CHARTER STORIESA relaxing Caribbean journey full of fun and local flavor.While in the Caribbean, a group of brokers had a unique
opportunity to enjoy a few days onboard 140' Proteksan-
Turquoise M/Y Capricorn. Fam-trips like this provide
first-hand knowledge of our yachts and services and this
sets us apart when catering to your charter needs.
Our route took us from Antigua to Nevis, St. Kitts, St.
Barths, and finally St. Maarten. We left Antigua
in choppy seas and brisk winds but the newly
installed zero-speed stabilizers made the passage
enjoyable. Captain Eddie’s boat-handling and the
crew’s attentive service was exceptional.
The approach to Nevis is spectacular. With
Nevis Peak reaching for the sky at a height of
985 metres, the island is one of the prettiest
and most dramatic in the West Indies.

The fresh scent of the sea and blooming flora is a true sensory delight.Although it is possible to climb Nevis Peak with
a guide, certain parts are challenging. Our group
elected to use a local land guide and explore the
island’s interior. Nevis is known for her restored sugar
plantations and exotic flora and fauna. There are five
restored plantations that are now elegant inns. Each
has a unique style and amenities fitting a relaxing stay
in peaceful surroundings. The history of these inns is
fascinating and a visit to each is worthwhile to admire
the landscape or enjoy a scrumptious lunch or dinner.
Our guide took us to Montpelier Plantation Inn, a 300
year-old sugar plantation that now embraces effortless
luxury with stunning sea views. Lord Horatio Nelson
wed the Nevisian widow Frances Nisbet in 1787 here
under the branches of a silk cotton tree. Next we
visited the Golden Rock Plantation Inn with impeccably
maintained grounds and one of the most amazing
displays of flowering trees and plants found anywhere
in the Caribbean. A stroll on the nature trails featuring
lush gardens and the fresh smells of sea and blooming
flora is a sensory delight. The restored Inn is gorgeous
with 5-star service and common areas all artistically
decorated and beautifully maintained.

In Nevis the locals are so friendly that they like to say: “You’re only a stranger here once.”After Nevis, we were on to St. Kitts, a intoxicating island with sandy beaches and unparalleled natural beauty. St. Kitts also
features restored plantations and beautiful resorts. One of the most luxurious is Christophe Harbour encompassing 2,300
acres on the SE peninsula, where we enjoyed an incredible lunch and afternoon swimming in the warm azure seas and
the inn’s infinity pool. Christophe Harbour is still under development, but will include a superyacht marina and village, a golf
course, restaurants, and high-end luxury residential ownership opportunities when complete. There will be no luxury resort
like it anywhere in the Caribbean. A day here is “a must”, an hour passes like a minute in these beautiful tropical surroundings.
The French island of St. Barths offers opportunities for people-watching, chic shops and fabulous restaurants in the town of
Gustavia, along with glorious white sand beaches on the opposite side. There are 14 beaches in all. Gouverneur, Flamands,
Saline, St. Jean and Toiny are well known. Few are crowded, even in peak season, and all are free and open to the public.
After a stroll around Gustavia we enjoyed swimming and snorkeling off the yacht anchored in the beautiful Colombier Bay.
The Capricorn crew pampers every guest and ensures a fabulous luxury charter experience.Our drop off destination was St. Maarten, on the Dutch
side. This island is bustling with casinos, great duty free
shopping, and Princess Juliana International Airport
where flights arrive and depart daily from all major
countries. St. Maarten is only a few hours from the best
Caribbean islands, and a convenient place to begin or
end your charter. Take a taxi into Philipsburg’s Front
Street for duty-free jewelry, electronics, watches and
more, and visit the French side for a quaint dinner and
quiet evening. We chose the restaurant Le Calmos
Café, a delightful secluded spot directly on the beach
in Grand Case, where we enjoyed a simply delicious
meal sitting at picnic tables in the sand, waited on by
the very attentive staff who served us fabulous fresh
fish and local delicacies. There are many more to
choose from in the main town of Marigot.
It was most saddening to witness the arrival of the
taxi for our trip to the airport. The crew on Capricorn
made us feel part of the family, all the while pampering
us with incredible attentiveness, fun and gastronomic
indulgence. We highly recommend the experience
of a luxury yacht charter in the Caribbean to anyone
seeking the best life has to offer!
