The Charter Connection Blog

This month’s ‘Charter Connection‘ Newsletter, which was emailed to subscribers last week, included an article describing the many different yacht charter destinations around the world. Readers were invited to vote on any cruising grounds they had visited on either a crewed yacht or bareboat charter and for the purpose of this vote, these areas were divided into the following categories:

BVI / US Virgin Islands, Leeward Islands, Grenadines, Western Caribbean, Bahamas / Florida, Western Mediterranean, Croatia, Greek Islands, Turkey, New England, Pacific Islands, New Zealand / Australia and Asia

You can view the initial results as they start to come in. It seems that most people only voted on their favorites, which they naturally rated as a ‘3′, so there are some ‘perfect scores’. We expect this to change as more people vote.

If you haven’t voted yet, feel free to do so, and if you only voted for your top choice, we’d love to hear about those other areas you visited and how you felt they compared.

You can also vote on the past surveys we have run, accessed via the results page. It is always satisfying to see a surge of votes come in after each ‘Charter Connection’ mailing, some for articles over a year old! For this reason we keep all articles open and update the results as they change.

If you would like us to describe any of these beautiful cruising grounds or the fine charter yachts that sail there, call us at 800 621 7855, or email us, or visit The Ed Hamilton & Co website.

If a unique crewed yacht charter along the coast of Maine, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland sounds interesting, consider ‘Wanderbird‘. This beautifully converted 90 ft North Sea Trawler can accommodate up to 12 guests and specializes in expeditiond style, eco-tourism charters in more remote areas of the world.

For their New England charter season, they include a Pelagic Seabird Cruise (June 2-7), a coastal Labrador cruise to see Polar Bears (late August or early September), an Island Hiking Adventure (October 6-11) and even a Wine Tasting Cruise featuring local Maine wine (October 13-16). Prices start at $1000 per person for the shorter cruises, or you can charter the whole vessel depending on availability.

Owners, Rick and Karen are both licensed captains. This fascinating couple have created a beautiful home on the water and really do offer a wonderful cruising experience for anyone interested in nature, glorious unspoilt scenery and conservation.

For more information on their individual cruises or whole boat charters, you can email or call us (800 621 7855), or use our request literature format (please mention ‘Wanderbird’ if using this form).
