It is a brand new Matrix  design, very spacious, and is definately one of the higher end crewed cats we  have to offer for the BVI. Crew were lovely and the boat has all  new amenties, with lovely warm soft furnishings.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I also like  Aldebaran, a Lagoon 57. She has great crew, a husband and wife  team from South Africa. He is a dive master and she is now a qualified yoga  instructor so if the guests onboard would like a private yoga class she can  accommodate them! Diving facilities are onboard. Aldebaran won best  multihull yacht in the BVI boat show.&#8221;<\/em><\/ul>\n<p>From the St. Thomas Show, the yachts of choice were <a title=\"link to 5 star\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yacht_search\/yacht_view.php?pid=4583&amp;bbr=v39hg1zy8dkw363\">5 Star<\/a> and Viaggo.<\/p>\n<ul><em>&#8220;We both loved the  yacht 5 Star. It is a great Beneteau 50 and newer to charter. She is a 2 pax boat only, so a perfect  fit for a <a title=\"link to information about honeymoons\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yachting_content\/honeymoon_charter.php?bbr=v39hg1zy8dkw363\">honeymoon charter<\/a>, or a romantic getaway for a  couple.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Viaggo is motor yacht and is also brand spanking new, she really is a great boat. She is extremely  spacious for her size.\u00a0 A Horizon 74 design from Virgin traders, this is their  first crewed yacht, so still working on the  details, but watch this space and she should be on our site soon&#8221;<\/em><\/ul>\n<p>So, it&#8217;s all set to be another exciting season in the <a title=\"link to information about the Caribbean\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yachting_content\/caribbean.php\">Caribbean <\/a>with more news coming this way from the other Caribbean shows!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Stateside Boatbookings team have been cruising the boat shows of the Caribbean (still ongoing!) and at the recent British Virgin Island (BVI) and St. Thomas Shows they have formulated a list of their top picks for the coming season.\u00a0 <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/2008\/11\/28\/the-top-yachts-from-the-caribbean-boat-shows\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">  The Top Yachts from the Caribbean Boat Shows<\/span><span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":93,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-178","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-destinations","category-industry-shows","category-yachting-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.5.1 -
