The Charter Connection Blog

Everyone’s talking about discounts, so rather than mention every boat that’s lowered their prices, we try to feature a few to give an idea of what’s available. In reality, it’s best to pick the boats you like and crews you would enjoy being with for a week, and then try to make the price work, rather than limiting yourself to a list of specials. Time and time again, we find the ’specials’ are not always the best value. Our job is to get you the boat you will enjoy at the price you can afford.

Our featured special is Magpie II, a nice 2004 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 54DS based in St. Vincent. There are several of these boats in The British Virgin Islands, but this type of boat is harder to find in The Grenadines. Ron and Karen are offering 8 days for the price of 7 or a 10% discount for 7 day charters, through April 30th. Like many of these modern Jeanneaus, the cabin layout is very flexible. Though she generally only charters with four guests, the berths in the two aft cabins can be made up as singles or doubles and the two forward cabins can be combined to make a large master stateroom. She is also a fun boat to sail.

When an award winning yacht like Aldebaran offers a special, it’s too good to be true. Well they ARE sold out for February, March and most of April, but if your dates include late April, early May or the summer, this is one of the best run boats in the business. She was voted best multihull in the 2008 BVI Broker Show. Justin and Cayley are an exceptional crew. The special? Take $1,000 off the total price and another $300 if scuba diving is not required. This brings her to $2,866 per person for 6. Still not inexpensive, but you won’t be sorry.

This is a boat we book regularly, with excellent results. If you are interested in more information, call us at 800 621 7855, email us, or contact us through the Ed Hamilton & Co site, and tell us about your plans.
