WHAT DID YOU DO ON YOUR SUMMER VACATION?


We asked several of our favorite charter yachts this question and here are their replies, so far:


STILL LOOKING FOR A CHRISTMAS VACATION?

Look here.

There are still quite a few megayachts available as well. These will book up quickly so please, if you want to hang out in St. Barths on one of these big guys, contact Paradise Connections as soon as possible.


DISCOUNTS & SPECIAL OFFERS

PROMENADE, the 65-foot trimaran, wants to fill in her remaining weeks for the 2007-8 season so she is offering special rates for new bookings, including discounts for kids! More details HERE.

ISLAND SKIPPER AVAILABILITY

Warning: This is Rob & Michele's LAST charter season with ISLAND SKIPPER, a 52-foot Iwin ketch that offers diving. They are still available for a New Year's charter. Here is their current availability as of October 18, 2007:

  • Open: December 30, 2007 - January 26, 2008

That's it! Just a couple of open weeks left. Island Skipper (BROCHURE) is one of our most popular charter yachts and we will really miss them.


PROMENADE's CABIN CRUISE: still openings

There are three cabins available for PROMENADE's 6-Night Cabin Cruise, March 30 through April 5, 2008. The price per cabin, double occupancy is $3,900 (i.e. only $1800 each). Promenade is a fun boat that offers a wide range of activities, plus they have two dive instructors! This is a great way for a couple to charter such a large boat.

Here's MORE INFO for the cabin charter. And, you may find THIS interesting, too.

CONTACT PARADISE CONNECTIONS FOR MORE!

Some of you may wonder why we do not put our email address directly on our posts. Well, there are a couple of reasons:

  • SPAM. We get about 300 spam emails per day. We do not use a spam filter because we do not want to miss any of your important emails. For example, what if we have a client asking about the Rolex Sailing Races? There are so many spams with "rolex" in the subject line that we are sure these would be filtered out.
  • CURRENT INFORMATION. By directing you to our http:www.paradiseconnections.com/contact.html page, we are able to give you are current contact information. We work off of our sailboat and if we need to change our email address or other contact info, you are assured to find it there. Also, this way we only have to modify a couple of files, rather than update a hundred or more pages and all of these posts :)

So, contact Paradise Connections HERE, to book your next yacht or barge charter.

All the best,
Sheila & Bob
