Truthfully, I'm not at all surprised. When Capt. Roy Hodges e-mailed to tell me the big news, I could not help but smile. The honors are well deserved, based on what I experienced during a few days of cruising in March aboard Atlantica in the British Virgin Islands. This beautifully maintained yacht has long had a roster of repeat clients, thanks to the fun and active style of charter that the crew offer. On the day when I win the lottery, I plan to become one of those repeat clients myself. One of the things I like most about Atlantica is that Hodges continually works to improve the charter program even beyond its established success. Earlier this year, he ordered a new 37-foot Intrepid tender, just to make sure the existing one didn't get run down before he could replace it for guest use. Hodges also recently completed his first charter with a newly updated crew roster, which is mentioned in the Fleet & Management Company News section of this month's CharterWave eNews. My sincere kudos to Hodges, his wife (and award-winning yacht chef) Stephanie Hodges, and the entire Atlantica team on their win at the Sint Maarten show. It is truly wonderful to see such a well-deserving yacht get the recognition that it deserves within the charter industry. Comments (0)

I was so busy reporting live from the docks every day last week at the charter yacht show on Antigua that I didn't get a chance to tell you the big news out of the competing show on Sint Maarten: the 135-foot Christensen motoryacht Atlantica won not only not only "Best Service, Ambiance, and Table Setting," but also the prize for "Best in Show."
