Caribbean yacht patron continues story

Oct 23rd, 2009
Luxury yacht charters give holidaymakers the chance to relax as they cruise the Caribbean, while still having the option of participating in a range of thrilling activities.

Writing on Slate.com, Mr Stevenson, who took a short course in yacht piloting before heading to the archipelago, explained how there are a number of options when securing the vessel at night.

He said pulling up alongside a dock can be expensive, but allows guests to view a plethora of million-dollar boats.

Those who plan to simply drop anchor for the night need to be experienced enough to do so in order to stop the vessel floating off, the sailor added.

The easiest way is to find an empty mooring ball in a harbour and pay the nightly rent, Mr Stevenson suggested.

Those chartering a crewed yacht need not worry about finding suitable moorings at night as the experts will be able to guide the vessel to an appropriate location.

One such vessel is Sunreef sailboat Seazen II, which is capable of sleeping up to ten guests and comes with three members of staff.

Decked out with a stylish Japanese interior, the twin-hulled luxury yacht could be ideal for cruising the Caribbean.
