Did I mention a customized menu and open bar?
What does an "INCLUSIVE" yacht charter in the Caribbean actually include anyways?
» YACHT | all furnishings, amenities, accommodations and enjoyment spaces
» CREW | Typically at least Captain and Chef and occasionally more dependent on size of yacht (mate, stewardess, etc)
» MEALS | A customized menu including breakfast, lunch, appetizers, dinner, hors d'oeuvres and dessert each day with varied options of service: plated, family style, multiple courses, wine pairings, etc.
» OPEN BAR | Each yacht provides a standard “ship’s bar” and will accommodate specific requests within reason
» YACHT AMENITIES, WATER EQUIPMENT & TOYS | Some yachts will include scuba diving as well
All provisioning, cooking, cleaning, and boat operations will be taken care of by your crew.
The Chef will work hard to individually design an enticing menu for all meals of the day based on your communicated preferences, and your crew are inspired to create enticing drinks, flavored waters and cocktails for your enjoyment.
These charters allow you to fully sit back, unwind, relax and soak up all that the destination has to offer.
✨ The ultimate chance to create a lifetime of memories with your choice companions without stress and responsibilities

DESTINATION HIGHLIGHT | The Pitons, St. Lucia
From several hundred feet below the surface of the sea, jutting almost 3,000 feet high, Gros Piton and Petit Piton are two strikingly majestic spires on the Western coast of St. Luica, looming over a scenic bay.
From any angle - a visit to the Pitons is stunning, however, arriving by sea with the opportunity to sleep in the bay below is incomparable.
⪼ Wake to the sight of the Pitons towering over your head in the morning.
⪼ Paddle the bay taking in the sights, the white sandy beach, and your yacht
⪼ If you’re up for the challenge, conquer physical exertion as you ascend 2200 ft of vertical gain in 2.9 miles.
⪼ Experience awe standing near the summit looking down on from where you came, and view St. Lucia in all directions from a sky-high.
⪼ On the return to the yacht, enjoy a refreshing beverage or bite with a stop perched on a volcanic ledge with an expansive sight overlooking the bay and peaks.
⪼ Kick up your feet and pop open a local Piton beer on a float lounge with a swim off the stern - as hors d'oeuvres are served on the aft deck, dinner is prepared by your private chef and you watch the sun set into pink clouds over the sea. (Watch out for the green flash!)
The Pitons - two volcanic conical spires rising side by side from the sea (Gros Piton at 2618 ft and Petit Piton 2438 ft high), linked by the Piton Mitan ridge.
This volcanic complex includes a geothermal field with sulfurous fumaroles, hot springs, coral reefs with hundreds of species of sea life, and a varied tropical forest, home to hundreds of species of plants.
How often do you get to reach 2500 feet directly from sea level? I invite you to comment below with your favorite or most memorable peak or summit.

✨That feeling of diving into crystal clear tropical waters ✨
Opening your eyes underwater - and looking up towards the sunshine - seeing a beautiful ombre of blues leading down to the natural ripples of sand on the sea floor.
A sea turtle swims by followed by a blue tang.
——-That feeling ——-
✨P U R E B L I S S ✨
The water temp - not too cold and not too warm.
✨E L A T I O N✨
When you resurface, floating on your back with your ears just beneath the surface watching the clouds float by and listening to the harmonic pop pop, knowing life teams beneath you in the sea - aquatic organisms, crucial to our environment and to our lifecycle.
Take a moment out of your day to close your eyes - put yourself right there.
I took that swim this morning…
I soaked in that feeling. Ready for my long travel day home…ready to snuggle my family.

Let's have a heart-to-heart about facing fears ✨
…something that's been on my mind lately as I work with clients to plan their dream yacht charter vacations. The waters of uncertainty can be daunting, and believe me, I've been there.
Now, I get it — the hesitancy is real, we love control, we’re the architects of our own stories. But, what if embracing the unknown is the key to unlocking unparalleled experiences and our most cherished memories?
Having spent 17 years orchestrating bespoke yacht charters, I can attest to the magic that unfolds when we dare to explore beyond the familiar.
Yacht charters – will my vision be misinterpreted or our diverse expectations and preferences be understood? Sometimes, allowing someone else to navigate could lead to the discovery of hidden gems.
The control and the choice of travel planning isn’t lost , but instead envision a journey enhanced :
🔹 by experts deciphering your unique travel vision
🔹 stress and overwhelm are released
🔹 where every detail is crafted to match your taste
🔹 where adventure intertwines with luxury
It's not just a vacation; it's the ultimate travel experience painted by your desires.
Now, if you want to chat dreams, I’d love to hear from you. Drop a message, share your travel visions, your cravings for adventure and address any concerns. Let's explore together and plan a yacht charter that mirrors your essence, and enhances your travel opportunities.
✨
Prioritize enjoying small peaceful moments to yourself can allow experimentation of thought. These moments enhance :

In a world where culinary excellence and sustainability intertwine, a taste revolution is taking place at sea.
Yacht chefs have embraced the art of loving locally sourced produce and foods in whichever destination they are located, transforming dining experiences into gastronomic journeys that captivate the senses and nurture the environment.
The allure of sailing through pristine waters and exploring new destinations has always enchanted the adventurous at heart. But now, a new dimension has been added to this nautical escape—
🌿 The passion for locally sourced ingredients
As waves gently lap against the hull, yacht chefs are meticulously curating menus tailored to each guests' preferences that celebrate the bounties of each region, tantalizing taste buds with flavors that speak of the land and sea.
The commitment to using locally sourced produce goes beyond mere culinary trends; it is a pledge to support local communities, preserve traditions, and embrace sustainability.
From vibrant farmers' markets to hidden coastal farms, these culinary artisans scour the region for the freshest ingredients, cultivating relationships with local producers who share their dedication to quality and authenticity.
💫 Dishes emerging from the yacht galley as a masterpiece, crafted with precision and care. Chefs have become alchemists, transforming humble ingredients into culinary delights that showcase the natural environment and heritage of the surrounding landscapes.
This synergy between yacht chefs and local producers is more than a passing trend; it is a culinary love affair that elevates the dining experience to new heights.
Through their commitment to local sourcing, these culinary visionaries offer guests an opportunity to connect with the soul of a place, experiencing its flavors, traditions, and natural abundance in every bite.

My life exposure into sailing and yachting all began in a foam covered bassinet made by a local PNW sailmaker.
I grew up sailing with my family in the Pacific Northwest on a Seaborn 30, a sweet little 1948 30' (6' beam) wooden double ended sloop. My dad poured love into restoring it to accommodate our family both as an accomplished racing boat and minimalist cruising boat. We cruised and raced throughout the seasons of my childhood (yes the winter too! I recall staying warm wrapping up in the spinnakers) and reaped rewards of the natural beauty offered by the surrounding waters.
🐋 Orca and whale encounters swimming alongside while we sailed at an arms length distance
🌊 Endless seafood fresh from the catch- salmon, oysters, crab, clams, mussels and shrimp galore. One summer I recall that we had more oysters than we knew what to do with, my dad was making oysters for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thank goodness I still love them!
🌿 Remote island explorations and natural treasures - beaches, tide pools and hikes
With much gratitude, these beginnings led me to :
⚓ a career in luxury yachting
⚓ endless enjoyment on the water with my family and friends
⚓ and a continued passion for travel and to protect the sea
