Turquoise Turtle Charters

🌎⛵️ So… where can I actually book a yacht charter?

After the amazing response to my last post — thank you! 💙 — I realised something…

A lot of you know me from Turquoise Turtle and the BVI, so you might think the BVI is the only place I book charters.

Oh no. 😂

Fancy waking up in the Bahamas?

Island hopping through Greece or Croatia?

Exploring the Grenadines?

Maybe St Martin, St Barths, Antigua, the USVI… or, of course, my beloved BVI. 🇻🇬

And it doesn’t have to be a sailing catamaran either.

⛵ Sailing catamarans
🛥️ Power catamarans
🚤 Motor yachts
⛵ Monohulls

From comfortable and casual to seriously luxurious.

Different destinations. Different yachts. Different budgets.

My job is to help you figure out which combination is right for YOU.

So next time someone says:

“We’d love to do a yacht charter one day…”

You can say:

“I know someone who can help you with that.” 😉💙

💙 You don’t have to book a yacht charter to support my business! 💙

Although, obviously, I wouldn’t complain if you did. 😂⛵️

After years as owner/crew aboard our own charter yacht, I’ve swapped hats and become a charter broker with Out of the Blue Yacht Charters.

So, if you’d like to help me grow my new business, you don’t have to spend a cent.

There are lots of little things you can do:

💬 COMMENT on my posts — even a quick 💙 helps more people see them.

↗️ SHARE a post with someone who loves travel, sailing or the Caribbean.

🏷️ TAG someone who keeps saying, “One day I’d love to charter a yacht…”

🗣️ TELL your friends, “I know someone who can help you with that!”

⭐ RECOMMEND ME when you see someone asking about a crewed yacht charter or looking for a charter broker.

👀 FOLLOW ALONG — because you never know when “one day” might turn into “let’s do it!”

And to all of you who have chartered with André and me before — your recommendation means the world to me. You know how I work, and you know that finding the right yacht and especially the right crew for each group matters to me.

Every comment, share, tag and recommendation puts my name in front of someone I might never reach on my own.

And that really does help me grow my business. 💙

Thank you for supporting this next chapter.

🌴 Go on… just have a look. I dare you. 😎⛵

Maybe you’ve always wondered what a private yacht charter would actually cost.

Maybe it’s sitting somewhere on that “one day…” list.

Or maybe you just need a little sunshine, turquoise water and something fabulous to look forward to. 💙

Well… “one day” has to start somewhere.

Tell me where you’d love to go, who you’d take, what you’d love to do — and your budget. I’ll do the fun part and see what might actually be possible.

No pressure. No obligation.

Just a little dreaming… and who knows where that might lead? 😉🌊

Warning: May result in excessive daydreaming, swimsuit shopping and sudden urges to book flights. 😂

YOU’VE SAILED WITH US… NOW I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. 💙

Those of you who have chartered with us know us pretty well. You’ve seen how we work, how we look after our guests — and probably a few things you wish you could unsee. 😂

So now that I’m on the other side of the charter world, helping people find the right yacht and crew, I’d love an honest answer:

⛵ Would you book your next charter through me? Why — or why not?

And if a friend said, “We’re thinking about a crewed yacht charter. Do you know a broker you’d recommend?”

What would you tell them about me?

I’m genuinely curious. No carefully worded testimonials required. No saying what you think I want to hear. 😂

Just tell me what you’d tell a friend.

I’m putting myself at your mercy here… 😳😂💙

Past TT guests — fire away! 👇

SO MANY YACHTS. NOW WHAT? ⛵️🌴

You’ve decided you want to charter a yacht.

Wonderful! Then you start looking…

Which yacht? Which crew? Which island? Which company? Why is this yacht $5,000 more than that one? Do we need a bigger boat? Is newer better? And how on earth do you choose between hundreds of beautiful photos? 😳😂

That’s where a good charter broker earns their keep.

And here's something many first-time charter guests don't realize:

Using a charter broker doesn't cost you extra.

The broker’s commission is already built into the yacht’s charter rate. So whether you book directly or through a broker, the charter price is generally the same.

The difference is that you have someone working for YOU.

A good broker should:

⛵ Listen to what your group actually wants — not simply send you a pile of available yachts.

👩‍✈️ Look beyond the boat and help find the right crew. A gorgeous yacht is wonderful, but the people you spend your week with can make or break your charter.

💰 Help you understand what you’re actually paying for and where spending more is — or isn't — worthwhile.

🌴 Know the destination well enough to tell you what works in real life, not just what looks good in a brochure.

🤔 Answer the questions you don't even know you should be asking.

And sometimes, most importantly…

Tell you when you DON'T need something.

After 15 years living and working aboard charter yachts, I know this business from the other side of the table. I've welcomed the guests, planned the itineraries, cooked the meals, filled the tanks, solved the problems and watched what turns a good charter into an unforgettable one.

Now, as a charter broker, I get to use all of that experience to help you choose yours.

I won't simply find you a yacht.

I'll help you find the charter that's right for YOU.

And yes — if you ask my opinion, you'll get it. 😉⛵️

Thinking about a crewed yacht charter and don't know where to start?

Send me a message. A few simple questions are usually all it takes to start narrowing down the hundreds of choices.

Just anchored off one of our favorite places, Tobago Cays. Grenadines. Sea teeming with life and the air with birds. Paradise.

This is interesting and very important. To our experienced and new divers. Read this keep it in mind and stay safe.
Never be afraid to call a dive off if you feel uncomfortable.

Most diving incidents don't begin underwater.

They begin on the surface.

This blog explores the small problems we often accept before entering the water. Fatigue, rushing, assumptions, poor communication and the pressure to "just get on with it." Individually they may not seem significant, but together they can slowly erode the safety margin before the dive has even begun.

A thought provoking reminder that good decision making starts long before you descend.
