by King Yacht Charters and Cruising World magazine
Have you ever dreamed of chartering
in Italy or Tonga but cannot get enough sailing friends together to make your
dream a reality? Then perhaps an "Adventure Charter" is just for you.
Cruising World
magazine and KYC organizes small flotillas of top
quality charter yachts in interesting locations around the world. The
trips include hotels, provisioning, special events, and often air from the USA.
We always have a "lead boat" with a skipper/guide for specific local knowledge
about the sailing area. A daily chart briefing prepares you for the day's sail,
noting any "nasties" underwater along the route, and highlighting special lunch
stops or sights to visit.
You will meet other like-minded
adventurous sailors. Don't worry if you are unable to fill a boat
yourself; we will match you with other couples. Singles are always
welcome, too.
These trips are a lot of fun!
Between 30 - 50% of participants have sailed with us before, and can attest to
a Cruising World or KYC "Adventure Charter" as a great vacation.
