Have you ever experienced the magic of the wind on a sail? Feeling the wind coming at you, and somehow moving up into it by sail alone? There is no feeling like it, the wonder at how this quiet, smooth motion can propel a yacht forward while you relax in comfort. Or learn to sail it yourself, there are yachts captained by certified sailing instructors who can teach you the mysteries of sailing. The gentle trade winds here in the Virgin Islands virtually guarantee that you'll have steady winds to take you wherever you want to go.

In minutes, you can learn how to see the underwater world easily and comfortably. Coral reefs, colorful fish, octopus, everything the Discovery Channel has, and more! Most yachts have snorkel gear for you to use, and can teach you everything you need to know to be relaxed in the water. Don't forget to look for a disposable waterproof camera you can take pictures to rival Jacques Cousteau's (well, maybe not, but close).

The sun can be relentless between 12 noon and 4 in the afternoon, so the best time to swim anywhere in Greece is between 9-11 AM and 4-8 PM. The sea is usually very calm in the morning hours, and as a rule the afternoon breeze brings some waves of varying sizes and intensity.

Your own charter yacht can take you to "secret" beaches, or to the big ones. It is your choice. And rather than see the same beach every day, you can see a new beach everyday if you like. Beautiful white sand beaches, shell beaches, even rocky climbing beaches; whatever suit your tastes.

Select a yacht with Dive Instructors on board, and you can gain full access to the underwater world. You do not have to be a Navy SEAL to enjoy SCUBA diving, people from ages 12 to 80 have gotten certified and enjoy this relaxing way to view the reefs up close at their leisure. For certified divers, there are yachts that offer casual diving, and others that are much more dive oriented.

Shopping on the Greek islands is a must. Every island has their own unique folk art, from colorful pottery to paintings, from beautiful handmade jewlery to leather clothes and goods. Every island has a small "agora" at the port, small shops, one next to the other that make window shopping a lot of fun!

In the calm waters of our protected bays, you can enjoy water-skiing and kneeboarding, whether you've done it before or just want to try it out. And with water that's so warm and nice, who cares if you fall down?

There are many places you can have a wonderful meal, but how many chef's can follow you around from island to island on your vacation like your own chef aboard your chartered yacht? Experience local foods and gourmet favorites (and those may even have a local twist).

The best part of your own chartered yacht is that you will fill out detailed preference sheets beforehand to let us know what you like, what you don't, and what you're willing to try. Just look through the comments that our chef's have received from their guests to see what we mean.

Night clubs

The nightlife on the Greek Islands is famous! You can find clubs, bars, pubs, ouzeries, live greek music entertainment. Every island offers plenty of entertaiment and the party lasts till the early hours of the morning.

Swing from a hammock on deck with your favorite book, or one selected from the boat's shelves. You set the pace, if you don't feel the need to move we won't make you. If you want to do more, we can accommodate that too, certainly, but this is your vacation. Take long relaxing walks on the beach, or just sit and watch a gorgeous Caribbean sunset that can take an hour.
