The Biscayne National Park: Fun for the Whole Family

Posted on March 24, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

The Biscayne National Park is a fun and educational place for kids. They would love to go snorkeling in the bay or along the coral reef and would enjoy canoeing along the mangrove coast. Be sure to visit the Dante Fascell Visitor Center, which offers a multitude of information and exhibits to help children understand the plants and animal life of Biscayne Bay. A park ranger can answer any questions and the touch table offers invaluable lessons.

The park regularly offers special events for families, including a Family Fun Fest monthly from January through May. Clean-ups are held as a way to benefit the park and teach about the environment. The last Sunday in August the park hosts a celebration for its birthday.

If you’re in South Florida and want to do something fun with the kids, consider a Miami day charter to the Biscayne National Park, just 15 nautical miles away.

The Blue Hole in the Bahamas

Posted on March 19, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

If you want to see something really unique, take a yacht charter to the Blue Hole, a natural oddity in Hoffman Cay. This round, salt-water hole sits atop a rock island and reaches 600-feet through the island to the ocean below.

 

It is believed that the Blue Hole may have been formed by a meteorite falling from the sky. The water lies 25’ below an overhanging rock, from which those brave enough can jump to the crystal clear water. Some people come here to float in the water, which is believed to be therapeutic to the body and soul.

 

The Blue Hole is only a 30-minute boat ride from Great Harbour Cay in the Bahamas and an easy trip from South Florida.

The Florida Keys are a yacht charter paradise. Where else can you skip between islands with such a wide range of personalities? One island offers a natural escape from the pressures of the world. Another lights up the night with parties from dusk to dawn. You’ll find everything in between dotted along the curving arc of the over 800 keys.

 

-         Key Largo is the northernmost island and, because of its proximity to North America’s only living coral barrier reef, it’s known as the Diving Capital of the World. Sports fishing is popular here, where you can find bonefish, redfish, or tarpon.

-          The Islamorada backcountry is also a popular offshore fishing destination. It also has numerous boutiques and galleries, making it a favorite shopping stop.

-         Marathon is a family-friendly destination, with numerous marine and eco-attractions.

-          Big Pine Key and the Lower Keys tout unspoiled, secluded areas worth exploring. Watching the sunset from the Saddlebunch Keys is breathtaking.

-         Key West is well-known as a party island. With its share of jugglers, mimes, musicians, and street artists, there is never a lack of entertainment. This key is more awake after the sun goes down.

 

A South Florida yacht charter is the perfect way to explore these beautiful, unique islands.

The Beauty and Personality of Jost Van Dyke

Foxy's Bar

Foxy's Bar

Jost Van Dyke may be the smallest of the British Virgin Islands, but it is not lacking in personality. The island is home to Foxy’s Bar, where the annual “Old Year’s Night” party is held. Located in the Great Harbour, Foxy’s is known for its famous rum, which is used in the house drinks, Sly Fox and Dread Fox. The Soggy Dollar, with its popular Painkiller cocktail, is a favorite sailing destination on the island. The place got its name because boaters typically drop anchor and swim to shore, paying for their order with their wet dollars.

Jost Van Dyke remains a natural beauty. There are no large commercial buildings, and only the local hangouts. People travel to the island by yacht and stroll on foot to various locations inland. In fact, the island didn’t have electricity until 1989 and it took until 1997 – a mere fifteen years ago – before the entire island had power. The use of beach torches and candlelight only added to the romance of the island prior to that point.

Be sure to visit the top of Roach Hill, the highest point on the island, where you will have an amazing view of the entire island.

Wreck of the Rhone: Scuba Diving in the BVI

Posted on March 4, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment
Rhone dive site

Wreck of the Rhone

The RMS Rhone has been voted the #1 wreck in the Caribbean, and for good reason.

The RMS Rhone was built in 1865 in England. It was one of the first ever iron-hulled ships and was pronounced “unsinkable” by the British Royal Navy. It measured 310 feet long with two masts and was powered by both sail and steam.

On October 29, 1867, the back end of the category 3 San Narciso Hurricane slammed the Rhone into Black Rock Point of Salt Island in the BVI.

The shipwreck site was turned national park and is now one of the best scuba diving locations in the Caribbean. The bow is still fairly intact and you’ll see plenty of fishes, lobsters, eels, octopi, and turtles. The deepest part of the dive is 85 feet. You can visit the Rhone every year and always find something new on your dive.

What to Bring on Your Yacht Charter

Posted on February 23, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

Bahamas yacht charterHeading on vacation can be a lot of fun, but sometimes preparing for the trip can be stressful, especially if you’re not sure what to bring. Here is a helpful list to ensure that you don’t forget something important for your Bahamas yacht charter.

  • Keep your luggage to a minimum. Storage space is limited, and you’ll probably spend most of your time in a bathing suit anyway.
  • Bring several bathing suits, casual clothing that is resort appropriate, and even casual dress attire for dinner ashore. You may also wish to bring a light jacket or sweater for air-conditioned locations.
  • Your shoes will depend on your itinerary. If you’re going hiking, bring hiking boots.
  • Pack protection from the sun, including sun screen, hats, and sunglasses.
  • Don’t forget any medications that you are taking. Pack seasickness medicine if you think you might need it. Bring an extra pair of prescription glasses, just in case.
  • Bring your camera. You’ll want to take lots of pictures of the beautiful Bahamas scenery.
  • You can bring your cell phone; however phone service at sea can be spotty.
  • Carry passports for each guest on board.
  • If you are plan on going scuba diving, be sure to bring your diving credentials.
