Charteryacht Boat Shows Virgin Islands 2009

New boats! New Crews! It was quite a show this year.

Around 130 yachts presented themselves in their customary finery to strut their stuff.

The show was held in both the British and US Virgin Islands. Both territory governors welcomed us to their mansions to honor the contribution this industry makes to the areas. We were very grateful for the recognition, as indeed, this industry pours tons of money into the coffers of these islands every year from happy charter guests. There were many special offers given to us for our "tool box" to bring even more clients to the Virgin Islands. Nothing like enticement of a special price to raise the interest level of a snow-bound Northerner like the vision of Paradise at a reduced rate!!

Just look at this food!! Even the smallest yachts with crew whose specialty is two passengers serves gourmet food, succulent local fishes and on and on.

And look at this crew! Just one example of eager happy faces with high energy bodies who just can't wait to make your vacation everything you hoped for and more!

So the next step is for you to make a date: Gather up your family and/or friends, and choose a good time to come on down. Or what about just the two of you on one of my new one-couple boats? Take a look here: www.viewyacht.com/synergy. Glen and Debbie are fabulous and the boat is too!

Or what about free rendezvous diving on Saga Boy II (up to six dives for all qualified divers up to six) www.charteryachts.info/sagaboytoo . This is a very generous offer!

It has never been a better opportunity as the economic pinch has dictated lower pricing and deals of all kinds. So drop me an email or make a phone call, and I will make it all happen for you!

Fair winds and happy sailing!

Virgin Islands Chartering UPDATE, Summer 2009

Summertime--Hot, so hot....in so many places, there is little wind and in other places way too much wind. Sometimes it feels like a blast furnace, doesn't it? Humid, sticky summer, a time for recreation for the whole family but it's also time to start.....

PLANNING YOUR CHARTER FOR THE FALL, WINTER AND SPRING BREAK!

Yes, there are still spaces open for Holiday charters, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah and the very busy vacation time called the annual Spring Break. Seems people are taking their time to decide on when they would like to come on down to the Virgin Islands so, spaces are open.

Excluding the year end Holidays, I have tons of specials to offer families, groups of friends, couples...Once we have a chance to meet on the phone or via email, I will interview you to find the perfect match for your party. Of course, with an eye to the best value offered.

And what about all those regattas lined up for the Spring?? Visit the BVI Spring Regatta!! Normally this exciting race is scheduled to run from around mid-March into maybe April. Dates are being finalized now. I have been in the Drake Channel for many years and saw this competition up close and personal. So beautiful and exciting!

And the famous Rolex Regatta, staged out of St Thomas Yacht Club. Every year there is some spine-tingling racing going on both in the US and British Virgin Islands' waters.

Take a look at this yacht close hauled and hauling you know what! (Picture compliments of the Rolex Regatta management)

I have many new yachts which have joined the fleet, several showcased at the Spring Charteryacht shows in the US and British Virgin Islands.

Aren't they pretty?

Beautiful yachts, spiffed up and shiny, just waiting for you to step aboard and start the party! Motoryachts, sailing yachts and Catamarans galore!

Here's a new yacht, one of many. Just ask me about this one: Souls Calling, 50 feet of beauty and 28 feet across. Is this a platform for fun? I think so. Take a tour and make sure you click on the the whale video!

And how about this one?? Catamaran Tonina.

Lovely and new staffed by great owner/operators Karen and Pete who will tend to your every wish with charm and delight. They were voted the best Catamaran under 57' at the annual Tortola Charteryacht Show in 2008. Well deserved. She is beautiful.

To boot, their rates are rolled back to 2007 rates PLUS an additional $1000 your week on board.

So, folks, in your best interests, there has NEVER been a better time to charter a yacht in the Caribbean, especially in the Virgin Islands a noted world-class destination for holidays to beat them all!

I look forward to your comments, and your contact. Let's put something together.

DON'T YOU THINK YOU'D LIKE TO LEAVE THE WORLD'S NEWS AT LEAST FOR A LITTLE WHILE RIGHT ABOUT NOW?

You know, it will be there when you get back (if you choose to leave of course....)
