Anchor Lines

It is always encouraging, from an industry standpoint, that on a weekly basis new Captains and potential yacht owners continue to contact our office to inquire about starting a new charter yacht business here in our little part of paradise. For myself, I see this as a reassuring economic indicator that the charter industry continues to thrive despite the economic challenges felt abroad and here at home. Sailors posses the need to be on the open seas like Stateside vacationers need to exercise their right to enjoy a family getaway.
The Caribbean has long sung her siren song to sailors and adventure seekers alike, and that song still rings true today. Operating a charter yacht business encompasses the best of the hospitality industry while also allowing its owner operators to enjoy a unique sort of lifestyle most just dream about in a Jimmy Buffet song.
So for all you soon to be sailors, considering a course change, I’d like to direct you to a quote worth pondering by a famous steamboat Captain, Mark Twain.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
And what better place to find your dream than in our United States Virgin Islands. Don’t be afraid to follow your dream. Contact your Virgin island Charter Yacht League and let us assist you in making your dreams come true. This is what we do.
