Where does the time go? The past 2 ½ years

have passed at warp speed. As the luxury travel

market continues to improve, the yachting vacation

demand is at the highest we have seen in the past

10 years. More and more people are booking their

yacht vacation 6–12 months out in order to secure

their preferred week.

So where do you want to go this winter? We

cannot say that the options are endless, but the

continual efforts by the Caribbean Island nations

and their improving airports make getting there

a little easier every day. Both the U.S. and British

Virgin Islands continue to be popular cruising

destinations. With a plethora of flights available

into San Juan, Puerto Rico and short connecting

flights, a hop to the Virgin Islands is a very

popular choice. St. Maarten and Antigua provide

simple embarkation and disembarkation ports for

guests coming to/from North America, Western

Europe and South America. A bit further south,

St. Lucia & St. Vincent compete to get visitors

to their beautiful islands.

There are more yachts available for charter

in 2014 than there were just a few years ago.

Because of this increase in competition, yachts

have continued to improve service, offer more

amenities and add more toys for guests to enjoy.

On the larger motor yachts, waterslides are

becoming the norm.

The increasing number of yachts in the luxury

charter pool has made our job even more

important. We continue to travel the world

attending boat shows and fam-trips to inspect

vessels and meet with their captains and crew.

On a sad note, we want to pass along to you the

news that one of our long-time charter brokers, Rikki

Davis, passed away at the end of June. For over 30

years Rikki booked yacht charters in every corner of

the world. As a pioneer in the charter industry, many

portions of the MYBA charter contract were written

because of Rikki’s experiences.

To whet your travel appetite we leave you with

a wonderful charter itinerary out of St. Lucia or

St. Vincent. We look forward to working with you

on your next yachting vacation and we thank

you for giving us the opportunity to share our

knowledge and experience with you and create

that perfect vacation.

All the best,

Maggie Vale, Mary Vice-Copeland, Laura Berton,

Lara-Jo Houghting, Kaisa Pace and Ben Osborn.

ST. LUCIA | Although guests could spend an entire

week chartering in St. Lucia alone, our sample

itinerary heads south into the Grenadines. Most

guests will board their yacht in Marigot Bay, a little

more than an hour drive from the airport. Guests

can spend time in St. Lucia exploring the national

park’s well-laid trails or zip lining over the rainforest’s

canopy before the yacht heads south past the

Pitons and onto St. Vincent. For those chartering a

sailing yacht, the open sea between St. Lucia and

St. Vincent (approx 30 miles) offers exciting sailing.

ST. VINCENT | For those who desire to spend extra

time in the Tobago Cays, we recommend beginning

in St. Vincent where the yacht will be 10–15 minutes

away from the airport near Young Island.

DAY ONE | Meet your captain and crew in St.

Vincent and settle in with a tour of the yacht and

lunch onboard. Spend the afternoon and evening

anchored off Chateaubelair on the west coast of

the island. The remote town, a large fishing village

with many untouched beaches, epitomizes true

Caribbean culture. Cap off the day with a relaxing

dinner prepared by the yacht’s chef.

DAY TWO | Explore Chateaubelair’s many local

attractions, including Trinity Falls, Dark View Falls,

and the rock carvings believed to have been

left by Carib Indians. The visit to Dark View Falls

requires a very exhilarating river crossing. You

won’t get wet though. The crossing is in the form

of a bridge made of long bamboo poles. The pools

at the bottom of the Falls are great for relaxing in.

DAY THREE | Cruise to the island of Bequia and

anchor in picturesque Admiralty Bay. Bequia is

tailor-made for sailing enthusiasts and beach lovers.

Tour the island known as “Tropical Nantucket” and

get up close to the sea turtles at Old Hegg Turtle

Sanctuary. Find yourself swimming with them during

your snorkeling or diving expedition.

DAY FOUR | Cruise to Mustique during breakfast

and pick up a mooring in Britannia Bay and be sure

to grab lunch at Basil’s Bar. After lunch find solitude

in a walk or horseback ride around this gorgeous

island. Grab a mask, snorkel and fins and explore

the underwater sea life while the rest of your group

enjoys the beautiful beaches and turquoise waters.

DAY FIVE & SIX | Welcome to Tobago Cays—the

intimate cluster of five uninhabited cays, heavenly

lagoons full of coral reefs, green turtles, colorful fish

and clear waters. The Tobago Cays Marine Park is one

of the world’s most awe inspiring island destinations.

Walk to every corner of the yacht’s deck and just look

out and relax. No camera will do the view justice.

Every yacht captain has his or her favorite spot. Put on

the swim suit, mask, snorkel and fins, and jump in. Kite

and wind surfers can gear up for a thrilling afternoon.

You won’t want to leave. During dinner the yacht

heads to Petit St. Vincent to anchor for the night.

DAY SEVEN | The last day onboard has you cruising

to Grenada. Spend an extra night onshore and

explore “Spice Island” and her history. Make plans

with the Captain to come back next year to enjoy

Union Island, Palm Island, Canouan and Carriacou.

The perfect Caribbean charter. ST. LUCIA AND ST. VINCENT OFFER IDEAL BEGINNINGS TO A YACHTING VACATION.

It is with heavy hearts and much sadness that the team at Churchill Yacht Partners

announces that our team member, friend and charter industry legend, Rikki Davis,

passed away on June 29th. Rikki was an icon in the industry, being one of the pioneers

in the world of yacht charter. She helped shape the business at a time when it was still

developing. Rikki traveled many oceans aboard some of the nicest charter yachts, cruising

throughout the Caribbean, Mediterranean, New England, Canada’s Maritime Provinces,

and the South Pacific. Rikki sold her business to Churchill Yacht Partners in 2005 and

remained active with the company through 2014. Smooth sailing on your last voyage Rikki.
