She was acquired in June 1999 from the Sunsail program, where she spent 5 years in charter known as Travel With Tin Tin.  After a complete refurbishment, she was placed in bareboat charter with Barefoot Yacht Charters.  Based out of the Blue Lagoon on the island of St. Vincent, West Indies, she was renamed The Usual Suspects on April 1, 2000.  In October 2004, she was refurbished again and equipped with the new yellow/gray livery of Barefoot Yacht Charters.  In March 2007, she was sold and left the Barefoot fleet after seven years years of service.
