If you’re looking for more than this is for you! More than a cookie cutter itinerary, our entire trip was a day to day flexible custom experience that enabled us to maximize our time doing the things we love! More than standard destinations, our smaller catamaran took us closer to the hard to reach spots, and showed us the real beauty of the Caribbean. More than personalized touches, our Captain Jaro, and First Mate/Chef Anouk, tailored everything to our preferences and ensured all of our needs/requests were met! From the timing of meals to special diet accommodations and beverage preferences, we were never left wanting, and there was not a snorkel opportunity missed on our route! More than safe, our comfort was always considered by Jaro and Anouk, whenever we encountered stronger winds or rainstorms during the trip. Finally, more than staff, Jaro and Anouk have become family! They are fun, worldly, engaging and caring individuals who love what they do and look forward to sharing that passion with their guests!

My mom wanted to go on a sailing trip to celebrate her 80th birthday. She said it was an unforgettable trip of a lifetime for her. Jaro and Anouk completely pampered us and had wonderful ideas and suggestions of places we could go and things to do. We highly recommend them for your next Caribbean getaway.

Hello, we would like to send a lot of thanks and greetings to our friends Anouk and Jaro, who took and guided us during two weeks of vacation on Timaiao2 in April 2024. It was an absolutely great experience, going across charming Grenadines islands. For us it was the first time in this location with such awesome people. They show us nice areas, with beautiful sandy beaches and nature, glamorous sea life with multivariates fishes, turtles, rays with a lot of information about it. We had an excellent time together, a really good mood, we were happy with Anouk's excellent cuisine, and we spoke and enjoyed all, that we experienced together. I hope that we will go again to discover islands unknown to us soon, and we can highly recommend this holiday.

We had a joyous week with Jaro and Anouk. We sailed downwind from St. Vincent to Grenada, which we highly recommend. Snorkeling with huge turtles and manta rays, stargazing from the trampoline on the bow, listening to the reggae music on shore, and swapping stories with Anouk and Jaro were some of our favorite moments. Both Jaro and Anouk took the time to go ashore with us to show us great spots to eat and point out hikes. We had an absolutely fabulous week and would highly recommend it to anyone adventurous. Our only complaint was that we wanted more time in each location. A week is not long enough!! We will always cherish our happy memories in the Grenadines and look forward to returning some day.
Thank you, Jaro & Anouk!!!

The Grenadines… Caribbean islands with few tourists, friendly locals, sandy beaches, snorkelling, sailing, turtles… we 🇨🇦4 were all ‘in’. We explored this area for 10 days with Jaro, a highly experienced, affable captain, and Anouk, his outgoing, talented first mate & chef on the catamaran Timaiao 2. From scenery to safety, turtles to tapas, new friendship to food this adventure was all we had anticipated.
We treasure our memories, celebrate our new friendship & hope our paths will cross again very soon. Děkuji, Merci beaucoup & huge hugs. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

AMAZING is the best word to describe our sailing charter with Jaro and Anouk. We had 2 couples and 1 teenager for 8 nights and sailed Grenada and the Grenadines and then back. The boat is perfect for this number of people and the experience was simple perfect. Jaro and Anouk have so much experience in the area and took us to some great snorkeling spots, private, pristine beaches, and amazing food in between. Our entire group loved it. Jaro and Anouk work great together as a team. He is an expert captain and she is an amazing chef and tour guide. They both made us all feel very safe always and comfortably at home in their home. They have the best client service I could imagine and this is saying something being on a boat together 24x7. Truly amazing and can’t wait to do another trip with them.

My husband and I had the pleasure of sailing with Captain Jaro and his First Mate/Chef/Partner, Anouk, on their ctamaran, Timaiao 2. What a first rate and lovely journey we had! They picked us up in Soufriere, St. Lucia and we proceeded to island hop for 10 days through the windward islands and end in Grenada.
Our 10 days of sailing could not have been better: Jaro is an experienced sailor and always had our safety and happiness as his first priority. As did Anouk - she is a gourmet cook and spoiled us terribly by creating lovely dishes and following our food preferences. She enthusiastically hiked and snorkeled with us, and both she and Jaro know the best stops for everything. The best part of the trip was our camaraderie with this couple! We feel that we will be friends forever. They are a pleasure to be with - joking and witty and HAPPY and pleasant to each other as well. We plan to find them somewhere in the Caribbean next year and join them again. We can’t say enough good things about this experience!

We sailed with Captain Jaro and Chef Anouk for eight nights, starting at St. Lucia, traveling south towards St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and back to St. Lucia. We had an absolutely amazing time on the boat with Jaro and Anouk! This was our first ever charter experience, and it will certainly not be our last!
Each night after a delicious dinner prepared by Chef Anouk, Jaro sat with us and reviewed the plans for the following day. He made sure to incorporate our preferences and did not disappoint! We found beautiful beaches and waterfalls, ate at the coolest local spots and enjoyed the entire sailing experience. It is clear that Jaro is an experienced captain and we were in good hands! By the end of the trip, we were more knowledgeable about sailing in the Caribbean, had many deliciously prepared local meals and gained two friends.
We undoubtedly recommend sailing with Jaro and Anouk for an unforgettable experience!
Thank you again for a beautiful trip!

Guests wrote of their 10 night charter in early December, 2023, aboard catamaran TIMAIAO 2 in the Grenadines:
We left from Grenada and embarked on a 10 day adventure on a 38 ft Catamaran that took us to the Grenada Underwater Statues as well as Tobago Cays, Bequia, Canouan , Union Island and St. Lucia.
We were taken care of on the Timaiao 2 by Captain Jaro and his partner and Chef Anouk! Incredible people that ensured our safety was paramount and that our food was delicious!
Some of our highlights were swimming & snorkeling with Turtles and sting rays, beach BBQ’s, mud baths, hiking to waterfalls and meeting all the locals at the different islands!!!!
If you are new to sailing like we were, start with this boat and let Jaro & Anouk teach you the ropes!!

Our charter on Timaiao 2 catamaran with Jaro Hollan and Anouk Sylvestre was fantastic. They were forthcoming, hospitable and caring. Jaro took us to his favorite places in Grenadines accommodating at the same time our desires and wishes, and Anouk adapted her dishes to a personal taste of each guest on board. We are very happy our hosts were the owners of Tiamiao 2 captain Jaro and chef Anouk.

My wife and I booked with Jaro and Anouk on their Lagoon 40 for 2 weeks. We boarded in Martinique on February 25th and ended in Grenada on March 11th. We visited St. Lucia with stops at Rodney Bay and Soufriere then sailed to islands of Bequia, Mayreau, Tobago Cays, Canouan, Union, Petit St. Vincent, Mopion, Carriacou, Round Island, and two stops in Grenada.
It was a trip of a lifetime, and I highly recommend these guys! Jaro's knowledge of restaurants, snorkeling sites, anchorages, customs and passport processing, and island contacts made our trip effortless. Anouk always had breakfast with coffee and fruit ready as well as lunch and dinner. She also was happy to snorkel with us and accompany us on various day trips. It is safe to say that we consider them friends and we plan on doing Martinique north next winter.

Hello!! On behalf of the entire group from the Czech Republic, I thank you for the sensational Caribbean cruise on catamaran Timaiao 2. We were looked after wonderfully. We really liked the professional and at the same time very friendly approach of Captain Jaro, who always adapted the cruise to both the current weather and safety, as well as our desire to see the most beautiful places of this paradise.
The route was always planned 1-2 days in advance. So we knew what to expect and what to look forward to, with multiple route options to choose from each time. The captain always tried his best to accommodate all our wishes.
Thanks also to the wonderful Anouk, who prepared fresh food on board every day, tailored to our tastes and needs. My vegetarianism wasn't a problem either, on the contrary, I checked out some of Anouk's recipes myself, because her food was really great. In conclusion, I would like to appreciate the incredible patience of both Jaro and Anouk, because sharing one catamaran for 14 days with our noisy, very cheerful, dancing, all-nighter group must have been difficult. Thank you for your incredible tolerance, friendliness and simply for allowing us to really enjoy it to the fullest.
Dear Jaro and Anouk, you are wonderful people, we liked you very much and we will miss you. The two of you, the Caribbean and the incredible comfort that reigned on the boat was great. I hope we haven't seen each other for the last time.
A cheerful group from the Czech Republic wishes you many happy voyages.

Festive Season 2024, guests aboard catamaran TIMAIAO 2 wrote
If you’re looking for more than this is for you! More than a cookie cutter itinerary, our entire trip was a day to day flexible custom experience that enabled us to maximize our time doing the things we love! More than standard destinations, our smaller catamaran took us closer to the hard to reach spots, and showed us the real beauty of the Caribbean. More than personalized touches, our Captain Jaro, and First Mate/Chef Anouk, tailored everything to our preferences and ensured all of our needs/requests were met! From the timing of meals to special diet accommodations and beverage preferences, we were never left wanting, and there was not a snorkel opportunity missed on our route! More than safe, our comfort was always considered by Jaro and Anouk, whenever we encountered stronger winds or rainstorms during the trip. Finally, more than staff, Jaro and Anouk have become family! They are fun, worldly, engaging and caring individuals who love what they do and look forward to sharing that passion with their guests!

My mom wanted to go on a sailing trip to celebrate her 80th birthday. She said it was an unforgettable trip of a lifetime for her. Jaro and Anouk completely pampered us and had wonderful ideas and suggestions of places we could go and things to do. We highly recommend them for your next Caribbean getaway.

Hello, we would like to send a lot of thanks and greetings to our friends Anouk and Jaro, who took and guided us during two weeks of vacation on Timaiao2 in April 2024. It was an absolutely great experience, going across charming Grenadines islands. For us it was the first time in this location with such awesome people. They show us nice areas, with beautiful sandy beaches and nature, glamorous sea life with multivariates fishes, turtles, rays with a lot of information about it. We had an excellent time together, a really good mood, we were happy with Anouk's excellent cuisine, and we spoke and enjoyed all, that we experienced together. I hope that we will go again to discover islands unknown to us soon, and we can highly recommend this holiday.

We had a joyous week with Jaro and Anouk. We sailed downwind from St. Vincent to Grenada, which we highly recommend. Snorkeling with huge turtles and manta rays, stargazing from the trampoline on the bow, listening to the reggae music on shore, and swapping stories with Anouk and Jaro were some of our favorite moments. Both Jaro and Anouk took the time to go ashore with us to show us great spots to eat and point out hikes. We had an absolutely fabulous week and would highly recommend it to anyone adventurous. Our only complaint was that we wanted more time in each location. A week is not long enough!! We will always cherish our happy memories in the Grenadines and look forward to returning some day.
Thank you, Jaro & Anouk!!!

The Grenadines… Caribbean islands with few tourists, friendly locals, sandy beaches, snorkelling, sailing, turtles… we 🇨🇦4 were all ‘in’. We explored this area for 10 days with Jaro, a highly experienced, affable captain, and Anouk, his outgoing, talented first mate & chef on the catamaran Timaiao 2. From scenery to safety, turtles to tapas, new friendship to food this adventure was all we had anticipated.
We treasure our memories, celebrate our new friendship & hope our paths will cross again very soon. Děkuji, Merci beaucoup & huge hugs. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

AMAZING is the best word to describe our sailing charter with Jaro and Anouk. We had 2 couples and 1 teenager for 8 nights and sailed Grenada and the Grenadines and then back. The boat is perfect for this number of people and the experience was simple perfect. Jaro and Anouk have so much experience in the area and took us to some great snorkeling spots, private, pristine beaches, and amazing food in between. Our entire group loved it. Jaro and Anouk work great together as a team. He is an expert captain and she is an amazing chef and tour guide. They both made us all feel very safe always and comfortably at home in their home. They have the best client service I could imagine and this is saying something being on a boat together 24x7. Truly amazing and can’t wait to do another trip with them.

My husband and I had the pleasure of sailing with Captain Jaro and his First Mate/Chef/Partner, Anouk, on their ctamaran, Timaiao 2. What a first rate and lovely journey we had! They picked us up in Soufriere, St. Lucia and we proceeded to island hop for 10 days through the windward islands and end in Grenada.
Our 10 days of sailing could not have been better: Jaro is an experienced sailor and always had our safety and happiness as his first priority. As did Anouk - she is a gourmet cook and spoiled us terribly by creating lovely dishes and following our food preferences. She enthusiastically hiked and snorkeled with us, and both she and Jaro know the best stops for everything. The best part of the trip was our camaraderie with this couple! We feel that we will be friends forever. They are a pleasure to be with - joking and witty and HAPPY and pleasant to each other as well. We plan to find them somewhere in the Caribbean next year and join them again. We can’t say enough good things about this experience!

We sailed with Captain Jaro and Chef Anouk for eight nights, starting at St. Lucia, traveling south towards St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and back to St. Lucia. We had an absolutely amazing time on the boat with Jaro and Anouk! This was our first ever charter experience, and it will certainly not be our last!
Each night after a delicious dinner prepared by Chef Anouk, Jaro sat with us and reviewed the plans for the following day. He made sure to incorporate our preferences and did not disappoint! We found beautiful beaches and waterfalls, ate at the coolest local spots and enjoyed the entire sailing experience. It is clear that Jaro is an experienced captain and we were in good hands! By the end of the trip, we were more knowledgeable about sailing in the Caribbean, had many deliciously prepared local meals and gained two friends.
We undoubtedly recommend sailing with Jaro and Anouk for an unforgettable experience!
Thank you again for a beautiful trip!

Guests wrote of their 10 night charter in early December, 2023, aboard catamaran TIMAIAO 2 in the Grenadines:
We left from Grenada and embarked on a 10 day adventure on a 38 ft Catamaran that took us to the Grenada Underwater Statues as well as Tobago Cays, Bequia, Canouan , Union Island and St. Lucia.
We were taken care of on the Timaiao 2 by Captain Jaro and his partner and Chef Anouk! Incredible people that ensured our safety was paramount and that our food was delicious!
Some of our highlights were swimming & snorkeling with Turtles and sting rays, beach BBQ’s, mud baths, hiking to waterfalls and meeting all the locals at the different islands!!!!
If you are new to sailing like we were, start with this boat and let Jaro & Anouk teach you the ropes!!

Our charter on Timaiao 2 catamaran with Jaro Hollan and Anouk Sylvestre was fantastic. They were forthcoming, hospitable and caring. Jaro took us to his favorite places in Grenadines accommodating at the same time our desires and wishes, and Anouk adapted her dishes to a personal taste of each guest on board. We are very happy our hosts were the owners of Tiamiao 2 captain Jaro and chef Anouk.

My wife and I booked with Jaro and Anouk on their Lagoon 40 for 2 weeks. We boarded in Martinique on February 25th and ended in Grenada on March 11th. We visited St. Lucia with stops at Rodney Bay and Soufriere then sailed to islands of Bequia, Mayreau, Tobago Cays, Canouan, Union, Petit St. Vincent, Mopion, Carriacou, Round Island, and two stops in Grenada.
It was a trip of a lifetime, and I highly recommend these guys! Jaro's knowledge of restaurants, snorkeling sites, anchorages, customs and passport processing, and island contacts made our trip effortless. Anouk always had breakfast with coffee and fruit ready as well as lunch and dinner. She also was happy to snorkel with us and accompany us on various day trips. It is safe to say that we consider them friends and we plan on doing Martinique north next winter.

Hello!! On behalf of the entire group from the Czech Republic, I thank you for the sensational Caribbean cruise on catamaran Timaiao 2. We were looked after wonderfully. We really liked the professional and at the same time very friendly approach of Captain Jaro, who always adapted the cruise to both the current weather and safety, as well as our desire to see the most beautiful places of this paradise.
The route was always planned 1-2 days in advance. So we knew what to expect and what to look forward to, with multiple route options to choose from each time. The captain always tried his best to accommodate all our wishes.
Thanks also to the wonderful Anouk, who prepared fresh food on board every day, tailored to our tastes and needs. My vegetarianism wasn't a problem either, on the contrary, I checked out some of Anouk's recipes myself, because her food was really great. In conclusion, I would like to appreciate the incredible patience of both Jaro and Anouk, because sharing one catamaran for 14 days with our noisy, very cheerful, dancing, all-nighter group must have been difficult. Thank you for your incredible tolerance, friendliness and simply for allowing us to really enjoy it to the fullest.
Dear Jaro and Anouk, you are wonderful people, we liked you very much and we will miss you. The two of you, the Caribbean and the incredible comfort that reigned on the boat was great. I hope we haven't seen each other for the last time.
A cheerful group from the Czech Republic wishes you many happy voyages.
