When most
people think of a sailing adventure their thoughts turn to sailing,
being in the sun,snorkeling and all of the activities that make for
a perfect day in the islands. When the trip is over another aspect of
the trip that usually stands out is the accommodation of the crew and
the food!
There is always something special about food when you are enjoying it
in the outdoors or on a boat. On Shiwara you can eat on deck or in the
grace of the dining salon down below. many people go home spending a
good deal of time talking about the wonderful food and service of the
crew. The sailing adventure
aboard Shiwara is individually tailored to meet and exceed the specific
desires and expectations of our guests.
Each party of guests is given a preference form prior to their arrival,
which lets us know of personal interest relative to dining and activities.

local cuisine as well, so Alexandra is always ready with fresh fish,
