Vacation like a boss: Plan the ultimate guys’ or couple’s week
Sometimes, you just gotta get away.
Away from the stress of work; demands of family and the humdrum of routine.
It’s time to grab the guys, go blow off some steam and vacation like a boss!
The perfect escape
Picture this.
You wake up in an unfamiliar room. It’s quiet except for the faintest sound of lapping water. You pull yourself out of the soft bed and throw open the curtain. Outside your window, the first rays of morning sun glint off the sea beneath your feet. A few hundred yards away palm trees bend over white sands. You half expect to see a dolphin swim past.
You are in the master cabin on board your own, private yacht.
Out on deck you find one of the stewardesses laying out the breakfast table. “Would you like a coffee? Glass of water? Fresh juice?” she asks quietly.
No thanks. You head to the swim platform where a deckhand is polishing gleaming white paint and stainless steel. He points at the tender. “Would you like a lift ashore?”
Definitely. He takes you to the sandy beach where you go for a long, head-clearing run. You leave a solitary trail of footprints behind—there’s nobody here but you.
By the time you get back to the yacht your buddies are up and cracking jokes over a hearty breakfast. You grab a freshly baked roll and a seat as the captain approaches to make plans for the day.
How about water sports in the morning before the breeze ruffles the water too much, he suggests. Then a short cruise to a nearby lagoon filled with giant granite boulders, perfect for snorkeling. After lunch, he can organize a helicopter trip over the volcano or a horseback ride along the beach. There’s plenty to do in the harbor, too: restaurants, beach clubs, golf courses. If you’d like, he can even have a masseuse come to the yacht later on. ‘It’s up to you, of course,’ he says. ‘No rush.’
And that’s what makes this the ultimate guys getaway.
On a yacht charter, you have the freedom to plan your day, to change your mind, and go wherever the wind takes you. It’s just you and the boys doing whatever you damn well feel like doing. It’s the perfect way to shed all that pent up stress.
Spectacular service
The service on board a yacht is second to none. Just sit back, relax and let other people take care of you.
Yacht crews are chosen for being highly personable, discreet and well-trained. They adapt to your desired style of service, whether that is formal and refined or a more relaxed family atmosphere.
But it’s the special touches that elevate a yachting holiday above all others: the slippers waiting for you on deck as you arrive. The newspaper laid out at your breakfast table next to a hot cup of coffee made just the way you like it. The trays of iced teas and cocktails that appear as if out of nowhere. And the canapés that pass around on deck as the sun sets.
Luxury yachting is all about perfection, you see, and your crew is there to deliver it.
Globetrotting destinations
In the mood for a week of club hopping and nightlife? Head down to Florida where you can sail from Miami to Key West, stopping at all the hottest beaches and bars in between.
Is culture and refinement more your style? Visit the French Riviera, the birthplace of yachting, where you can take in the grand palaces of Monte Carlo or sail around Cap d’Antibes.
Looking for adventure? A yacht charter in Indonesia will bring you face-to-face with sharks, manta rays, and the deadly Komodo Dragon. You can hike to the top of a volcano or through the jungles of a deserted island.
The world is your oyster, waiting to be explored.
More affordable than you might think
Until recently, yachting has been the exclusive pastime of the uber-wealthy, costing many millions to buy and run and many hundreds of thousands of dollars to charter out by the week.
But OceanScape Yachts is changing all that. This one-of-a-kind vacation club is making yachting vacations more accessible and affordable for travelers just like you. In fact, you and a group of friends can charter a yacht—complete with luxury cabins for up to 12 guests, a whirlpool tub, jet skis, a 5-star crew and your own personal chef—for about the same cost as a week at a high-end hotel or one of the fancier cruise lines. A luxury, to be sure, but not out of reach.
Can’t afford to get away for an entire week? No problem. Day charters are available for a weekend of fishing and diving or tailgating in style before the big game.
Want to know more? OceanScape Yachts has put together the definitive guide to yachting vacations filled with destination guides, pricing information, and even recipes to give you a taste of yachting without ever leaving home. You can download it free of charge.
Come, discover a whole new way to “sea” the world.
