Did you know that you can charter a yacht with me at Cruise Planners?

In these uncertain times with concerns due to COVID-19 many people who love to cruise are feeling nervous about the idea of booking a cruise on a large ship with lots of other passengers. They are however very ready for a vacation – so we are finding that what is very popular to book right now is a yacht charter which is fun and provides a safe alternative.

We work with “Ocean Getaways” who offer private yacht hire for small intimate groups, with different yacht sizes from just two guests to as many as 12 people in a controlled environment. Ocean Getaways private yachts adhere to stringent hygiene on their ships and their staff are vigilant about social distancing and wearing masks when on shore. A private yacht vacation allows you to be outside 95% of the time. You have your own private chef who will practice strict sanitation and cook your meals right there before you.

Yacht charters are available whether you would like to cruise around the beautiful islands in places like Croatia, Italy, and Greece – or if you are looking for a closer to home destination - you can cruise in places like the Bahamas, the US Virgin Islands, and the idyllic British Virgin Islands.

Yachts are perfect for honeymooners, multi-generational family get-togethers, milestone birthday celebrations, and certified diving groups. Business owners have found that a private yacht trip is a very successful incentive to motivate their sales staff to meet their goals. A private yacht charter is also a great alternative for individual families who are worn out from home schooling and concerned about summer camps being cancelled to experience a safe summer vacation where they can just chill and relax.

So what is included with a private yacht trip? These yacht charters are an all-inclusive package providing customized dining with three meals per day, hors oeuvres at Happy Hour, unlimited snacks, an open bar, and amazing watersports such as snorkeling, water skiing, wake boarding, tubing, and light fishing – and the price also includes all your taxes & port fees.

Many guests don’t want to leave the ships since there is so much to do right there and they enjoy a private sanctuary – but for those who want to explore the different islands you will find that these yachts can anchor off the beaten track where large ships cannot go and they take you to beaches where there are very few people. No need to book an excursion – the staff onboard can provide you with information on what there is to see and do, and you will find that everything is within an easy walking distance of where your yacht docks.

It is advisable to book well in advance – generally at least 6 months ahead. You will find that chartering a yacht provides you with a unique experience and memories of a lifetime. Ocean Getaways have an extremely high satisfaction rating – 99% of their guests have given them a 5-star rating! Please contact me for more information.
