What Yachting should be!

For your pleasure from New England to The tropical islands of the Caribbean, Kaleen has everything you should expect from a luxury charter yacht.

Whether cruising alongside the rugged beauty of the New England coast or resting in the pristine, tropical waters of the Caribbean, Kaleen represents a uniquely luxurious charter experience. A first-class vessel from stem to stern, the 110 foot Broward motoryacht received a million dollar refit in 1996. Newly updated from the top to the radar arch to the keel, she now offers the most idealized private vacations on the water with endless recreational possibilities, including a 18 foot tender from snorkeling, fishing or forays onto shore. All of this and you haven't yet stepped inside.

KALEEN has comfortable cruising accommodations for eight. guests in four staterooms, each featuring private baths laid with Italian marble and white-washed oak walls. Her master suite includes a king-size bed, Jacuzzi and true his and hers bathrooms. The VIP suite on the main deck and the two additional staterooms offer queen-size beds. The remaining stateroom, with a single and two bunk beds, presents a convenient option for families with small children.

Kaleen's Crew

Captain Peter Grocock has always had a passion for the ocean, he started his yachting career in the Australian marine industry as a mate on the trawling yacht "Inscription" in the northwest of Australia operating in the Indian ocean, training fisherman in deep sea trawling and later as a mate on the sportsfishing boat "Tsunami" operating in the Great Australian Bight in South Australia. In his younger years growing up on the Murray river he was a water skiing and jet ski instructor for Murray Water Sports and also was an active member of the Royal Australian Surf Life Savers with whom he holds the Bronze Medallion since the age of ten. He lives to surf and does so whenever the chance arises and has a passion for writing music and playing the guitar. He is a fun loving person with much energy and enthusiasm to share.

As Captain, Pete feels extremely fortunate to be in the Caribbean operating such a beautiful vessel, working with professional people and having the opportunity to make the moments unforgettable for anyone who steps foot on M/Y KALEEN.

Mate: Steve Ivkovic grew up on the water front docks of Melbourne in Australian and watched the start of the sydney to hobart yacht race every year which gave him a fondness for the ocean since an early age. Playing amateur league football for Williamstown he carved out quite a name for himself in his position as a ruck / rover but he chose to travel rather then play professional football and headed to America. While back/packing through San Diego he met a Captain who offered him some day work which eventually let to a full time position with a sports fishing fleet based in San Diego. Now with over 9 years background in the industry on fishing boats and Mega Yachts Steve has traveled half way round the world and feels at home on the ocean, making your stay on Kaleen all that more safer and enjoyable.

Chief Stewardess: Andrea Zawislak is from Seattle, Washington. She has a passion for nature and the outdoors and photography and spent a lot of her youth hiking the trails of Mount Rainer and trekking the coastlines of her home in search of the perfect picture. Prior to yachting Andrea was a waitress for one of Seattle's finest water front resturaunts and also a nanny for five years with one of Seattles elite child care agencies, with her constant smiles and fondess for children it makes her one of Kaleen's assets with group or family charters.
