Mega Yachts are not known for their conservative consumption of fuel, food, or the finer things in life. If you want to charter a yacht with minimal carbon footprint, then charter a sailing yacht or a catamaran. But if you really want that mega yacht or super yacht and are concerned about your impact on the environment, there’s good news on the shoreline. Yacht Carbon Offset offers a simple solution, and it is easy to set up whether you are a yacht owner or a yacht charterer. For every ton of CO2 emitted by a yacht’s engines, they will offset this with a ton of CO2 emissions saved elsewhere in the world. “The savings are made through independently approved projects such as renewable energy (which Read more…

The newest cat on the block in the BVI is the catamaran charter yacht, Nauticat of Fowey, a 47′ Leopard with three queen cabins and baths en suite – ideal for three couples or a family sailing vacation of 4-6 guests. They are offering some great booking incentives, but first, let me tell you about the chef’s credentials. Chef Ali went to Leith’s in London where she gained a first class diploma in food and wine with the goal of cooking on super yachts around the world. Instead, she returned to Fowey (the city, not the cat) and diced the parsley at some well-known luxury hotels. She then went on to buy, renovate, and run the acclaimed water side restaurant “Zutshi’s at the Toll Bar” Read more…

Celebrate your independence with a mega yacht charter in south Florida or the Bahamas on the 130-foot Westport, Mary Alice II. The yacht’s layout is ideally suited for five adult couples as it has five king cabins – a rare feature on a mega yacht. Of course, if you have singles in your group, two of the cabins can convert to twins. I was aboard the yacht for a James Bond theme cocktail party in May and just loved the crew – playful, engaging, professional – all those things that a charter guest wants on a luxury yacht charter. And talk about independence – there’s plenty of toys for each couple to head out and do their own thing – wave runners, underwater scooters, kayaks, Read more…

Bahamas Mega Yacht Charter – At Last Chartering a Motor Yacht – The Exumas, Bahamas I woke up just after dawn with the sun making dapples on my half open blinds. Not known for being fast on the rise and shine, I’d left them open on purpose, hoping to catch some photos with the early morning light. We’d arrived at Shroud Cay in the Exumas after the sun had set, and I was eager to get my bearings – to see what glorious scenery might be surrounding us. From my large cabin ports, the water already shimmered a kaleidoscope of blue, indigo, sapphire, and tourmaline. Ahhhh – those famous Bahamas waters – so shallow that the colors are like nowhere else in the world. I Read more…
