HOW TO MAKE A SUPER VACATION "MAGNIFICENT."
Details:
SAILING vacations that are head and shoulders better than
the rest are planned with Quality Details! You automatically
know when one company gives you magnificent details. Good
details stand out like a sore thumb. We are professionals who
live, eat, drink and sleep magnificent vacations. This
preview is intended to provide a guide, when planning your first
or next adventure. These pointers can be used for all vacations
not just sailing.
FULL MOON
Here is a startling fact about private family vacations. Our company always suggest that our clients try to plan their vacations during the full moon period of each month. It is just that much more romantic and etches memories into all our minds that last forever.
IMAGINE looking at the sea bed at 10 pm, to see each grain of sand on the bottom 16 feet below? The moon splashes silver across your calm lagoon illuminating the nearby islands and showing us the bottom all that way down. Unless you are locked into fixed dates for your vacation, plan a full moon into your next private cruise. Imagine if this private cruise were on your wedding night? Even with the kids. There are normally 13 full moons each year so you can watch them when planning any vacation, but especially a sailing vacation. These are the best weeks of each year. Now lets get to the best time of each year to plan for your private cruise.
SPRING:
The best time of each year in the Caribbean is Spring! May, June, July , August. These months are the only months that are 'electric' above and below the water. The explosion of little silver bullets called minnows. These little silver bullets are the low end of the food chain and bigger fish & bigger fish, & bigger fish eat them.
There are thousands of individual shoals all over the place scattering from here to there making sure that they are not eaten, all are fighting for survival, this creates so much more action underwater during Spring. There is just more to see underwater during spring. Above the water the same thing is happening, all the gulls from Argentina have flown up to the Caribbean to nest and have their young, then return to Argentina in September.
April 7, each year marks the arrival of all the hooded gulls. Above the water there are more Pelicans, all the tropical long tailed terns and other sea birds fighting for their piece of the food chain. Flocks of pelicans flying in order slowly prepare to dive bomb these terrified shoals in order, rat-tat-tat-rat-tat. It is eerie during the winter when there are no birds in the Caribbean, there seems to be no fun happening. However the whales arrive in December.
The best one week during each year in the Caribbean, is the full moon periods of these 3 months. May, June & July! These individual weeks in May, June, July, are Spring and all have this high end activity, above & below the water, all 3 have gorgeous full moons included to each week! These are the best 3 weeks in the entire year in the Caribbean and they are out of season, so rates are low. August has another phenomenon and that is the coral spawning on August 14/15 which happens only at night just after dark. This is more for scuba divers, but it is information of interest about how the coral spreads its life form. These are the very best times to be in the Virgins for your vacation.
The full moon dates of all the other
months are the next best times to be on vacation with your family
or business group. Naturally Christmas, New Year, Birthdays
and anniversaries are high points, but they are special
occasions which remain different to the dates described here.
On most occasions we can link them all together.
Apprehension about sailing:
This is a true fear for many of us and there is a modern way to almost completely do away with this annoying sailing thing. We have to plan more thoroughly, to ensure that our family do not experience this car/sea sickness. We need to select the correct protected Location. Select your protected location well before you consider a vessel or even the quality of your captain and crew. There is no need to feel apprehensive about feeling seasick once these rules are applied. Many people now sail who never thought they could. As the youngsters say , "Just do it!" In answer to that phrase just plan with smarter details.
Location:
The single most important aspect of a sailing vacation can be divided up into 3 different categories, location, location and location. It does not matter how good your vessel or crew are, if you have the wrong location the quality of your adventure is diminished. The worlds best sailing location is the British Virgin Islands. The worlds best sailors call this area "The Mecca of Sailing." As a captain for 5 years in the BVI we called it "Peter Pan Land." To ensure a magnificent vacation, begin your gentle sailing at "Peter Pan Land!" "Is the quality of your private cruise worth that extra dollar to you?" Then aim for the best, try not to scare your family with a cruise by selecting a location that is second best! How do you know if this new location is second best? Talk to us, we have sailed the whole Chain of islands.
The British Virgins consist of 50-60 cays half of which remain uninhabited today. This is where mermaids and dolphins play. The beauty of this Peter Pan Land is the fact that all the islands can be seen all the time, so most sails are 1 hour or less, this makes for longer fun time snorkeling, scuba diving, water skiing, relaxing on a foot print free beach, or any one of many tropical things to do. Plus there are 5 aspects in the BVI that are not present anywhere else in the entire Caribbean chain.
However as professionals we assume that all our clients are unschooled in sailing, which means we are aware of all the various taboos that go with this wonderful adventure, so we would guide our clients towards the vessels that has taken this industry by storm. The new modern, comfortable, stable, luxury catamaran is recommended as your vessel of comfort and then we suggest the worlds most protected sailing area. This all leads to ensuring a wonderful vacation for the entire family. 62% of all our clients have never sailed before.
So it is you, the non sailor, who we are catering for. Let the sailors select the vessel they wish to have and you can select the comfortable catamaran for your family. The American vacation public, is slowly becoming aware of this new giant. We would be delighted to provide the best vacation of your life, just dare to be different this once and you would experience an unparalleled dream.
Crew:
Once your captain receives your food and
bar preference sheet he will call you personally to introduce
himself to you, this is when your personal chef goes over the
details of your food and bar requests. All final details
are discussed as well.
By the time you meet your captain and crew, you would feel you
know them well. The first thing that gets done on boarding is to
sit down and discuss a rough itinerary, this itinerary can be
changed at any time by yourselves.
Your captain and crew are one of the most important aspects of a sailing vacation, because it is with them that you and your family are about to share your annual vacation. Normally these vacations are 7-14 days at a time, so selecting a great captain and crew really makes a difference. Magazine & web page information is limited and does not provide quality details for you to make calculated decisions. This information does not relay the age of your vessel, or the character of the captain and crew. They all say wonderful things about their products.
This is where free customized information is provided to you from our company. Be careful of companies who provide lists of 20-40 vessels to select from. As professionals it is us who need to study the industry and then suggest selected vessels for you to choose from. The best companies will normally only offer 2-3 vessels for you to consider. These few vessels have been carefully selected from 700 hopefuls. Some agents will provide every possible vessel with all their rates for you to select from. What are you paying this agent to do?
Be weary of big lists of yachts to select from. It simply is not possible to select your captain & crew from a whole page of listed vessels. When confronted with this type of mass offering from agents, pick 2-3 from the list and the agent will say wonderful things about all of them you. What good is that? As your agent it is our profession to know this industry backwards, so when you provide us with your vacation details, we have an idea of the best 2-3 Teams & vessels to offer you, for your consideration. We know what every captain and all their crews are like. We maintain a dockside office in Tortola for up to date daily information. To keep our finger on the pulse of this industry, we attend the annual yacht charter broker boat shows each year. This enables us to meet the new captains crews and vessels who enter this market. From working with all the different owners and teams daily, we naturally offer the very best crews to you for consideration. There is no reason for us to provide our clients with second best.

Our captains meet our clients at the
airport in full uniform on arrival. There are no taxi rides
with our company. Within 11 minutes of meeting your captain
you can be snorkeling. Instant fun just add water! and the

done all of this and they would be delighted to share their
