Many times some of the nicest power yachts will have a minimum number of nights for a charter over the popular December holiday period. The problem with that is the growing number of people who just can’t take a 10 to 14 night break.
There are two lovely yachts available for the December 20 to 27 timne period as their owners are using them for a shorter trip just after. Big Eagle can accomodate 12 — great for a family get together while Shear Fantasea is set for 8 guests.
Call the Regency team to find the right yacht for the right date for your Caribbean break!

Hurricane Omar passed south of the islands last night with the most intense part of the storm located in the Anegada Passage where there are no islands!
Reports for yachts located in Virgin Gorda and Tortola indicated damage on the order of chaffed dock lines.
The sun is back out, and work on the catamarans, sailing and power yachts in preparation for a busy winter season have resumed.
All safe & sound, the Regency team had no damage and we are thankful and all smiles!

A new trend in boat building is the amazing 40 to 60 meter sailing yachts that offer tremendous creature comforts along with the pleasure and stability of sailing. These custom designed and built yachts are pure luxury and are available this winter in the Caribbean or Asia.
Whether built by Royal Huisman in Holland, Perini Navi in Italy or Alloy in New Zealand, these mega yachts come in a variety of style — from traditional hand rubbed dark woodwork to light and airy modern minimalism — you choose the environment that you find relaxing.
With spacious deck space, plenty of different areas for lounging and dining so your group can separate during the day and full service, these sailing yachts are becoming a popular charter option for those who want to try the relaxed feel of the wind over the deck.
Ask a Regency broker for our best picks & start planning the details of your winter holiday!
