Sweet Success: US Virgin Islands Charter Yacht Show 2020

Due to Covid restrictions on travel, this is the first time that the USVI and BVI Charter Yacht Shows have gone virtual. We were able to attend the very well-thought-out interviews with the crew, their walk-throughs with their yachts, and all the benefits and features for the coming charter season safely from our office. We thank The Triton for allowing us to show these dedicated crew that are waiting for you in safety and sincerity.

Yacht Charters Offer Uniquely Safe Travel

We all want to travel.  We all need to feel safe.  This coming winter may pose some obstacles. According to a recent McKinsey report on airplane travel, travelers encounter 700 touch points with commercial air travel compared to 30-40 touchpoints in private plane charters. Of course, not everyone can spring for “flying private tail”, so for most of our clients, we suggest that yacht charters are uniquely safe and recommend Park & Embark travel in the USA for this winter’s and next summer’s getaway.
