| Shiwara 63' Herbulot schooner
Shiwara was designed specifically for charter. This lavishly appointed vessel will take you from the world of reality to the realm of pure fantasy.
All the time in the world. Whether you prefer gentle R&R or high octane R&B, Shiwara caters to your every need. Sleep in, stretch out, enjoy an exotic cocktail or take a quick plunge to cool down. Fire up the turbo-charged sounds (there are even speakers on deck) and choose from our vast library of CDs, or relax with a favorite video. We go overboard for watersports
Shiwara has great accommodations for six guests in three large double staterooms – all with private heads and showers. A further (smaller) cabin is used by the captain. 
The master stateroom is forward and enjoys great ventilation, a large sofa and plenty of hanging space. As we head aft we find two equal double cabins either side of the forward companionway that leads up to the midships cockpit. All heads have electric flush toilets, full height showers and plenty of room. 
The Galley is one of the main areas you’ll see a big difference with Shiwara. No more poking around in the bottom of an ice box to find a cold beer or the last lime for your Corona! Shiwara has a very large top loading freezer and a front loading fridge freezer combination similar to the one you probably have at home. Cooking is done on the large propane stove and oven, in the microwave, or on the gas BBQ mounted on the massive aft deck. Naturally you have 110v power all the time, and not just in the marina or when the generator is running. The main salon is aft with ample seating for up to eight people around the dining table. Also aft is the nav station. For your entertainment on those rare days when it rains in the BVI, as well as a superb sound system, Shiwara is equipped with a large television and DVD player in the main salon. Throughout your yacht you’ll find luxury fabrics and a level of refinement and comfort you won’t get on a smaller vessel. Remember your last charter when it was too hot to sleep? ...never underestimate the pleasure of air conditioning on those calm days!! Rediscover yourself aboard Shiwara.
You may never be the same again. There is a saying in the Caribbean that "whoever takes to the sea on a voyage of discovery will, first and foremost, discover themselves". Shiwara is designed, equipped, appointed and crewed to facilitate your personal voyage of discovery. Shiwara's Crew Kirk Gilbert is Shiwara’s full time
skipper. His aim is to make your vacation as amazing as possible!
He will discuss your itinerary preferences and navigate Shiwara safely
from one gorgeous beach to the next. He will happily give sailing
lessons and instruction to anybody who is interested in learning about
sailing.
The cruising lifestyle first drew Kirk to sailing 10 years ago as
he sailed off the coasts of California, Mexico and Central America.
He first came to the BVI in 2003 and now has the MCA endorsed RYA
Yachtmaster Offshore captain’s license. He is as comfortable
with ocean passages as he is with sailing from beach to beach in the
BVI. He’s happy to sail SHIWARA single-handed or sit back and
let you sail her to the chosen destination. As a PADI SCUBA Instructor, diving first brought him to the islands
where he worked for Sail Caribbean Divers on Tortola. Kirk knows the
reefs and wrecks around the BVI are some of the world’s best
for SCUBA diving and snorkeling. He’ll safely take you into
the ocean environment. An expert surfer, Kirk knows all the spots (some secret) hidden around
the BVI. So if it’s a wave you’re after, Kirk can get
you to the right spot at the right time. He also shapes custom surfboards
for Cane Garden Bay Surfboards. The list goes on. Kirk loves fishing, there’s always a lure
trolling behind Shiwara waiting for a tuna, mahi-mahi or wahoo to
make itself dinner! If you’re more serious about fishing, a
trip to the drop-off 2 miles south of Norman Island has produced some
surprising moments in the past! Let Kirk make your experience in the Virgin Islands an adventure
you’ll never forget. He is not there to provide meals –
a Captained charter means that you will self provision for all your
needs – including feeding him!!
