Yacht Charters : A Corporate Affair !

CEO of your company !?...but you surely have not reached the pinnacle if you have not been on a yacht.


Thinking of a Corporate Team-building activity ??!..Why not take a team of colleagues onto sailboats in the harbour...teach them a few simple moves that they need to coordinate with each other...and see who reaches the other side of the harbour first - a sureshot way of knowing who picks up new things faster, and that too as a team.

Ladies & Gentlemen of the Corporate World...whether you are a CEO or a Customer Representative...welcome yourself to the next level of leisure, lifestyle and luxury in INDIA, and globally too.

Yacht Charters and Events are the most exclusive and thrilling experience one could savour...you can have private boardroom meetings on a mega-yacht or have sail your way to glory...all possible now in your nearest harbour in India or abroad.


WHY CHARTER?

Exclusive experiences on the waters broaden one's horizon...

The interiors of a mega-yacht are the most private and safest of their kind designed by the best designers in the world. Whether it is a meeting where you decide the fate of your meeting, or an evening where you want to take the whole 'C-bunch' viz. CEOs, CFOs, CXOs etc. on a multi-cuisine meal in the harbour - it is a priceless experience - all at a price affordable by any corporate standards.


Lately, some companies specialise in corporate training on the waters where they are able to generate qualities such as communication, inspiration, motivation, team-building, team-training, styles of leadership (...and the list goes on).

Training takes place on sailing yachts, where the participants work and live together. All duties concerning the sailing of the ship are carried out by everyone.
Sailing and training lessons alternate, and each trainee is constantly required to bring in his whole personality.

Flotillas - Summer Camp On The Seas...

A flotilla (from Spanish, meaning a flota of small ships, and this from French flotte), or naval flotilla, is a formation of small warships that may be part of a larger fleet. A flotilla is usually composed of a homogeneous group of the same class of warship, such as destroyers, torpedo boats, submarines, gunboats or minesweepers. Larger warships are grouped in squadrons.


A flotilla is usually commanded by a Rear Admiral, a Commodore or a Captain, depending on the importance of the command. In modern navies, flotillas have tended to become administrative units. As warships have grown larger, the term squadron has gradually replaced the term flotilla for formations of destroyers, frigates and submarines in many navies.

Flotillas have through the years developed a brand new fun filled meaning absolutely peaceful and nothing to do with warfare!


One popular way of cruising on a holiday is in a flotilla - which is a group of boats sailing together under the supervision of a lead boat operated by the charter company. Flotillas are arranged so that singles, couples and small groups who don’t know each other can join together and form a flotilla of about 6 boats. The staff assists in itinerary planning and helping the participants learn the local conditions, translate, find the best restaurants - in other words - they help you make the most of the experience.

It is a great way to make new friends, kind of the grown-up version of summer camp. These are not small boats. These are nice boats between 30-60 feet. Although you will have a skipper experienced with sailing in the waters, at least one person on each boat is required to have an internationally recognized sailing certificate. There are also special interest flotillas for example archaeology, or culinary and even flotillas for naturalists. (In other words you sail around naked!)

You can sail from your overnight anchorage following the other yachts to your destination, having a fun race along the way, stopping along the way for lunch and a swim.

You may choose to just amble along at your own pace, or sail off on your own exploring the many villages and towns or stop at a bay to have a swim before you arrive at your overnight destination.

If you would like to overnight at a different port, you can. This is your holiday, and you choose to combine any of the above options to suit.

One, two, or more weeks sailing holidays are available - the choice is yours.

Beautiful Sailing / Water-Sports Destinations : Yachting In The Stockholm Archipelago - A Midsummer Night's Dream !

The Baltic might not be the first place that comes to mind when considering a luxury yacht charter vacation, but during the short Scandinavian summer, it's a magical place with warm breezes and almost 24 hours of daylight. Even as far south as Stockholm, summer nights never get completely dark, the sky just takes on a deep blue tint for a few hours before the sun comes back up again.



The best time to visit is June to September, and like everywhere else in Europe, July and August are the most crowded. For a totally Swedish experience, visit during Midsummer (usually around June 20), the longest day of the year and one of the most celebrated holidays in Sweden. To avoid the crowds, visit in September (or even at the end of August) when the warmth of the summer still lingers and you will have more space to yourself.

Begin your trip by spending a few days exploring Stockholm, the beautiful capital of Sweden, before heading out on your yacht. The Stockholm Archipelago is about 150 miles long by 50 miles wide and contains around 30,000 islands and islets, some verdant with luxury hotels, shops and restaurants, others just a bare rock. You don't have to go far to get to Fjaderholmarna (the Feather Islands). These 4 islands lie 25 minutes from Stockholm, and you might be tempted to keep cruising since you only just started, but they are well worth a stop. Fjaderholmarna is home to several restaurants, cafes, a seafood smokehouse (with a restaurant and take-out shop), shops, local artisans, an outdoor theatre, and Mackmyra whiskey distillery, where you can tour the facilities and try their products.

Vaxholm, about an hour by boat from Stockholm, was founded in 1647 and has been an archipelago hub since the late 1800s when it was discovered by wealthy Stockholmers who built vacation homes on the island and started spending their summers here. Today, Vaxholm has about 10,000 year-round inhabitants and many visitors, especially during the summer. The harbor is right in the center of this very walkable town, so you can easily stroll around and take in the sights. There are several shops, restaurants, cafes, a few grocery stores, a liquor store and a pharmacy. Notable sights include Bogesund Castle (built in the 1640s) and the Vaxholm Citadel (built 1833-1863) which is no longer used for military purposes but instead houses a museum, shop, bistro and B&B.

Grinda lies about 2 hours from Stockholm and its several sandy beaches and rocky outcrops make it a popular swimming destination for Stockholmers. The island is small, only a 15-minute walk across, and has a pub, grocery store, and a well-known hotel and restaurant, Grinda Wardshus, housed in an Art Noveau building from 1908. There are kayaks available for rent from the hotel, and they can also arrange activities such as rock climbing or archery.

Sandhamn (Sand Harbor) on the island Sandon (Sand Island) is the "yachting capital" of Stockholm's archipelago. The Royal Swedish Yacht Club (KSSS) built their club house here in 1897 (still in use) and their many annual races attract sailors from around the world. The most well known is perhaps the 2-day race "Gotland Runt" (Round Gotland). This particular event is also famous for the many parties taking place in Sandhamn both before and after the race. The town has many restaurants, bars and shops, as well as a few hotels and museums. There are also several sandy beaches on the island, and the largest, Trouville, is only a 20-minute walk from downtown.

With more than 60 guest harbors in Stockholm's archipelago, there are many more places to visit and sights to see, but these are a few places to get you started in your planning.

Raymarine Life Tag Wireless MOB System!

Its always fun to go cruising down the river or cutting through the waves of the ocean with your family or friends on a nice Sunday evening. But there is always concern for safety for your little ones.


There was a time when you had to keep a watch on your kids all the time while you are out cruising. But when you are on a 150+ luxury mega yacht its very difficult to keep an eye on them. thats when Raymarine Life Tag Wireless MOB ( man over board) System comes in good use. Its a small light device which can be attached to child’s life jacket, or stuffed into a child’s pocket..


The Life Tag operates on the same wavelength as a master unit that is mounted in the center of the boat, so if the life tag or the life tag attached on the child gets drifted more than 30 feet from the center of the boat a loud beep alarm will be activated.

So if your yacht is docked at marina you will never fear your child wondering away from the boat or by any chance if your child falls off the boat while cruising the alarm will go on and the captain will immediately stop the boat and retrieve him/ her.


Its a great feature considering its rate. Costing just above 600$ for this unit, it is less than most larger, crewed charter yachts spend on champagne for the week. No doubt this product is going to do great in the market and i see it being used a lot on the chartered yachts that welcome family with young children. This product is simply amazing for its prise and size and is a must buy for all yacht owners! Read more...
