As you look at our website, you’ll find the best and most convenient tab to be at the top, on the right hand side. Contact Us.

However, if you prefer to take your time navigating our site and getting familiar with our yachts, best destinations and array of charter options, here are some pointers to help you along.

Starting from the top of our homepage…

YACHTS The ‘yachts’ tab introduces you to all of the different types of yachts available. Our most popular fleets are  Sailing Catamarans and Motor Superyachts. You can click on the links to learn more about each one. By the way, yacht is just a fancy word for boat. Many people think that yacht refers to a power boat, but both sailboats, catamarans and power boats are all considered to be yachts.

Almost every yachting destination in the world has several options from all of the yacht categories,. The exception are the traditional gulets which are the domain of Croatia and Turkey. Once you enter our realm of yachting, you’ll no-doubt get a feel for what each yacht type offers and where, in the world, it would be best suited. Once again, we are always here to help if you’d like some guidance.

Do note that our online portfolio is not exhaustive – so CALL US at 239-896-7278  and we can update you on the latest changes and additions. We have many more yachts than the ones that are listed on our website

 DESTINATIONS: The world is literally your oyster here – our yachts explore the seas in just about every corner of our planet. We have divided our destinations into four major regions

·      The Caribbean & The Bahamas (the all-time yacht-charter favorite!)

·      Europe (both the west and east Mediterranean, as well as the Ionian and Adriatic, and the Baltic Seas in the north)

·      The Americas (South, Central and North America, as well as the Arctic)

·      The Rest of the World (here, we’ve collected some of the most remote and isolated destinations, including some of the most enticing archipelagos way off the usual route. Places like Raja Ampat, Fiji, and the Komodo Islands) 

Under each region, you will find a listing of all the destinations that we have in that area. On every dedicated destination page, you’ll find a description of the area, a photo tour, customized itineraries, a sampling of yachts available there, a map, and fast facts like best time to travel there, major airports, etc.

We first give you a comprehensive overview of each destination and paint a ‘yachting’ picture so you can swiftly determine if this is, indeed, the right destination for your client. And do remember that yachting is unlike traditional cruising. In the past, you may well have discouraged your clients from taking a mega cruise liner in the Mediterranean in August, for example, due to overcrowding during this month but this is less of a consideration on a private luxury yacht, where guests can explore the most remote and least-visited hubs, even at the height of tourist season, and still find dreamy deserted beaches and secluded coves.

CHARTER LIFESTYLE: Here you’ll find everything related to the lifestyle of yacht chartering, including all the top reasons why yacht-based vacations are AWESOME. You can discover more about the kind of charters available (family charters, inter-generational getaways, tandem charters, LGBT, scuba dive vactions, honeymoons, special event, corporate events and many more). There is even a dedicated tab for yacht cuisine, one of the most delightful aspects of private charters = all customized to the guests’ preferences.

CHARTER ADVICE: Are your clients bombarding you with general questions related to yacht charters? Here is where you’ll find many of the answers. Things like what does it cost, what’s included, is it a good vacation for kids, etc.

TRAVEL AGENTS: This tab is just for you – a sweet introduction into our business and long-held reputation for helping travel agents fulfill the needs and wishes of their clients. Here you’ll find a list of all that we offer to you, our cherished travel agents!

FAQ: Always trust the FAQ page to answer all the common questions you or your client may have – from seasickness risks to the logistics of chartering multiple yachts together, special dietary requests, itinerary options and (almost) everything else you can think of.

We’re always here to answer your questions and help you navigate your way, not only through our website but also through every one of our world’s spectacular seas.
