GO GREEN AND SAVE MONEY

Presenting the creative crew of a popular Virgin Islands yacht charter vessel. They are greener and eco-friendly.  They also save their customers money.

 

CATAMARAN SILVER MOON

Many guests eat a meal or two ashore during a week-long yachting vacation.  Therefore,  sail catamaran SILVER MOON  announced a half board food option.

 

MEALS ON CATAMARAN

A typical all-inclusive charter features 3 meals a day.  The half board option exists. It includes all breakfasts. It also includes 3 lunches and 4 dinners with beverages, the standard ship’s bar, and snacks.  That said, all other meals are taken ashore at the guest’s expense.

 

JANA SHEEDER, COMPANY PRESIDENT, COMMENTS

Jana Sheeder, President of SailAway and 1-800 Yacht Charters, comments. She explains the benefits of a half board option:

“Part of the attraction of a yachting vacation is the chance to indulge in local customs and foods.  Sometimes, fresh food on the yachts goes to waste as the clients tend to eat ashore two or three times a week in the various ports of call.   The half board option cuts down on waste, preparation materials, and cleanup,” explains Sheeder.

 

RATES

Clients save money.  The overall cost of the boating vacation can be reduced.  It can then reflect the fewer meals and food served onboard.

 

PRICE BREAKDOWN

Here’s the price breakdown on S/Y SILVER MOON:

Passengers        Half-Board   All-Inclusive
2                        $  8,000       $  8,600
3                            8,560           9,200
4                            9,115           9,800
5                            9,775         10,500
6                           10,325        11,100

 

ACCOMMODATIONS AND CREW TOUCHES
