The bright airy interior of Sandy Cinco is bathed in natural light from her large windows and port lights.
Sandy Cinco sleeps eight guests in 4 beautiful ensuite cabins: the king-size primary suite and three queen VIP suites.
All the cabins have low island beds with mattresses on sprung bases, memory, foam toppers and high-quality bedding to provide the utmost comfort.
Each cabin has temperature-controlled air-conditioning and ensuite bathroom, including electric head, vanity unit, separate shower and complimentary toiletries.
The spacious saloon features a large adjustable height coffee table and a seating area that’s perfect for a movie night or watching Lizzy prepare her delicious meals.
The cockpit comfortably houses the adjustable alfresco dining table and a coffee table alongside two sunbeds and plentiful seating overlooking the sea.
The fully covered flybridge is almost entirely for guest relaxation with comfortable shaded benches close to the drinks fridge and the bar and offers wonderful views when sailing or at anchor.
At the bow, there are two more sunbeds, beanbags, dolphin seats, and brand-new trampolines for soaking up the sun.
Mike and Lizzy can’t wait to share their love and knowledge of the Caribbean and all it has to offer! Their excitement is contagious. They met racing yachts in their home waters over 10 years ago. After cruising around the Mediterranean; Greece, Croatia, France and the Amalfi coast they turned their love of sailing into a full-time career: moving to the British Virgin Islands to run crewed yacht charters in 2014.
With 100+ charters to their names, Mike and Lizzy have taken their guests sailing not only in the Virgin Islands, but also other amazing locations including St Martin-St Barths-Anguilla, Antigua-St Kitts & Nevis, Martinique-St Lucia and the unforgettable St Vincent and the Grenadines-Grenada.
Mike and Lizzy pride themselves on making guests feel safe, welcomed and pampered with their friendly, warm, professional approach and an eye for detail, leaving you with nothing to do except focus on the beauty of your surroundings and enjoy your holiday of a lifetime!
Mike loves the ocean and has been sailing all his life. His passion has gained him a list of maritime credentials and a wealth of knowledge on sailing and motor yachts. He likes to pass on his enthusiasm to everyone on board, encouraging and teaching others more about sailing. A great sense of humour combined with an open and relaxed manner, not to mention his skills behind the bar, ensures Mike gets all guests to enjoy every moment aboard.
Lizzy grew up cooking with fresh local produce in her family farm kitchen before her adventurous spirit took her to university, where she learnt to sail, and then around the world by land and sea! Her experiences influence her cooking and expand her repertoire. She added some finishing touches at the prestigious Ashburton Chefs Academy in the U.K., and now delights in 2 of her passions – serving up beautiful tasty food she knows her guests will adore and sailing!

This is our second cruise with Mike and Lizzy – the first was on Lady Fiona – we quickly realised that the boat is just the building point for the luxury experience they curate. Their attention to detail extends from the hand-picked bedding and towels to providing a wonderful sound system for all to share. Sandy Cinco is a beautiful, new to charter boat that their expertise has transformed into a beautiful, entertaining experience. Their expertise, even with the behind-the-scenes preparation, is what makes the vacation beyond expectations! Thank you – D & L E
