HOW TOSECURE YOUR BOOKING. If you decide to book with us, press that book now button. We will then send you a contract that must be signed. Once signed, a 50% deposit is due when you make the booking minus any amount you paid to VRBO already. That payment is either through wire transfer or ACH. The remaining 50% is due 90 days before the charter starts.
WHAT TO EXPECT SOON BEFORE THE VACATION BEGINS About two weeks before the charter begins I will give you a piece of paper to fill out that we give to the crew. They then use that for catering to your food, beverage and entertainment needs. It also states the standard ships bar which is pretty extensive. If there are any special types of beer or wine that you prefer, they will try to procure that. If you are into expensive or specialty alcohols/wines, they will also procure that for an additional cost to you. This sheet also asks what your vacation style is. Such as whether you are a chill and yoga person, or a partygoer, or perhaps you are you a little of everything. This helps the crew to understand how to develop your vacation.
HOW TO GET TO THE BOAT You need to book your flights to St. Thomas USVI. (Stt). Our boat is parked about 15 minutes from the airport so you could take the cab from the airport and be on the boat enjoying a painkiller within 30 minutes of getting out of the airport. The crew will greet you and brief you on an agenda and likely set a course that afternoon depending on your arrival time. Additionally, if you arrive early before noon on the day your charter begins, Yacht Haven Grande (the marina) has a nice, secure office where you can store your luggage and a gorgeous lagoon pool for you to relax in while waiting to board the boat.
WHAT TO PACK Most people overpack. All you need is: sneakers/flip-flops swimsuits T-shirts/shorts Dresses/ collared shirts (if you want to go out a few evenings) underwear/socks hat/sunglasses phone/camera Medium-sized dry bag sunscreen first-aid kit Medicines/special dietary supplements cash(roughly $400 - $800 for shopping) 15% -20% Tip for the crew (They take cash, Venmo, or Zelle) Instead of suitcases, you’re better off with duffel bags as they compress small when emptied and they can be stuffed under your bed in a compartment.
