The 2009 winter yacht chartering season is beginning to take shape. Some yachts have left the charter industry and new yachts have come into the industry , many with seasoned crews. Here are a few of the yachts:
42… The Meaning of Life, the Universe, and Everything, , aka “42…”, an Alex Simonis design, at 56 feet. The name is from the book (and film), “A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, and if you are a numerologist, perhaps there is something to it all… At the helm of 42… we have John Fisher and Katherine Mullins, formerly crew aboard Arabesque. They and 42… will be available through out the Eastern Caribbean this summer, so don’t hesitate to ask about locations.
Scorpio, a Sovereign 52 sloop, with Richard and Jan Hough aboard, Scorpio. She can accommodate one couple or a family of 3 in the aft suite (with a small “pilot’s cabin” adjacent to the master). Scorpio will be based in the Grenadines, but the crew are happy so move the yacht around to other venues. She will also be offering diving, and her Special Introductory Offer is 15% off her listed rate (that is, US$5525 instead of $6500 for two).
Aristocat 2, a 40 ft Fortuna catamaran to the fleet as well. She has young, American owner/operators Tony and Melody Eads aboard. She too presents a great bargain at $8000 for 6 guests (1/2 board – plus dinners ashore).
Bleu Azur, a Fountain-Pajot 46 catamaran . She has Canadians Yves and Marie-Michèle aboard, and will call the BVI homebase.
Yia Sou, a Cheoy Lee 104 motoryacht. She is in the north for the summer season. She will return to the Caribbean in the Autumn.
Now is the time to secure your charter for the coming Winter Season. We are happy to answer any questions.
