more than a vacation aboard your own private Charter Yacht!

What you are about to discover is one of the best-kept travel secrets in the world: Chartering your own yacht is better than a vacation at an exclusive island resort. It's better than being on a cruise ship, too. That's because it gives you the best of both, plus a whole lot more.

It's affordable as you want it to be, it's not complicated, you don't have to know anything about boats - and, most important, it's a whole lot of fun!

It's like combining the best features of a cruise ship and a luxury resort. You'll travel to a different, unspoiled destination each day with a degree of pampering and personal attention you may not have experienced before.

Say good-bye to crowds, waiting in lines, and pre-set itineraries. This is your own private yacht, with a variety of amenities and water sports to enjoy at will, and a launch to take you ashore whenever you please.

Worldwide destinations are yours to choose from.

Whether your choice is the Caribbean with its warm inviting sun and crystal-clear waters, the Eastern or Western Mediterranean steeped in history and culture, the splendor of the Pacific Northwest or New England, or an exotic destination in the Pacific or Indian Ocean… the World is Your Playground.

You can choose from sailing yachts, motor yachts or catamarans sized and priced to fit any lifestyle and budget.

With hundreds of yachts available to choose from and a wealth of first-hand information to draw upon, your CYBA broker will know which yachts are right for your particular needs, whether it be a small intimate vacation for two on a 40-foot sailboat, or a large corporate function aboard a 300-foot super yacht.

Your professional crew will take care of all the details, so you can relax and unwind.

Your personal chef will plan each meal based on your specific requests. Your skipper will personally guide you to your chosen destination, knowing where to find the most secluded beaches, the quietest anchorages or the liveliest evening entertainment.

Many yachts offer a myriad of water sports. Scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, water-skiing, wakeboarding, fishing, windsurfing and jet-skiing are just a few of the many activities you may find at your disposal, and your captain and crew will be well-versed in operating this equipment and can offer instruction on many levels.

Activities are not limited to those found afloat, though. You will have ample opportunity to visit ashore to take part in shore side activities as well, just as you would be able to do should you stay in a hotel.

Your first - and most important - step in planning your charter vacation is choosing a good broker to help you.
