Cherokee was built in 2000 by award-winning boat builders J & J Design and a year after buying her in 2008, Jouke refitted Cherokee radically, transforming her into a truly comfortable charter vessel, giving her a cutter rig and plenty of space for guests.

Cherokee spends her days sailing around the Shetland Isles, to Fair Isle and even makes the sail every few years to the Faroe Islands. From Ireland to the beautiful coast of Cornwall and Devon, she’ll cross the English Channel visiting the Channel Isles and the Breton coast before sailing down to Spain. From hidden fjord, secluded bays and breathtaking archipelagos, Cherokee strives to give her guests unforgettable sailing holiday experiences at sea.

These voyages are what are constructing her history – why not climb aboard and be a part of it?
