GYRFALCON is a 18.3 m / 60 ft luxury sailing catamaran built by Sunreef Yachts in 2019, offering accommodation and vacations for up to ten guests sleeping in five cabins. She has a crew of three skilled members on board.
The main deck aft is a spacious and shaded area providing a sunbed to starboard, an alfresco dining table to seat all guests in the centre and a fridge and grill to port along with a staircase up to the flybridge. Stairs lead down both hulls to the water and the hydraulic swim platform offers easy access in and out of the sea for the tender as well as the guests.
The foredeck can be accessed through the salon or using the side walkways. A double sunbed is placed to port and starboard in front of the salon, and a cosy forward-facing corner sofa and drinks table in the starboard nook.
Two net trampolines are placed on the bow and are an excellent place to exercise or nap in the sunshine.
The flybridge is shaded by canvas bimini, and this space has sofas lining the stern plus two large coffee tables for casual dining outdoors. The forward space has been left clear and can be used for exercise, while the helm controls are placed in the starboard forward corner with a double sunbed in front to port and starboard.

Crew Profile
Captain: Ted Egan
Capt. Ted grew up in chilly Chicago, on the blustery shores of Lake Michigan, but left for the sunny climes of South Florida for school. This was followed by 25 years in the heart of American viticulture, the Napa Valley. There, Ted was involved in making and marketing wine worldwide. Eventually fate lead Ted to the sailing capital of Newport, and he has since pursued his love of yachting and the water. The BVI fell onto Ted's navigational chart over 8 years ago and he has been providing a bespoke experience to his charter guests ever since. His intimate knowledge of the islands allows for a one of a kind island adventure.
Summer seasons will see Capt. Ted returning Gyrfalcon to the Mediterranean, while in the winters Ted and Gyrfalcon return to the sunny Caribbean.

Testimonials
Hope our paths cross again soon!
Our group of 8 proved to be no challenge for Tanya even though our group coordinator confirmed only 6 passengers for our charter. Tanya managed to prepare delicious meals for 8 with provisions for 6 every day without ever disappointing us. From airy, velvety scrambled eggs to perfectly crisp bacon and fresh poke bowls to scrumptious sweets — we all wanted to take Tanya home with us. Not only were the meals amazing, they were plated beautifully and not a minute later than when expected. What’s more, she aided the captain in mooring and prepping our group’s trips to land amongst other things, proving she is an expert multitasker. Towards the end our charter when she was done artfully preparing our meals and leaving the galley in pristine conditions, we had an opportunity to engage with her more than we had throughout the trip and confirmed what we already knew: Tanya is a sweet, talented, adventure seeker who loves exploring as much as we do which made it extra special. She is an asset on any vessel. As is the Captain we were fortunate to have: Jacob Albano.

Family Adventure Out Of This World
Took our family on our 1st charter and it was a blast. Learning to paddleboard (great video's), diving & snorkeling, great fun. There was an underwater snorkeling spot Capt Jake took us to and it was unbelievable. After long days in the ocean we enjoyed evenings in the bean bag chairs watching the sunsets with a well made sun downer. Chef's food was tasty and very well presented with a solid nod to seafood and italian cuisine which we love! Thanks for a fantastic week!
Great 2 Weeks!
We just got off after a 2 week charter and wow, it was fantastic! Capt Jake knew all of the best diving/snorkeling spots and even helped us learn to sail abit. Chef was amazing, food was outstanding - we are very picky eaters (whole foods kind of people) and he provisioned and prepared at an exceptionally high level. Yacht was great, loved the floating bean bag chairs and the underwater scooters which allowed for extended snorkeling/exploring (they last over an hour :) ) Thanks Capt, Chef & 1st mate, had a great time!"
