Jambalaya is the "dream come true" of Jeff Stevens. Jambalaya was launched in 2002 and is completely handcrafted from timbers found on the islands of Grenada Carriacou, Petit St. Vincent and Guyana.

She is the first Antillean schooner to be built on Carriacou in many years, once one of the great centres of wooden boat construction in the Caribbean. Crafted by the last master shipwrights on the island, she is an authentic and actual expression of the wooden ship building culture that once dominated the Caribbean.

Blending the best of traditional wooden boat construction with the latest nautical technology and outfitted to the highest standard, Jambalaya is a perfect combination of function, form and comfort.

Jeff Stevens is the captain / owner of Jambalaya who hails from the Uk. having been brought up on another small island, the Isle of Wight in England. His passion for all things maritime has taken him to a life on board for the last 30 years; sailing as a charter captain in the Mediterranean and Caribbean seas he has a wealth of experience to share.

Jeff has sailed the Windward and Leeward islands over the last 16 years on a variety of vessels from a 103ft Gaff Schooner to the locally well known Prout Catamaran Friendship II.

    
       
His local knowledge of the islands and the waters is second to none and he will maximise your experience of the sailing, the anchorages and life ashore, the best diving and snorkelling spots and of course where the reefs are and where they are not!

Jambalaya is blessed with a great crew with Ineke as the chef, her delightful personality, culinary skills and the experience of many ocean miles is good company indeed.

Tim as mate also has good sailing skills, a charming personality and the passion for fishing that keeps Jambalaya well provided with fresh fish on the table.
