Sail into 2021 even if only in your dreams. We are here to make this years dreams a reality next year. Stuff those stockings with a yachting or sailing dream vacation in the Bahamas this year. With 16 major islands across 100,000 square miles of the world's clearest ocean, you can snorkel amongst colorful corals and tropical fish, sift for sand dollars, swim with pigs, and experience an all-day fish fry Bahamian style. 

Remember that sunshine, salt air, and the fresh catch of the day is good for the whole mind, body, and soul. 

Florida Keys - stretching about 120 miles off the southern tip of the U.S. state of Florida, the Florida Keys is famous for snorkeling, boating, scuba diving, and fishing. The best “foodie” part about the Winter is Stone Crab season! Stone crab claws are not only beautiful to look at, but are perhaps Florida’s most sustainable seafood, where laws prohibit fisherman from taking the whole crab, and the crab’s ability to regrow its claws fully within a year or two.

No tricks just treats this October season!

We have all had enough tricks in 2020, now it's time for some treats... Dressing up this Halloween? How about hosting a party at sea complete with your favorite pumpkin spice cocktail, like this Punpkin Spice White Russian.

Until you are ready to travel, we will relive some fond memories from past adventures. The new ones will be waiting for you. So, dream big! This is the first of a blog series down memory lane. 

Whether you’re hosting an island-inspired rendez-vous at home or looking to impress your friends at sea, we’ve collected some of our favorite yachting dishes that will send your tastebuds dancing.

Not only are these dishes delicious to the taste, but they’re also great eye candy for decorating your tablescape! 

Aboard Bella Vita, featured here is a pan cooked Wahoo served with a lemon and caper hollandaise sauce, and parsley oil with poached spinach and asparagus.

We’ve all been cooped up for quite some time now, but what better way to show Dad you love him than to plan him a vacation when this is all over? Give him the gift of family fun and togetherness in paradise. We will help you plan the perfect trip to make his day a special one, no matter when you plan to go! We’ll design a sample itinerary just for you so he has something to be excited about. 

Reopening soon!! Yes it is official!  While the British Virgin Islands have not yet picked a reopening date, The USVI will be open for tourist business on June 1st. Easy flights in and out of St. Thomas, USVI. This is a great cruising area and even more beautiful without the cruise ships. Florida recreational boating for private yachts is also opening up soon. The Bahamas are hoping to be open to yachting mid-June. We are watching and waiting for international borders across the globe to begin opening up.

From Florida to Maryland, the Carolinas, and Alaska, we’ve created a list of some top destinations to keep on your radar when you’re looking to book your next vacation in the United States. All of these destinations are accessible by boat so you can experience the best of both worlds on land and at sea. 

Looking to plan a vacation for your entire family including your favorite pooch? We understand how challenging it can be to find dog-friendly resorts or cruise ships in the islands, but now you can bring him or her aboard your own private yacht! He or she will feel right at home with you snuggled up on deck sunbathing on the ultimate yacht complete with state-of-the-art amenities. Below you'll find our favorite dog-friendly yachts to book this year!

We are holding you accountable, but we are here to help you achieve these goals!

Think of 2020 as a year of balance. Live well, eat well, rest well, and be well. While exercise is key, relaxing and eating well are also critical pieces to a well-balanced life.
