Shaitan of Tortola was designed by the famous naval architect Ron Holland. 
He drew the lines of a strong, yet elegant hull with enough freeboard for dry sailing

.

Driven by a powerful ketch-rig, Shaitan is fast sailing with racing capabilities and is, at the same time, a very comfortable cruising vessel with an abundance of living space.

All the itineraries on the Shaitan are custom. 
Whether you're looking for simple quiet serenity or an adventure on the high seas, Shaitan is the yacht that will fulfill your expectations.

Shaitan 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 late forties 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 early 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.

Four years ago Henry and Iris' daughter was born and Iris will stay ashore with her, if there is a quality freelance chef available, that can guarantee the same grade of cuisine and service Iris' experience stands for.

There always will be a third crewmember on the yacht to help with the sailing, keeping everything shipshape on deck and the cabins in order, if the charter is not specifically booked as a charter with captain and chef

Elsie also resides on Shaitan. She loves people, specially the young ones,
and will bring many playful moments to your stay.
Nevertheless there is the possibility that Elsie stays ashore with Henry's 
family, if this is the charterer's preference.
