Stella and Iona - This trip was a once in a lifetime opportunity . . . we thought, but we are now planning our next time! You ladies made this such an amazing experience!! Stella . . . you planned the best spots (even in the rain), navigated beautifully and always had a smile! Iona . . . your food is an artistic creation! Every meal was "my favorite" until the next. We have enjoyed every minute and wish you all the best! Please visit us in Colorado!!

From the moment we met we knew we were in capable hands. We are so impressed with your confidence, competence and professionalism. We loved every stop - like waking up on Christmas Day! Stella, you were always at the ready to answer our questions and tote us where we wanted. And Iona, we’ve never been so delighted by mealtime. Your skills in the kitchen were out of this world! Our bellies will be grateful forever!

To you both - a dynamic duo - capable, confident and so very IMPRESSIVE.

Our next trip will only require two things - STELLA & IONA

​PS we’ve been to many amazing places across the globe… this was by FAR our BEST family vacation - because of you both!

We are so appreciative of the care you planned and executed our holiday adventure with. The table settings were extraordinary, the moorings, just right, the route selected to ensure fair winds and following seas, the meals planned and executed to many dietary restrictions, with. Most importantly, you both bring a quiet confidence and smile, making even the most timid sailor comfortable. Thank you for that most. Our family trip was a huge success because of you. Your unique skills, talents and personalities made this year's present one we will cherish for years to come.

FAQ

We’ll be pleased to assist you in deciding which activities suit your personality and interests the best. Your crew and captain are experts. They are familiar with the locale and the greatest things to do. They can give advice on where to go fishing, diving, or snorkeling. They are aware of the locations of the remotest beaches. They can give advice on the top boutiques, eateries, or nightclubs.

We’ll provide you a food choice survey to fill out so we can figure out what kinds of meals you and your visitors would like to eat while you’re away. Along with your preferences, the form will ask about any dietary requirements, medical restrictions, or food allergies that any members of your party may have. Prior to your departure, you will also get the chance to ask any questions of a crew member. The team will next make your favorite cocktails and fresh, gourmet meals for the rest of the voyage.

Running costs are not included in the rates given for motor yacht charters and must be paid separately. Catamarans for sailing must be all-inclusive. The costs are determined by the number of people and cover all meals, drinks (including the typical ship’s bar), fuel, ice, and aquatic activities. Taxes, dockage fees, and communication expenses must all be paid individually.

Food, alcohol, fuel, dockage, port fees, and any other costs associated with the charter are considered running costs.
Typically, the operating costs represent 35% of the base charter fee. A 35% Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) will be paid in advance of your departure, giving the crew time to stock the yacht. A detailed breakdown of all costs will be provided to you at the conclusion of the charter. If there is still a balance, you will get a refund; however, if expenses are higher than the APA, you will have to pay the outstanding balance before disembarking.

Florida’s tax ranges from 6-7%, depending on the port of embarkation, while the Bahamian tax is 14%. The charter cost also includes tax.

What to anticipate if you have to cancel your vacation is covered in your charter agreement. To protect yourself in the event that unavoidable circumstances force you to cancel your trip, we advise buying cancellation insurance.

luxury yacht rental is made to meet all of your requirements for the entirety of your journey. The skipper and crew will do everything possible to meet and exceed your expectations. The captain’s first priority, however, is the security of his crew and the boat. He has the last say on anything that could affect the safety of passengers.

Yes. Although not required, leaving a tip is encouraged, especially if your yacht rental experience left you feeling especially satisfied. At the completion of your charter, you should give the captain a 15% gratuity.

Once you’ve decided on a yacht, we’ll place an “option” on it, securing it for 48 hours while you finish the paperwork. Then, a yacht charter agreement must be read and signed. We are happy to answer any queries you may have and thoroughly explain the terms. You must send your completed contract together with a deposit for the charter.

50% of the charter cost is required as a down payment; however, if there are less than 30 days to departure, the whole amount is due. The deposit is made via bank wire transfer and is kept in an escrow account by the principal agent of the yacht until just before the charter date. You have secured the yacht once we get your signed contract and down payment.

We’ll start collaborating with you to customize your charter. Your food and exercise preference survey will be delivered to you. We’ll set up a phone call for you and the crew. We will assist you in planning all charter-related details, including transportation in a limousine and flights.

If you are renting a motor boat, the APA funds and the remaining balance of the charter are due 30 days before the start of your trip.
