Best value charters

Monday, August 18th, 2008

What do the US & British Virgin Islands have to offer charter guests? Protected waters with numerous islands so that seas are calmer & you are never out of sight of land. This draws the largest number of yachts available for charter so you have a wide variety of excellent yachts and crews and can pick just the right one for your group. In areas that are more off the beaten track you might only find only one or two options of a catamaran for six as an example.

The largest benefit of this big fleet of charter yachts – motor yacht or sail, mono hull or catamaran, budget or mega yacht — is that that much competition keeps the rates lower than you will find in other parts of the world. Plus the Virgin Islands are the only location to offer truly inclusive pricing on charters — so they offer the best value and the opportunity to budget your vacation plans in advance.

Start planning now for a winter VI  charter for the best selection and prices — you’ll be glad you did!

Peak Holiday charter dates — book now!

Friday, August 15th, 2008
Clients who have chartered know that planning early pays off & now is the time to commit to a yacht charter over the December holidays. Many larger yachts will have a premium rate and/or a two week minimum, but that is really the way to enjoy this popular family time of year. Whether everyone arrives for the entire time period, or some of the group comes and goes, this custom vacation option is a great way to have quality time without distractions.
Consider Argyll as an option. This lovely yacht was created for a yachtsman who wanted to continue his lifetime of yachting and so was designed to be wheelchair friendly and handicapped accessible with an elevator between levels, wider doorways and boarding systems to get on & off the yacht comfortably.
Her traditional styling and top notch condition make Argyll an excellent choice for a winter Caribbean holiday. Argyll’s rate is $150,000 a week plus expenses, there is a two week minimum over the December holiday period.
