 "Gerd's
prior life as a restaurator and Sonja's love
of cooking resulted in absolutely spectacular
meals. I dine on a regular basis in the best
restaurants in Manhattan and have never experienced
food that good.... Feeling Blue? was an absolute
work of art. The interior was completely redone
in rich woods and beautifully decorated down
to elegant china and fresh cut flowers..."

"
I will always remember the moments I spent
with Gerhard and Sonja. What a wonderful crew,
so soft, sweet and accommodating. Gerhard
besides being a charismatic captain he is
also an amazing magician. The tricks
he displayed left me speechless. It was the
most entertaining time of my life. " Marc
from Sailing Paradise at the St. Thomas Boat
show, May, 2001
GERD,
your Captain, was born in Vienna, Austria,
He grew up enjoying all kinds of watersports
- water-skiing, kayaking, sailing his Hobie
cat, as well as his 65 ft yacht in the beautiful
waters off Yugoslavia. Before arriving in
the Caribbean, Gerd owned a highly successful
gourmet restaurant in Vienna (he was trained
as a chef and waiter by profession), as well
as designing and manufacturing top of the
line men's clothing. Gerd has many years of
sailing experience throughout the Mediterranean,
Canary Islands and transatlantic crossings,
as well as being a qualified Yachtmaster with
commercial endorsement.
Gerd
provides excellent sailing along with complete
responsibility for the safety and enjoyment
of his guests.
He
can show you the usual Caribbean points of
attraction such as The Bath, The Caves, The
Tobago Cays etc., and is also eager to show
you his own favorite places and is more than
willing to seek out new attractions. This
will ensure your trip will be an interesting
and exciting adventure.
SONJA,
your outstanding chef, was born in the
south of Austria. Having spent 10 years as
a CPA in Vienna, Sonja has now turned full
time to her first love - entertaining guests
and creating delicious cuisine for them with
a wide variety of international dishes. Her
specialty is native Austrian cuisine, but
she also enjoys French, Italian and Chinese,
and takes advantage of local produce to cook
Caribbean and seafood dishes. She and Gerd
have traversed the globe, from Portugal to
Egypt, Australia to Thailand and collected
over 10,000 recipes from the top-rated restaurants,
not to mention her expertise in the Austrian
tradition. With her acclaimed culinary skills
and fabulous decor on board, Sonja hosts guests
in five-star elegance!
She
is also a fully qualified Yachtmaster.
In
1992, Sonja and Gerd decided to enjoy their
passion for sailing on a full time basis.
1993 they purchased FEELING BLUE and chartered
in the Mediterranean and Canary islands, before
crossing the Atlantic to the Caribbean which
they call their home since 1994. Their knowledge
of the islands is extenive and they're eager
to share this with YOU!
Sonja
and Gerd are an absolute delight, and put
their heart and soul into making the charter
an extraordinary experience.
