Moonshine - Lagoon 41 catamaran

YOUR CREW

John and Lynn have been married since 1994. They honeymooned on a sailboat (of course) in the British Virgin Islands. Their love of sailing and entertaining led them to pursue a career in the charter industry. They worked for the Moorings for three years on a 50 foot Jeanneau monohull and a 45 foot Leopard catamaran, based in Tortola, B.V.I., as well as running charters out of St. Martin, St. Lucia and Grenada. Together they combine their talents and skills to model your charter around the idea of friends sharing a boat rather than guests visiting for a week.
