that you can relax and enjoy every minute of your charter. From deliciously comfortable beds and luxurious Egyptian cotton sheets, to state-of-the-art entertainment systems, spa showers, outdoor hot tubs, watersports toys and satellite communications, today’s charter yachts offer five-star luxury even when cruising in places where civilization does not exist. Some yachts even offer massage therapy on board as well as yoga, fitness rooms, full-service spas and saunas. You can be as lazy or as active as you would like. A number of charter crews cater to the adventurous and daring spirits beyond the yacht’s deck. Hop onto a tender to reach shore, and you may find your crew there with mountain bikes at the ready to explore trails in the shadows of a volcano. You may hike into a tropical forest or zip through tree canopies. Even if you have never tried any of these sports, if you so desire, the crew may instruct you on the basics of anything from paddle boarding to diving. It is all up to you, the yacht and the destination you choose. Most people never get a chance to sample the wonders of yacht charter, instead waiting on the dock and watching, hoping for just a glimpse into the lifestyle. The following pages are your ticket to stepping on board and joining the fun, no matter where in the world you want to go.

yacht owner is offering, such as discounts or bonus days. Next, your charter broker will ensure that the yacht receives your Advance Provisioning Allowance, or APA. This payment is sent before the charter begins so the crew can provision the yacht in keeping with your tastes. Your broker will send you a preference sheet asking for your likes and dislikes, everything from food and wine to movies and magazines. The APA will typically cover expenses such as food, liquor, anticipated fuel use, and expected dockage and taxes, none of which are included in the weekly or daily charter fee. Upon your charter’s completion, your broker will review expenses sent by the captain to determine whether your APA requires any additional payments or refunds. Last but not least, your charter broker will be available to you via telephone and e-mail throughout the duration of your charter. If there are any issues with travel, for instance, your broker can often help. Many brokers can arrange private aircraft, private cars and anything else that you require, even at the last minute. If you are chartering for the first time, then brokers also can give you unvarnished information about appropriate crew gratuities and other matters of yachting etiquette. Every charter broker’s goal is to take care of all the details, so that you simply have to enjoy your vacation of a lifetime.

IN 1671, A YACHT CHRISTENED THE DOVER CASTLE SAILED INTO ENGLISH HARBOUR—AND became the first ship ever recorded as entering the protected waters. Today, nearly 350 years later, dozens of yachts at a time dock at the harbor’s Antigua Yacht Club, which has grown to become one of the Caribbean’s best-known marinas. Just steps away from English Harbour are the yachting hubs at Falmouth Harbour and Nelson’s Dockyard. The latter is named for Admiral Horatio Nelson, who lived there in the late-1700s.

Anguilla to St. Martin (p.20). Your trip ends on a divided island. St. Martin for the French is St. Maarten to the Dutch. Its dual heritage has given it plenty to do, from popular beaches to low-key villages.

If you prefer more natural views, then your charter yacht can spend any time of year poking in and out of bays that lead to Antigua’s 365 beaches. Conch shacks and lobster huts are never more than a tender ride away, and there are enough enclaves that your yacht’s captain will be able to easily avoid any cruise ships in the region. Nearby islands such as Anguilla and Barbuda also await, with each being within easy cruising distance of Antigua for most charter yachts.

islands are attracting larger yachts. Many charter guests arrive through St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands or Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. There is no shortage of destinations. In the British Virgin Islands, highlights include Virgin Gorda, home of the renowned Bitter End Yacht Club. You can anchor nearby and tender to shore to enjoy the club’s beaches, restaurants and watersports, and even a dip in the resort’s swimming pool. Oil Nut Bay, a high-end resort and marina developed by a yacht owner, provides new dockage for larger yachts. Another highlight is Jost Van Dyke, where Foxy’s bar and lounge has been welcoming generations of rum-punch lovers and reggae singers. Another classic BVI destination is Pusser’s at Soper’s Hole on Tortola. Pusser’s Painkiller is famous for its ability to dissolve stress. The US Virgin Islands also offer attractions for charter yachts. A must-visit destination is Yacht Haven Grande marina and its restaurants and shopping complex. Located on St. Thomas, it is a great location to start and end charters. For a change of pace, your charter yacht can sail to the protected island of St. John. Part of a national park, it offers hiking trails, sandy white beaches and well-marked snorkeling trails. 2013 | 11

Picture-Perfect Bahamas THE ABACOS ARE PART OF THE BAHAMAS OUT ISLANDS. THIS STRETCH OF ISLANDS IS POPULAR with boaters and sailors and has few real towns. Instead, the island chain is dotted with bars, restaurants, and shops peddling souvenirs and local artwork. The Abacos offer a nice combination of “getting away” and “being around,” with options for privacy or civilization, depending on your mood each day. You can have entire beaches to yourself, or you can join a hopping reggae party at a local haunt. Some days, you can do both, if that’s what interests you. Most charters begin and end in Marsh Harbour, home to the local airport and the Abacos’ one “big city.” Small, commercial flights and private jets land here, a 10-minute car ride away from the nearest marina. Your yacht charter can begin almost immediately after you land, and the Abacos are yours to explore. One of the best-known stops in the Abacos is Hope Town on Elbow Cay. Its picture-perfect, red-and-white candy-striped lighthouse was quite controversial when it was built in the 1860s. You’ll cruise right past it as you enter Hope Town’s harbor, and take your yacht’s tender ashore to pedestrian-only streets lined with shops, bakeries, and bars. Rental golf carts and bicycles are a great way to enjoy a tour of the island, dotted with colorful beach houses and pristine, private coves. Another great spot along the way is Baker’s Bay and its horseshoe-shaped beach. Bahamian law says nobody can ever own the sand closest to the water, which means your yacht’s crew can bring you in by tender to enjoy the spot. The Baker’s Bay Golf & Ocean Club, located on the northern end, features a Tom Fazio–designed oceanfront course overlooking turquoise shallows. 2013 | 13

Big Major’s Cay’s resident pigs, descendants of farm animals brought here decades ago, swim to meet arriving tenders and demand their share of table scraps to the delight of visitors. Nearby Thunderball Cay was one of the filming sites of the James Bond movie “Thunderball,” and its surrounding currents make for an easy and exciting snorkeling trip. Allen’s Cay, home to dozens of iguanas, is another favorite destination. And the tamed nurse sharks of Compass Cay never fail to send shivers up the spine of firsttime visitors. Divers of all levels can enjoy the biodiversity of the Exumas, a large section of which is part of a marine park. Wall diving, wrecks, shallow reefs, caves, and blue holes guarantee sightings of all kinds of marine life, getting scarcer elsewhere in the world. 2013 | 15

YOU CAN FOLLOW THE TRAIL OF BREADCRUMBS THAT MOTHER NATURE SPRINKLED generously across the southern Caribbean Sea south from Kingstown, in Saint Vincent, or north from the lush and mountainous island of Grenada. Either way, many charter brokers recommend 10 to 12 days instead of seven in the Grenadines if you want the opportunity to relax instead of racing from one island to the next. Many charter itineraries are one-way journeys, but it is also possible to do a roundtrip charter starting from and ending in Grenada. This beautiful island has great resorts, white-sand beaches, hiking trails, and an international airport with many convenient flights—to say nothing of a fabulous local crop of spices and delicious homegrown cocoa processed locally into a fine organic chocolate. A trip starting in Grenada encompasses the often-overlooked island of Carriacou, as well as other special gems, including the yacht-friendly Petit St. Vincent, the beaches of Union Island, tiny and authentic Bequia, and popular and colorful Mustique, home of the internationally renown Basil’s Bar. A handful of islands including Canouan and Mayreau are worthwhile stopovers on the way to the Tobago Cays, a protected park and wildlife sanctuary. Stretching over about five miles, this marine park offers impossibly blue and green waters, filled with vibrant coral reefs, large sea turtles and tropical fish that will delight snorkelers for days. Above and below water, Grenada and the Grenadines are a feast for the senses, well worth the extra time. 2013 | 17

goods, allowing charter clients to get their shopping fix after a day of windsurfing or paddleboarding just off one of St. Barth’s sandy beaches. The nightlife on St. Barth’s starts at cocktail hour. A sunset toast is a veritable rite of passage into the cultural scene. Live music, dancing, and classic bar chatter are all within easy walking distance of Gustavia Harbour’s main quay. Oftentimes, the party continues back at the yacht and well into morning, when charter yacht chefs offer a comforting breakfast buffet before sending guests off to bed for the better part of the day. For these reasons and more, it is an open secret in yachting circles that some megayachts secure their spots on the quay at Gustavia Harbour a good three months in advance of New Year’s Eve. It is a coveted spot, since the quay accommodates a maximum of 60 yachts only. Some of the word’s newest megayachts regularly attend, along with some of the largest charter yachts, since the quay is safe for yachts as long as 200 feet. Those too big for the dock anchor in the nearby harbor and use luxury tenders to ferry partygoers to and from the action. The annual yacht-hopping party in the St. Barth’s waterfront district is just that good.

Split Personality, Wholesome Beauty IT IS TWO COUNTRIES COMBINED IN ONE ISLAND. THIS SPLIT PERSONALITY IS THE RESULT OF the 1864 Treaty of Concordia, which effectively split the Caribbean island between France and the Netherlands. The two live as good neighbors, but modern-day St. Maarten (the Dutch spelling) or St. Martin (as the French call it) truly has two distinct personalities. Busy beaches, discotheques and casinos make the Dutch side a bit more of a touristic destination. The Dutch side also attracts lots of yachts. The sheltered and deepwater Simpson Bay is home to several large megayacht marinas, within 15 minutes of Princess Juliana International Airport, a major hub for international flights. Many who fly in and out of Juliana International Airport will be tempted to visit Maho Beach before flying home. The beach is very close to the runway and offers swimmers and sunbathers quite a thrill. Many tourists wait for the largest airliners, rum punch in hand, and dare each other to stay put as a jumbo jet flies shockingly close over their heads. It is a far cry from the experience many enjoy on the more subdued French side of the island, which resembles neighboring St. Barth’s. It is not quite as posh or as chic, but it does have nude beaches, gourmet restaurants and Caribbean fashions in duty-free boutiques. That personality, plus the island’s easy access to the rest of the Caribbean and the world beyond, makes St. Maarten a good place to start or end a charter vacation.

Taku Harbor to Juneau. End your charter in Alaska’s state capital, where you can visit the local cannery for tasty souvenirs such as candied salmon sticks. Also check out the state museum before heading to the airport for your flight back home.

After a day in town, your charter yacht can cruise into Tracy Arm, where Sawyer Glacier is among the sites to be seen—and heard. Massive chunks of the centuries-old ice calve into the sea, creating full-blown icebergs as well as much less intimidating “bergy bits” that your tender’s driver can dodge as if going through a slalom-skiing course. Whales are often seen in this area, and there are lots of opportunities to do things such as catching king crab in traps set out by your charter yacht’s crew. The only thing that is certain in Alaska is that you will see and do things you’ve never before seen or done, and perhaps never even imagined in your wildest dreams.

Charter on the Wild Side LOCATED ABOUT 600 MILES WEST OF ECUADOR, THE GALÁPAGOS ISLANDS ARE ONE OF THE world’s truly unique destinations for luxury yacht charter. Instead of sundresses for shopping and stilettos for the discotheques, you’ll need hiking boots for trails that wind around islands inhabited only by nature. The Galápagos are about geology and wildlife, offering an unmatched look at what the world may be like with little human influence. The best yacht charters in the Galápagos include a professional guide or naturalist able to arrange onshore tours at times when big tour boats are long gone. You will be able to get up close and personal with everything from sea lions to giant tortoises and blue-footed boobies. Many of these animals have no natural predators here, so they have no fear of humans. Sometimes, you’ll be walking along the paths, and you’ll have to step over a bird sitting on a nest of eggs, because the bird doesn’t even think of moving. The Galápagos also offer hiking trails across huge fields of lava that have dried stone-hard after flowing in boiling rivers from the mouths of the island volcanoes. They have formed ripples and tunnels you can walk through, offering sheer evidence of how fierce nature can be. Your charter yacht will have snorkeling gear available (the ideal time for this is December through May), and in some cases, diving will also be an option. Depending on the time of year, your encounters with wildlife can also include hammerhead sharks. 2013 | 27

The Maine Attraction MAINE IS THE MOST NORTHEASTERLY PLACE FOR YACHT CHARTER IN THE UNITED STATES. A long enough haul from Newport, Rhode Island, and the heart of New England, it is truly a destination unto itself. It is possible to do a one-way, multi-week charter that begins in Newport and finishes in Maine, but there is enough to see and do in Maine alone. You can enjoy itineraries from one to three weeks there without ever passing the same location twice. The most popular waterfront towns include Portland, with its cobblestone streets and delightful shopping, and Bar Harbor, with its yacht clubs and croquet matches out on the front lawns of elegant summer homes. These are the spots to sip iced tea for hours, and of course to enjoy a juicy Maine lobster with freshly squeezed lemon and ladles of melted butter. Maine’s coastline and countless islands also offer some beautiful and remote hiking along rocky beaches and wooded trails, often with an ocean view. Quite a few of Maine’s islands are part of Acadia National Park, preserved as nature created them and protected from future development. And don’t forget to enjoy the view out on the water, too, as traditional lobster boats and clamming boats ply their morning routes in search of the day’s best catch. If you really want to see a great show, sit in the pilothouse with your charter yacht’s captain and watch the yacht navigate around all the lobster pots. 2013 | 29

America the Beautiful NEW ENGLAND IS A REGION THAT STRETCHES NORTHWARD FROM CONNECTICUT TO THE BORDER between the United States and Canada. The islands surrounding Newport, Rhode Island, along with Maine, are considered charter destinations unto themselves. Broader New England can include yacht charters from cities like Boston, which is an ideal spot for a “surf and turf,” meaning a few days on shore followed by a few days on board. Any charter broker can help you combine land tours with a charter itinerary so that you can make the most of your time in the area, maybe taking in a Red Sox game at Fenway Park before stepping on board your private yacht in Boston Harbor. A charter in and around Boston can feel like a journey into the history of America itself. Itinerary stops can include Plymouth Harbor, where the Pilgrims landed on the Mayflower, complete with a replica of the ship that is available for tours. Also close by is Salem, Massachusetts, whose infamous history of witch trials is enshrined in local shops and a museum. Pack a copy of “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller, and then walk down the streets where its most famous scenes take place. Also nearby are artists’ colonies, charming architecture and adorable seaside restaurants serving lobster rolls all summer long. Many charter yacht chefs are well versed in the art of the clam bake, too, if you want to spend an evening on the beach enjoying a cookout the same way the locals have for generations. 2013 | 31

Coastal Splendor THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, WHEN IT COMES TO YACHT CHARTER, MEANS THE REGION FROM Seattle, Washington, north past Vancouver and into Desolation Sound. A number of different one-week itineraries are available here, each offering something a little bit different to see and do. Many charter yachts make the San Juan Islands their home, picking up charter guests in Seattle and then heading away from civilization to this much quieter archipelago. The San Juans offer views that you can’t find anywhere else. Snow-capped Mount Baker serves as a magical background as your yacht sits anchored in 80-degree weather off Sucia Island. Seasonal whale migrations make for once-in-a-lifetime photos, and the fishing can be absolutely fantastic. Vancouver Island offers encounters with nature, too, as well as a chance to explore Victoria. The world-famous Butchart Gardens are well worth an afternoon stroll amid the beautiful flowers and landscaping, right up until it’s time for high tea at the Fairmont Empress Hotel. After that, it’s time for shopping. The stores stay open until just past dinnertime and offer local souvenirs, such as moose caricatures. Desolation Sound is north of Victoria, and you are well on your way to Alaska by the time you reach its heart. Don’t let the barren meaning of the name fool you. Desolation Sound may be more serene and see fewer cruises ships and crowds than other spots on your cruise, but it offers some of the most spectacular scenery on Earth. 2013 | 33

one to two weeks. A one-week itinerary can include the bulk of the Society Islands, with Moorea and Huahine among the stops between Tahiti and Bora Bora. Cruising along this route ensures plenty to do both on shore and at sea, including visits to pearl farms, snorkeling with reef sharks and rays, diving on shipwrecks, riding ATVs through plantations, and, of course, relaxing on white sand beaches so spectacular that they are the stuff of many bucket-list dreams. Two-week itineraries can combine a visit to the Society Islands with time in the nearby Tuamotus, which are far less populated. This is the part of French Polynesia that serious fishing enthusiasts and scuba divers covet, a place on the planet where the reefs are still huge and the wildlife is, too. Seasonal encounters can include everything from humpback whales to hammerhead sharks, in waters so warm that you rarely even need a wetsuit to take a swim alongside them. If you want to see the underwater world unspoiled, then the Tuamotus are a must-visit. Only a handful of luxury charter yachts visit French Polynesia each year, and the best book as much as a year in advance. If this destination is on your wish list, then consider planning well in advance. 2013 | 35

Venice is of course world renowned for its history and style, but charterers who instead choose to stop at Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor are often surprised at its natural beauty. In fact, some even call it the most beautiful place they have ever seen, a destination unto itself. The city of Dubrovnik is perhaps Croatia’s best known, and yachts can anchor in the harbor and use tenders to bring guests ashore. After you step onto the dock, you can walk through an archway and find yourself inside the towering stone walls, walking up and down stone streets that have known nothing but pedestrian feet since they were built. The great stone wall itself is also available for walking tours, offering exceptional views of the city’s interior as well as the sea. If you’ve seen the popular HBO series “Game of Thrones,” which is filmed here, then you will recognize the spectacular scenery.

They are a wonderful late-summer destination. Santorini, the Cyclades’ southernmost island, is often the final itinerary stop during one-way or round-trip charters. Aside from its airport with connections to Athens, Santorini is inviting thanks to its typical landscape. Whitewashed or lime-washed stone homes and buildings occasionally topped with sky-blue domes unfold along stone staircases and winding walking paths. Mykonos is another popular island, with its historic windmills and waterfront homes. Make sure you spend some time at the local maritime museum, full of artifacts that span centuries’ worth of the region’s shipping and boating history.

THE DODECANESE ISLANDS ARE THE EASTERNMOST ARCHIPELAGO IN GREECE, STRETCHING SO far to the east that in some places they run parallel to the coastline of Turkey. It is not uncommon in these areas to be standing on Greek soil looking across a channel and seeing the Turkish flag proudly flying. Yacht charter itineraries in the Dodecanese can be exclusively within the islands of Greece, or can combine with destinations in Western Turkey, especially during two-week itineraries. Rhodes is the best-known island in Greece’s Dodecanese chain. Its proud stone walls have stood for centuries, once protecting the thriving city inside and now announcing its pres[DAY 6]

ence as a tourist destination. You can walk right through the archway that once held the drawbridge and that today welcomes you to a charming array of shops, boutiques and restaurants. Lesser known but just as worthy of a visit in the Dodecanese is the island of Symi. It offers two spots that are particularly noteworthy. First is the monastery that honors the Archangel Michael of Panormitis, the guardian of sailors. The currents converge and flow to this place, as evidenced by the countless messages in bottles that have landed on shore after being tossed into the water by sailors all across the Mediterranean. Also on Symi is the harbor that leads to the main town and residential area—and that is one of the most picturesque harbors anywhere in the world. The houses climb the mountainsides in a colorful array, with shops and restaurants along the waterfront quay, just waiting to welcome you and treat you like a local.

Together, they are part of the Cinque Terre National Park and their unmatched beauty earned them a UNESCO World Heritage Site designation.

The smells in the streets are delightful, and the lack of modern-day noise is a refreshing break from reality. Be sure to sample the local grapes and olives, which many people grow on terraces that climb the hillsides from the sea. This is also the land of fresh pesto, which you can order in just about any restaurant over homemade pasta for a memorable evening meal. 2013 | 49

Under the Tuscan Sun THE AMALFI COAST, IN SOUTHWESTERN ITALY, IS ABOUT A DAY’S CRUISING TIME FROM NAPLES. ITS proximity to that city (the birthplace of pizza) makes it ideal for a charter that includes a few days on shore. After you’ve had your fill (of classic margherita toppings), you can make your way down the coast, a trip that offers stunning views of the seaside towns and villages. Cruising along the Amalfi Coast is just as wonderful as anchoring in the harbors, where homes climb the hillsides on terraces jutting out over the Mediterranean Sea. The main towns to visit along the Amalfi Coast are Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. Positano was a and was famously buried in lava and ash during a volcanic explosion in 79 A.D. The site, now excavated, is among the world’s most treasured and perhaps most famous archaeological locations. [DAY 7]

little-known fishing village until the 1950s, when author John Steinbeck announced its existence to the world of wealthy tourists. The more recent book and film “Under the Tuscan Sun” further solidified the town’s cultural significance for travelers of all backgrounds. The beaches, restaurants and shops of Positano are indeed the stuff of artistic inspiration, and not to be missed. Dramatic cliffs surround the town of Amalfi, making an approach by sea nothing short of breathtaking. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with medieval architecture that is both original and, sometimes, repurposed. Two former monasteries, for instance, are now hotels. They are well worth a look, as is the historic Amalfi Cathedral, dedicated to the apostle Saint Andrew, that overlooks the Piazza del Duomo in the heart of town. Ravello, too, makes the most of surrounding cliffs and sits atop one, some 350 feet above the Mediterranean Sea. The views from here are simply unparalleled, and the experience of walking through the streets is a journey in time.

This is a serious yacht club that has challenged for the America’s Cup. Its annual summer events, such as the Perini Navi Cup, draw professional sailors aboard modern yachts as well as world-renowned, classic builds in an unparalleled display of Italian yachtbuilding technique.

Catania, on Sicily’s eastern shore, has been built and rebuilt a number of times by the generations of people who have lived through numerous eruptions of Mount Etna. Walking through the city can feel like walking through different historic periods, with amphitheaters and castle walls intermingling with modern housing and neon-lighted restaurants. It is truly a sight to behold, one that is tailor-made for exploring by day before returning to your charter yacht at night. 2013 | 55

Parts of Turkey’s history share close ties with ancient Rome and Greece and vestiges of this past are evident in many places. It’s no wonder.
