Come sail the Virgin Islands and find your own personal paradise aboard the elegant Luna. Join Captain Nim and Chef Fabiola for an island-hopping adventure on their 45-foot luxury catamaran—a 2019 Lagoon 450S, custom-outfitted for added space and uncompromising comfort.

Stretch out under the tropical sun on the spacious foredeck, dine al fresco at the 8-seater aft settee and lounge, or kick back in the breezy salon, where Luna’s oversized windows give way to 360-degree sea views and abundant natural light. Three queen-sized staterooms provide spacious privacy for you and yours, while en-suite bathrooms with full-size showers and teak floors offer an uncommonly luxurious retreat.

Aboard Luna, every meal is a gourmet delight. Drawing from international influences and decades of experience, award-winning Chef Fabiola prepares locally sourced fare to your tastes, from challah French toast to chimichurri grilled steak and her award-winning fresh fish ceviche. Is it happy hour already? Ask Nim to shake up one of his specialty cocktails including gold-medal Limonana, and toast the good life on island time.

You’re at the helm of your custom-made Caribbean adventure when you step aboard Luna. Head ashore for local bites and barefoot bars, or seek out quiet coves of unparalleled beauty. Swim amid sea turtles and schooling fish on guided snorkeling outings with Captain Nim, soak up the sun below wind-filled sails, sip hand-crafted cocktails under shimmering starlight, and drift off to a blissful sleep along gentle waves.

Luna is a stunning, 2019 Lagoon 450S catamaran, custom-built to give up to six guests (and your two welcoming hosts) superb recreational areas and generous personal quarters, striking the perfect balance between privacy and shared space. The three guest staterooms offer ample, queen-size berths with touches of convenience, from reading lights to USB outlets and individual climate controls. En-suite bathrooms for each cabin boast hardwood teak flooring, electric flush toilets, and separate shower compartments—not to mention impossibly soft and quick-drying Turkish bath towels.

Testimonials from guests on Luna 45 Ft Catamaran

We highly recommend this amazing adventure aboard Luna

We highly recommend this amazing adventure aboard Luna, which exceeded our expectations in early 2023! Fabi spoiled our group with delicious, healthy, and beautiful meals and appetizers, and we had a blast guessing the beverage ingredients while sipping on Nim’s tasty cocktails before he manned the grill. Luna is kept spotless by this hard-working team, and their expertise on the USVI, sailing, snorkeling, safety, and wildlife was so interesting and helpful. They provided personalized touches for each guest – from meals, to snorkeling spots, to onshore activities, to itinerary choices, to fun music – even a disco ball and captain hats were brought out on our last night after Fabi saw us dancing one afternoon. We loved their senses of humor and so appreciate them sharing Luna with us. They worked so hard to make our trip perfect, but they made it look effortless.

Pull out of your bucket list and GO ABOARD!

I can mega-ditto all of the wonderful comments that other guests have shared concerning their experiences and adventures on the LUNA! A lovely, pristine, and comfortable catamaran, hosted by the best Captain, Nim and his First Mate and extraordinary CHEF, Fabi. We were a party of 6 friends, and didn’t really know what to expect, but all that I can say is that we were ALL overwhelmed with the sailing, the snorkeling, the swimming the hikes, the beautiful and delicious meals, and the welcoming atmosphere. The week went by way too quickly so now we are planning our next sail with Nim and Fabi on their LUNA! This is one adventure that you should pull out of your “bucket list” and GO ABOARD! You will not be disappointed! Thank you Nim and Fabi and see you soon!

-Nancy & James M.

We cannot wait to return!

BEST BIRTHDAY TRIP EVER!!
We spent a week aboard Luna in July 2020 to celebrate my birthday. Nim and Fabi made the entire trip completely custom to our requests and even threw in some special surprises. Fabi’s cooking was top notch. We are well travelled and her meals were fantastic. We had some food allergies and she was more than accommodating and was so inventive with her menu. Nim was also a great host. He makes the most delicious sunset cocktails . We thoroughly enjoyed our conversations regarding his vast sailing experience and just hanging out with Fabi and Nim. The rooms were very nicely put together and fit my 6’3” husband comfortably. Luna is spacious and with three couples we never felt crowded. There is plenty of room for everyone. Nim and Fabi exceeded our expectations. I would not hesitate to book Luna. It will be a bucket list experience. We cannot wait to return!- Lindsay & Rodger W.

This vacation exceeded our expectations in every way

Don’t hesitate to reserve your charter aboard LUNA! This vacation exceeded our expectations in every way. We are a family of 5 and stayed on LUNA for a week. From planning our trip and through out our stay, Fabi and Nim were professional, helpful and so easy to work with. They customized an itinerary to match our priorities. We are an active family that loves the water, hiking and great food. Boy did they deliver on all accounts. Fabi’s menus and her expertise as a chef and baker rival any 5 star restaurant. Nim’s grilling of fresh vegetables, fish, shrimp and meats was perfection. We all looked forward to cocktail hour after an active day. The accommodations are fantastic… everyone had enough personal space. But take their advice to heart. You do NOT need a lot of clothes. You will be living in your bathing suit and a few t-shirts and shorts. If you are lucky enough to be thinking about a USVI or BVI charter do yourself a favor and stop researching. Book with Sail Luna now!

Absolute dream vacation

We recently had an absolute dream vacation with Nim and Fabi aboard Sail Luna. From the time we first contacted Fabi through our last goodbye hugs after the trip, we were blown away. The communication was very fast and effective. We were never left with any questions unanswered. We were confident from the moment we booked that we made the right choice.

Our expectations were even further exceeded once Fabi and Nim greeted us at the dock and we boarded their beautiful vessel. The cabins are comfortable and well-appointed. We also can’t say enough about how amazing the food was. Fabi needs her own cooking show! She took great care to accommodate every request. Nim’s skills as a captain, tour guide, event planner, etc. were extraordinary too. Oh and he’s a super bartender/mixologist too!

This trip was a dream and we can’t recommend it highly enough. Thanks, Fabi and Nim for a wonderful, memorable trip. All our best to you both!

Can’t wait to charter LUNA again!

We recently had truly the trip of a lifetime. The yacht was beautifully maintained, detailed, and comfortable for us. Each meal was a true culinary experience in variety, flavors, and presentation! We couldn’t have asked for more gracious, fun, and congenial hosts! Each anchorage was absolutely beautiful and offered a new snorkeling experience. We truly felt like we arrived as guests and left as friends of Fabi and Nim. Can’t wait to charter with them again.

-Mike & Rockie R.

Hope to return soon!

We spent a fabulous week around the USVI with Fabiola and Nim aboard Luna. They went out of their way to make our stay with them possible when few boats were available in that area. Nim knows the best places around St John and St Thomas. Fabiola’s cooking was prepared with the freshest ingredients and food was excellent. Both of them were super friendly and we had a great time. And if you like a good coffee, Luna is it! Hope to return soon.

-Francoise M. and family

Looking forward to our next visit!

Nim and Fabiola were amazing hosts! They were professional, courteous and welcoming making our vacation one we’ll never forget. Fabiola’s cooking skills are exceptional and while Nim mixes great cocktails! They truly make a great team! Looking forward to our next visit!

-Susan & Chris G.

We didn’t want to leave!!

We had the trip of a lifetime aboard Luna! Fabiola and Nim truly created the perfect experience for our group. Everything from the daily adventures, to the sensational food and the beautiful amenities. Their incredible hospitality and knowledge of the islands made us never want to leave! After sailing Luna, we fear the only way to top this trip, would be to go again!

-Tiffany & Josh J.

Best crew we have ever had!

Sail Luna promises a luxury catamaran charter trip, but they deliver much more than that. Nim and Fabi were hands down the best crew we have had – best in seamanship and safety, absolutely the best food, knowledge about the best anchorages and where to view sea life and sunsets. LUNA is new boat and it is clearly evident the pride that Nim and Fabi take in the vessel and their home. But what makes the “much more” is their interest in others, sharing their stories, and genuine openness in forming new friendships with the people fortunate enough to charter LUNA. We count ourselves lucky to have shared a week with them, something we will always recall fondly.

– Janet and Jeff P.

Amazing charter on LUNA!

We returned home yesterday from our amazing charter on the good ship, Luna.

With the onset of Covid restrictions last spring we worked with Nim and Fabi to reschedule our voyage for early January. They were completely accommodating and their high level of customer service and professionalism was an excellent indicator of what was to come once the charter actually started.

We were initially worried about being barred from the BVI and what that impact would have on our journey. The impact turned out to be off the charts fun! We saw stunning locations in the USVI that we had not seen before. Nim was by far the best skipper/sailor that we have had in our 4 charter experiences. He kept us safe and put us in great positions to see amazing sea life every day of the charter. Fabi greeted us every morning with her smiles and unique, amazing meals.

We hope to return after things get back to normal and would wholeheartedly charter the Luna again!

-Steve and Gayle T.

Fantastic trip!!

We have just returned from a week on Luna, our 4th cat charter but first with Luna. We were a group of 6 adults, all boaters, who enjoy the Virgin Islands and thought we had seen it all.

Capt. Nim and Fabi proved us wrong showing us the best sea life we have seen. Great new hideaways to stop and enjoy, loads of sailing with a really great sailor at the helm.

Luna is the shortest in length cat we have been on but the layout never had us never feeling cramped. The boat is nearly new, looking like it had just been launched for the first time. Plenty of things to play with all top notch gear.

Fabi is an amazing chef, meals were all wonderful, she took our “likes” sheet and surprised us at each meal with something special. The best we have had on any charter including some major yachts in the Mediterranean.

We had a birthday and anniversary to celebrate and we were surprised to have parties arranged including karaoke. This team did not miss an opportunity to wow us with attention and service.

We are looking forward to our next chance to sail with them again.

Cheers!

-Lynn and Bruce F.

Truly amazing and unforgettable vacation!

Captain Nim and Fabiola made us feel so comfortable and at home. They obviously love what they do for a living, and it shows in every detail. We felt confident in Captain Nim’s boating expertise, navigating the waters and keeping us safe – all while finding great beaches and snorkel locations. He discussed all the details with us, as we moved throughout the trip – so that we had a part in planning what our days looked like. Fabiola was so attentive and kind. She made sure there were snacks readily available for our children (and us), abundant beverages and kept the boat so tidy. She is also one of the most talented Chefs. We looked forward to every single meal and ate every last bite. She created dishes that rivaled some of the best restaurants we have dined in. This was a truly amazing and unforgettable vacation. Sailing the Virgin Islands is a dream and we are already looking forward to our next adventure.

-Jaime H. and family

I doubt there is a better charter!

My wife and I (and two other couples) recently spent a week aboard LUNA cruising in the USVI. Captain Nim and Admiral/Chef Fabiola made this trip of a lifetime. We dined on perfectly prepared food, we snorkeled every day, we explored, we relaxed, we laughed, we played as pirates, we imbibed tropical cocktails, we sang karaoke. We ended each day with a pleasant fatigue, ready to be lulled to sleep by the light rocking of the boat and the sound of midnight showers moving through. I doubt there is a better charter!

-Robin & Chris L

Unbelievable adventure, a lifetime memory that I will cherish forever!

This trip was an unbelievable adventure, and a lifetime memory that I will cherish forever!

The crew (personally) was the best part for me, they are so loving and treat everyone as if they were family. The chef (Fabi) makes exceptional dishes and all requests were given as desired. I cannot stress how much love Fabi puts into serving you and making all her dishes with so much passion. Shes so devoted, loving and welcoming. we all miss her and her energy so much!
Nim (the captain) is the best cocktail maker and entertainer there is! He went everywhere we wanted to go, and allowed for us to enjoy great sights and even swimming with sea turtles. Gave us a great tour of the the islands, talked about history and important events taken place. He even went snorkeling with us to guide us to the best spots! We grew so affection for Nim and he truly treated us with so much enthusiasm and love! Even went out of his way to install a Karaoke machine for nightly Kareoke jamz! He Makes amazing AMAZING award winning cocktails to enjoy, and a professional at the grill! He is exceptional!

This trip all around was unbelievable and I recommend to any family, couples and groups of friends! There is no complains at all and we know they treat every guest the same
Way they treated us! They grew to be like family for us! My best and highest regards for LUNA!

-Nicoletta M. and family

Fantastic from start to finish!

Our Luna charter this summer covering St John,St . Thomas and Water Island was fantastic start to finish. The comfort and luxury of the catamaran , the great service and gourmet food from Fabiola and Nim’s fantastic captain abilities and chats made our seven day 6 night experience a wonderful one.

Snorkeling with the turtles, sting -ray and fish in various solitary coves, visiting turquoise blue beaches and old sugar plantations were just some of the highlights, but the quiet nights looking at the moon while in the comfort of the bow deck simply was priceless. Nim’s Painkillers will not be forgotten for sure.

Time did fly too fast for everyone as I did not manage to read one single page of the book I took and we were all wondering why!!! Next in agenda will be to take the BVI charter next year with of course Nim and Fabiola!!! Thanks for the memories!!!

-Jorge C. and family

Fabulous trip!

We have to say goodbye today to Nim & Fabiola but will have great memories for ever! We wish you smooth sailing until we meet again. We were treated like family and well cared for. The food was impressive and attention to detail. Their knowledge of the area and flexibility to our needs and schedule was much appreciated. Could not have had a more adventurous and yet relaxing time! ??

– Diane and Merrill S.

Wonderful 7 days on LUNA!

My wife and I just returned from a wonderful 7 days on The Luna with Nim and Fabiola! A fabulous catamaran that looks and feels brand new.

Fabiola is truly a chef making us looking forward to what was coming next! Nim was always sharing stories that helped us learn so much about the islands. We experienced fabulous snorkeling with turtles, stingrays and hundreds of tropical fish. We explored the sugar ruins on St. John and every evening we were at a different lagoon to see fabulous sunsets.

We have done several of these trips but they have truly set the bar!

-Rick and DeDra G.

Beautiful vacation, fantastic trip to the BVIs!

We really enjoyed our vacation aboard Luna. Fabiola is very sweet and is a fantastic chef. Our meals were superb and I would recommend the “full board” option for those considering on-shore meals. Nim is very engaging and is a skilled sailor.

Luna is in pristine shape and the accommodations were always clean and comfortable. They had great recommendations on where places to go, but were flexible if we wanted to make changes.

We would highly recommend Sail Luna for your sailing adventures if you want to be spoiled and enjoy the ride, the fabulous food, and a relaxing, beautiful vacation.

Thank you Nim and Fabiola!

-Lisa and Chuck H.

FABULOUS!!!

Our vacation on Luna was the vacation of a lifetime! “FABULOUS” The boat is a beauty, so comfortable, lots of room for both sun and shade. We snorkeled, swam, enjoyed beautiful sunsets and sunrises (oh, that coffee first thing in the morning, YUMMMM), and lots of laughs. We never ran out of “RUM!” LOL.

Nim and Fab are so awesome in every way. They were the most professional crew when they needed to be. Yet, our new best friends when we were not underway! We felt like we were leaving our new best friends when our vacation was over. The food, all of it, was spot on wonderful. Fresh fruit, lots of fresh fish, salads, sweet little appetizers before dinner every night.

It was a dream of a trip of a lifetime. We are already making plans for our 2022 return visit. Only this time it will be a longer trip. Thank You again!
