Experiencing
a Caribbean sailing vacation on a crewed yacht charter
gives you the opportunity to explore in a way that land
based vacations can’t. A vacation tailored specifically
to your design. Your chef will prepare delicious meals
to your preferences and you will decide the itinerary
with your Captain. Unlike a sailing vacation on a cruise
ship, there’s no need to queue up or eat on schedule
or share your space with crowds of strangers.
Indulge
yourself in the freedom of a crewed yacht charter –
no sailing experience required, just relax, unwind and
enjoy sharing this unique experience with your friends
and family.
This is your yacht, time and
space to do with as you wish.
The yacht you charter is maintained and run by a permanent,
professional crew, usually a couple who are captain
and chef.
The qualified skipper will know the charter area well
and together as a team, they will enjoy making sure
that you have the vacation of a lifetime.
Matching your party to the most suitable crew is an
important part of our service.
Gourmet
Dining
Knowing that fine-dining is an important part of any
vacation, the chefs make enormous effort to produce
stylishly presented gourmet meals to suit individual
requirements and preferences.
Whether you need a special diet catered for, or just
have a passion for mangoes, your chef will tailor-make
a menu to suit your tastes.
And, your captain will discuss with you a suggested
itinerary based on your preferred activities and locations
which can be adapted at any point during the charter.
Watersports
A crewed yacht charter is ideal for sailors
and non-sailors alike to relax and enjoy time
together with sufficient space and activities
available to not have to worry about getting
on top of each other.
Crewed
yachts include snorkelling equipment and a wide
range of water toys from kayaks to water-skis.
Several
boats also include scuba diving, either with
a rendez-vous dive company or under the careful
guidance of the crew, who will be certified
to at least Dive Master level. The scuba diving
in the British Virgin Islands is amongst the
finest in the world offering a spectacular range
of wreck and reef dives to suit all skill levels.
If you like blowing bubbles, then scuba diving
in the BVI must be high on your agenda.
Accommodation
Some
people think that sleeping on a boat will involve
a hammock and no fixed abode for your toothbrush.
Not so on a crewed yacht charter.
Obviously the larger the yacht, the larger the
staterooms. Generally speaking, however, catamarans
offer the most spacious sleeping accommodation
and have most of the yachts we represent have
ensuite bathroom facilities. The crew will keep
these clean and tidy throughout your charter
and your linen will be changed midweek.
The yachts are presented to an extremely high
standard and much thought and effort goes into
styling the interior furnishings.
Linens, towels and beach towels are all included
in the rate.
