Ride a Banana and Other Toys

YACHT CHARTER ACTIVITIES

The deckhand approaches the charter of guests.  He says, “would anyone care to ride the banana?

 

BANANA

Surprisingly, not an eyebrow was raised nor a snicker made by any of the guests at the funny name.  These were repeat charterers, and they knew.  A”banana”  is one of the reasons that they chose to charter this Feadship yacht.

 

NEWEST WATERTOYS

A banana is one of many popular watertoys available on most Caribbean yacht charter vessels.  It is a towable toy that is a giant, yellow, floating cylindrical tube, with room for 3 or more fun-loving adventurists.

Charter skippers add more new toys to their onboard inventory every season.  Yachts used to only carry a couple of fishing poles, snorkel gear, and a windsurfer.  Now, you find waverunners, underwater scooters, and multiple towable toys onboard the typical vessel for hire.

 

COMPANY PRESIDENT COMMENTS

Jana Sheeder, President of 1-800 Yacht Charters, maven of an international private yacht charter agency, comments.

When it comes to toys on today’s charter vessels, the rule of thumb is simple – go extreme,” says Sheeder.  “We now see yachts carrying high performance waverunners, segway scooters for playing ashore, and even small submarines for exploring reefs.

TYPICAL TOYS

The onboard toy inventory of Oceanco motor yacht SEVEN SEAS reads like a Hammacher Schlemmer catalog.  The yacht carries multiple watertoys.  Just a few, for instance, are 3 tenders, 4 waverunners, windsurfers, paddleboards, kiteboard, kneeboard, wakeboard, snorkel gear, and multiple Aqua Slides.

 

BLADEFISH, ANYONE?

The 81 meter Feadship motor yacht AIR  keeps pace with yacht SEVEN SEAS by including among her toys: 2 Laser sailing dinghies, 4 Kayaks, SCUBA gear (certified divers only), and 4 BladeFish underwater scooters.

Sheeder is grateful her yacht owners continue their pursuit of bigger, faster, more unique toys.

“In the end, it’s the charter customers who benefit from the childlike enthusiasm of yacht owners willing to spend whatever it takes to have the newest toys and techno-gadgets onboard their luxury yachts.
