Yacht Description
Big yacht, flexible plan. SWEET CAROLINE II is a 165ft Trinity motor yacht (built 2009, refit 2021) set up to sleep 12 guests across 7 cabins, including an on-deck master plus a nearby “butler’s” cabin that works well for young kids or a supernumerary.
Deck life that works. There is a sundeck Jacuzzi with a bar for low-effort afternoons, and a swim platform for quick water access when it is time to jump in. Also, stabilisers at anchor. Good for the non-boaters in the group.
Proper toy shelf. You get 2 Sea-Doo Jet-Skis, 3 SEABOBs, and an inflatable slide from the top deck for maximum chaos in the best way. Two tenders back it up, including a 32' Intrepid and a 21' Novurania Launch 650.
Space for mixed groups. The main salon runs open-plan with a lounge, wet bar, and full-beam formal dining, and there is a dedicated gym area with equipment including a treadmill and a massage table. Translation: people can spread out without disappearing.

Charter Reviews
Preparation for the cruise began well in advance. The crew discussed the route, activities, catering, and guest preferences with us in detail. Everything we requested was purchased and taken into account ahead of time. It was genuinely reassuring to feel that the team truly listened to us and aimed to tailor the experience specifically to our group, rather than simply following a standard itinerary.
The trip itself was engaging and full of memorable moments. In Grenada, we visited the underwater sculpture park, and on Carriacou we took part in a coral restoration volunteer program. On the other islands, the crew helped us organize excursions, hikes, and a variety of water activities. Each day felt different and special in its own way.
The Sweet Caroline team made this cruise exceptionally calm, well-organized, and comfortable throughout. Captain Calum is an absolute professional - his calm demeanor, experience, and ability to manage every aspect of the journey created a constant sense of safety and confidence.
We would also like to highlight the onboard crew. The table settings and themed lunches and dinners were thoughtfully executed, with great taste and attention to detail. Special thanks go to the chef. The food was varied, delicious, and extremely flexible - including for children. The chef even prepared the specific porridge the children are used to eating in Russia, which was a true sign of care and personal involvement.
The stewards worked with a high level of professionalism, and any requests were handled quickly and efficiently. Even in unexpected or challenging situations, the team acted confidently and in perfect coordination - we always felt that everything was under control.
Thank you to the entire Sweet Caroline team for your attitude, attention to detail, and for making this journey exactly the way it was meant to be. It was a pleasure to work together, and most importantly, the guests were deeply impressed and will certainly remember this experience for a lifetime!
