We’ve been busy this season booking clients all over the world – Sardinia, Greece, Fiji, the Caribbean, Bermuda and of course, New England.
Areas which generated a lot of interest include Fiji, the Balearics, and the US Pacific Northwest. All are known destinations for great “adventure” travel. They have since evolved into luxury travel destinations with many new quality yachts cruising these areas. While we don’t have room to extoll the virtues of each destination, we are happy to feature a yacht cruising these areas in 2017 and 2018.
