Why should you charter a Luxury Yacht?

Chartering a Luxury Yacht is one of the best experiences on this planet. There is nothing that can beat the feeling of exploring the natural beauty of the world on board a luxury yacht with the ones that you love. A yacht provides privacy, comfort and space that you cannot always get on a vacation without booking into a private resort, making a luxury yacht charter a truly viable option for your next holiday. We believe that there is a yacht out there for everyone, no matter what your age, hobbies, taste or budget.

WHISPER is one of the most stunning luxury crewed monohulls available for charter. Accommodating up to 6 guests in 3 stunning cabins, this luxury yacht is perfect for couples who want to escape the stresses of everyday life and soak up the natural beauty and tranquility of the Caribbean Sea. Available for charter in the Virgin Islands, WHISPER would be the ideal choice for exploring the coves and private beaches of the BVI.

Thousands of people get married every year and toil about where to go on their honeymoon. A honeymoon is often represented by a paradise island with a newly married couple laying on the beach to themselves. Does this really ever happen without renting a private island in the Indian Ocean? With your own luxury yacht charter, you have the whole ocean at your beckoned call and can choose when and who you want to spend your time with. There is nothing more personal than being treated and looked after by a great crew who will do everything in there power to ensure you have the very best experience possible on board.

The Latest Water Toy for your Luxury Yacht Charter!

Water toys are an essential part to a Luxury Yacht Charter in the 21st Century. Ranging from tubes to motorised See-Doo’s and Wave Runners, water toys cater for the whole family like never before. One of the latest and most exciting that we have come across so far this year is the ‘Subwing’, which aims to redefine underwater fun by enabling the user to perform a host of thrilling acrobatics, while being in complete control of movement. The Subwing can be towed safely behind a boat up to speeds of 4 knots and is easily dismantled to a compact state, which is perfect for transportation and storage.

You may automatically associate water toys with crewed motor yachts but you must remember that most yachts, including Bareboat Monohulls and Catamarans will have a tender. One of our favourite Luxury Crewed Caribbean yachts is ICARUS, a Jongert 27m monohull, accommodating up to 6 guests in 3 stunning cabins.She has an extensive range of water toys, including water skis, wakeboards and tubes to keep the whole family entertained. She has a dynamic young crew with a can-do attitude, who will attend to your every need to ensure maximum enjoyment on board. She is available for charter from the Caribbean in the Winter and the West Med in Summer.
