Seas & Greetings! 'Tis Time for Cheerful Charter Chatter
Ahoy, dear reader!

The holidays are nearly here and your near and dear will soon appear! Advice abounds about managing holiday conversations so we'll weigh in, as well:

Keep convos cool by guiding them toward travel topics, like "Where would we go if we chartered a yacht for an adventure with family and friends?

You'll be "chuffed" at how quickly choosing charters turns chatter cheerful! Say that 10 times fast! (Influence of my British friends here. :-)

These days, people put experiences on their wish lists rather than Play Stations and gift cards. Yacht charters offer customized adventures that make long-lasting holiday memories for all who join in.

So which destination is best for you and your peeps? We suggest the Caribbean, Thailand, Southeast Asia, the Galapagos, the Baja/Sea of Cortez and Belize at this time of year.

With all that's going on around us, and a strong sense of carpé diem in the air, we recommend thinking outside the box and bow this year: put a yacht charter adventure on the wish lists of your loved ones.
At your service,  Carol & Sue
Think outside the box and bow and elevate your red and green holiday theme this year.
Reality TV show Amazing Race winners Colin Guinn and Christie Woods have a new inspiration that they want to share with the world: she's called TWIN FLAME and they say this about her:

“This isn’t just a 62-foot catamaran; this is a floating experience center that we’ve crafted to bring all of our favorite parts of being alive on planet Earth and share them with you.”

Based in the   Caribbea n, 62ft catamaran  TWIN FLAME   sleeps 8 guests in 4 cabins, is run by a stellar crew of 3, and features lots of the latest water toys including a fully-electric hydrofoil surfboard.

For those whose new year's resolutions include unplugging, de-stressing, getting fit, having more fun and less screen time, sailing in Belize is a superb place to discover in the Winter.

This past January, I had the opportunity to sail out of Belize City on the   46ft Fountaine Pajot catamaran TRANQUILO . This beautiful and aptly-named yacht was our wellness and yoga retreat in Belize. While I may not have perfected my yoga headstand on this fam trip, I can confirm that it’s better to practice yoga on the forward deck of your private yacht than on a paddleboard!
