On Thursday, March 17, our on island Manager, Pamela, received an email about a 38' Lagoon named NAMASTE which had been stolen in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas about two weeks earlier. Pamela passed this information on to several contacts on the island, incuding our captain and chef. It was only twenty minutes later, at 10:32 am when Captain Tofer called Pam with an incredible story! The stolen yacht was anchored right beside Sweetest Thing off Water Island, still in the harbor of Charlotte Amalie. Hurried phone calls to the insurance company in Germany were made. Photos taken and sent to the insurance company. About 2 1/2 hours later the owners' insurance rep from the BVI arrived and secured the yacht with Capt.Tofer's assistance.
Another happy owner - thanks to Pamela and our attentive captain!
And Namaste (pictured above) has happily been returned to her rightful owner.
