Are you ready to escape with the family on a luxury sailing charter?
Easter is fast approaching but if you act fast, you can still plan a fun-filled family getaway.
We’ve rounded up some affordable last-minute Virgin Islands yacht charter vacations for you and your clan. Rates start at just $161 per night, and include special custom menus, watersports and more!
CREWED CATAMARAN CHARTERS
Crewed catamaran charters offer the hottest vacation options in the islands. Kids love the built-in trampolines and water toys, while parents like the stable ride and roomy comfort of these ultra-wide yachts. Unlike traditional sailboats that “heel” to the side when under sail, cats stay level and flat when underway.

The crew’s favorite area in Greece to explore by yacht is the Ionian archipelago. Reachable through international flights to Preveza, good weather and sea conditions are a constant in the summer. There always seems to be a breeze for sailing, and there are plenty of secluded bays in which to anchor and swim in clear, green waters. Small villages with traditional tavernas dot the coastline.
Andrea and Valentina, the Italian crew on NEMO, recommend an Ionian cruise for novices and seasoned sailors, alike. Says, Andrea, “(the Ionian appeals to) Every kind of guests – for those who are at their first experience on a boat, for those who loves the sea all day long, for those who like to print in their memories windmills, sunsets, colorful villages and unspoiled anchorages, for those who like to discover new dishes and new drinks, for those who like shopping.”

Accommodations onboard the Nautitech 47 catamaran NEMO
Skipper (captain)
Hostess/Cook
All meals and beverages (ship’s bar)
Towels
