Why Charter?
Flexibility and independence are two of the main
reasons for spending your annual leave on a sailing
charter vacation. You choose your destination, and you
decide when you step onto terra firma. You avoid the
crowds when you want to be alone, or join them when
you feel like it. Viewing the landscape from your private
yacht will be your Kodak picture memory for life! You
can set your own pace, choose your desired destination
and take full control of your itinerary and eliminate
queuing at busy airports.
The key word to yacht chartering is FREEDOM. You are
the captain of your decisions. So, you decide when to
sail, when to eat and when to throw anchor at hidden
beaches or exotic ports. But should the notion for ‘living
it up’ take hold of you, you can join the exciting nightlife
in a bustling town or enjoy a meal in a popular haunt.
When hoisting your main sail and turning
the yacht into the wind, you set yourself to sail the
most exquisite coastlines. Glistening sapphire waters
and pristine white beaches will be the order of the
day. Dancing dolphins will be your entertainment hosts.
You can snorkel when you want to cool down or scuba
dive into the deep for a peep at vivid colored marine
life. Enjoy national parks at different destinations.
Rub shoulders with local people and stuff your shopping
bag with souvenir trophies. You will never be the same
once you have experienced a ‘Royalty Yachts’ vacation
and tasted the good life.
The most popular yacht charter destinations include the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Florida Keys, the Bahamas and the Whitsunday Islands in Australia. Royalty Yachts cover all these and in addition, has access to all the best charter boats in exotic locations such as the South Pacific, the Seychelles and Thailand. Can you feel the freedom?
In one respect chartering is the same as all other vacations.
They both take a certain amount of planning and preparation
to make sure you have the best trip. You also have to
pack your bags for either one. But charter vacation
will be all the better for being customized specifically
for you.
On board a luxury Royalty Yacht, you will find that
there is no better way to experience a taste of freedom,
elegance and style. You will also discover that a crewed
luxury yacht charter may end up costing no more than
an exclusive hotel or cruise ship. However, a fundamental
difference is that you have ultimate privacy, control
and as mentioned before – freedom! Something you’d never
find on a cruise ship or in a hotel.
Your luxury yacht will be the royal domain for you and
your friends, and the crew will attend to all your needs.
You’ll get service that is professional, personalized
and friendly. Your own personal chef onboard will provide
you with the best in cuisine, prepared to your liking,
and you can dine whenever you want without even making
a reservation. Take charge of your vacation and join
the growing numbers who sail in absolute luxury when
and where they choose to.
You will also find another range of fun choices on board
a luxury yacht. The water ‘toys’! Kayaks, windsurfers,
water-skis, jet skis and diving equipment to name a
few. These are often available for your entertainment.
Incredible but true, the larger super yachts may even
accommodate a helicopter pad, submarine bay, a gym or
a cinema. Every charter boat has its own speed boat
(tender) which can take guests water skiing, and take
passengers ashore during the day, to the beach, or at
night to enjoy a meal or other nightlife.

Travelling to the VIRGIN ISLANDS:
For a charter starting in Tortola, the most convenient option is to arrive in Tortola via San Juan, Puerto Rico. Alternatively a less expensive option but a longer travelling time is to arrive in St. Thomas and take a ferry to Tortola.
The ferry ride is 45 minutes and costs about $50 return per person. The ferries run several times daily from approximately 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, starting in Charlotte Amalie or Red Hook, St. Thomas and landing in West End or Road town, Tortola. Ferry reservations are not necessary.
In order to take the ferry the same day as your flight, you should arrive in St. Thomas before 3:00 pm. In case your only flight option is to arrive later than 3:00 pm, we suggest making hotel reservations in St. Thomas and taking a ferry the following morning to Tortola. If you are planning on leaving the same day that your charter ends we suggest a flight time of 2PM or after. Another option is that you can fly into St Thomas and out of Tortola or visa versa.
It is not possible to take a ferry from Tortola to St. Thomas for an early morning flight leaving from St. Thomas.
The ferries operating between St. Thomas and Tortola are Smith's Ferry, Tortola Fast Ferry and Native Son Ferry.

Islands are called such because they were more windward to sailing ships arriving
