In the interest of informing all of my readers (not just my supremely affluent, well-heeled bunch), I thought I’d share today’s lucky find: Yachtstore, Ltd. - luxurious yacht vacations for all!

I also realize that my most elite demographic may have the means to own a yacht, but might not welcome the maintenance and responsibility.

Well, have no fear, because Yachtstore is here!

How it works, per their site…
Despite its reputation as an exclusive treat for the rich and famous, chartering a luxury crewed yacht offers a unique vacation experience, comparable in price to first-class ski, golf and beach resorts. In fact, yacht charters are available in most parts of the world for as little as $200 per person, per day.

Yachtstore makes arranging your first yacht charter easy. Combining decades of experience with access to every charter yacht and crew worldwide, we deliver the information and services necessary to walk you through the process and send you on the adventure of a lifetime.

In preparation for planning the perfect yacht charter getaway, there are a few things to consider:

* Is there a special destination you have in mind or a region you’re interested in exploring? Escape to the warm trade winds and azure seas of the Caribbean, or marvel over Alaska ’s unique wildlife and dramatic coastline.

* Do you have a specific type or size of yacht in mind? Our charter fleet spans the globe and includes luxury yachts from 70 to 200 feet, comfortably accommodating large or small groups, with room for the number of crew that will best meet your needs.

* What are your sporting and recreational requirements? Perhaps you’d like to have a small runabout onboard to explore the beaches and quays of the Abacos? If you’re interested in diving, we can arrange for a certified SCUBA instructor to be available on your charter yacht.

In addition to addressing your personal tastes and comforts, our charter specialists provide you the added assurance of matching your specific needs to the most appropriate, experienced crew available. This includes complete, competent vessel maintenance and navigation, food service tailored to your requirements, etc.

Once you have selected your charter yacht and destination and finalized the details of your trip, Yachtstore’s charter specialist will prepare a formal yacht charter agreement and deposit request in order to hold the charter yacht and crew for the dates you’ve chosen. We will thoroughly review region-specific details such as taxes, insurance and gratuities.

Before you know it, you’ll be enjoying your yacht charter vacation and ready to begin planning the next!

Hey, they don’t have to convince me any further. I am sold!
