A 82' Naval Chantier aluminium ketch, designed by Ron Holland, she has been built for charter!

She is fast, safe, and extremely spacious. Her high freeboard mostly guarantees dry sailing. Shaitan has been completely refitted in 2004.

Of course there is an abundance of deck space, the dining table in the cockpit easily seats a family of 10.
The cockpit has a permanent bimini, the deck can be mostly sheltered from the tropical sunshine by a huge awning.

There are 4 equally spacious cabins with queen size beds.

Airconditioning is available, but there are plenty of opening hatches to enjoy the natural breeze in the Grenadines, there are also cabin fans in case the breeze lets up a bit.

All cabins have ensuite bathrooms with shower, toilet and basin.

The forward two cabins have wall dividers which are removable, creating a huge stateroom.
Two of the cabins feature fold down bunks above the queen beds.

This makes Shaitan a yacht suitable for up to 10 persons as a family yacht, an extremely luxurious yacht for 4 persons, and a most comfortable yacht for 4 couples.

Shaitan of Tortola is owned and operated by Henry Metz and Iris Mosing. They left their home country Germany and sailed to the Caribbean, where they spent the last twenty years working and living on boats.

Henry is in his early fifties and has been sailing all his life. He is looking back at sixteen years of Charter Experience, building up from a smaller yacht.
He served as a navigator in the Navy and went on to several Atlantic Crossings.
Henry worked as a sailing instructor and as a dive master knows the best dive spots all over the Eastern Caribbean . Beside water sports Henry likes to experience nature and foreign culture in all its’ variety.
Being an engineer by trade he loves to build and create - all evident in most of the custom refitting done on Shaitan by Henry himself.

Iris is in her mid forties and has crossed the Atlantic together with Henry on a 29' sloop coming to the Caribbean.

She is a licensed captain, a retired dive instructor and a four time winner of the Grand Marnier Cooking Competition.  

Having grown up around their parents' nursery she loves flora and fauna.
