Charter Yacht CONTESSA guest comments

We recently had a repeat client who chartered Contessa to celebrate his 50th birthday

Hi Sheila and Bob,
We just got back from a wonderful week of sailing. The boat was excellent and Richard and Denise were delightful. We had an excellent time. You can recommend CONTESSA without any reservations. Thanks for the connection and hope to do it again (before 60!).
Warm regards from NYC,
Mario

MATAU : 75-foot catamaran for Med and Caribbean yacht charters

MATAU, a 75-foot catamaran, is a new addition to the yacht charter fleet.

Matau accommodates up to eight guests in four luxurious staterooms and will be available for yacht charters in the Mediterranean for Summer 2008 and will return to the Caribbean for charters for the Winter 2008/9 season.



When you step inside MATAU, you will notice that her stunning décor has more than a dash of art deco style with pale wood, white leather upholstery and sophisticated black and red accents. The perfect setting for cosmopolitans and martinis with Noel Coward songs playing in the background.





Four very spacious cabins (3 Queens & 1 King) accommodate up to eight guests in full comfort. The ensuite baths feature twin vessel sinks and separate stall showers.



Exceptional is the word for the king-bedded master stateroom. Its en suite bath, as large as one of the guest cabins, offers the luxury of a full-size jacuzzi tub.



There are so many choices on deck – the trampolines, aft deck, bridge deck, the “teak beach”, and broad aft steps (very easy water access!) – that everyone will quickly find their own favorite spot for sunning and relaxing.



Captain Brett Clarke and his wife, Chef Andrea, are very excited about chartering in the Mediterranean this summer and look forward to welcoming guests aboard this very special yacht.

.

WEEKLY RATES:

Summer 2008: Eastern or Western Mediterranean in July, August and September
€35,000 plus all expenses, for up to 8 guests

MOONSPLASH 2008 Bankie Banx Anguilla Dune Preserve

Bankie Banx, the Eastern Caribbean's pioneer of reggae music, hosts the Moonsplash Music Festival each year on Anguilla.

This year's Moonsplash runs March 27-30, 2008 at Bankie Banx's Dune Preserve on the Caribbean island of Anguilla (just north of St. Martin / Sint Maarten).



Moonsplash has become much more than a weekend party. People plan their vacations to Anguilla around it.

Looking for accommodations? How about a yacht charter?

Jet Blue and Spirit airlines, along with major airlines fly into St. Maarten (SXM).

Meet your boat in St. Maarten, and make the short sail up to Anguilla to attend Moonsplash. Afterwards, you might enjoy cruising on over to St. Barths stopping at various spots along the French coast of St. Martin on the way.

Last year, we sailed over to Anguilla to attend the Jimmy Buffett concert and had a wonderful time. What a wonderful venue for a concert of this type.

Check out the concert video on Amazon.com... CLICK THIS LINK!




A double CD and an 82 minute DVD were recorded LIVE at the Dune Preserve, Rendezvous Bay in Anguilla, in Bankie Banx's backyard and the site of famous Moonsplash Festivals. The CDs include 30 songs, all of your favorites, plus some special in-concert rarities like Domino College, Waiting In Vain, When Salome Plays the Drum, King of Somewhere Hot, Treat Her Like A Lady, and Distantly In Love. The DVD was recorded in High Definition and is in Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound. Check out the video on Amazon.com!
