Charter Clients Booking Early for Christmas, New Year's

Regency Yacht Vacations sends word that about half the charter yachts in its fleet are already booked for Christmas, New Year's, or both in the Virgin Islands and Caribbean.

The announcement is indicative of what I'm hearing from a number of leading charter brokers, that there appears to be a return this winter to early bookings for the winter holidays--especially among the best-known charter yachts that have repeat clientele. The calendar now reads early November, and quite a few of the top charter yachts in all size ranges are already showing bookings for Christmas and New Year's.

In the Regency Yacht Vacations fleet, boats that are still taking inquiries for Christmas or New Year's (only a few still have availability for both) include Antiquity, Baraka, Corus, Double Exposure, Dream Ketcher, Freedom, Jet Stream, Legacy, Magewind, Nauticat of Fowey, Surprise, Tachyon, Tanga Langa, Windstar, and Zephyrus.

Any reputable charter broker can tell you more about any of these yachts or help you book them for their remaining dates of winter holiday availability.
