About VALINOR

VALINOR is a 52 ft Bali Catamarans sailing catamaran accommodating up to 10 guests in 5 cabins. Built in 2026. Cruising areas: Caribbean Virgin Islands (BVI), Caribbean Virgin Islands (US), Caribbean Virgin Islands (US/BVI).

VALINOR is a 2026 52’ Bali 5.2 sailing catamaran designed for big groups and even bigger island days, combining generous volume with Bali’s signature open-plan living. The iconic up-and-over “Bali door” opens the salon directly to the cockpit, while a forward door connects the interior to the solid foredeck lounge, creating a seamless flow from bow to stern. Above, the oversized flybridge offers generous seating and panoramic 360° views for everything from morning coffee to sunset cocktails.

Accommodating up to 10 guests, VALINOR offers 4 queen cabins and a 5th cabin with bunks (queen on bottom, twin on top), creating a comfortable layout for families and groups of friends. With approximately 1,241 sq. ft. of usable deck area, she feels more like a floating beach club than a traditional charter yacht—bright, spacious, and built for effortless island living.

Giorgio Aranzabal Delgado, Captain

Giorgio Aranzabal Delgado

Captain

Italian · Speaks Italian, English

Captain Giorgio "Gegio" Aranzabal Delgado
Born and raised in Italy, Captain Giorgio Aranzabal Delgado—known to most as "Gegio"—proudly embraces his South American roots. His path into yachting began unexpectedly during a post-graduation trip to Australia, where just a few days at sea completely changed the direction of his life. Inspired by the freedom of the ocean and the opportunities that came with it, he left behind a future in architecture to pursue a career on the water.

Since then, Giorgio has dedicated himself to building a successful career in yachting, combining hard work, adaptability, and a continual desire to learn and grow. For him, life at sea is about much more than sailing—it's about teamwork, responsibility, and creating memorable experiences for every guest who steps aboard.

Known for his approachable nature and strong work ethic, Giorgio enjoys working closely with both guests and crew to create a welcoming atmosphere while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism. His goal is to ensure every charter is seamless, enjoyable, and filled with lasting memories.

Away from the water, Giorgio enjoys expressing his creativity through drawing, painting, and pottery. He is also an avid cyclist, and if he's not aboard a yacht, you'll likely find him out on his road bike. For Giorgio, cycling offers the same sense of freedom, adventure, and connection to the world that first inspired him to pursue a life at sea.

Georgia Ghent, Chef/First Mate

Georgia Ghent

Chef/First Mate

Chef Georgia Ghent
Chef Georgia's passion for cooking began at an early age, preparing Sunday roasts by the time she was five years old. Raised by a mother whose childhood spanned the Far East, South Pacific, and Middle East, Georgia grew up surrounded by an extraordinary variety of international flavors and cooking techniques. Long before she realized how unique that experience was, a globally inspired approach to food had become second nature.

As soon as she was tall enough to reach the stove, Georgia was cooking for family and friends, eventually progressing to hosting dinner parties. At just sixteen, she took her first job in the food industry, beginning a journey that would develop into a lifelong career. Years spent in professional kitchens provided a strong culinary foundation before she discovered the perfect way to combine her love of food, travel, the outdoors, and hospitality through yachting.

After training as a yacht chef and refining her skills while cooking aboard yachts in Greece, Georgia has continued her culinary journey in the Caribbean. Her menus are inspired by the diverse flavors and techniques she has experienced throughout her life, thoughtfully combining fresh ingredients with creativity and careful attention to every guest's preferences.

For Georgia, cooking has always been about more than preparing great food. It is an opportunity to bring people together, creating memorable moments around the table through genuine hospitality, generous spirit, and beautifully crafted cuisine that enhances every charter experience.

Guest reviews

Crew Review from Previous Yacht

Captain and Instructor Giorgio (Gegio): Beautiful smile and charming manner from the time we met, through even the most detailed and serious instruction. Gegio demonstrated expertise regarding the yacht, sailing conditions and the ASA instructional material. He was knowledgeable and completely well prepared. I would call him a master in all aspects of this trip. Impressive for a young man. We had a mix of students, some with very limited experience on large sailboats. Gegio was patient, clear and precise in his instruction, and always focused on safety. We sailed hard and everyone grew in confidence daily. We all learned to manage the helm under power and sail and while anchoring, and I observed that Gegio was particularly effective in helping us manage the sails with care, with attention to the mechanical stresses at play, and safety considerations. Gegio knows how to take care of these powerful sailing machines and his students! Gegio made this a wonderful and productive week! Truly beautiful. Gegio, you are going have a great career in the yachting industry. I highly recommend you to any future employer. Thank you to Gegio and to Sailing Virgins. Great program!

Crew Review from Previous Yacht

I spent a week sailing around Saint Martin on a catamaran with Gegio, and it was an outstanding experience. He strikes a great balance between technical skill and a relaxed, approachable teaching style. Whether at the helm or working through docking and sail handling, his instruction was clear, practical, and tailored to the crew. He kept things safe and structured without ever making it feel rigid. What stood out most was how much everyone improved over the week. Gegio created an environment where you could ask questions, try things out, and build real confidence handling the boat. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to develop their sailing skills while enjoying a great week on the water.

Crew Review from Previous Yacht

Superior Instruction & Personalized Service

Gegio was an amazing instructor. He displayed a great balance of business and pleasure throughout the trip: business, in that his instruction was professional and earnest and helped underscore the lessons we sought to learn; pleasure, in that he balanced those lessons with humor, ample time for fun and relaxation and a well-deserved glass of wine! Gegio’s knowledge and confidence at the helm immediately put us at ease on the boat. His “no drama on the boat” policy was adopted at the start – and certainly was appreciated by parents with two moody teenagers in tow. I really appreciated how Gegio kicked off the trip by asking why each of us was there and what we wanted to achieve. It was clear that he listened closely to our responses, as it seemed he tailored our individual experiences from that point forward. Gegio’s teaching style is patient, safety focused, and hands-on. He was open to all questions and always gave in-depth answers, explaining the “why” behind how things are done, helping us to gain a better understanding. He was also generous with words of encouragement, offering “bravo” increasingly each day as we honed our sailing skills. The time and effort Gegio put into teaching ensured that we all truly earned our certifications, making us all more competent, confident sailors.

Crew Review from Previous Yacht

Thanks for showing us sailing the BVIs!

Gegio is an awesome instructor and captain…tons of energy, loves to spend time getting to know the students, seems to know people everywhere we go. Thanks for teaching me a whole lot this week and being a fun guy to hang out with!

Crew Review from Previous Yacht

Learn and have fun with Gegio!

Gegio made our sailing trip to the BVIs unforgettable! I’m not a super experienced sailor and he was very patient and explained things very well. His energy is unmatched and I wouldn’t have wanted any other captain! If you are looking to learn AND have fun, go with Gegio! Top notch sailing trip!
