$3445 / 1br - 7 Day, ALL INCLUSIVE - PRIVATE YACHT CRUISE (double occupancy)



Thanks for checking out my listing. You have the opportunity to take a vacation of a lifetime. This one week cruise from Tradewinds Cruise Club is hosted on one of their privately chartered yachts, ranging from 47-70 feet. These yachts are as romantic as they are exciting. The one week charter is capable of leaving from 1 of 5 Caribbean ports, YOU CHOOSE! Check out the very popular BELIZE. Explore ST MARTIN or bounce around the BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS for a week. Cruise through and around ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA Islands, and last but not least head way south to the very secluded ST VINCENT/GRENADINE Islands littered with celebrity homes and estates (Donald Trump, Stevie Wonder, Tommy Hilfiger, etc...). Each one of these 7 day experiences is ALL INCLUSIVE!!! That includes all food, liquor (yes liquor), and travel taxes. You can party all week, relax and not lift a finger, or even roll up your sleeves and jump in with the crew sailing the yacht from one secluded bay to another.

My wife and I are currently members with Tradewinds Cruise Club and until very recently we have traveled with them every other year. Each trip has surpassed our expectations and is easily among the BEST vacations we have taken in our lives. The beauty of the Caribbean has never let us down, topped with outstanding meals, service, and new friends - we have become huge proponents of Tradewinds!

We are offering a 2nd cabin/week for only $2945.00 (below member's cost) if you'd prefer to experience the trip with friends or family. Rates for a one week charter have inctreased for 2009/2010 and retail for = $4950.00 (per couple/cabin).
