Cruising, on our mother ship, the 23 meter Magic Carpet Catamaran "Grand Illusion", will be (as the names suggest) a truly sublime experience. Those who may harbour negative images of cruising on small boats in big oceans (and think of open ocean cruising as something one endures in order to get to an attractive destination) are in for a very pleasant surprise.
This fast, stable, comfortable vessel with it's wide open layout and it's extraordinary gentle symbiosis with the ocean, will quickly put paid to any such negative thoughts regarding cruising. "When are we going to get there?" is soon replaced by "I wish we could keep going forever." Even more to the point, "I feel so seasick, I am scared I am not going to die" is replaced by "Pass me another sandwich please."

Our home base is on the island of Margarita - just a few miles off the coast of Venezuela and well south of the hurricane belt. Our cruising area stretches along the legendary Spanish Main between Trinided to the East and Los Roques to the West.
This area, often referred to as "The Other Caribbean" encompasses many,
seldom visited, pristine tropical paradises - including:
La Blanquilla, Isla Tortuga, Los Testigos, Mochima, Golfo de Cariaco and
the coastal rain forest of the Paria Penisular.
Grand Illusion, a fast, comfortable, 23 meter Magic Carpet Catamaran, will transport you, in "Magic Carpet Fashion", to those rare moments in space and time, where fantasy and reality fuse and crystalize - into precious, sparkling gems.
Escape! Runaway! Getaway! - - to a
Faraway Pristine Paradise, where
