| It's like
combining the best features of a cruise ship and a luxury
resort. You'll travel to a different, unspoiled destination
each day with a degree of pampering and personal attention
you may not have experienced before. Say good-bye to
crowds, waiting in lines, and pre-set itineraries. This
is your own private yacht, with a variety of amenities
and water sports to enjoy at will, and a launch to take
you ashore whenever you please.
Destinations
Worldwide destinations are yours to choose from.
Whether your choice is the Bahamas,
Caribbean
with its warm inviting sun and crystal-clear waters,
the Eastern
or Western Mediterranean steeped in history and
culture, the splendor of the Pacific Northwest or New
England, or an exotic destination in the Pacific or
Indian Ocean… the World is Your Playground.
The Yachts
You can choose from sailing
yachts, catamarans
or mono hulls, motor
yachts sized and priced to fit any lifestyle and
budget. With hundreds of yachts available to choose
from and a wealth of first-hand information to draw
upon, your broker will know which yachts are right for
your particular needs, whether it be a small intimate
vacation for two on a 40-foot sailboat, or a larger
group aboard a 300-foot super yacht.
Service
Your professional crew will take care of all the details,
so you can relax and unwind.
Your personal chef will plan each meal based on your
specific requests. Your skipper will personally guide
you to your chosen destination, knowing where to find
the most secluded beaches, the quietest anchorages or
the liveliest evening entertainment.
Activities
Many yachts offer a myriad of water sports. Scuba diving,
snorkeling, kayaking, water-skiing, wakeboarding, fishing,
windsurfing and jet-skiing are just a few of the many
activities you may find at your disposal, and your captain
and crew will be well-versed in operating this equipment
and can offer instruction on many levels.
Activities are not limited to those found afloat, though.
You will have ample opportunity to visit ashore to take
part in shore side activities as well, just as you would
be able to do should you stay in a hotel.
