There were some wonderful yachts at the VI charter shows this year! ReAction — a personal favorite of mine won best in show in Tortola — Ian and Polly do a fabulous job and the boat looked brand new & sparkling. Power yacht Analisa with Ruth & Peter welcomed brokers for the first time and their previous experience shows as this yacht looked very good with numerous upgrades.

In St. Thomas, Viaggio arrived in the nick of time, a brand new Horizon 74 power yacht, she offers an inclusive rate which many clients prefer when chartering in the relatively close waters of the Virgin Islands. For sailing yachts, La Dolce Vita looked all set to have guests as well as the catamaran Felicia with her new crew.

The talk of many crews was branching out to the Spanish Virgin Islands of Culebra and Vieques to try the longer sailing options, great snorkeling and an area that sees relatively few tourists.

The charter shows were a great success, now to find the surface of my desk before the December Shows are time to view larger yachts that have just arrived from New England and the Med!

For clients who want to take less than a week’s vacation Amaryllis is offering a 2-5 day USVI package and waiving the 10% surcharge for charters less than 6 days. No time is wasted clearing customs as they stay in USVI waters. Amaryllis can pick up on St. Thomas or St. John making this ideal for clients who want some time on the water and some time ashore at a resort or villa.

Here is brief description of where you can sail:
Explore USVI National Park - No Passport Required!
The best kept secret in the Virgin islands is the island of St. John -
2/3 National Park with secluded anchorages, beautiful beaches, great snorkeling, historical ruins and great hiking trails. Snorkel in secluded Newfound Bay, kayak in the Hurricane Hole wildlife preserve, visit exquisite Salt Pond Beach and beach comb dramatic Drunk Bay, hike to the only petroglyphs found in the Virgin Islands (a sacred pool used by the Taino indians), explore 200 year old sugar mill ruins, or shop for unique items in Cruz Bay. St. John has it all and no time is wasted clearing customs in foreign ports.

Plus there are a number of smaller cays & islands — Lavango, Hans Lolick, Great St. James worth visiting as well.
