CHARTER STORIESA relaxing Caribbean journey full of fun and local flavor.While in the Caribbean, a group of brokers had a unique

opportunity to enjoy a few days onboard 140' Proteksan-

Turquoise M/Y Capricorn. Fam-trips like this provide

first-hand knowledge of our yachts and services and this

sets us apart when catering to your charter needs.

Our route took us from Antigua to Nevis, St. Kitts, St.

Barths, and finally St. Maarten. We left Antigua

in choppy seas and brisk winds but the newly

installed zero-speed stabilizers made the passage

enjoyable. Captain Eddie’s boat-handling and the

crew’s attentive service was exceptional.

The approach to Nevis is spectacular. With

Nevis Peak reaching for the sky at a height of

985 metres, the island is one of the prettiest

and most dramatic in the West Indies.

The fresh scent of the sea and blooming flora is a true sensory delight.Although it is possible to climb Nevis Peak with

a guide, certain parts are challenging. Our group

elected to use a local land guide and explore the

island’s interior. Nevis is known for her restored sugar

plantations and exotic flora and fauna. There are five

restored plantations that are now elegant inns. Each

has a unique style and amenities fitting a relaxing stay

in peaceful surroundings. The history of these inns is

fascinating and a visit to each is worthwhile to admire

the landscape or enjoy a scrumptious lunch or dinner.

Our guide took us to Montpelier Plantation Inn, a 300

year-old sugar plantation that now embraces effortless

luxury with stunning sea views. Lord Horatio Nelson

wed the Nevisian widow Frances Nisbet in 1787 here

under the branches of a silk cotton tree. Next we

visited the Golden Rock Plantation Inn with impeccably

maintained grounds and one of the most amazing

displays of flowering trees and plants found anywhere

in the Caribbean. A stroll on the nature trails featuring

lush gardens and the fresh smells of sea and blooming

flora is a sensory delight. The restored Inn is gorgeous

with 5-star service and common areas all artistically

decorated and beautifully maintained.

In Nevis the locals are so friendly that they like to say: “You’re only a stranger here once.”After Nevis, we were on to St. Kitts, a intoxicating island with sandy beaches and unparalleled natural beauty. St. Kitts also

features restored plantations and beautiful resorts. One of the most luxurious is Christophe Harbour encompassing 2,300

acres on the SE peninsula, where we enjoyed an incredible lunch and afternoon swimming in the warm azure seas and

the inn’s infinity pool. Christophe Harbour is still under development, but will include a superyacht marina and village, a golf

course, restaurants, and high-end luxury residential ownership opportunities when complete. There will be no luxury resort

like it anywhere in the Caribbean. A day here is “a must”, an hour passes like a minute in these beautiful tropical surroundings.

The French island of St. Barths offers opportunities for people-watching, chic shops and fabulous restaurants in the town of

Gustavia, along with glorious white sand beaches on the opposite side. There are 14 beaches in all. Gouverneur, Flamands,

Saline, St. Jean and Toiny are well known. Few are crowded, even in peak season, and all are free and open to the public.

After a stroll around Gustavia we enjoyed swimming and snorkeling off the yacht anchored in the beautiful Colombier Bay.

The Capricorn crew pampers every guest and ensures a fabulous luxury charter experience.Our drop off destination was St. Maarten, on the Dutch

side. This island is bustling with casinos, great duty free

shopping, and Princess Juliana International Airport

where flights arrive and depart daily from all major

countries. St. Maarten is only a few hours from the best

Caribbean islands, and a convenient place to begin or

end your charter. Take a taxi into Philipsburg’s Front

Street for duty-free jewelry, electronics, watches and

more, and visit the French side for a quaint dinner and

quiet evening. We chose the restaurant Le Calmos

Café, a delightful secluded spot directly on the beach

in Grand Case, where we enjoyed a simply delicious

meal sitting at picnic tables in the sand, waited on by

the very attentive staff who served us fabulous fresh

fish and local delicacies. There are many more to

choose from in the main town of Marigot.

It was most saddening to witness the arrival of the

taxi for our trip to the airport. The crew on Capricorn

made us feel part of the family, all the while pampering

us with incredible attentiveness, fun and gastronomic

indulgence. We highly recommend the experience

of a luxury yacht charter in the Caribbean to anyone

seeking the best life has to offer!
