Discounts Help Overcome Surging Euro

Posted on

Discounts. Words, I Like Discounts, in purplish blue, with a thumbs up symbol at the end.HOW TO FIND THE BEST YACHT CHARTER PRICE

Finding the best prices for crewed catamaran charters and super yacht charters has never been easier.  Travelers looking for exceptional value at sea can turn to a new webpage offered by 1-800 Yacht Charters.

 

WHO IS 1-800 YACHT CHARTERS

1-800 Yacht Charters, known for offering the newest and largest yachts in the world’s best destinations, has created a web page featuring seasonal last minute specials, free days onboard, and exclusive deep discounts. Specials are available for select catamarans, sailboats, and motor yachts…RIGHT NOW!

 

COMPANY PRESIDENT COMMENTS

The company’s President, Jana Sheeder, feels the time is right to go beyond “selling”  charter vacations. 

The dynamics of our global economy are evolving,” says Sheeder.  “We continue to see the weakening of the value of the dollar against the euro. This means travel to Europe continues to become more expensive for Americans.

Jana Sheeder sitting on the aft couch of a yacht in a marina

Sheeder continues,

Many of our yachts transact in Euros.  By focusing on value, we can offer savvy travelers an opportunity to mitigate the effects of a surging euro.  Offering deep discounts and free, extra days onboard helps offset the gap between our US currency and that of the European Union.

 

WEBPAGE FEATURES

The new web page displays a dozen or so yachts, both in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, offering significant savings for rentals;  for example, at 311 feet 8 inches (95 meters) in length, motor yacht INDIAN EMPRESS is one of the largest yachts in the world. Her weekly rental rate is €600,000.  Sheeder is offering a rate reduction of €200,000 per week for summer 2011 bookings. 

Saving almost 25% helps offset the nearly 35% currency premium between the dollar and the euro,” states Sheeder.

 

YACHT CHARTER DISCOUNTS

The discounts also apply to more affordable yachts as well.  The 60′ catamaran NIRVANA is currently based in the Caribbean and can accommodate a group of 8 to 10 family and friends.  Her regular rate is €13,300 per week, but for remaining available dates in February and March, the rental rate is slashed by 15%.

 

BOOKMARK THE SITE

The specials are updated frequently, so visitors to the company’s website are encouraged to BOOKMARK THE www.1800yachtcharters.com SITE and check back often for more great offers!

 

WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK!

Is It “So Long” to 85m Motor Yacht Solandge?

Posted on

SHE SOLD — NOW WHAT?

Word recently came in that one of the largest private luxury yacht charter vessels in the market was just sold.

The 85 meter (279 foot) spectacular Lurssen motor yacht SOLANDGE has been sold.  The deal closed on March 22, and the new owner has already taken delivery.  The buyer was represented by Moran Yacht and Ship, and terms of the sale have not been released.  She was listed for sale by Moran at an asking price of €155,000,000 (yes, boys and girls, that IS 6 zeros!)

profile of motoryacht solandge

 

SCHEDULED TO SHOW

The massive yacht was scheduled to participate in the Palm Beach International Boat Show, March 23 -26, 2017.   Needless to say, the new owner saw no need to put the yacht on display, instead choosing to enjoy his new watertoy.

Launched in 2013, Solandge Lurssen motor yacht features the sleek exterior styling of naval architect Espen Øino, with a rich, rather eclectic interior design by Aileen Rodriguez.

 

COMPANY PRESIDENT COMMENTS

“She is an amazing luxury yacht charter vessel,” says Jana Sheeder, President of 1-800 Yacht Charters.  “Imagine a floating resort with a gym, spa, saunas, and cinema.  There’s even a DJ booth on the party deck, and a 5.5 meter swimming pool on the aft.  Best of all, this floating spa is private – only you and your family and friends are onboard!”

 

 

WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR HER FUTURE?

Yachtsmen and -women the world over want to know — will we be waving goodbye to Lurssen yacht Solandge…or will she remain in the charter fleet???  Is it Adios –  or just Hasta luego?  Do we say Tchau – or just Ate mais, beijo?   Is it Ciao — or Addio?

Often, a new owner will remove the yacht from the private yacht charter marketplace, so he and his family and friends can enjoy her for extended cruising.

 

SHEEDER KNOWS THE CURRENT ANSWER

“For now, she remains listed for hire, but that could change,” says Sheeder.   “Of course, for the benefit of our clients, we certainly hope she remains in the marketplace.  Only a handful of the world’s largest yachts are available for hire, and motoryacht Solandge stands at or near the top of that elite list.”

 

ALL ABOUT SOLANDGE

Solandge accommodates 12 guests in a 7 elegant stateroom configuration.  Her weekly rate is €1,000,000 plus running expenses.   Her current schedule has her available for hire in the Caribbean through Spring, then in the Mediterranean for the summer.

Luxury Yacht Charter Maven Reflects on Industry in 2013

Posted on

THE YACHT CHARTER MAVEN COMMENTS

Many of her clients are still onboard their yachts enjoying their 2013 year-end St Barts yacht charter vacations.  Jana Sheeder, President and Co-owner of SailAway Yacht Charters and 1-800 Yacht Charters comments. She takes a few minutes to reflect on the year that was (and offers us a glimpse of what’s to come in 2014.

Jana Sheeder, President of 1-800 Yacht Charters standing with yacht Vertige female crewmember on dock in front of boat. Jana wearing halter long dress and gold name badge, and crewmember wearing short black skirt and white short-sleeved shirt.

Q:  The charter industry still seems to be recovering from the global economic downturn of the past couple years.  Did 2013 represent an uptick in the volume of charter business?

Sheeder:  “Our research indicates 2013 showed significant improvement in charter revenues when compared to both 2011 and 2012.  Many newly-built yachts enter the  charter marketplace in 2013.  These are builds that had stalled while under construction during the height of the downturn.  As the global economy began to pick up, delayed construction projects commenced.

The result is a beautiful new fleet of superyacht charter vessels that hit the seas in time for the 2013 summer Mediterranean charter season.”

 

Q:  Did the year end on an uptick?

Sheeder:  “We haven’t seen any industry data yet, so we can’t speak for our competitors.  We can tell you in terms of the Caribbean yacht charter marketplace,  SailAway (1-800 Yacht Charters) had its strongest December in over 3 years. While the inquiries for smaller vessels did not grow, our bookings of superyachts – some of the largest yachts in the world –  increased significantly.

Presently, we have the two largest charter vessels currently docked in St Barts for 9 night charters – motor yacht LAUREL (240 feet, $525,000 per week) and the Lurssen yacht charter motoryacht MARTHA ANN (230 feet, 600,000 EUROS per week).”

 

ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS

Q:  What was the biggest change you witnessed in 2013 in the charter industry?

Sheeder:  “I would have to say the ending of VAT exempt charters in France. For many years, our clients enjoyed St. Tropez yacht charters and summer vacations along the Cote d’Azur, free of the burden of VAT.  That all changed in the summer of 2013 when the French yacht charter VAT went into effect.   As of July 15, 2013, charterers can expect to pay an additional 9.8% for their Côte d’Azur yacht charter.”

Q:  Are you optimistic as you look ahead to 2014?

Sheeder:  “Our team is extremely optimistic as we focus on incremental growth in 2014. During the economic downturn, while many of our competitors hunkered down to ride out the storm, we took a contrarian approach.  We focused our efforts on increased marketing. Our strategy was simple – stay in touch with existing clients and prospects. We wanted to be “easy to find” once the economy turned around.

Internally, we call it our “Tip of the Tongue” project.  Clients had tightened their belts during the downturn, and we were committed to be the brand they remembered (always on the tip of the tongue) when they were ready to loosen their discretionary income belts again!

 

FINAL THOUGHTS

Now that 2014 is here, we are excited to announce that, for instance

  • Our newly-designed website is nearing completion
  • We are launching a new subsidiary to provide luxury yacht tenders to megayacht owners
  • Our additional satellite offices are opening 
  • We are focused on charitable causes — helping others, helping marine life, and helping the environment — Paying it Forward and Making a Difference for all that’s been given to us! 

The sky’s the limit!  It will be an exciting, challenging, and awe-inspiring year!”

ANDREAS L SUPERYACHT

The yacht performed an extensive Caribbean yacht charter cruise. Then superyacht ANDREAS L pulled into Barcelona for a little “cosmetic surgery.” 
 
She is amazing, for example, she is one of the largest yachts for hire in the world.  Andreas checked into a Spanish shipyard for something similar to Restylane® beauty treatments.  Her touch-up cost a half-million Euros.  The star of the luxury yacht charter fleet is now ready for the summer charter season.  New anti-fouling paint has her looking sharp. It also makes her slide smoothly and efficiently through the Aegean.

CREW

Captain Mauro (formerly the master onboard the 90 meter motor yacht, Lauren L) is at the helm this season. He brings his extensive local knowledge and experience of the Med to charter.  A new Italian chef and a new chief stewardess have been added to the crew.  They are filled with energy and ready to welcome charter guests. 

 

OLD NAME 

The yacht was formerly named AMNESIA. 

 

ACCOMMODATIONS AND FEATURES

The 196 foot Benetti motoryacht ANDREAS L accommodates 12.  There are six elegant staterooms within sight.  The yacht features top audio-visual entertainment and communications systems.  

 

SPECIAL TREATMENT

Lucky charter guests are pampered in the massage room and hair salon.  Joanne, a full-time masseuse/therapist/stylist, takes great care of guests.

 

 

 

GYMNASIUM

A well-equipped gymnasium awaits heath buffs.  This special gymnasium has a unique ocean vantage point.  Afterwards, sore muscles can then be soothed in the large Jacuzzi tub on the sun deck.

WATERSPORTS

The yacht’s watersports inventory includes a SeaDoo Bombardier jet boat, four Polaris waverunners, scuba gear, and towable toys.  Towables include Tubesters, Thrashers, and Bananas.  Other items, for instance, flyfishing equipment, windsurfers, and waterboards, are included. 
 

ONE MORE ITEM

Oh…we almost forgot.  In addition to great watertoys — who could miss the helipad!  The perfect easy access, away from watchful eye of the paparazzi!
