If you are looking for a truly relaxing, completely laid-back experience on a sailing catamaran, this is it. We offer an all-inclusive, week-long charter for folks that want to experience life aboard an ocean going bluewater catamaran.
We can accommodate 3 couples or a family for 7 nights & 8 days aboard our 50 foot St. Francis Catamaran, “Paradigm Shift,” sailing in the pristine blue waters of the Virgin Islands, where you can enjoy kayaking, stand up paddle-boarding, snorkeling coral reefs or hanging out at some of the coolest beaches and beach bars in the world…
Cheers!

New for Summer 2025:
Explore the Spanish Virgin Islands
This summer, Paradigm Shift is charting a fresh course into new waters — and you’re invited.
We’re now offering limited one-way charters from St. Thomas through the U.S. Virgin Islands and onward to the secluded beauty of the Spanish Virgin Islands. Over 8 days and 7 nights, you’ll experience the best of St. Thomas and St. John before sailing down to Culebra, Vieques, and the surrounding islets — each offering its own untouched charm, quiet anchorages, and unforgettable views.
These special itineraries conclude with a convenient drop-off in Puerto Rico, making them a perfect pairing with extended island travel or easy flights home.
Whether you’re dreaming of wild horses in Vieques, glowing bioluminescent bays, or beach days with no footprints but your own — this is your chance to experience the Caribbean like never before.
Availability is limited. Reach out for details and booking.
One Last Voyage — August 2025
Join Bonnie & Steve for a Southbound Summer Adventure
This August, Paradigm Shift will make her final sail of the season — and you’re invited to come along for the ride.
Join longtime owners Bonnie and Steve on their last charter before they trade life aboard for a new adventure ashore. This exclusive one-way voyage departs from either St. Lucia or St. Vincent and makes its way south through the Windward Islands to Grenada, with steady trade winds and spectacular anchorages all along the way.
With no fixed itinerary and only one private group aboard, this is a rare chance to shape your own journey — exploring remote islands, snorkeling hidden bays, and experiancing the true spirit of Caribbean crusing.
Whether you’re looking for your first taste of passage-style cruising or simply want to sail in great company through one of the most beautiful stretches of ocean in the world, this trip is not to be missed.
This is a one-time voyage. Reach out to reserve your place.
Looking Ahead: 2025-2026 Season
A New Chapter for Paradigm Shift
After years of unforgettable adventures, sun-soaked sails, and laughter-filled dinners under the stars, it’s time for a new shift aboard Paradigm Shift. While we’ve cherished every moment of welcoming guests into our floating home, we’re excited to embark on a new adventure—this time ashore.
We’ll be opening a restaurant on beautiful Water Island called Supper Club @ Vista Flamingo, and while that means a change in course for us, Paradigm Shift will continue to sail on with the same heart and spirit that guests have come to love.
We’re thrilled to introduce the new crew: Captain Kendall White and First Mate/Chef Kari White. From the moment we met them, we knew they were the perfect fit—not just for the yacht, but for the experience Paradigm Shift was built to deliver.
Kendall brings a calm, confident command and years of maritime expertise, while Kari’s culinary creativity and warm hospitality set the tone for unforgettable days on the water. Together, they bring fresh energy, seasoned experience, and a deep love for life at sea.
Though we’re trading the galley for a kitchen and the helm for a view from shore, we couldn’t be more excited to see Paradigm Shift continue her journey under Kendall and Kari’s care.
We hope to see you out on the water—or maybe over dinner at Supper Club @ Vista Flamingo.
With gratitude,
Bonnie & Steve
