Crew
Your hosts aboard Emily Morgan are British husband and wife team Anna and Bones Black. Together they have sailed over 80,000 miles aboard Emily Morgan, including 10 Atlantic crossings and a circumnavigation. They love showing guests the best of the Caribbean, including a few secret spots.
Both Anna and Bones have sailed from an incredibly young age. Anna’s first sailing experience was at 18 months old. Bones cut his teeth in the notorious Bristol Channel. They are both experienced sailing instructors equally happy cruising deserted islands or racing round the cans and love to impart their wealth of knowledge to a willing audience.
Bones has a passion for imparting his love of sailing to people of all ages. He ran a training centre for many years teaching sail and power and has a natural talent for entertaining children. Bones is an RYA/MCA commercially endorsed Offshore Yachtmaster. Having maintained his own boats from an early age and with a background in aviation, Bones turned his hand to successfully running his own boat repair business. This ensures that Emily Morgan is always very well maintained.
Anna has sailed both yachts and dinghies all her life, growing up on the Hamble River and gaining an RYA dinghy instructors’ qualification at the age of 18. She is an RYA/MCA commercially endorsed Ocean Yachtmaster and did her first Atlantic crossing in 2004. She inherited a love of cooking from her mother and has a culinary repertoire spanning the globe, with an emphasis on using fresh, local ingredients.

New Years 2021/2022 Family Charter on EMILY MORGAN
Right off the airplane and onto EMILY MORGAN - a dive into paradise with a brilliant sunset ... and our adventure began. Sailing up the coast, swimming and playing basketball with the locals, exploring the rain forest & paddling & swimming every day. Bet of hospitality from Bones & Anna. My wife and I love not having to worry about things and our kids enjoyed all the activities. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely boat. Hope to catch up again with someday. Sincerely, M Family

Our entire crew loved this trip. Anna and Bones are the most engaging hosts on their beautiful yacht Emily Morgan. They are excellent sailors but even more extraordinary is the way they can size up what is most important for each guest and how to fulfill that individual interest with out slighting anyone. Example - teaching Glenn everything he wanted to learn or try out. He is like a sponge on a boat just loving every detail underway and at anchor. Bones and Anna included him in every task. His fianc loves to relax and enjoy ambience and special canaps. Everynight Anna and Bones catered to her requests with grace and elegance while simultaneously teaching anchoring techniques to Glenn. Each guest came home feeling like they were the only ones on the boat and best friends of Anna and Bones. Our itinerary could not have been better suited for our insatiable desire to sail long transits and snorkel multiple times a day. In addition, they allotted time for guests to enjoy shore activities. Our food was plentiful and delicious. Breakfast and lunch as a buffet with multiple gourmet choices. Dinner was a delicious plated meal. Anna was able to meet all of our special dietary requests with a smile and special attention.
Emily Morgan is immaculate and well maintained. We were frequently the boat most photographed in a harbor.
We all left the boat fully relaxed but sad to leave our beautiful yacht and lovely hosts. It was a true vacation above and beyond any expectations.

'Such fun' - fabulous week re-established my interest in sailing and significantly increased my confidence. Guest comfort and enjoyment Anna & Bones priority. A highly recommended experience.
Paul and Pauline M Feb 2014
We have now settled back in to the home routine - but think everyday how lucky we were to have the holiday of a lifetime. The yacht was fantastic, everything one could wish for. You were brave beyond words to allow us to help and helm your pride a joy. You went well beyond what we should have expected- the perfect hosts, on hand every minute of the day, provided perfect and safe sailing, took us to unbelievable paradise spots with snorkelling to die for!! Our every need was delivered, food at a quality that we could only dream of!
Roger and Ann M Feb 2014

Thank you both so much for your hospitality on Saturday. Edmund and I were made to feel very welcome, the food was fantastic and we really enjoyed the day.
Gerald H Sept 2011
Thank you so much from all three of us for a really great day out on Saturday. From the moment we got on board it was all brilliantly organised and the delicious food and drink seemed to just appear seconds after one or other of you had been actually on deck sailing the boat! It was all extremely professional and we had a great day out.
Neil M Sept 2011
What a wonderful day you gave us on Thursday! We enjoyed everything about it: your splendid boat, the sail before the racing, the relaxed way you conducted the whole day, the lovely lunch and tea and the grandstand position to see the racing. It was great to be there in the thick of it and then come home and see the coverage on YouTube. Brilliant!
Fantastic holiday!
