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.

Mooning Over the Miami Yacht Show’s Best Boats

Last week, our intrepid veteran Charter Broker, Sue Gearan, headed south to report to our dear readers and clients on the best boats at the Miami Yacht Show (MYS). At the MYS’ new 2019 location, One Herald Plaza, between the Venetian and MacArthur causeways, Sue vetted beautiful and exciting charter yachts, met captains, crews and chefs (also beautiful and exciting), and took clients on board by appointment.
