The 96′ luxury motor yacht Bermuda IV has four spaces open on a scuba charter August 9 - 14, 2008, sailing around Bermuda. At this late date, they are willing to reduce the rate by $600 per person for the remaining cabins. The discounted cost of the 5 day charter is $2,400 per person. This is all inclusive - there are no hidden costs (besides airfare and a tip for the crew). Even if you are not keen on scuba diving, there’s plenty to do. See St. Georges, Dockyard, Hamilton and Mangrove Bay. Bermuda is only a two hour flight from the East Coast. We know this luxurious boat and crew well and can certainly recommend her. See Emily’s Tortola charter on her in our newsletter.

If you’re looking for a getaway that’s not too far away and offers some spectacular scuba diving, why not consider Bermuda? Only 2 hours from most East Coast hubs, Bermuda features beautiful beaches and healthy reefs. The 96 foot luxury motor yacht Bermuda IV charters for less than many of the hotels on the island and is the perfect place to stay. Let native Captain Mike Davis show you the sites and take advantage of scuba dive instructor Christine East’s Underwater photography courses. This luxury yacht offers several different ways to charter, be it 5 day SCUBA charters, weekend getaways, honeymoon yacht charters, day cruises or week long private charters.

Many larger power yachts reposition for the spring and summer months to New England and the Mediterranean, leaving a shortage of luxury motor yachts for charter in The Caribbean. This year, SHALIMAR, a 118′ Benetti Tri Deck will be remaining in the Caribbean, taking advantage of the calm waters, sunny skies and minimal crowds. Based in Tortola, in The British Virgin Islands, she can also charter in St. Martin and any islands further south, as far as The Grenadines.

She is able to accommodate 10 guests in her 5 cabins and charters for $60,000 per week, plus expenses. Shalimar is also one of the few power yachts offering scuba diving directly from the boat, carrying 8 full sets of dive gear, a dive compressor and a nitrox mixer.

Call or email us if you would like more information on Shalimar (800-621-7855). If you would like more information on other motor yachts or crewed sailing charters, just let us know the type of private yacht charter you are looking for.

Most people tend to avoid taking a Caribbean yacht charter in the fall due to the hurricane season, but this coming September and October, there is a yacht moving to an exciting destination that is below the normal hurricane route. ‘Sublime’, a popular crewed sailing yacht generally based in the Virgin Islands, is heading to Bonaire, in the south western Caribbean. Very few private yacht charters visit this exciting destination, but it is one of Captain Brian’s favorite islands. Bonaire has been consistently ranked as one of the world’s top five scuba diving destinations. The yacht would be used for daysails and a ‘floating hotel’ as they are not allowed to anchor and are too large for the moorings. There are no charter fleets, due to the strict regulations imposed by the government of Bonaire, which means the coral is undamaged and the snorkeling and diving are truly spectacular.

Brian is offering special lower rates that are competitive with the local accommodations. Breakfast, lunch, appetizers and reasonable bar are included, as well as diving. Dinners would be taken ashore and air refills would be additional. Please request literature, email or call us (800 621 7855) if you are interested in joining Sublime in Bonaire.
