Our approach
We do not keep a fleet. We keep a short list of the people who know every yacht worth boarding.
Tell us how you want to spend the holidays. Within a day, you are speaking with a specialist charter broker at an established international brokerage, with yachts chosen for your family, your dates and your pace. The introduction costs you nothing.
Three ways to spend the season
Each is a fully crewed private yacht with a chef. We share specific yachts, photographs and festive rates with you directly.

Three generations aboard. Long dinners on deck, a beach club at the waterline, more crew for every detail.

Yacht classes are illustrative. Specific yachts, availability and rates are confirmed by the brokerage. Most charter yachts carry up to 12 guests overnight.
The festive week
Ten days, told in the order you live them
Every festive charter is shaped around your family. This is how a week in the Leeward Islands often unfolds, from the first evening aboard to the first sunrise of the new year.
The crew prepares the yacht for the season before you arrive, so the celebration begins the moment you step aboard.
Plan your week- 23 DecARRIVAL

Met at the dock by the captain and crew. A tree already lit on the aft deck, cabins dressed for the season, dinner at anchor.
- 24 DecCHRISTMAS EVE
A quiet bay, a long table
A morning of swimming and water toys, then an evening dinner on deck designed with your chef.
- 25 DecCHRISTMAS DAY
Gifts at sunrise
Stockings for the children, a surprise arrival by tender, and Christmas lunch served where you choose: on deck or on a private beach.
- 26–30 DecTHE ISLANDS

Cruising at your pace with the captain: reefs, beach clubs, harbour dinners, or simply staying put.
- 31 DecNEW YEAR'S EVE

- 1 JanDEPARTURE
A slow last breakfast
One final swim before you step ashore.
Exclusive use
The yacht, every cabin and every deck, private to your group.
Professional crew
Captain, stewards and deckhands, day and night.
Private chef
Menus built around your family, including the festive meals.
Water toys and tender
Typically jet skis, paddleboards, snorkelling and beach days.
Your itinerary
Planned with the captain around weather, pace and wishes.
Festive styling
Tree, garlands, lighting and table settings arranged with the crew.
As is standard for crewed charters, food, drinks, fuel and berthing are paid through an advance provisioning allowance; local taxes and a customary crew gratuity are additional. Festive weeks usually carry a minimum of seven to ten nights. The brokerage confirms exact terms for each yacht before you book.
Family celebrations and weddings
The moments you will still be telling in twenty years
Working with a wedding or event planner? We work alongside them to find the yacht that suits the guest list, the destination and the day, and connect you with experienced event specialists if you need one.
Acquisitions
Buying or selling, quietly
Many fine yachts change hands without ever being advertised. We introduce owners and buyers to established brokerages that work in confidence, on the open market or entirely off it.
For owners thinking of selling
A confidential valuation
Curious what your yacht would achieve today, before deciding anything? We arrange a private view of her market value from an experienced listing broker at an established brokerage, without listing her anywhere.
- We ask forSize, builder, year, timeframe
- Valued byAn experienced listing broker
- Obligation to sellNone
For buyers
A private search
Share the size, budget and timeframe. We introduce you the same day to a buyer's broker suited to the brief, who can look beyond the open market to yachts that are quietly for sale.
- We ask forSize, budget, timeframe
- Your brokerChosen for the brief
- The searchOpen market and off market
Off market, if you prefer
A yacht can be offered quietly to a small circle of qualified buyers, with no public listing, photographs or price.
Named only when ready
Begin without naming the yacht. Share more with the broker when you are ready, not before.
One introduction
Your enquiry goes to one brokerage, chosen for the brief. It is never circulated around the market.
A valuation is a broker's view of the current market, not a formal survey. Every purchase and sale is contracted directly between you and the brokerage.
For private bankers, advisers and planners
Your client asks about a yacht. You know who to call.
Refer a client who wants to charter, celebrate at sea, or buy or sell a yacht, and we share our introduction fee with you on every deal that completes.
Private enquiry
Tell us what you have in mind
Every enquiry is handled in confidence. For Christmas and New Year, the earlier we speak, the better the choice of yachts.
