HISTORY

Shilo II had several owners before we bought her 2001 in Tutukaka/ NZ.
After sailing the boat to Samoa it got extensively refurbished before going into charter-service in 2004.
A sailing catamaran of this size is the ideal day-charter boat in our Samoan waters; a lot of deckspace, stability and a shallow draught, the ideal boat for YOUR trip while in Samoa.
The colorful sails have been sponsored by "Telecom Samoa", now DIGICEL.

We operate Shilo II with a crew of two, but our guests are most welcome to get involved in sailing, whether you have sailing experience or not.
"Shilo" is a hebrew word and means "to the one who deserves it". We bought the boat with this name.
