It's interesting to learn that due to the economy, most industry leaders agree that the charter trends in hiring a private yacht & crew for a sailing vacation are leaning toward monohull yachts.
Upcoming Weeks in 2012 Available:
• Feb. 19 - Mar. 31

Lots to Be Thankful For...Like This Comment from a Yacht Charter Broker:
"I have always ‘pushed’ monohulls (I’m a traditionalist!), and love educating my clients to the fact that a catamaran is simply a floating hotel with very little sensation of being on the water. They’re noisy, and yes, Virginia, you CAN get seasick on a catamaran. Do you want to slice through the waves, or hobby horse to windward...pound & pound...turning on the engines just to tack through the wind? Okay, that's a bit tough; but I do say that while a sailboat heals, the degree of healing can be modified with shortened sail and falling off the wind a bit. I also tell clients that their crew are there for your comfort, not to race with the rail under. The heavy keel keeps you from tipping over AND..."
"Have you ever seen a famous painting of a catamaran? There’s no romance! No beauty. No charm."
(Wow, I'll bet you never expected all that, did you? Neither did we!)
Fifteen years ago this month, we purchased s/v Three Moons in Ft. Lauderdale, not quite knowing what we had gotten ourselves into! We have been blessed with amazing support along with years of happy repeat clients.
To those of you who've experienced the "romance of sailing" with Three Moons, we heartily say Thank you! If you haven't sailed with us, then join our adventures via Facebook or Twitter.
Cheers to All and Happy Thanksgiving!
