Isn't it great when you go on a vacation and have a close friend or family there who can show you around? If you like to take cruises or vacation in seaside areas, you really should look into chartering a crewed boat. The experience is like having your friend there to help with things. Do not be put off by the price; there will be plenty of savings. Consider the following and then contact a company that offers private, crewed boat trips.
Pick the Crew
Part of the private charter experience is picking the crew you want. If you plan on eating on the boat during the trip, make sure to have a cook on board. You can also request medical personnel, a private trainer, a babysitter, or even an event coordinator. You may also decide to go with a basic crew and come back to land each night. This way you can take only the crew you will need for the day. Take a scuba diver or instructor if you will be diving that day, and then take a professional fisherman if you want to go fishing the next day.
Decide on Your Schedule and Plans
You decide what you want to do and when you want to do it. The crew is fine with waking up early to take you to a great place to snorkel or scuba, or waiting until afternoon to go watch the dolphins or other sea creatures. You can even change plans if you and the family decide you want to do something else. If you aren't quite sure of what is available to do, ask the crew, and they can give you a number of options.
Save Money
Because the crew you hire will be local to the area, you can be sure to get the best deals on things. If you will be eating on the boat, the crew will know which grocers or markets have the foods you want at good prices. They will know about all the equipment for the trip and may even have extra you can use at a discounted price. In addition, if there are fees for any activities, they will know where to find discount tickets or know about cheaper options for the same type of thing.
Take advantage of the knowledge of the crew and plan out exactly what you and your family want for your vacation. You should not have to endure a trip doing what others want to do. While a cruise can be a lot of fun, and you can meet new people, you will also be stuck sticking to a schedule you may not want to keep, doing things that do not interest you at all. Don't spend your time in a cabin reading; take the trip you want.
Talk to a company such as Serenity Ventures LLC to start planning a trip that will be brilliant for you.
