JOY 52

Captain: Patrick Gomila

Patrick has been an avid sailor since the age of sixteen. He built his first sailing boat a few years later, with which he sailed week-ends and vacations in the Mediterranean sea. After spending more than 15 years running his own company, in the domain of home and business alarms, electronic security, body guards and the management of equips of watch guards, he makes a big change of life to devote himself to his passion... sailing. This rapidly took him to a completely new and different job....

Patrick and his wife, Pascale, bought a catamaran in the Mediterranean sea 25 years ago to fulfil their dream of sailing. They sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in 1994 and once in the Caribbean discovered the world of charter yachts. They started as crew for MEREX CARAIBES (a subsidiary of the well known MOORINGS COMPANY) for four years as Captain and Chef aboard Lady Anne 2, a 47' prestige crewed catamaran in the Caribbean. In 1999 Patrick and Pascale became Owner/Operators of Lady Anne 2 and continued on the charter business to share the beauty of the Caribbean with their guests until 2007. 80% of the cruises on the American market, 20% with Europeans. In 2007, They decided to leave for a circumnavigation to discover new unspoiled islands and meet different civilisations miles after miles.

Pascale, beyond her sailing experience and good knowledge of the sea, is a professional gourmet cook who has won accolades for her preparation of Caribbean and Mediterranean specialities.... and much more after a circumnavigation from which she brought a large range of new dishes and spices... Breakfasts, lunches, and dinners are always a special culinary experience aboard the Lady Anne 2.

Patrick and Pascale are well known for their conviviality and professionalism. Patrick will always be present to share with you his knowledge of sailing if you wish so, to take care of your safety, to show you the best snorkeling spots! Pascale, who is an extremely patient person just as much as she is lively, will always be there to answer all your needs. They will plan a vacation that caters to your culinary and recreational wishes.... They have so much to share to provide an unforgettable sailing experience.
