Small to mid-sized luxury sailing charter yachts often offer all-inclusive charter packages. Specifically in the Virgin Islands. Their larger megayacht counterparts are hesitant to do the same. Superyachts opt for a la carte pricing. They simply charge customers for each and every expense incurred. For instance food, alcohol, dockage, etc.
This summer, Captain Bernard Calot and his crew of 5 buck that trend. They offer all-inclusive mega yacht charter vacations in the Virgin Islands onboard the 121′ motor yacht OLGA!
From May 15 through September 1, 2011, an all-inclusive rate of $69,900 per week will be offered. In addition, a price of $55,000 per week for shorter 5 day odysseys.
Rates are valid for up to 8 persons. They include fuel, food, soft drinks, ship’s bar, and selective dockage. Specialty items such as vintage wines and premium spirits are available. Subsequently, at extra cost.
This special rate even includes spa treatments. In addition, manicures. More importantly, from the yacht’s onboard certified massage therapist! (What a perfect wedding anniversary vacation!)
Launched in 2003, Crescent motor yacht OLGA is an incredibly clean and well-maintained yacht. She is a Jack Sarin design. The yacht features a beautiful hard wood interior. In specific, Sapele and Pomele Mahogany. The woods are complimented by tasteful, upscale furnishings.
The yacht’s full-time chef, Claire, is Cordon Bleu-trained. Captain Bernard, Mate Clem, and deckhand Rafael can help you burn off the extra calories. Specifically, through water activities including Scuba diving from the yacht for certified divers. In addition to SCUBA, this well-equipped yacht is set up for fun on the water. It carries an extensive inventory of toys. For instance, snorkel gear, kayaks, and a Hobie Wave catamaran. In addition, waterskis, towable toys, fishing equipment, and a 22’ highspeed tender.
