Crew aboard BVI Charter Catamaran Reaction tie the knot!

Ian and Polly, the professional crew aboard Reaction, a 55' luxury catamaran charter yacht in the BVI, may have recently "tied the knot", but they have been together for 13 years now. They have been successfully working in the charter yacht industry in the BVIs for the last 6 of those. They have an intimate knowledge of the islands, both above and below water, and take pride in tailoring the daily itinerary to the needs and desires of each group for a perfect vacation. Ian and Polly are creative people who have a friendly and laid back disposition and a professional attitude that will make you feel totally at home while on board. They share a great deal of trust and communication, and work as a polished and professional team.

Reaction is a 55' Jeanneau Lagoon, one of the fastest and most luxurious cruising catamarans ever built. She boasts comfortable accomodations for 8, including two aft queen cabins, a starboard double berth cabin plus a port cabin with single upper & lower berths, all with private ensuite electric heads & showers.

As Ian and Polly would tell you, "Let your spirit of adventure soar with an amazing variety of activities. Whatever you wish to do, whenever you wish to do it, we're there to make it happen. Because we love adventure too!"

BVI Crewed Catamaran Viking Dream wins "Best Multihull 2009" Award!

At the recent British Virgin Island (BVI) charter yacht shows, the crewed charter yacht Viking Dream won the coveted "Best Multihull under 50' award". Her owners and crew, Mark and Sally were obviously thrilled with the award, but this comes as no surprise as they work extremely hard on maintaining their yacht, keeping it updated and fresh, and striving to ensure that guests of all ages have fun on their yacht charters. Sally told us that their goal is to never get complacent, and this fact shows in the fact that they enjoy a 70% repeat business! They are passionate about being professional, knowledgeabale, and fun, and helping their guests "live the dream" as seen in the recent guest comment below:

"As you both know this was to be our “test voyage”. Our goal was to evaluate a catamaran lifestyle. I have come to realise as the week has progressed, that having selected you two as our crew has severely biased our judgement. If owning a boat that is crewed as perfectly as this one has been, is to be evaluated in a fair light, then we should just write the check. If all crews are as professional, knowledgeable and gracious as you, then how could anyone not long for this lifestyle! Mark your constant desire to impart information was perfect for our appetite for sailing, and Sally your phenomenal skills in the galley were only exceeded by your warm and caring heart. Thanks ever so much for your constant caring for our needs. But most importantly thanks for becoming our friends.

Crewed Yacht Charters On The Rise As Travelers Tire Of Being "Tourists"

In a recent press release Travis Lindberg, Captain of Pentesilea II, a Virgin Island based crewed charter yacht, comments that travelers are missing out on the true hidden treasures of the Virgin Islands. Like others who have had the opportunity to experience a crewed charter yacht vacation first-hand, Travis feels that a sailing vacation provides the ideal way to get out of the tourist traps and into pure paradise. Travis commented that "People are starting to feel trapped and bored at resorts, and I don't blame them." Travis also feels lucky to be able to make a living doing what he loves most and understands that sharing the magic of the islands that he calls home - specifically the British Virgin Islands - is simply a bonus.

Crewed sailing vacations are a mostly undiscovered gem in the travel industry. Guests aboard these yachts get the best of all worlds - a new island each day, gourmet meals, access to various onboard watersports, and the service of a professional Captain and Crew, just waiting to cater to their every whim.
