Caribbean charter yachts captain Henry Metz

Charter Yacht Shaitan of Tortola is owned & operated by Henry Metz and Iris Moesing. Henry and Iris left their home country Germany and sailed to the Caribbean, where they have spent the last fifteen years together working and living on boats. Henry is in his mid forties and has been sailing all his life.He is looking back at more than twelve years of charter experience, building up from a smaller yacht. He has served as a navigator in the Navy and went on several Atlantic Crossings. In addition to his racing experience Henry is a sailing instructor and dive master, knowing the best dive spots all over the Eastern Caribbean. Beside water sports Henrylikes to see Nature in all its variety. Being an engineer by trade he loves to build and create - all evident in most of the custom refitting done on Shaitan by Henry himself. Iris has crossed the Atlantic with Henry on a 29 ft. sloop.

She has served as a chef on charters for fifteen years and is a four-time prizewinner in the Grand Marnier cooking competition. Because their baby daughter got born a few months ago, Iris will stay ashore for a while, when Henry takes Shaitan out on charter. Only one of the most experienced and knowledgeable chefs, who work in the charter Business, will take her place during that time. For summer '02 and winter '02 - '03 Jan Netherland will be the chef aboard Shaitan. Jan is a longtime charter chef, mastering in international cuisine, with a lot of personality.The third crewmember on Shaitan is Jason Bourne. He is a native from the island of Trinidad and has worked with Henry and Iris for several years. He is a very kind youngman and much appreciated by all the guests aboard Shaitan. Elsie also resides on Shaitan. She loves people and will bringmany playful moments to your stay. And she really likes the "Little Ones"
