Where do you want to go this winter? WITH MORE YACHTS AVAILABLE FOR LUXURY CHARTERS THAN EVER BEFORE, CHURCHILL HAS THE PERFECT RECOMMENDATION FOR YOUR NEXT GETAWAY. Where does the time go? The past 2 ½ years have passed at warp speed. As the luxury travel market continues to improve, the yachting vacation demand is at the highest we have seen in the past 10 years. More and more people are booking their yacht vacation 6–12 months out in order to secure their preferred week. So where do you want to go this winter? We cannot say that the options are endless, but the continual efforts by the Caribbean Island nations and their improving airports make getting there a little easier every day. Both the U.S. and British Virgin Islands continue to be popular cruising destinations. With a plethora of flights available into San Juan, Puerto Rico and short connecting flights, a hop to the Virgin Islands is a very popular choice. St. Maarten and Antigua provide simple embarkation and disembarkation ports for guests coming to/from North America, Western Europe and South America. A bit further south, St. Lucia & St. Vincent compete to get visitors to their beautiful islands. There are more yachts available for charter in 2014 than there were just a few years ago. Because of this increase in competition, yachts have continued to improve service, offer more amenities and add more toys for guests to enjoy.
On the larger motor yachts, waterslides are becoming the norm. The increasing number of yachts in the luxury charter pool has made our job even more important. We continue to travel the world attending boat shows and fam-trips to inspect vessels and meet with their captains and crew. On a sad note, we want to pass along to you the news that one of our long-time charter brokers, Rikki Davis, passed away at the end of June. For over 30 years Rikki booked yacht charters in every corner of the world. As a pioneer in the charter industry, many portions of the MYBA charter contract were written because of Rikki’s experiences. To whet your travel appetite we leave you with a wonderful charter itinerary out of St. Lucia or St. Vincent. We look forward to working with you on your next yachting vacation and we thank you for giving us the opportunity to share our knowledge and experience with you and create that perfect vacation. All the best, Maggie Vale, Mary Vice-Copeland, Laura Berton, Lara-Jo Houghting, Kaisa Pace and Ben Osborn.
