Booking Information

1. Selecting your yacht

First, start by viewing the yachts on our Crewed Yacht page . This will present you with 10 - 30 of our favorite yachts in your category with prices. You will see a full color brochure of the yacht including: layout, crew profile, and sample menu.  There are also links to the yacht's virtual tour and letters of recommendation from our clients that have chartered this boat in the past.

2. Checking availability

Email or call Gail with your preferred sailing/cruising dates and the
yacht or yachts of interest that you have found on our web site. She is
able to answer any questions you may have regarding the yachts and crew.

Gail will then email or call you with the availability and full disclosure of
costs for those yachts and other similar yachts that may be of interest
to you.

Her insight on what yachts and crew that might be best for your group
can be very helpful. Many of our seasoned professional crews speak multiple languages. Gail knows the yachts and crews  better than anyone and can  help you choose just the right yacht for your Caribbean vacation!
