One of the questions we get asked a lot is how to choose the right boat for your next holiday and what is the main difference between catamaran charter, motor yacht charter or sailing yacht charter.

We often get asked, "how much does it cost to charter a yacht?". You might be surprised to learn that the cost to charter a yacht can actually be very similar to the cost of a hotel stay. In this blog post we compare the cost of a one week holiday in a spacious hotel suite, with a yacht rental in the Aeolian Islands, for a family of four based on two adults and two kids; 7 nights in May.

Let me take you on a journey. A time and space journey. One of the first colorful TV advertisement I watched and was impressed by it so much that I still remember the vision it made in my little kid’s head was… Bounty. Yes, coconut-chocolate bar. In fact I find it’s too sweet, but the image of the paradise it has created was  just stunning. I could watch it for a million times and I still loved it. Note that it was the time when there were just a few TV channels and capitalism was just entering post-communist countries. Travelling around the world and visiting oriental islands were not even in the scope of the dream for majority of people.

Stepping out of the dark Over the past few decades’ advances in technology have been astounding. It seems everything’s turning “smart”, your watch now talks to you, your phone pays your bills and your car can park itself. We’ve swapped road maps for Satnavs, books for e-readers and even credit cards for digital wallets. The whole world is going digital and yet when it comes to marine navigation it feels as though sailors are somewhat left out of the race.   Thankfully there’s a young startup working to challenge the norm and change all of this. Founded by former Google Staff Engineer and avid sailor Jelte Liebrand, savvy navvy was created with a single goal, to build the best sailing navigation solution worldwide.

A blog post by Emilia Biala. Everyone has their story to tell. Story to share. Story that becomes part of you and guides you further. In the time when there was no GPS, sailors had to know how to read the stars to guide them.  Maybe now it is hard to believe so,  but that it was the reality. Real sailors still know how to do it and I highly admire these skills. We also say that there are times in life when the stars just simply align – it happens when things are going well and we simply feel lucky.  I believe in my  positive stars alignment when it is  about meeting people, especially those who are related to water. I think I could write a book about every single person I met while learning or teaching freediving. When it developed into sailing it was pretty much the same. Maybe is that the common thing of the ”water people”?  I am sure you have ever had that feeling when you encounter someone for the first time and after 5 minutes of conversation you have an impression as if you knew that person for years.  So let me tell you one of these stories of an extraordinary person I met on the boat.
