Sample Menu

ALIZÉ SAMPLE MENU
All of our meals are prepared with the emphasis on fresh. We take advantage of the ocean’s bounty, the favorable spice trade, and check in with the ‘coconut telegraph’ to find the freshest ingredients for your dining pleasure. Your individual custom menu might include some of the following Caribbean culinary delights aboard Alizé. We guarantee you won’t go hungry.

Sunday’s start out with eggs benedict smothered with homemade hollandaise sauce accompanied with seasonal fruit and freshly squeezed orange juice or a refreshing mimosa.

Monday’s marvel is grilled jumbo prawns with pineapple salsa, and a spinach, pine nut and avocado salad topped by an orange/sherry vinaigrette.

Tuesday’s treats tease the taste buds with homemade breakfast pastries in the morning, and the day ends with a traditional barbecue, grilling up either the fresh-caught fish of the day, or a fine cut of imported meat. And of course, a delightful bottle of red or white wine would be just the right thing to complete the evening’s experience.

Wednesday’s unveil a spectacular lunchtime lobster salad, imminently satisfying and keeping with the theme, may encourage an afternoon’s snorkel.

Thursday’s offer happy hour and appetizers after an island excursion complete with your choice of tropical drinks or Red Stripe beer, and an array of canapés, crudités, cheeses and dips. As Caribbean music wafts through the balmy air, the sun, seas and dinner is served al fresco on the bridge deck.

Friday’s feature has an Asian flair, with tempura fondue and hibachi skewers of a variety of fish, meats and vegetables.

Saturday’s sensation is waking up to the aroma of baking as it permeates the boat. It’s up to you to decide: is it bread, pastries, or cookies? As you walk into the galley, you might see Chef Maribel stirring her mouth watering fudge. The day’s labors could possibly become the evening’s garlic bread, or tomorrow’s French toast.

Above summary is just a sampling to get your juices flowing.

Carlos and Maribel:
This has been an amazing week-long journey, whose highlights for us included sugar-sand beaches and aquamarine waters for swimming and snorkeling; thrills (for the younger folks) of speeding around on a raft being pulled by a dinghy and it’s speed-loving skipper; fabulous flavors and new tastes during extraordinary meals.
But there was another entire journey: the one of getting to know you, and this journey has also been a great pleasure. We are astounded at how quickly we felt a true part of your floating home. Thank you for welcoming us into your home with such warmth & humor, and for giving us so much fascinating insight into the people and places we encountered along the way.
Thank you for being our guides through a small slice of your paradise, the BVI.

Thank you doesn’t seem to be enough. You both created a wonderful week for my family, and when challenges arose, you gracefully helped us move past and back into fun. It was a pleasure getting to know both of you and all your efforts throughout the week are so appreciated. Maribel, your cooking was delicious! I was selfishly pleased during meal time that one of my kids had lost her appetite and I could finish her plate! Carlos, every day you created a new and fun adventure for us. My kids will forever remember their firsts dive gliding sub-wing experience, and so many wonderful moments. Thank you for all of it. And that medicine cabinet was HUGE! Not sure how this would have gone without it.
Rob WhitmoreCarlos and Maribel,
Even though I had some problems with my ear, I still had a fabulous time! Maribel, your cooking was fantastic. I loved the breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Specially the desserts! And Carlos,
you introduced me to the sub-wing, taught me about the BVI and helped me catch my first fish. I had an amazing time and loved it!

Your attention, care, and professionalism was much appreciated, especially sailing us through rough waters and feeding us with absolutely exceptional meals! I will cherish these memories forever. You have given us a love for the BVI and I certainly hope to return again.

Rancho Mission Viejo

We had an absolutely delightful cruise on ALIZE with Carlos and Maribel. We enjoyed sailing to all the different moorings to explore the shore offerings and water fun. Our favorite was Virgin Gorda. The red flag at The Baths turned out to be a blessing when we got a special tour of the island and still got to the Baths via land instead. And Maribel’s food! Each time Carlos delivered plates we all gasped at the beautiful presentation and then raved about the flavors and variety.
We were here 17 years ago and it is just as magical now as it was then. Great vacation! Very relaxing.

We feel so fortunate to not only have sailed the BVI , but to do it on ALIZE, profited by your experience and hospitality! We greatly appreciate your experience in offering charters for years prior to our arrival. The things we had planned in our heads did not compare to your suggestions. Plus, as a worry-wart, Becky was never nervous for one second, knowing we were in great hands.
The food…Oh the food! Maribel, you spoiled us with meals we have never seen, much less tasted. They not only were delicious, but beautiful also. We were delighted to have this as a culinary vacation.!
