 | | In these pre post-recession times, you may want to lower the cost of your charter, yet maintain the level of comfort and style you are | | | used to. Our philosophy is that a sailing vacation should never be avoided, and that sailing is the best part of it!
|
| | That is why we offer captained charters as a “bed and breakfast” on the water, where guests take an active role in making it a | | | memorable vacation. They get involved in everyday tasks such as provisioning, cooking and cleaning for them and the captain.
|
| | A captained charter is the perfect alternative to bareboat or fully crewed yachts. Unless a skipper that you add to a bareboat and who | | | may have stepped on the boat the day before your arrival, your captain on Oteka knows every secret corner of the yacht and the
islands.
|
| | All toys and amenities are included, so you experience the luxury and facilities of a crewed yacht without the expense of gourmet | | | cuisine and constraints of someone else's organization.
|
| | Just like in your own home, the freedom of organization is yours : you choose your food, your schedule, where and when to take your | | | meals. You change your mind and decide to dine ashore on last minute if you want to.
|
| | Captained charters have freedom and savings on schedule, without missing impeccable service and a friendly hospitality. And you | | | leave hard-work and responsibility to the captain.
|
| | Should you prefer to minimize pre-sailing organization, we can arrange your provisioning according to a pre-established list provided | | | by yourself. In the BVI, you can also arrange your provisioning online, thanks to the local suppliers (ie Rite Way).
|
| | The Captain will sit down with you and organize the idyllic itinerary according to your preferences, the weather and the state of the | | | ocean herself.
|
| | Be reassured that you will be sailing in complete security with a highly experienced captain.
|
| | He knows the area like the back of his hand, the winds, the currents, the best swimming spots and the most interesting addresses; | | | he will be your guide.
|
| | If you fancy taking the helm, or are perhaps sailing for the first time, take advantage of learning from your own private tutor, all the | | | while maintaining the relaxed atmosphere a vacation on the ocean imposes.
|
| | Sail freely, chose your rhythm, your itinerary, your meals and your activities: intense sailing, navigation school, ocean or land based | | | meals, living the night scene or sunbath with a book all day, whatever you say goes, it’s your choice!
|
| | Please bear in mind that your Captain is “on deck” 24 hours a day to ensure your safety and pleasure on board. A tip around 15% of | | | the cost of your charter is customary for excellent service.
