Charter Yacht Promenade: February Cabin Charter, ONE cabin open

The charter yacht Promenade, a 65-foot trimaran, is offering a cabin cruise week (for 7 or 10 nights) beginning on February 16, 2014.

We just placed a hold on a cabin so there is only ONE remaining. This could be YOURS!
UPDATE: We have filled all the cabins for this week. Please contact us if you are interested in a future Promenade cabin cruise week.
This is the only charter-by-the-cabin week that Promenade has scheduled for 2014.  They are very popular so don't delay... Contact us ASAP.
Promenade at anchor --- Fishing --- Hiking

Diving --- Ride the Banana --- Chill on the Power Lounger


This is an excellent way for a couple to charter a large, fun boat with all the toys, diving AND fishing, without trying to put together a group with 6 or 8 other people :)

One thing cool about this year's cabin charter week is that you have your choice of booking either SEVEN or TEN nights aboard, plus a FREE sleepaboard if you wish.

DETAILS:
  • Seven nights: February 16-23, 2014
  • Ten nights: February 16-26, 2014
  • Saturday, February 15: Complimentary sleep over if desired. Boarding after 4 PM, in Roadtown, Tortola. No services included (ie, dinner that night and breakfast the next morning on shore).

Includes: All meals aboard and ship's standard bar, cruising taxes, port taxes, overnight air conditioning and all onboard ship's toys. SCUBA diving is also included for CERTIFIED divers on a casual basis (one dive/day). 

Excludes: Transportation to and from the yacht, including plane and taxi fares. Crew gratuities which are at your discretion but typically 15% of charter fee. Any meals and beverages you choose to have on shore. You will be responsible for one dinner ashore on the ten-night package only. Regulator & BC rental for scuba diving, if needed, is available at $125/diver for the charter period.

7-night pricing:
  • $4000/cabin for 2 people (not per person... ie, $2000/person, double occupancy)
10-night pricing:
  • $5000/cabin for 2 people (not per person... ie, $2500/person, double occupancy)

Promenade is a fully air conditioned, 65-foot trimaran with a beam of 35 feet, that accommodates up to 10 guests in five cabins. The two forward cabins are Queens and each have private, ensuite head/shower. The aftmost center cabin is a Queen, while the port and starboard aft cabins can be configured as either twins or a king.  The aft 3 cabins share 2 heads/showers.

AVAILABILITY:
  • As of January 7, 2014:  ONE cabins open (port aft cabin which can be configured as a King or Twins) 
  • Please note that this is a NON-SMOKING week. No cigarettes, no cigars, no pipes to be smoked while on the boat.
If this is of interest, don't wait... We are actively trying to book her up and it would be a shame for you to miss this once-a-season opportunity for 2014.



I recently spent 5 nights aboard Promenade (aft Queen cabin) in November while attending the Tortola and St Thomas Charter Yacht Shows. I found the boat very comfortable and the crew very hospitable. Promenade is one of our favorite charter yachts.
