SEA MONKEYS – Accommodation Description

Step aboard Sea Monkeys, a 2022 Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 designed to combine contemporary style, generous living spaces, and effortless Caribbean comfort.

Sea Monkeys accommodates guests in four beautifully appointed cabins, each offering a bright and welcoming retreat with comfortable double berths, quality linens, excellent natural light, reading lights, storage, and modern finishes. The yacht’s neutral palette of soft whites, warm wood tones, and sophisticated accents creates a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere throughout.

The spacious air-conditioned salon is surrounded by panoramic windows, bringing the Caribbean scenery directly into the interior. An open-plan galley connects seamlessly with the salon and aft cockpit, creating an inviting social space for enjoying meals, cocktails, and time together.

Outside, Sea Monkeys offers exceptional areas for relaxing and entertaining. The expansive aft cockpit provides shaded dining and lounge seating, while the elevated flybridge features additional seating, sunbathing areas, and wonderful views while underway or at anchor. Forward, guests can enjoy another peaceful lounging area surrounded by sea and sunshine.

Each detail aboard Sea Monkeys has been arranged with charter comfort in mind, from fresh linens and towels to thoughtfully presented guest amenities.

With her combination of three private guest cabins, generous outdoor living areas, modern amenities, and contemporary Fountaine Pajot design, Sea Monkeys provides an ideal setting for families, couples, and groups of friends looking to experience the Caribbean from the comfort of their own private yacht.

ALFIE WHELAN

Captain

UK · English

CAPTAIN ALFIE WHELAN

Captain Alfie Whelan brings to Sea Monkeys a combination of professional seamanship, extensive offshore sailing experience, Caribbean charter knowledge, and a genuine passion for hospitality.

An RYA Yachtmaster Offshore (Sail) with approximately 4,250 nautical miles logged, Alfie has sailed extensively throughout the Mediterranean and Caribbean. His experience includes passages through Italy, Corsica, Sardinia, Malta, Sicily and the Greek Islands, as well as offshore sailing between the British Virgin Islands and Grenada. His professional qualifications also include MCA STCW Basic Safety Training, RYA Powerboat Level 2, Short Range Radio, Radar and Diesel Engine Maintenance, together with PADI Open Water Diver certification.

Most importantly, Alfie already knows the British Virgin Islands from a charter captain’s perspective. Prior to joining Sea Monkeys, he captained a luxury charter catamaran operating throughout the BVI and wider Caribbean, where he was responsible not only for the safe operation and maintenance of the yacht, but also for delivering an exceptional experience for guests.

Alfie’s approach to chartering combines safety and professionalism with a relaxed and personable style. His previous hospitality experience at a prestigious private members club in Malta, serving high-net-worth international clientele, taught him the importance of anticipating guests’ preferences, attention to detail, and creating seamless service while remaining discreet and approachable.

Friendly, energetic and passionate about life on the water, Alfie enjoys helping guests discover the best of the islands—whether that means an exhilarating day under sail, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, exploring ashore, enjoying the yacht’s water toys, or finding the perfect secluded anchorage to simply relax.

Aboard Sea Monkeys, Alfie’s goal is simple: to make every guest feel comfortable, well cared for and completely at home while creating a safe, relaxed and memorable Caribbean yacht charter experience.
