a lounge area with ample seating. Easy access to the salon is via the
beautiful staircase leading from the pilot house. The spacious dining
area accommodates a mirror-polished mahogany oval table with gimbaled
centerpiece, and matching Queen Anne style sideboard. You'll dine in style
on Ayacanora's hand painted Wedgwood bone china.

Mike and
Roberta Haver
Your Captain and Chef
Mike and Roberta will customize your cruise! In addition
to tailoring your menu to meet your food and beverage preferences, they
will be your personal guides, sailing you throughout the islands and
taking pleasure in seeking out idyllic anchorages and catering to your
every need. They were married in 1973 and have two grown children. In
1979 they built a forty-foot sailboat, and the family sailed extensively
for two years. They have many years of boating experience throughout
the Great Lakes, West Coast, East Coast, and the Caribbean.
Mike has a 500-ton masters license and a 100-ton auxiliary sailing
endorsement. He was born in Nebraska and joined the Navy at the age
of 18, when he developed a passion for the ocean. He spent 10 years
in the submarine service and 5 years in the Merchant Marines. Among
the many vessels he has captained are the 78-ft. glass-bottom boat Discovery,
the 65-ft. sailing catamaran Sebago, and the 500-ft. oceangoing integrated
tug and barge unit Energy Altair. Mike enjoys telling sea stories and
the history of the islands, pirates, and treasures to his guests.
Roberta holds a degree in Culinary Arts and Management and graduated
cum laude as a certified chef. She is also a United States Coast Guard-certified
captain. She was born in Washington State and grew up swimming and skiing
and enjoying the seafood of the Great Northwest. She has owned and operated
a restaurant called The Pantry, a wholesale muffin business, American
Maid Muffins, and a catering business named Ashore and Afloat. Roberta
takes pride in serving her guests only the best. Guests have commented
that it is like eating in a five-star restaurant with Ayacanora wrapped
around. She is as capable at the helm as she is in the galley.
