DENISE ROSE, formerly Lady Sharon Gale, is a highly customized 112' Broward superyacht. Indulge in a yacht that offers classic styling, elegant interiors, an energetic crew and gourmet chef at a remarkable rate. This luxurious charter yacht offers unusually large spaces and lavish features. Imagine relaxing with a signature cocktail and panoramic views from the sundeck Jacuzzi. Enjoy the passing shoreline from the fully-equipped bar, or the roomy table surrounded by plush banquette seating.

Interiors are designed to be welcoming, upscale yet informal, stylish and comfortable. Rich, maple paneling with a soft satin finish is featured throughout. The new furnishings, fabrics and stone are of the highest quality and create an ambience of casual elegance.

On the main deck, charter families and friends will enjoy canapés and conversation in the newly furnished salon. Indulge in a signature cocktail from the bar, or be entertained with music and videos on the yacht’s updated system. Dine in the formal dining area, or al fresco with sea breezes and stunning views on the aft deck or sundeck. Gather together in the all-new sky lounge with JL Audio sound and LED lighting.

Guest accommodations are wonderful for extended families and groups of colleagues and friends. There are four staterooms with six berths positioned on the lower deck level. The primary stateroom features a king size bed, cedar lined closet and his-and-her facilities. The VIP stateroom occupies the entire bow area and is nearly equal to the primary. It features a queen size bed, plenty of storage and sizable bathroom with shower. Two guest staterooms are furnished with one double bed and one twin bed, so extra berths for children, single guests or staff. Staterooms are updated with new bedding, pillows, linens and towels.

DENISE ROSE is ideal for island hopping. Powered by Detroit Diesel engines of 1800 HP each, she reaches a speedy 18 knots and happily cruises at 12 knots. Come aboard in St Thomas USVI and enjoy cruising the beautiful Virgin islands.

Originally commissioned as Varsity Jacket and then becoming Strait Jacket, Lady Sharon Gale has a successful charter history, a brand new updated interior, and is ready to resume making memories of a vacation of a lifetime. Recently the name changed to DENISE ROSE.

On deck, Denise Rose offers an unusually large and multifunctional cockpit and swim platform which is original to the yacht's construction. All outdoor living areas are easily accessed via comfortable stairs that transition from the cockpit to aft deck to the fly bridge. The fixed hardtop provides sun protection while the Jacuzzi and bow areas have great sunning spaces..

Denise Rose's interior is beautifully paneled in satin finished maple throughout. The furnishings, fabrics and stone are of the highest quality. The decor is cohesive and comfortable, and provides a perfect combination of informal elegance. The main salon caters to practical and informal day to day living with comfortable furnishings, a formal dining area, living room area, and full entertainment system. Forward in the galley, she features the enormous Broward "country kitchen" that provides for a casual dining space and comfortable spot to converse with the chef.

Below, the primary stateroom features a king size bed, large flat screen TV with all of the entertainment options, cedar lined closet and his-and-hers baths. Two of the guest staterooms are identical, and offer a double bed in addition to one twin bed in each cabin. A VIP stateroom is unusually large, and features a queen size bed, very large and comfortable en suite bathroom with shower, and occupies the entire bow area.

He has added hours and experience ever since and now holds a 1600-ton USCG license.

CHEF MIKE LOMBARDI was born on Staten Island New York and grew up along the Jersey Shore. The tradition of his grandmother’s customary Sunday meal with all the love and energy that went into it, and a beloved beloved uncle who acted as chef for Team USA at the Olympic games were strong influences and inspirations for him. Although Michael favors rustic Italian food over all others, he is also a master of West Indian Caribbean Cuisine and of Sushi, plus he delightedly serves up lots of other creative fusion dishes inspired by the Americas, the Caribbean and Asia.
After a move to the Caribbean, Mike worked as a restauranteur and chef, and as well found himself hosting smaller dinner parties and catering. The word got around, and as his following developed, he and the world of yacht charter discovered one another. Today, working onboard yachts is his favorite job ever. Not only does he love having a great ocean view, he really enjoys creating exquisite meals for a small number of guests, and being able to tailor dishes to individuals.
Chef Mike works well with dietary restrictions and preferences, and is happy to customize menus for guests. He likes to anticipate guests’ needs and looks forward to seeing empty plates coming back…often followed by a round of applause! He works with the rest of the crew to make each meal pleasingly ambient, and feels his creations bring people together.
Before the charter Chef Mike can be found visiting the island markets for fresh local produce. Inspiration can be driven by a catch of the day, fresh, organic vegetables/herbs and engaging with local farmers. He strives to source sustainably and buy local wherever possible, following today’s trends toward healthier eating and desire for local ingredients.
For example, try his Caribbean Lobster Rangoon, Stoneground Mustard Encrusted Rack of Lamb and Creamy Mushroom Risotto, all created from fresh and local produce where possible.
When off charter, Mike can be found chasing a few waves with his surf board and exploring other nearby Caribbean islands.

Chef Haydee Collado (alternating chef with Mike):
Self-motivated professional with outstanding skills as a private/personal/yacht Chef. Superior leadership and interpersonal skills; ability to build rapport with customers and colleagues; innate ability to interact effectively with people of various cultures and backgrounds and succeed in high-pressure challenging and deadline driven environments. I bring strong supervisory food prep and organizational skills to the table. My values, hard work, commitment and vision, follow me in any situation.
