For the past 18 years, the CYBA State Street Account at State Street Bank has added a high degree of professionalism to the industry and a great deal of peace of mind to the broker, the yacht owner and the charterer.
A vacation aboard your own private charter yacht renews your spirit.
Come cast off your cares, and let yourself truly relax and unwind.
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, it's not complicated, you don't have to know anything about boats — and, most important, it's a whole lot of fun!
What's it like? Why just take a cruise when you can take the whole boat? Why stay at one land-locked resort when you can travel to a variety of beautiful places? Charter your own private yacht, and say good-bye to crowds, waiting lines, and pre-set itineraries. It'll just be you and a few friends or family deciding where you want to go and what you want to do, whenever you want.
Discover intriguing harbors as your knowledgeable crew provides insider's tips on special places. Visit quiet coves and deserted beaches only accessible to yachts like yours. Revel in the peace and quiet, commune with nature, or simply indulge in long afternoon naps.
In the comfort and luxury of your private yacht, you can plan each day as it comes. There are plenty of things to do, from more strenuous activities like windsurfing, water skiing, snorkeling, or scuba diving, to exploring ashore on foot or by car, spending some quality time with people you really care about, or reading a good book. Not busy enough, how about some wonderful shopping and nightlife in interesting ports of call?
Throughout your cruise, every meal will be created just for you, according to your preferences. Ask to have a picnic prepared for you to take ashore, or enjoy a leisurely lunch on deck. Have a formal candle-lit dinner in the yacht's salon, or dine casually under the stars.
You'll return from your charter vacation thoroughly refreshed, invigorated, and ready to take on life's challenges once more.
Where should you go? A majority of first-time charterers choose the Caribbean because of its predictably good weather, crystal-clear waters, and lush tropical islands. And because of all it offers, many charterers return again and again. There are other exceptional charter areas all over the world, from Maine to the Mediterranean, and from Seattle to the South Pacific.
How do you pick a boat? You can select from a variety of sail or motor yachts suitable for as few as two, up to as many as twenty guests. Just give your charter broker an idea of where you want to go, what you'd like to do, how many will be in your party, and your approximate budget. He or she will know exactly the right yachts to recommend.
How do you get started? The first — and most important — step you'll take in planning your charter vacation is choosing a good broker to help you. Always look for the CYBA logo, which identifies those brokers who are active members of the professional Charter Yacht Brokers Association. CYBA members must meet extensive requirements in order to qualify for membership in this prestigious organization. They must subscribe to CYBA's strict code of ethics, and they must inspect yachts and interview crews regularly to maintain their membership status. With their extensive experience and knowledge, they will help you arrange everything.
Haven't you waited long enough? Come enjoy the good life! Make this the year you discover the best vacation of all, on your own private yacht. All it takes is a call to a member of CYBA.
