Sailing Croatia 7 Years Later

Croatia was not mad that I hadn’t visited in 7 years. In fact, she looked fantastic and welcomed me with open arms. This newly-appreciated vacation mecca has grown in so many impressive ways that I leaped for joy when I saw her this May. Rediscovering Split and the surrounding islands was a grand adventure and a grand surprise!

Summer Getaways for short term adventure. Board in Boston, Marblehead or Salem

Getaway Yacht – Boston, Marblehead and Beyond

The Classic 49′ Motor Yacht CAROUSEL is the perfect getaway yacht from Boston to Marblehead (or vice versa) for a romantic overnight for two.  Her pretty sheer line turns heads.  With a dark blue hull and enough teak to uphold traditions, this is a modern classic with well-proven construction and 21st century comfort.

First Time’s a Charm: Notes from a First Yacht Charter Adventure

When Michael and I got down to the really planning his vacation, I knew it was (understandably) hard for him to wrap his head around the whole thing that is a yacht charter.  It is a big expense and many charterers save a long time to take such a trip, so I did not take this task lightly.  I knew if a friend had the faith in me to move forward and book a boat for him and his family, that I better make sure they’re on the right one, going to the right destination with the right crew.

Remote respite on an island oasis in Belize

Vitamin Sea: Sailing in Belize for Wellness and Yoga

In the heart of “the other Caribbean” in Belize…you will find wellness and retreat at sea.
This past January, I had the opportunity to sail out of Belize City on the 46ft Fountaine Pajot catamaran TRANQUILO. This beautiful and aptly-named yacht was our wellness and yoga retreat in Belize. While I may not have perfected my yoga headstand on this fam trip, I can confirm that it’s better to practice yoga on the forward deck of your private yacht than on a paddleboard! Not only did I rediscover the best sailing within this “2nd greatest barrier reef system”, I met the finely-tuned team of yacht crew, dock staff, office and Belize in-house concierge service.
