We sail the Virgin Islands and start our trips in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands or in Tortola - BVIs.
Shangri La was NOT destroyed in the hurricanes Irma and Maria and is fully operable. After the hurricanes we started immediatly working and had a lot of sucessful charters and clients also after the hurricanes.

Shangri La thinks Green – Energy and water is a nature´s gift!!!
Shangri La uses big photovoltaic solar panels to satisfy the energetic needs of everyday utilities like light, battery chargers, fridge and freezer – that helps saving generator hours.
We encourage our guests to open the hatches during the night, which allows the lovely cold sea breeze to ventilate the rooms instead of turning on the A/C.
Shangri La produces its own drinkable water with desalination of seawater and a special filtration and purifying system, refillable containers are used to avoid plastic containers and bottles. In addition no plastic cups or plates are used on Shangri La to reduce unnecessary rubbish.
The eco-dishwasher on board uses less water than others, and also biodegradable cleaning products are used on board.
Healthy and Wealthy Slow Food
The food on Shangri La is made and designed with great awareness.. fresh, organic and high quality food is served to give our bodies and minds the perfect nutrition and balance it needs.

absolutely recommendable
From the first moment on I could perfectly unwind, absolutely recommendable, because the crew sees nearly every wish in your eyes. Like never before I was returning so relaxed, just after a week vacation. The crew is very professional, knows everything about the area and the boat is brand new- very nice and clean. We were pampered with that much phantastic food, that we left with our trousers too tight.

Fantastic vacation
Diving into the water just before breakfast and swimming to the beach, setting the first footprints in the sand, collecting shells, reading, just being lazy, amazing snorkelspots.. this vacation was simply fantastic! The crew took care about us in every moment, the food is amazing, looks like a 5 star menu, the captain knows everything about the BVIs and is very ambitious and nice, and the pretty clean boat is even better than a 5 star resort!

A Week in Paradise
The yacht is spacious, impeccably maintained and luxurious, and the food is excellent, but best part of a Shangri La vacation is that the captain and crew have only one goal, to make this the best vacation you’ve ever had. We spent a week on Shangri La in June of 2017 and couldn’t have been happier. Every day was a new adventure planned just for us. We could request a location or take the advice of Daniela and Bernard and enjoy the surprise. We went to remote beaches and had bonfire picnics, were led on snorkeling expeditions at some of the quieter locations and in general treated like royalty. This was the 5th time my wife and I had been to the BVIs and it was by far the best trip we’ve ever had. We had 3 generations on board and from the oldest to the youngest everyone agreed that it was our best vacation ever. Thanks so much. Looking forward to our next trip.
