Summer's Over... Time to sail the Caribbean

That's it! Summer is officially over. Today is the first day of Autumn.

We hope you had an excellent summer and now that the days are growing shorter and cooler your thoughts turn to a sailing vacation in the warm, blue water of the Caribbean.

If you are still considering a New Years yacht charter (approximately December 27 - January 3) there are not too many yachts left, so get off the fence :)

There is better availability for Christmas week with most charters ending on December 26 or 27 at the latest... If these dates don't fit your schedule, just ask and we'll try to work something out.

Want to do something different for Thanksgiving this year but afraid to miss the Bowl games?  No worries... we have TV in the islands. You can catch the games at a beach bar or perhaps your yacht has satellite TV.

Maybe you want to spend your holidays at home and join us at a time more convenient for you. Give us a call or pop us an email and let us know what you're looking for... Contact Paradise Connections Yacht Charters.

One question we are frequently asked:  Won't the kids get bored?

Here's a comment from charterers we had aboard Antillean this summer:

Sure feel lucky to have had Paradise Connections broker our trip!

Just a reminder that American Airlines is having a sale for flights to the Caribbean. You must purchase your flights by September 27, 2011 for travel through February 15, 2012.  See our previous blog post: American Airlines Caribbean Sale.

We also represent luxury hotel barges for cruising the European Waterways. Charter the entire barge for a private cruise or book a cabin and share the barge with others. Our specialized website www.bargecharters.com is dedicated to European hotel barge trips for barging in France, England, Scotland, Ireland, Holland/Belgium (Dutch tulip cruises), Germany/Luxembourg, and Italy.

HURRICANE IRENE - Storm Petrel

Our friends, Laura & Phil, owner-operators of one of our favorite charter yachts, Storm Petrel, are based in New England for the summer season.

Phil & Laura, Storm Petrel

We just received an email saying that they are in their storm hidey-hole and well secured with extra mooring lines and chafe gear. They are well protected in the southeast winds they are having right now and only expect tropical storm force winds at the peak of the storm in their area.

Laura says they are surfing the net as they can't surf the waves right now :)

All the best, guys... Stay safe!

Looking forward to seeing you back in the Caribbean.

If you'd like to meet Phil & Laura and go sailing with them aboard Storm Petrel, let us know! They will be in New England for a bit doing day sails, weekends, partial or full week charters. Starting in November, Storm Petrel will be available for sailing vacations in the Virgin Islands and other Caribbean destinations.

See previous blog posts about STORM PETREL.

STORM PETREL is currently available for CHRISTMAS & NEW YEARS
