There is a tide in the affairs of men...

Which, when taken at the flood leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the baggage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat, and we must take the current when it serves or loose our ventures

Her sheer size and speed will definitely impress you. A beautiful 85' hi-tech schooner, with every navigational aid made today fitted aboard, and a galley that is far beyond the bounds expected on any yacht. TABOO is specifically designed for charter.

TABOO is fully air conditioned, with five queen sized roomy staterooms, all fully en-suite. There is forty pounds water pressure, and tons of hot water. All the toilets are electric, and automatic!  Each stateroom is fitted with a TV/VCR, telephone, intercom, radio, hair dryers, fans, A/C and a queen sized double berth. (Upper single in forward staterooms).

Her matching forward cabins each have their own heads and showers, as well as pullman berths for more flexibility in your accommodation arrangements.  Remember, Taboo's philosophy is to meet your needs, not force you into some cookie cutter vacation.

The spacious salon

A high tec AV system includes a 42" Plazma TV and awsome sound system.
Captain David also creates a DVD vidieo of your trip as a momento of your Time on Taboo.

At last you can control your own vacation if you so desire. You can sail an 85' Maxi Yacht...take the 6' helm and watch the speed exceed 20 knots on some points of sail. You can be involved, or let the crew of four do everything for you while you watch the islands of the Caribbean go by. Whichever way...you will be sailing on one of the most exciting sailboats in the world!

Taboo's Crew

Miranda and David Hartstone & Crew


David, with 20 years experience in the Rock & Roll business in London and New York, has an ear for almost any conversation and can tell a few tales himself. With David’s many Atlantic crossings and sailing trips all around New Zealand, England and the Channel Islands, not to mention 18 years of sailing in the Caribbean, you are assured of total safety and confidence aboard TABOO. With David at the helm, you can relax. His only qualification: Experience!

For twenty  years, Miranda and David have been taking your sailing vacations seriously and now believe that they are starting to get the knack of it. They offer a very tidy show aboard TABOO. They know what you want to see (in most instances) and Miranda knows what you want to eat (in most cases)! Her past experience in designing menus and buying food for large Vancouver hotels may help to explain why 85% of the charter guests return again and again. Quality in a tasty cuisine.
