Amazing Charters

03/11/2024

SHOW TIME! ⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️🚤⛵️⛵️
THE CREWED CHARTER INDUSTRY 102 ;-)
Now is the time for the Caribbean boat shows!

This is a busy time for the brokers, as we go from boat to boat to interview the crews and inspect the yachts. This is where we see the pros and cons of new designs, the use of indoor and outdoor space, the size of cabins, maintenance, smell, etc.
The quality of the boats is getting better and better, so a lot of things are up to design!

However - in my book - when I have established the quality is as it should be, it is all down to the crew. You might have 10 catamarans of the same design, so which one do you want? The one where the crew fits the needs of the clients, of course! So, give the broker all the right information when you contact him/her including your budget..

Are you a family of 3 or 4 generations or a group of friends in their 40's who want to hit all the party spots? Is it a group of serious divers or expert kite-boarders? Even though most crews are very diverse, there are always things we do better than others.

Nov. 8 - 11, about 60 crewed yachts will be gathered in St. Thomas, and about the same amount 12 - 15 Nov. in the BVI.

Now it is easy to get to the BVI year around :-)

American Airlines will offer uninterrupted flight service to the British Virgin Islands throughout 2024, even during the historically slower travel months of July to October. This marks the first time a major carrier has maintained continuous operations to the territory year-round. The BVI Airports....

GREAT OFFER IN THE BVI 🙂

If you are only up to six people, this is a great idea! Jen & Sam on Starfish have put their heads together to make your trip even more special 🙂

For you who have not yet been to Anegada, it is the most northern of the islands in the BVI and VERY different from the others. This island is totally flat (the highest point is 24') and has incredible beaches, shallow salt lakes, flamingos, and mountains of conch. Anegada is also very famous for its lobsters!

So Jen and Sam are offering:
FREE sleep-aboard
FREE tour of Anegada
$500 CASH INCENTIVE!, to help with flights
This offer stands for all available weeks of 2023 including Thanksgiving and Christmas if booked before September 30 🙂

30% off in Feb. and 20% off in March😎
. . BUT YOU GOT TO ACT NOW!

This almost brand new 50' catamaran has just joined the fleet and wants to fill up their calendar.

It is based in St. Maarten, so you get to see a new destination if you have already done the Virgin Islands.

It is a new design from Sunreef - so new I haven't even seen it yet - but I have seen the 60' version and that is just stunning with so much room you won't believe it.

Older cats are usually half as wide as they are long, but this one is 50' and an amazing 30' wide!

Needless to say, I have not met the crew either, but the skipper is a Norwegian Viking so I can easily do an interview in my own language!

Let's fill up their calendar!!! Some of you missed out on the last offer, so don't let that happen again 🤥

UP-DATE on BVI vs. USVI 🏝🏖

THINGS ARE LOOSENING, BUT IT STILL AIN'T EASY

Once upon a time - and that is only 20 months ago - the yachts could travel freely between the BVI and USVI, but even though it is getting easier with the ferries, the crewed yachts are still stuck where they are.

One thing is the Covid related issues, but the BVI is also making it very difficult for foreign flag boats to do charters there with other regulations, demanding work permits, etc. that they are not issuing anyway 🙁

The short strokes are, that until further, I highly recommend, that if you know you want to get to the BVI, choose a boat that is based there (and of course I'll help you with that) and either fly in or take the ferry from St. Thomas. And if you are happy to charter in the USVI, charter a boat that is based there 🇻🇬 🇻🇮

If the regulations ease up, no worries, you can board in St. Thomas and sail to the BVI, but don't bet on it for some time to come.
On the positive side, it is often much more comfortable to take the ferry, because it can be a longish and uncomfortable sail from St. Thomas to any of the BVI.

And don't forget that a private yacht vacation is still a lot safer than boarding a cruise ship with your 5000 best friends 😜👯‍♀️👩‍👩‍👧👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

Unfortunately, this database isn't entirely up to date on where the boats are based . . . but I am, so let me know if you want to go⛵️

NEW RELAXED COVID RULES FOR THE BVI

YES, IT IS GETTING EASIER 🙂

From October 1 you fully vaccinated visitors just need a negative Covid test within 5 days of traveling and a test on arrival. No more "gateway formulas", so that is good news.

Please see the particulars below 🙂

As you can see, yachts will also be able to pick up and drop off in St. Thomas, well at least in theory 😉 However, I don't recommend counting on that until we see how it works in real life, but how hard is it to take the ferry or a water-taxi, to spend a great vacation in the BVI?

WELCOME BACK 🙂

ECTATIC REVIEWS OF EXTA-SEA 🤩🌟⭐️
THIS IS WHY YOUR FEED-BACK IS SO IMPORTANT :-)

Some of the lovely members of this group just returned from a week on-board this 46' catamaran and they had a fantastic time thanks to the wonderful crew Mike & Leslie. (In case you still haven't done your first charter, the crew really is super important!)

Here are some of the comments:
What did you like most about your charter? Hard to say, it was all so awesome. I loved the food and of course, the setting. I Iiked Mike and Leslie's attentiveness and they were easy to hang out with. And it is a great bonus that they are divemasters and provide scuba excursions!

How would you describe the food and drinks? Some of the best food I've ever had. 5 star dining every day for all the meals! Mike was an attentive and excellent bartender and our glasses were never empty.

Of course, I love to hear that you had a fantastic trip when you get back from charter, but I also learn from you. Even though I have known Mike & Leslie for years, I didn't know that she is such an amazing cook 👩‍🍳
