Yacht Charter Comments: CONTESSA

Thank you Richard & Denise for giving our repeat clients a wonderful vacation aboard Contessa!


Charter dates = December 28, 2008 - January 4, 2009

Yacht = CONTESSA

How did you enjoy your charter?
Without question we enjoyed our charter. This was the 5th sailing vacation for us and the first for the P's. Laura P. (age 21) and Michael P. (age 18) had the time of their life.

Did you find your crew to be helpful, accommodating and friendly?
Capt. Richard and Denise couldn't have been nicer.

Was the yacht comfortable, clean and well maintained?
The Contessa was a beautiful boat. The cabins were very clean and comfortable.

How would you describe the quality and presentation of the meals served on board?
The meals were delicious and the food plentiful, which is important when traveling with two young men (ages 15 & 18).

How did you find the services offered by Paradise Connections?
This is the 4th time we have chartered with Paradise Connections and everything went smoothly. I would recommend you to anyone.

Would you be interested in taking another yacht vacation in the future?
I am sure we will be taking another sailing vacation sometime in the next 2 years.

If so, would you like to charter the same yacht and crew?
We would definitely charter again with the Contessa.

Catamaran AMARYLLIS - LOWER RATES FOR 2009 SEASON

CATAMARAN AMARYLLIS lowers their rates for the 2009 season.



Amaryllis is a 45-foot Privilege catamaran that accommodates up to 6 guests in three double cabins.

In light of the soft economy, Amaryllis has decided to drop their rates for the 2008/2009 season. Their reduced rates are:

• 2 guests: $8500
• 3 guests: $9000
• 4 guests: $9500
• 5 guests: $10,250
• 6 guests: $11,000

For family charters they are offering "1 child free". This means that family of four, for example, can get the 3-person rate of $9000. A "child" is defined as anyone 17-years old or under.

Amaryllis also offers a "sleep over" rate for guests who arrive late into St. Thomas (after dark). Instead of staying in a hotel their first night, they can come directly to the boat. Amaryllis will have dinner and drinks ready. Breakfast will be provided the following morning and guests will be able to get a jump-start on their vacation. The price for this service is the equivalent of their half-day rate.

Also, for those who want to take less than a week's vacation, Amaryllis is offering a 2-5 day USVI package and waiving the 10% surcharge for charters less than 6 days. No time is wasted clearing customs as the charter stays in USVI waters. Pick up can be on St. Thomas or St. John making this ideal for guests who want some time on the water and some time ashore at a resort or villa.
