Sardinia Luxury Tax on Mediterranean Yacht Charter Vessels Abolished

Posted by admin
The manager of 100 foot superyacht INSATIABLE reached out to us today. Seems the owner of this super-popular Virgin Islands yacht charter vessel wants to shore up a gap in his reservation calendar and has offered us an incentive to secure a booking during the last two weeks of January, 2017.
Per the yacht’s manager, the owner of Broward yacht INSATIABLE has graciously offered us $1000 for any 7-night yacht charter Virgin Islands reservation we can deliver, to close his calendar for January.
This is given in the spirit of Jana Sheeder, President of 1-800 Yacht Charters and her Team’s belief in Generosity and Giftivism. A gift to start your year off right. If you charter yacht INSATIABLE through 1-800 Yacht Charters, for either the third or fourth week of January, 2017, in the British and/or US Virgin islands, we’ll pass our $1000 bonus on to you – in the form of an instant rebate.
This is an exclusive offer – only available from 1-800 Yacht Charters – with our compliments.
Built by Broward Marine, the 100 foot yacht INSATIABLE offers affordable luxury for up to 6 guests in 3 staterooms. She recently received a brand new paint job, and underwent a refit, with many interior upgrades. Her special features make her the ultimate Virgin Islands luxury yacht charter option for small families or three couples. For instance, 32′ Intrepid center console towed tender, with twin 225 horsepower Mercury engines. It is great for fishing or exploration. In addition, a second tender, a 14′ Novurania with 50 mph that is excellent for towing a wake board or water-skiing. Next, a wave runner and 2 single-person kayaks. Moreover, the yacht has lots of snorkel gear. Lastly, she has three double guest cabins.
Caribbean Rate: $29,500 USD per week + running expenses (items such as food, fuel, bar, dockage, etc.)
You’ll receive an instant rebate of $1000 off the rate of $29500, and pay only $28,500 – a savings of 3%

A spectacular superyacht has a last-minute cancellation. We at 1-800 Yacht Charters are pleased to announce a special opportunity. This is your time to discover Antarctica this January on the world’s largest ice-breaking yacht. She is 77 meter (254 ft) motor yacht LEGEND.
We first introduced our readers to expedition yacht charter vessel LEGEND. We also discussed her upcoming schedule for Antarctica in a blog in October. Owner Jan Verkerk gave the green light to accept reservations in Antarctica through mid February, 2017. The ship is a commercial vessel from 1973. She was then purchased by Verkerk. He outfitted her in 2015-2016 as the ultimate luxury ice-breaker. This enabled charter clients the unique opportunity to explore one of the last great frontiers on the planet earth. This is from the comfort of a luxury yacht charter vessel.
The yacht is packed full of features. For instance, a helicopter and a 3-man submarine. Super yacht LEGEND allows her guests to explore the rare frozen world. She has an entirely new angle. Think of the early explorers who trekked across the frozen tundra in snowshoes and slept in tents!
Intimate gatherings and relaxation can be found in the cinema, the Balinese-themed spa, or bubbling away on deck in the heated Jacuzzi. There’s even a real fireplace in the saloon where you can cozy up and enjoy a good book.
Active guests can get their hearts pumping with a workout in the gym, exploring the ice packs on snow scooters, or hiking and coming face-to-face with the wildlife.
The weekly rate for up to 26 guests is $460,000 plus running expenses, for example, food, fuel, dockage, bar, etc. (In addition, commercial passenger ship local taxes only when applicable). The charter fee includes personal laundry, normal communication costs, hotel supplies and basic internet. In addition, the speed is 248/512 internet speed. Higher internet speed is possible, but not included in the charter fee.
Further details of seasonal rates:
After spending time in Antarctica, equally important, the yacht will head to South America and the Caribbean, then on to the Mediterranean for the summer. Here are her current, confirmed expedition yacht charter vacations, and her schedule.

A big surprise awaited 1-800 Yacht Charters at the 2016 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show. We inspect several private yacht charter vessels for our clients planning vacations in the Caribbean each winter. Our professional organization, the Florida Yacht Brokers Association (FYBA) emailed membership regarding “big news” announcement at the show.
It certainly IS big news: Florida Yacht Brokers Association (FYBA) rebrands as the International Yacht Brokers Association (IYBA)
On Friday, November 4th, Cindy Sailor, our FYBA Executive Director, held a news conference at the FYBA display booth to announce the change.
“When we mapped out the FYBA membership, it reinforced what we already knew, that FYBA is truly an international organization with members operating in popular yachting areas not just in Florida but around the globe,” said Sailor. “Our new name, ‘International Yacht Brokers Association,’ better reflects who we are — the largest and most prestigious group of professional yacht and charter brokers in the world.”
When asked to comment, our own company head honcho, Jana Sheeder, President of 1-800 Yacht Charters, expressed her support of the change.
“The 1300-plus members of our association are dedicated to raising the standard of professionalism in our industry. While many of us have home offices here in South Florida, the yachting capital of the world, many of our member’s sales and yacht charter private vacations take place in other parts of the world. This rebranding better portrays the diversity of our global reach and the impact our members have on the overall yachting industry.”
It is an organization from nearly 30 years ago. Members represent more than 400 businesses. First, businesses are responsible for 20 percent of all international yacht sales. Second, they equate to 50 percent of all U.S. domestic yacht sales. Third, a staggering 80 percent of all yacht sales transactions held in the state of Florida.
The world’s leading charter brokerages, such as Fraser Yachts, Camper and Nicholsons, Northrop and Johnson, and boutique independent agencies like our own 1-800 Yacht Charters are all IYBA members.
The influence of IYBA extends beyond yacht sales and luxury yacht charter services. The IYBA Public Affairs Committee lobbies the U.S. and Florida legislation for the benefit of the yachting industry as a whole. This regards multiple issues. For instance, boating safety and regulations, financial affairs, and environmental matters.
Sailor believes our members and our Association have earned the recognition of our peers around the globe.
“As we go into the 2016 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, an event that also started out as Florida-specific and grew into the world’s largest in-water boat show, our new brand positioning will help IYBA members to command the respect from our domestic and international colleagues that they deserve” said Sailor.
Here, here, Cindy – we couldn’t agree more!!! (The similarity of IYBA’s new corporate logo to our long-established 1-800 Yacht Charters logo shows the kindred spirit of the yacht charter and brokerage industries!) Nice to know that we are consistently monitored and duplicated. Very flattering. Just shows that 1-800 Yacht Charters, the originator of The Superyacht Experience™, is THE industry leader!

So, you’re just itching to get back on the water and enjoy another private luxury yacht charter vacation. Suddenly, you remember your wife mentioned it was time to renew your family’s passports…six months ago!
Now you’re in a pickle. You go to the United States Department of State website, and your heart sinks… According to the site, the total time it takes to process a routine passport application, and for you to receive the mailed passport, is 4 to 6 weeks. Yikes!
Even with expedited (code for: “more expensive”) service, it will still take at least 2-3 weeks from the time of application, including mailing time.
Without valid passports, it looks like that last-minute charter yacht vacation is going to be put on hold.
Or is it?????????
Fortunately for you, there are several great Caribbean yacht charter destinations where a passport is not required to enjoy a luxury yacht charter holiday. These destinations are often overlooked by Americans – bypassed for the traditional charter hotspots like the British Virgin Islands, St Barts, and the Bahamas. Most are within a half-day’s travel time from much of the United States, and are all are well worth a visit by boat.
Here are three of our favorite destinations where bare feet and bathing suits are the dress code, and passports are not required…
Things to do:
There are just SO many wonderful activities to do in St. Thomas. Here are just a few (thanks to the USVI Tourism Bureau):
Booking a luxury yacht charter in one of these passport–free destinations is as simple as contacting the charter professionals here at 1-800 Yacht Charters at https://1800yachtcharters.com/book-now-contact-us/ . You don’t even need to tell us you forgot to renew your passport – we’ll probably guess, anyway! Just tell us the destination you wish to visit, your desired dates, how many guests in your party, and your preferred budget. We’ll take it from there!!!
