"Years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do 
than the ones you did.  
So throw off the bow lines.  
Sail away from the safe harbour.  
Catch the tradewinds in your sails.  

Explore, Dream, Discover"
- Mark Twain

Welcome aboard CORUS.  Join us and enjoy the "perfect twosome" on our charming modern classic cutter ketch. For adventure and romance, sail the beautiful archipelago of the Virgin Islands.
  

 The cruising itinerary is yours to choose - do as little or as much as you wish.  Go swimming, snorkelling or scuba diving off our custom teak swim platform and ladder.  Sail, sail, sail ..... or bay hop around and enjoy a beach picnic in a sandy cove.  Go hiking or beachcombing, kayak the shoreline.  Like to sample some night life?  We can arrange that too.

Every charter guest is special to us, whether on honeymoon, celebrating an anniversary or birthday, learning more about sailing, or taking a well-earned "limin"  kind of vacation.  We want you to have a fun, relaxing, memorable adventure aboard CORUS.

"Bill and Ann, we want you to know we had a fabulous time aboard CORUS.  You are terrific; your knowledge of the islands is great, great snorkelling, fun sailing, amazing cooking.  You are a truly delightful couple with great sense of humour.  Lots of fun.  This was the best vacation we ever had.  A blast!!  Thank you."
- Ann & Tim Meagher

Stretch out, unwind, in our deep cushioned centre cockpit, sheltered from the noonday sun by our full bimini, or polish that tropical suntan on deck; take the helm .....

Below decks, satin finished teak reflects the soft glow of polished brass.  You cannot fail to feel pampered and relaxed in the comfortable salon, with plump sofas and fully stocked cocktail cabinet; enjoy a good book.

Retire after a sumptuous candlelit dinner under the stars to your spacious aft cabin, with its own separate companionway and roomy ensuite bathroom.     Sweet dreams.
