all that goes into taking care of so many people. We will always smile when we think of you. Thank you. Ch. Morin, May 2023 So many memories created in such a short time. From the youngest 3year old to the 78yrs young, you had something fun for us all. Until next Time! James & Family, May 2023 Thank you everyone for such a wonderful over the top experience. Everything from the Food, service, watersports and just the overall environment was amazing. It was truly a pleasure spending this special family time with you all. We will see you again soon. Many Thanks Jason & Deshea Patric, Mary, Jared, Gigi Thanks again for another amazing adventure. Being our 2nd trip with you guys you all always deliver. The new adventures keep the kids wanting to come back for more and the food! Mary, your cooking is unbelievable. Maybe you next adventure is as an author of a cook book. Hopefully we will see you guys again. Marcus, Rachael, Marcus, Luca & Stellan Dear Capt. Patric, Mary, Gigi & Jared We had the most amazing week. It is hard to point out our most favorite times but to name a few: The Food, The Toys, The COMPANY, The boat; TRANQUILITY. From your new Cap Cod and Florida Family. Until next time. The Wilsons April, 2023 The Garrett Family (11) family has just finished perhaps the most action packet, yet relaxing week of our lives. We cannot thank you enough for all the small and large things that made this a totally stress-free week. In our everyday lives, we are rushed in all we do. Tranquility has afforded us to slow down and reconnect across three generations. We cannot thank you enough and we hope to sail with you again. Sincerely, Thank you all! The Garett Family, April 2023 Thank you for treating us like royalty! The very best week in every way! The Messacars, March 2023 Amazing, lifelong memories with our new best lifelong friends. Trip of a lifetime! The Blakes, March 2023 I have never had a better trip in my entire life, I honestly cannot put it in words but I’ll try: OUR BEST VACATION EVER!! The Cicontes, March 2023 This week has been amazing beyond words. Thank you so much for all you did. Tripp Scheel, Feb 2023 You have put a song in our hearts that we will sing for years to come! Thank you so much. Allison Jan. 2023July, 2022, guests in the BVI wrote:
We had a safe trip home, but I’m still rocking like I’m on the Tranquility. I’m hoping that goes away soon! It’s hard to put into words how amazing that trip was, but I will try. Here are some thoughts: First off, the crew was amazing. Patric is great; a wealth of knowledge and experience, great sense of humor, patient (especially with the teenaged boys) and kind. I enjoyed talking with him and thought he took a real interest in our group, which was a bit diverse. He was extremely attentive to everyone on the boat, always asking if we needed anything, and even serving coffee. I didn’t expect that level of service from the captain, but the best thing about Patric was just talking with him. GG who cooked for us while Mary was away was simply great. Her food was awesome so we definitely don’t feel like we missed anything. She was quiet, but very nice, and very patient with the kids. I didn’t get to know her all that well since she was mostly in the galley and I didn’t want to bother her. Cooking for our 12 and the crew was a huge task and she nailed it. Rica, the deckhand, was a real pleasure. Everyone loved her, the adults and kids. She was fun to dive with and was awesome keeping the little and big kids happy on the water. Very patient and helpful at all times! Since she was always around on deck, I seemed to talk with her the most. I could just tell through our conversations that she is just a really nice, amazing person, and I surely hope she enjoys her new job at the dive shop in a couple of weeks. Andrea was new to the boat and was just helping out during the week Mary was away. She was super friendly and I appreciated what she did for our group. I got the sense she was still finding her way a bit, but that probably impacted the other crew more than us. We all liked her. A special shout out to the crew for putting up with little kids (8-9 yrs old), teenage boys, and my daughter’s boyfriend who I even find annoying! And, my brother-in-law and I could be just as childish as the kids sometimes too! The boat was very nice. It was well-kept and clean. Sailing was a lot of fun and we enjoyed when Patric put up the sails and aloud us all to help with driving. I’m not sure we could ever do another boat after experiencing the Tranquility. The weather was mostly awesome other than some clouds the first day and a bit rougher seas that day. However, it was mostly sunshine all week and very calm. I thought Patric did a great job designing a route to allow for great diving, but also allow the non-divers get in the water and have fun. We also loved the bars we stopped at – Willy T, Saba Rock, Bitter End, Foxy’s Taboo, Foxy’s, Ivan’s, Soggy Dollar. We also went to the Baths. It feels like we went everywhere anyone would want to go, some places I haven’t even mentioned. I’m not sure what we could have missed. I think the only negative I can think of was that there wasn’t access to real bait (live or even frozen) for fishing. When we do this again, I will be sure to let Patric know to get some bait. Fishing with artificial bait wasn’t that great. However, this is a really minor comment on an overall amazing experience. Highlights: o Seeing constant smiles on my youngest son’s face all week, as well as his two cousins of similar ages. It was a real joy seeing the 3 of them enjoy the water so much all week long. o Spending quality time with my brother and sister in law all week that I don’t see that often. I would say the same for the time I spent with my college friend. o Just sailing from anchorage to anchorage, enjoying the scenery, and mostly relaxing with my wife during those times. We also would find time alone in the morning with our coffee/tea before the rest of our group woke up. The mornings before breakfast when it was quiet was awesome. o Multiple dives and snorkeling o Foxy’s and Soggy Dollar o Best painkiller goes either to Foxy’s Taboo or Andrea on the boat. All were good though and we tried them all! My brother-in-law tried to tell me Ivan’s was the best, but I couldn’t trust his judgement at that point in the day… Everyone from my group loved the experience. The BVIs are more amazing than I really even thought. Sailing was even more fun than I thought. At the end of the day, the crew made the experience. I couldn’t imagine being stuck on a boat all week with a crew that had a different approach. Thank you for helping arrange this amazing trip for us. We will definitely look to do this again in the future. If you find it appropriate, feel free to share this with Patric as well. Or, I can directly if you think I should. Thanks so much!

"... I have to say hands down this was our absolute best charter ever. The boat was beautiful, Patric, Mary, Reka & Gi Gi were absolutely amazing everything was just fantastic we couldn’t have asked for a better trip really and truly." And, "Our meals were amazing, it was like eating at a 5 star restaurant. Every single item from breakfast, snack, lunch and dinner was displayed beautifully. "Mid February, 2022, guests aboard TRANQUILITY said:
We had a wonderful time. Patric, Mary, GG and Reka were phenomenal. The charter was a great success and everything went very smoothly. I only wish we would have used our whole time instead of coming down a day late. Every part of the trip was great. The sites, the service, the food, the activities, the camaraderie, the ship. It was all perfect. Very much enjoyed the conversations that were had with each of the crew. Everyone of our group enjoyed every part of the trip. I very much hope to do this again and will contact you. I’ve been spending the past two days trying to think of when to do this again and with who (both tricky questions to answer). The hardest part was leaving.Guests aboard TRANQUILITy with Patric & Mary in mid-June, 2021 wrote:
Tranquility is amazing. Has everything you would want on it and more. The bedroom layout with 2 rooms having twin beds helped us with our teenagers having a little more of their own space. The inside was beautiful, great for doing a movie night. We loved having every meal outside on the back of the boat, it was perfect. We loved all the areas of the boat that were there to relax and for amazing views while we sailed. The chairs on the very top were a favorite. The kids loved the hammock and the bean bag chairs that could be moved down to the trampolines or anywhere we wanted. The boat was absolutely perfect for our group of 11! The itinerary could not have been more perfect. We have been to the BVI many times before, so we had a few things that we really wanted to do. Patric incorporated those requests and we got to do everything on our list and the places he picked for us were absolutely amazing. It is so nice to be on a boat with a captain and crew that has sailed the BVI so often and is confident about the best places to go! Patric was outstanding! Everyday we discussed our plans and what we wanted to do, where we wanted to go, He helped cater this trip 100% to where and what we wanted to do. He spent endless time working with our certified divers to have the best experience, as well as getting our new divers into the water. And then finding a place for our non-divers to snorkel and have an amazing experience, too! He was so great with our group of 5 teenagers and keeping them busy on the tube and wakeboard. Mary, our chef, was AMAZING! She had her work cut out for her with our group of 11 that ranged from people who would eat anything to the teenagers that were super picky. Everyday she worked with us to make sure everyone had something amazing to eat. The food was overall incredible, every single meal. Gigi was always on top of everything, constantly doing something to make our trip fantastic, especially the cocktails! She learned one of our group drinks a specific iced latte every morning and literally had it waiting for him everyday when he got up. Gabby did a great job of taking care of our teens on the tube, scuba diving with us, basically any recreation we wanted to do. This crew worked so hard to make sure our vacation was perfect, and it was! The food and drink were incredible. Every meal, Mary went out of her way to make sure we were all completely satisfied, she really paid attention to our preference list. Every meal was outstanding! We thoroughly enjoyed the selection of wine at dinner, as well as the after dinner cocktails. Gigi kept us all happy with any happy hour drink we requested. Trip of a lifetime! Tranquility is the best of the best when it comes to chartering a catamaran with a full crew. I've never seen a group work so hard to make sure our trip was perfect and everything we had hoped it would be!Early June, 2019 guests wrote the note in the image...

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.Christmas 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.
