A
Look at Luxury Yacht Charters
by Richard Romando
Luxury yachts are floating hotels at your
command. They vary in length from less than 100 feet to over 300 feet,
and a week’s charter is priced between $ 50,000 and $ 250,000. They can
accommodate up to two-dozen guests and half the number of crew.
Besides the lounge on the deck, furnished
with comfortable chairs, sofa and table, a typical luxury yacht has
spacious air-conditioned state rooms for the guests, each fitted with
an independent bathroom. The yacht also has a kitchen and a
well-stocked bar to cater to the palate of the guests.
Once you charter a yacht for your dream
vacation, you will have direct contact with the chef and captain in
advance of your trip that will let the crew know your favorite foods
and beverages and your favorite things to do.
Living in style aboard the yacht, one can
spend quality time with friends and family, read a book, listen to
music, watch TV or just laze around. One can also take part in such
pleasurable activities as swimming, snorkeling, beachcombing, sunning
or just sipping a cool drink in the shade of the cockpit.
The company that gives you the yacht on
charter can also make arrangements on the islands you visit for other
activities like fishing, golfing, hiking, horseback riding, jogging,
mountain-biking, parasailing, picnicking on a secluded beach,
jet-skiing, scuba diving, water skiing, windsurfing and so on.
You need not worry about getting lost at sea
or running into rough waters while on a yacht charter vacation. You are
in the safe hands of the captain, who is equipped with radio set,
global positioning system (GPS) and a satellite phone.
A luxury yacht charter is ideal for a group
of people that can be part of a family, a close-knit group, a
special-interest group or an exclusive club.

A
Look at Mediterranean Yacht Charters
by Richard Romando
Come summer, it’s time to go sailing in the
Mediterranean.
Home of the Gods and the mother of ancient
civilization, the Mediterranean region boasts of over 100 miles of
waterfront, dotted with more than three-dozen harbors.
The French Riviera provides classic cruising
conditions, unhindered entertainment and luxurious lifestyle. There are
more than 3,000 restaurants along the waterfront that lie under
hillsides heavy in yellow mimosa and which stretches inland to the
snow-capped peaks of the Alpes Maritimes.
Greece is a perfect holiday destination for
water lovers and sun worshippers. With some 1,500 islands, Greece is an
ideal sailing ground for yachtsmen. The cruise provides a feast to the
eyes with white washed houses, colorful fishing villages, crystal clear
waters, sandy beaches and waterside taverns.
The Greek coast offers style and glamour,
particularly in its vivid nightlife. World-famous celebrities are known
to visit some of the restaurants, clubs and bars on the Greek islands.
Greece has a long, hot, dry, brilliant
summer when the Meltemi wind blows down from the north across the
Aegean Sea, cooling the temperature. The Meltemi also accounts for the
brilliant clarity of the Aegean light. Summer winds are less constant
and not as strong in the Ionian, which is generally a quieter sea.
In Ionian, the prevailing wind is the
Maistro, which picks up at midday and dies away early in the evening,
making the Ionian Islands idyllic for leisure cruising, where the sea
temperature averages 77-degrees.

Caribbean
Yacht Charters
by Richard Romando
The Bahamas and the Virgin Islands are two
of the most popular destinations in the Caribbean for yacht charter
vacation seekers, particularly during the winter. The Bahamas contain
700 islands covering 150,000 square miles of tropical sea with
approximately 5,000 square miles of land. The islands have flat coral
formations and some low rounded hills.
Each island of The Bahamas has a unique
personality. The cosmopolitan Nassau city has duty free shops, golf,
museums and restaurants. There are bright, white sand beaches on the
island.
If you love sea diving, the coast of San
Salvador offers challenging and exciting adventure. The Inagua National
Park offers the spectacle of nesting flamingos and other exotic
wildlife. The Exumas offers a 100-mile-long cruise along a string of
pristine cays.
The main cruising islands in The Bahamas
are: The Abacos Islands, Bimini and the Gulf Stream Islands, the Berry
Islands, the Exuma Cays chain, Harbour Island, Eleuthera and Cat
Island, the Out-Islands, Grand Bahama, Freeport and Port Lucaya, Nassau
and Paradise Island.
With more than 40 islands and cays, the
Virgin Islands in the Caribbean archipelago are ideal cruising ground,
particularly for the honeymooners. They are ideal for yachting and
water sports as well.
To 60 miles east of Puerto Rico, the British
Virgin Islands comprise of rugged mountain peaks silhouetted against
blue Caribbean Sea. The islands have such unusual names as Prickly
Pear, Fallen Jerusalem, Great Dog and Pelican Island.
Many of these islands are uninhabited and
reachable only by boat, idyllic exploration grounds for those who seek
solitude.
Christopher Columbus discovered the
Caribbean islands in 1493, who named them after St. Ursula and her
11,000 virgins slain by the Huns in the 13th century.
Honeymooners prefer the Virgin Islands
mainly because of their quiet, pristine beaches. The yachts chartered
by the honeymooners offer personalized and discreet service,
magnificent accommodations and excellent dining.
Some couples even prefer to have their
weddings aboard the yacht or on the Virgin Islands.

The
Need for Well-Trained Yacht Crews
by Richard Romando
The safest and most convenient yacht
charters are on board yachts that have a well-trained, experienced
crew. One just leaves to the crew all the worries about the handling
and safety of the yacht and about catering to your needs. If you want a
tension-free, hassle-free dream vacation on the sea, go for crewed
yacht charter.
Since you do not assume any responsibility
or liability for the vessel, there is no security deposit required for
chartering a yacht. Additionally, you will get all the comforts and
extras such as air conditioning, TV/VCR, cameras, GPS, water toys, if
you opt for a crewed yacht, which you won’t get if you go for a
bareboat charter.
Moreover, if you go for a bareboat charter,
you need to either hire the services of a professional captain or hold
the necessary license to handle the yacht. Besides, you need to also
handle your cooking while navigating.
Prices for a crewed charter start at $1,050
per person per week for a better yacht with better equipment and
gourmet cuisine served to you just as it is in the world's finest
restaurants.
The crew tends to the yacht and the guests.
They help you to plan your itinerary, prepare your land excursions,
prepare and serve your meals and drinks, show you the best places for
anchoring, snorkeling and swimming and introduce you to finer yacht
handling. These are the advantages of crewed yacht charter you cannot
find in bareboat charter.

Yacht
Charters Provide a Luxurious Escape
by Richard Romando
Ernest Hemingway, the Nobel laureate author
of “Old Man And The Sea,” loved to go on fishing expeditions off the
Cuban coast in a sailboat that was well stocked with rum.
James Bond, the legendary British spy, loved
to spend intimate moments with his newfound female companion on a yacht
near a remote island in the Caribbean.
Away from the maddening crowd, in complete
isolation, is what the fictional celebrity, and the celebrated
fiction-writer, sought after every hectic assignment – Bond chasing
enemies and Hemmingway chasing real-life action.
In real life, the rich and famous all over
the world often spend their dream vacations in a boat they own, in
faraway seas beyond the prying eyes of the paparazzi and the
scandal-mongering newshounds.
Honeymooners, famous or not, also love being
alone.
And then, there are the CEOs of mega
corporations that hold business-cum-fun excursions on the high seas in
luxury motor yachts to strike deals and seal takeovers. Or, just to
enjoy their earned holidays.
Dream holidays on a well-equipped,
well-stocked yacht are not just for the rich and mighty; they are
within your reach, too. Just charter a yacht and sail off to your dream
destination.
You can pick your own route, set your own
pace, chose your own cuisines, chalk out your own itinerary, make
stopovers whenever you feel like, and be the master of the yacht until
you return to the shore.
A crew yacht charter vacation is like
staying in a villa where you are pampered by a staff, but is unlike a
hotel where you are stuck in the same location for the entire week.
Your yacht moves on to a new location at your whim and fancy.
A charter yacht comes with a captain and
cook. The price, which ranges from $8,000 to $250,000 per week, is
linked to the size and type of the yacht and the services they provide.
The price is inclusive of the charter meals and wines.
