How to unwind

Charter yachts, both sail & power, have come a long way in the past decade. They now sport flat screen TVs, A/C, electric pump toilets, full internet access -- all the mod cons. Yet what clients like most about chartering a yacht is that the panic & rush of life at home disappears in the early moring light when you jump overboard before even having that first cup of coffee!

So remember -- you work to live, not live to work! Take the opportunity to get out on the water, observe the wonderful world around you and recharge. Life on board a yacht has an easy pace that is stress free and effortless -- the way you would like life to be.

Give it a try -- you perspective on life improves out on the water.

Romance at Sea

Congatulations to Captain Dave and first mate Claudia of the charter yacht Antiquity who recently became engaged while with famioly & friends in Dave's home turf - Louisiana. Claudia & Dave found love late in life -- after Claudia and her first husband chartered Antiquity 15 years ago. They returned a number of times, which is why Dave offered Antiquity as a spot to regroup after Claudia suddenly became a widow. Their friendship blossomed, and after a couple of years of visits, Claudia moved on board Antiquity. Noe they are planning a relaxed island style wedding!
