This week's BIG THANK YOU goes to Catamaran Sail Away for their "No Hassle" rebooking policy! They are heroes in both our eyes and our happy clients! http://bit.ly/YachtSailAway
Sail Away is a 2014 Lagoon 620 in pristine condition having just undergone additional refurbishment & upgrades. This yacht is one of the few charter catamarans that can accommodate 10 guests in 5 double cabins with Queen beds & en suite bathrooms with separate showers. She is beautifully equipped with luxurious furnishings and extensive electronics and is the ideal boat for families or groups that want a luxurious, comfortable & fast catamaran.
~With respect to water sports, her tender lift is an ideal sunbathing platform while its 17' and 90 HP tender is perfect for waterskiing, wakeboarding, and kneeboarding. Besides snorkeling gear, fishing rods with stands, she is also equipped with a flybridge with a cocktail table, cushions, mattresses, and a bimini. For Sail Away's scuba diving guests, rendezvous diving can easily be arranged.
~Sail Away is available for charter throughout the year. She is based in the British and US Virgin Islands from November through May and in the Grenadines (based in Grenada) June through October. Special arrangements have been made with the exquisite Scrub Island resort in the BVI to allow stress free pick up and drop off of charter guests, minutes from the Tortola airport at Beef Island, where they will be greeted and shuttled to Scrub Island by private launch and pampered as VIP guests with preferential care and exclusive discounts for any stay before and/or after charter.
~She has a wonderful crew of 3 who will exceed all your expectations including a renowned Chef who will amaze you with her culinary skills and carefully adapt the menu to any dietary restrictions.
We'd like to thank all our partners for helping to put in place as flexible conditions as possible to help and accommodate the current situation and to encourage clients to book for the future. Thanks to the cooperation of professional yacht charters like Catamaran Sail Away, we strive to offer a wide range of options and more flexible conditions. Get ready! There will be a pent-up demand for travel “unleashed in late Q2 across global economies.” Which horizon will you sail next?
As one friend said, "Travel-It’s like a friend you don’t see that much — when you finally do see her, it’s like, ‘Wow, I appreciate you so much more."
Crew Profiles:
Mike and Lizzy Hill have been sailing together for nearly 10 years – in fact they met as crew racing on a yacht! Together they have sailed around Greece, through the Dalmatian islands of Croatia, along the picturesque Amalfi coastline of Italy and the timeless French Riveria within the Mediterranean, and in the Caribbean from the Virgin Islands, to the Leewards Islands including St Martin and St Barts, and onwards to the Windwards Islands including the stunning Grenadines. They have so far logged in excess of 30,000 Nm and over 100 charters. Most of this time has been enjoyed on charter yachts providing luxury vacations. Welcoming guests aboard with a friendly, warm attitude and an eye for detail they consistently provide holidays of a lifetime for their delighted visitors
Capt. Mike
Having sailed from an early age, Mike’s passion for boating in general has gained him a wealth of knowledge on sailing & motor yachts up to 80’ long. He likes to pass on his enthusiasm to everyone aboard, encouraging and teaching others more about sailing. Mike has been lucky to have sailed in many areas of Europe and the Caribbean, including logging over 20,000nm in the last 4 years alone on crewed yacht charters. A great sense of humour combined with a professional approach, an open and relaxed manner, not to mention his skills behind the bar, ensures Mike gets guests to enjoy every moment aboard.

About Us:
We're former Owners & Captain of the Award-winning 72' yacht Three Moons for 18 years. With over 300 charters in our logbook, we currently represent privately crewed Caribbean sailing luxury yacht charters as professional CYBA yacht charter brokers. Recently, we interviewed over 120 catamarans, motor yachts, sailboats, and professional crews. We're happy to work together as a team to promote charter vacation yachts offering modern conveniences & unlimited pleasure.
What should you expect from a luxury crewed yacht charter in the Caribbean?
It's "ALL about you, ALL the time" onboard a privately crewed charter boat! It's surprisingly affordable too! Far away from overcrowded cruise ships, all-inclusive charter yachts allow you to explore some of the Caribbean’s most exclusive areas and delight in the natural, unspoiled beauty of secluded islands, hidden coves, and secret dive sites. Sail to a nearby island every day & snorkel around your own private beaches; enjoy your favorite cocktail while watching the sunset on your own private yacht; indulge yourself with 5-star gourmet cuisine that is prepared with Caribbean flair and served in the most beautiful surroundings you could ever imagine. We love matching the right crew & yacht with you!
6 Reasons Why We are Qualified:
1. As Members of the Charter Yacht Brokers Association, we maintain contact with the yachts to keep abreast of the very latest information on crew/yacht conditions and new yachts entering the arena.
2. We stay on top of local and Federal Government to keep informed about changes in our industry, as well as involving ourselves with the changes in the environment in which we offer charters.
3 We engage in open dialogue with local publications to help keep the government and the public aware of this important industry in our islands.
4. We attend multiple charter yacht industry shows in the Caribbean and Mediterranean, go aboard each of the yachts, meet the crews, attend association meetings and seminars. We'll happily share our notes about changes to the boats and crews and confirm any newly added features and upgrades as well as re-fits to the boat’s decor like new carpets, interior and exterior soft goods & fun new water-toys.
5. As a seasoned charter yacht Owner & Crew, we have access to the "inner circle" and know all the insider facts.
