Sometimes, the most amazing things just “fall into your lap”. Last week we were asked by the U.S. Virgin Islands Dept. of Tourism if we would be interested in hosting Sail Magazine for an article on "Five Things I Didn't Know About St. Thomas".
Three Moons will be included in the July charter column of Sail Magazine. Our special guest, Associate Editor Meredith Laitos is writing an article featuring St. Thomas. Photographer Elinor Mason was also onboard Three Moons taking photos for the story. Once available, you’ll be able to access an online version of the story with more photos at sailmagazine.com.
Our writers from Sail Magazine want to promote how easy it is, not to mention less expensive, to fly into St. Thomas and be on a yacht within a blink of an eye. They also came aboard with the idea of leading prospective charter clients back toward booking monohulls, or at the very least, making sure that renting a monohull, either Captained or bareboat is included in the choices made by their subscribers. They were excited to promote the romance of sailing on a traditional monohull as though it’s a new marketing idea!
Recently, seven well-respected yacht charter brokers joined us aboard Three Moons. They commented repeatedly about how much they enjoyed the stable, weighty feeling of a large monohull cutting through the water and the beamy room of the main salon.
Over the past season, we’ve heard & read more about the popularity of monohulls increasing. Why? As one of our long-time brokers commented, “The savvy client knows that they can book a larger monohull for less money per foot as compared to a catamaran”. Across the board, we’ve found that our 72’ monohull is at least 30% less to charter than a 58’ catamaran for 8 days, 7 nights. And yes, thats even with this month’s rate increase!

8 guests - $339.00 each per person per day
