Charter in New England this summer

New England

America's yachting tradition began in these coastal waters

America is a relatively young nation, but history abounds in New England where the country's first settlers planted roots. From the dark days of Salem's witch trials to the rebellious ride of Paul Revere, New England is rich in antiquity. Through those trials and triumphs, great traditions were born, many of which are still seen and celebrated today.

Cruise the coastal waters of New England and you'll spy classic New England homes clad with gray shingles next to magnificent lighthouses. Pop ashore for an old-fashioned clam or lobster bake. America's yachting tradition began in these coastal waters. The beautiful islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard are summer havens for New Englanders who wish to escape the city heat for the relaxed breezes of the northern Atlantic Ocean.

Wander the cobblestone streets while enjoying an afternoon ice cream and pursuing the antique markets and you're sure to fall in love. From the modern metropolis of Boston to quaint fishing villages like Block Island, the best way to experience New England is by sea on board a crewed, luxury charter yacht.

New England is spectacularly beautiful and full of history and charm, making it the ideal location for a summer yacht charter vacation. Its quaint port towns, sandy beaches, romantic islands, small shops and art galleries, and fine restaurants ooze understated elegance. There is a long tradition of fishing and sailing that is apparent at every stop.

New England is an adventure playground for children and parents alike. There is ample of watersports, rock concerts and fabulous food (especially for seafood lovers!). This historically astonishing destination has incredible monuments and you can't just go once to see it all, but you will be more than happy to come back for another sailing vacation.

Summer 2018 Events

Here are a few events you might find interesting. Of course, there are lots of things going on. Just do a quick search for "events in Nantucket 2018", for example, and you'll find sculpture & sandcastle day, Boston Pops concert, film festival, comedy festival, etc. New England also has great kite flying. It is a beautiful sight to see.

Catamaran New Years Charters 2018/19 - Virgin Islands

Catamaran Charters for New Years 2018/19

Today we searched the calendars for catamarans who are available for all-inclusive, crewed New Years charters in the Virgin Islands. We're quite pleased that there's still a good selection of yachts to choose from, ranging from a 2-person charter to a party of 10.

(Click here for Christmas Charters)

This listing is grouped into categories by the maximum number of guests each yacht can accommodate, and then sorted alphabetically. Most catamarans have a flat rate for the holiday weeks.

Please note that, for example, you can book an 8-person boat for a group of 6 people. If it is a flat-rate boat you will have to pay the 8-person rate but maybe you can pickup a couple of friends to join you to share the expense (or a Christmas gift!) or you might have a single person that wants a cabin to themselves so you want to book a boat with four cabins for 6 people.

Questions? No problem...

So, without further ado, here we go!

8-month anniversary of Hurricane Irma

Can't believe 8 months have passed since Hurricane Irma. Hurricane Irma hit the Virgin Islands on September 7, 2017 followed by Maria about 2 weeks later.

Things are getting so much better all the time. Wonderful Beatle tune.

Here is an example from News Of St John. Enjoy the pretty pictures and happy people.

Did you find that inspiring? It is beautiful in the Virgin Islands. Come on down and experience the islands on an all-inclusive, crewed yacht charter sailing vacation.

Willy T's Update - May 6, 2018

The Willy T is back! Well, almost... It soon come!

The Official Willy T Fan Club reports: "The William Thornton floating bar is finally on her way back home! The Willy T should arrive back at the Bight at Norman Island sometime between May 13th - 15th! We are looking forward to seeing all of our friends and family from all over... it's been too long! See you soon! BVI Strong!"

The Willy T is a floating bar and restaurant located in The Bight at Norman Island. It has been a top attraction for more than 35 years. The new boat is almost an exact replica of its predecessor (a bit bigger) and can be enjoyed at the same location.


Here's an Associated Press photo of removing the Willy T's off the beach where it ended up after Hurricane Irma back in September 2017.

This YouTube video must have been shot just a few moments later...

Catamaran Salty Girl : Short Charter Special Offer

SALTY GIRL (a 40-foot, 3-cabin Leopard catamaran) is offering special rates for guests wanting more than a day-sail, but who do not have the time or are not ready to commit to a full weeks' charter.

Catamaran Salty Girl - All inclusive catamaran charters in the Virgin Islands

While many charter yachts will not accept a booking for less than 4 or 5 nights, Tresa and Philip are happy to offer these trips, specifically designed to tempt villa and resort guests into giving yacht chartering a try.

Many villas and resorts are still closed for repair caused by September's hurricanes but the charter yacht sector bounced back fairly quickly. The beach bars didn't take much to get back on line and we still have excellent diving & snorkelling. Fewer cruiseships and resorts means more Paradise for you! Come on down and charter Catamaran Salty Girl for the weekend. Mid-week works, too, as well as full weeks. Don't you deserve a quick getaway?

Inquire and find out if your dates are available!

View Salty Girl's online brochure to learn more. Contact Paradise Connections: Send us an email for info and current availability.

The following special rates are for all-inclusive charters (boat, crew, full board, use of boat's "toys", port taxes and permits, air conditioning, etc).

• 2 night, 3 days USVI only adventure
  2 guests=$2850  3=$2950  4=$3100  5=$3200  6=$3325

Hurricane Recovery - St Martin

Just a few photos to show you hurricane recovery taking place on the island of St Martin.

Photo credit: AFP

 This site has a post with photos taken just after Hurricane Irma and a comparison photo of the same scene 6 months later (has it really been 6 months already?). It refers to AFP's (Agence France Presse) Facebook page. I really appreciate user Poisson Rouge pointing this out as we do not use Facebook.

To view, go here. Click on a pair of photos and a pop-up photo window appears with the photos enlarged. Just below the black photo box are the player controls in a white font which I found difficult to see. There are 9 pairs of interesting pictures, so scroll through them.

VI RECOVERY - Foxy's on Jost Van Dyke

The hurricane recovery for the Virgin Islands (both USVI and BVI) is progressing along.

This afternoon we received this message from BVI Traveller about Foxy's ...

Foxy is Having a Party and EVERYONE is Invited to His 50th Anniversary Celebration!

March 18, 2018

Foxy is having a party and EVERYONE is invited.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 24, 2018 to celebrate 50 FOXY YEARS on Jost Van Dyke.

After unbelievable destruction to his bar and all of Jost Van Dyke, Foxy has worked to quickly get the world famous Foxy's Tamarind Bar open for business. Foxy has been on-site constantly, encouraging everyone with his positive songs and spirit!

On his Facebook page Foxy said, "The roof is still patchy, there is still random debris. The new "floating dock" makes drunken dinghy rides home a wee bit of a challenge. But we are getting stronger every day. Hope you're coming to see us soon!"

Recently, Foxy's held their first Famous Friday Beach BBQ of the 2017/2018 season. Rumor has it there was juicy ribs, grilled chicken, mahi mahi and oh, that pasta salad to enjoy! Not to mention lots of rum, jokes by Foxy and shakin' your thing on the dance floor.

Foxy says, "Come one, come all to Foxy's. Even Irmaria can't hold us back!"
