SHUBUMI is a 57-foot ketch that accommodates up to five guests attended by three crew, including Captain Alan Meredith and his wife Sue Meredith. The success of Shibumi has been in large part due to the collective experience of this husband and wife team. Shibumi offers three double guest cabins, the most forward of which can convert to four single beds if necessary. The saloon is large and comfortable (although dining is usually al-fresco in the cockpit), and there is plenty of upholstered sun-bathing area on deck. You can relax under the awnings and perhaps get into that book you have been wanting to read, or sunbathe after your dip into Shibumi's “swimming pool” — also known as the Aegean Sea! |

SKIPPER: Alan Meredith Alan has been running cruise charters in the Mediterranean for well over twenty years, and has run his own boats for well over fifteen! Although he has sailed Shibumi back and forth across the Atlantic to spend some time cruising the Caribbean, Shibumi spends most of her time in the Eastern Mediterranean. So Alan knows the waters around Greece and Turkey as well as any man and can take people to coves and bays that other skippers may not know of. Alan has a great love of jazz and classical music, and is also an accomplished photographer with a permanent exhibition running in London. Although his wife Sue is the cook, he takes a keen interest in food and oversees the supplies of wine on board. Speaking Greek and some Turkish enables him to get the best wines from all local areas of interest. |
COOK: Sue Meredith Sue left Yorkshire to live in Greece as a young woman, and took a position on a 90-foot sailing yacht as deckhand. It was there she learned the ropes (literally) and got bitten by the sailing bug! She has sailed on many yachts since then, in many places around the world, but the Mediterranean remains her favourite cruising ground. Having a keen interest in food, Sue decided to take the opportunity when it arose ten years ago to cook professionally on yachts. This being highly successful, she soon gained a reputation for her on-board cuisine. More recently she has taken an interest in Oriental cooking. Using Oriental ingredients that a few years ago were not to be found in this area together with ingredients brought from the U.K., Sue can create many interesting flavours. |
