Scott Ferris
Captain
United Kingdom · English
Captain Scott over many years has done everything and every job on the Cuan Law except Chef. We owe him a huge dept of gratitude as he has been the foundation stone of the crew. He has trained up dozens of our crew over the years. Scott started off as steward on board and then, after getting his Divemaster rating, he led many dives in addition to his work as steward. Scott still loves to dive and will certainly do some dives with you whilst on board. He then moved on to Engineer as he had always had a great interest in, and aptitude for, the ship's machinery and equipment. He has fixed numerous problems, installed much new equipment and machinery and done many upgrades. He still likes to mess around below decks playing with machines! After a few years as Engineer and then First Mate, we promoted him to Captain and added the job later of Captain Trainer. Scott has done many, many charters as Captain, has as much knowledge as Owner Duncan, and really understands "The Cuan Law Way". He has a great sense of humor and is very fun-loving, and he runs a well organized and motivated team. A few years ago he married our then Chef, Kellie, whom many of our past guests will remember and future guests will get to meet as she is now back on board. Scott’s sister, Kim, is our Operations Manager.
Aeriel Thrasher
Engineer
British Virgin Islands · English
Ariel was born and raised on Tortola and moved to Thailand at the age of 12. Ariel joined us on board the Cuan Law shortly after he returned to the BVI’s in 2017 as steward and is currently very excited as he has decided to embark on training to become our engineer. Already - in just his first year year spent with us on the Cuan Law - Ariel has become a Certified diver and is working on getting his Dive Master. He’s also gained experience with cooking which occasionally helps remind him of his years in Thailand as he still spends some of his time in the galley. In his free time he enjoys skateboarding, surfing and being out on the water with friends. With his deep love for music he also owns a guitar that, unsurprisingly he doesn’t have time to play!
Reka Lukacs
Divers
Hungary · English, Hungarian
Reka Lukacs is a Hungarian girl from Transylvania, Romania who joined the Cuan Law early in 2018. She began her travels as an au pair in England where she learned English and ever since she got comfortable speaking it she just can’t stop traveling! She lived in Mexico where she was mesmerized by the beauty and magic of the underwater world so she became a diver. After that she continued her journey to Thailand where she spent a lot of time guiding the shark watch trips and got passionate about underwater photography. She got to experience a bit of Australia as well before riding the waves on a rigid inflatable boat to the dive sites of Mozambique. She already enjoys the shore hike/walks around the smaller islands of the BVI and exploring the big rocks at The Baths on Virgin Gorda. She is a fun loving, talkative girl who is all smiles and laughs and ready for games at any time :)

About the yacht
About CUAN LAW
Description as supplied.
Cuan Law is the largest sailing trimaran in the world, and she's not like any other liveaboard dive boat you've encountered. Custom designed for luxury liveaboard diving and sailing by owner/designer Duncan Muirhead in 1988, and refit and redecorated on annual basis, Cuan Law spans 105 feet in length and 44 feet in width. Two 103' masts spread 5,200 square feet of sail over the massive deck. Her size and the triple hull design provide extreme stability, both at anchor and while underway. The Cuan Law crew will make you feel right at home the minute you step foot onboard.

Those who enjoy active days on the water will appreciate the variety of equipment available, including kayaks, wakeboards, water skis, and floating mats.
At 32 m, she is longer than the typical sailing multihull found in the British Virgin Islands. She also hosts more guests than other yachts in this region. While her build year of 1988 makes her older than many alternatives, this character contributes to her presence on the water. Potential charterers should note that her weekly rate is higher than comparable vessels in the local fleet, reflecting the capacity she provides for larger parties.

Cruising the British Virgin Islands: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The primary charter season runs from December to April, characterised by steady trade winds of 15 to 20 knots and minimal rainfall. Christmas, New Year, and February through March are the busiest periods. May offers lighter winds, warmer waters, and fewer yachts. The official Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, bringing higher humidity and lower charter activity, with many yachts undergoing maintenance between August and October.
Practical tips
- Fly into Beef Island, Tortola (EIS) for a 10–30 minute transfer to local marinas, or St Thomas (STT) followed by a 45–60 minute ferry.
- National Parks Trust mooring buoys require a valid marine park permit and are restricted to day use only; anchoring on living coral is strictly prohibited.
- Dress codes ashore require covering swimwear when entering town settlements, harbours, and public buildings throughout the territory.
Anchorages to know

- North Sound, Virgin GordaA large, protected body of water enclosed by outer reefs and islands, offering multiple sheltered overnight anchorages and mooring fields.
- Great Harbour, Jost Van DykeA protected bay with sandy ground and numerous mooring buoys, providing a standard port of entry and base for exploring the island.
