In this issue, we bring you news of the best crewed charter yachts from Sharon and Lisa's visit to the recent shows in the Virgin Islands (yes, it's in their job descriptions to attend - and it actually is hard work getting to know hundreds of yachts!). We also highlight one of our specialty charters - a honeymoon charter in romantic Tahiti.
We hope this gets you dreaming of your next time on the water, and please contact us for any and all questions about these, or other charter opportunities!
Enjoy!
Hot Virgin Islands Yachts
The Hottest Yachts from the St Thomas and Tortola 2011 Yacht Charter Shows!
 The St. Thomas and Tortola 2011 Yacht Charter Shows each boasted a magnificent exhibition of catamarans, monohulls and power yachts open for viewing. We boarded more than 100 charter yachts, made careful note of interiors, exteriors and toy chests, crew personalities, captain’s favorite itineraries and chef’s specialties.
We can say with confidence that whatever your charter requirements - active or laid back activities, inshore or offshore adventure, disco dances or night dives - we are intimately familiar with the perfect yacht and crew for you.
Below are the award winners from the shows, but there are of course many other outstanding yachts that offer something for everyone, and some great deals too!
And the Winners are....
