Once you decide on a yacht and secure the   dates for the desired destination, we'll send you the necessary paperwork required to   reserve your charter.

   We will then work with you to personalize your vacation by understanding your   preferences, arranging for the water sports equipment of your choice as well as jet or   helicopter service, private excursions, limousine transfers... anything that will help make   your stay pleasurable. Please let us know all your likes and dislikes; we love to pay   attention to details such as your favorite CDs, DVDs, choice of gourmet cuisines,   selection of wines, your favorite flowers and anything else you desire. We can also arrange   a spectacular party on board for your guests or that pleasant surprise you wish to give that   someone special. So, step on board, get pampered and enjoy the bubbly champagne and   white sandy beaches as you coast along at your pace across the blue waters.
