Yacht Easir II

Wondering where your crew Jessi and Inki are off to next?

Follow Adventures with Jinki and stay tuned.

Can you guess where we will go for our two months holiday between charter seasons?

And that's a wrap. We are finshing our time in the Virgin Islands. Taking our home, Yacht Easir II, to St Martin to be sold.

We are so grateful. Thank you to everyone who made this season so fruitful !

Live music in Cruz Bay.

Salty sailor grinding!

Inki first took to the high seas 15+ years ago and has nearly 30,000 blue water sailing under his belt. He is quite experienced. From ocean going deliveries in the notoriously difficult seas between NZ and South Pacific Islands, to coastal racing and schooner sailing, his experience is diverse. Safety is also the highest priority with fun a close second.

Creamy garlic fettuccine with seared scallops.

Fruit platters everyday of the week.

Bruschetta on island made sourdough bread.

Quinoa tabbouleh.

A Mediterranean salad with a South American grain. Could it be the taste of Carrribean?

What a lovely view to share with guests over a mean feed at ZoZo's at Caneel Bay!

'I'm not a huge tiramisu fan, but this... 🤤"

"I order tiramisu everywhere I go and this is up there as the best I have ever had!"

Casual comments around the dinner table last night.

A new take on the ahi tuna poke bowl, stacked!

We love that our vessel has the most dreamy backdrop. Look at all the natural colors!

Fluffy almondi cake with blueberry compote and homemade vanilla whipped cream.

Directions are fairly straightforward here in paradise...

Lovely views, shared with whānau from Yacht Lady Catron over kai, at Indigo Beach House.

A wee race to the next watering hole with good mates upon Yacht Lady Catron. Funnily enough, their whomper let them down and we won!

A captains work is never done....

Check out what the crew of this lovely vessel get up to when the guests aren't around! Nothing like a mission up to The Windmill Bar and back again...

Tropical Adventures with Jinki (Paddling & Hiking In The Caribbean) Just another day in the life of Jinki (Jessi & Inki) in between charters in St. John, USVI as they paddle and hike amongst the lush tropical surrounds. Recor...

The Sea of Sunset
by Emily Dickinson

"This is the land the sunset washes,
These are the banks of the Yellow Sea;
Where it rose, or whither it rushes,
These are the western mystery!

Night after night her purple traffic
Strews the landing with opal bales;
Merchantmen poise upon horizons,
Dip, and vanish with fairy sails."

A captain in his element.
What do you think he is thinking about?

"Is my anchor dragging? Did I turn on the anchor light? I hope the batteries are staying charged!"

You might find a captain off the boat with a drink in hand, gazing into the horizon as the sun dances on the water. Don't let him fool you, he is not sinking into the bliss of his surroundings, he is likely thinking about his lady - the ship - presently without crew.

Nothing like a full moon party bonfire at Aragorn's Studio within this magnificent brazier!

“In some South Pacific cultures, a speaker holds a conch shell as a symbol of temporary position of authority. Leaders must understand who holds the conch-that is, who should be listened to and when.”
— Max De Pree

We believe, nature holds the conch. Listen carefully.

What a good time with solid mates! Did you know that the previous crew on our vessel, We Are The Huberts are now on Sail Get Along?

Pulling up to a beach in the dinghy to eat dinner barefoot in the sand is just about our favourite thing to do 😍

Good information! Most days we encounter these wee fellas multiple times. It's important to remember that we are in their habitat, not they ours...

How to swim with .

Eggs benedict. Waffles with fruit platter. Savoury egg roulade. Poke tuna bowls. Jamaican short ribs with polenta chips. Raw caramel slice. Smoothie parfait.

Just a few things we'e been cooking up!

We don't wish to flood this page with food photos. However, with Jessi working as a yacht chef we are finding it a bit difficult to refrain from doing so. Thus, here is a little collage for you.

Yes, it tasted as good as it looked!

No shellphones on this island.

Oh, those stars on sticks certainly mark one of our happy places! There's nothing quite like living upon a floating home...

Think you lot brought it with you. Ended up on our tender a few days afterwards...

today only on LC. Must have own transportation to and from boat.

We can vouch for this. Managed to rock up just as she was reeling it in! Ended up in a lovely Peruvian ceviche...

Another day in paradise.

Feeling grateful for this beautiful life!

Flowers, sun and seas.

It's true. We love a good adventure!

You can also follow us Adventures with Jinki, for those off season expeditions!

Serenity.

Every morning begins with fruit.

Hard day at the office.

In New Zealand, we'd say that we were "pigs in s**t" amongst the most extensive collection of quality rum one could conjure. Nice one, Cooper Island Beach Club!

What else could you need?

Yup, that's another lovely sunset from the Rum Bar at Cooper Island Beach Club! Not too shabby of a place to visit for next season's guests...
