Catamaran Luxury Yacht Vacation perfect for Couples

10/04/2015/in Blog /by Yacht Charter Specialists

Imagine the perfect yacht for several couples to share during a luxury yacht vacation in the Caribbean; it has to be a Catamaran. The configuration of most Catamarans will give you four, five and even six double staterooms that are identical in layout. This is great when you want to charter a luxury yacht with your friends, there’s no arguments over who will stay in the master suite, and it’s really easy to split the bill.

On your Caribbean crewed yacht charter you can expect to be pampered with excellent knowledgeable crew, great cuisine and your very own floating private bar. You will cruise around the islands, swim in crystal clear warm Caribbean waters, snorkel with turtles, and enjoy the water sports that are provided for you aboard your yacht. Because Catamarans have more storage space you can expect to have the use of kayaks, standup paddleboards (SUPs), a large dinghy with waterskies, wakeboard, kneeboard, tube and some floating mats. So plenty of toys to keep the whole party entertained both in and out of the water. And the best news of all is that all of these water sports are included in with the yacht charter price.

Great desserts freshly prepared for you!

What most clients new to chartering don’t realize is that when they charter a luxury yacht they also get a Chef aboard that will provision the yacht with the food that you and your family like to eat. The Chef will freshly prepare every meal for you, and the cuisine will be what you like to eat, the way that you like it prepared, how good is that! So you can sit back, relax and enjoy dining under the stars aboard your luxury yacht charter.

When you book your charter you will be issued with a yacht preference sheet and on this document you inform the Captain and Chef of your preferences for both your luxury yacht vacation, but also of any allergies and what you like to eat and drink whilst on vacation. The yacht crew will then tailor your vacation just for you.

So next time that you think about booking a vacation why not try a crewed yacht charter instead, and enjoy a boutique hotel afloat with your very own private Chef!

Just spotted this Whitespotted Filefish

Whitespotted Filefish with white spot phase

Whitespotted Filefish normal phase

One of our favorite Caribbean charter yachts has just reported seeing this Whitespotted Filefish. When the fish swims normally they have no spots; they are olive green on top and orange in color below. However when the fish feels threatened their whole body suddenly has white spots all over them, hence how they get their name. They tend to move around the reef top in pairs. These fish are quite curious and will let you approach them if you move very slowly with a nonthreatening movement. They can grow to a maximum length of 18 inches when adult.

If you are interested in Reef Fish of the Caribbean then check out our earlier posts on Scrawled Filefish and Queen Trigger Fish.

You could enjoy spotting these beautiful fish whilst aboard a Crewed Yacht Charter in the Caribbean. You’ll be amazed how many fish there are to see!

Kneeboarding behind your Charter Yachts dinghy

Worried that the kids may get bored on your crewed yacht charter, well don’t be! Most charter yachts carry a good selection of water sports equipment; that will keep teenagers entertained for hours! Most sailing yachts both monohulls & catamarans will have a powerful dinghy, and they will most likely be able to offer waterskiing, wakeboarding, tubing and possibly knee boarding for the kids. You will also have the eco-friendly watersports like snorkeling equipment onboard, kayaks and possibly stand-up-paddleboards or SUPs as they are known.

Charter a motor yacht and the water sports inventory just increased to include jet-skies, Hobbie cats or a Laser dinghy, and maybe Diver Propulsion Vehicles (DPVs) for use when diving. The latest water sports equipment is a waterslide that fits onto the side of your motor yacht, great fun for the kids of all ages!

Some yachts offer kitesurfing and diving for guests that are already trained or certified; and others may offer tuition for these sports.

So there are plenty of activities to keep the kids occupied and most are included in the price of your luxury yacht charter.

Just spotted this large Scrawled Filefish

06/14/2015/in Blog /by Yacht Charter Specialists

Scrawled Filefish dark olive brown colouring

Scrawled Filefish pale grey & turquoise colouring

News from one of our favorite Caribbean charter yachts; the fantastic crew have just spotted this incredible Large Scrawled Filefish. It’s even bigger than the Queen Trigger Fish that someone spotted last week. Scrawled filefish can grow up to 3ft long when fully grown. These fish are normally very shy and tend to keep their distance. They are covered in blue to green spots and irregular lines and black dots. They have a very elongated body and a long broom like tail. They can instantly change color from pale grey and pale turquoise markings, to a dark olive-brown color with neon blue markings as they drift slowly over the reefs. These fish are masters of disguise and can be difficult to spot, as they blend in with their surroundings.

Enjoy discovering this beautiful underwater world whilst chartering a luxury yacht in the Caribbean.

Wow just spotted this lovely Queen Trigger Fish

Wow Queen Trigger Fish poses for the camera

I’ve just been snorkeling and spotted this lovely Queen Trigger Fish. She was quite small, only around 8” long, but was an adult; they can grow up to 16” long when fully grown. The fish was foraging for food. Their favorite dish is sea urchins. I was very lucky to get so close and observe her feeding. Normally they are quite shy, but this fish let me take lots of photos. It was great! Queen Trigger Fish have the ability to pale or darken their coloring dramatically, and almost instantly. A juvenile fish is silver to gray in color with yellowish tints. Adults are various shades of purple, blue, green, or turquoise. The lower half of the head is always yellow. Adult fish generally swim around reef tops, coral rubble and grass beds looking for food. Juveniles stay near protective recesses in areas of sand and rubble. These fish are relatively shy and usually difficult to approach, although occasionally they appear curious and swim near to divers. I was very lucky today that this fish allowed me to observe her having dinner at such a close distance. The Caribbean is home to the most diverse fish in the world. Check out this Scrawled Filefish. Take a luxury yacht charter and find out for yourself. You’ll be amazed!
