Food

Stand in line for the buffet, or be seated at your assigned time. Eat fast, there is another seating coming right after you! |
Menu is not customized to your tastes and can be costly 3 X a day. |
Personal chef who asks what you like and dislike as part of the charter planning. Eat where and when you want all inclusive. |
|
Activities
|
Stand in line with 1,000s of others to do what the ship offers, not necessarily what you want to do that day.
|
Same reef, same fish, same view, same place to do the same activities each day, and it is on their schedule, not yours.
|
Select a yacht with your activities in mind, and do them at your pace, and in a different place each day, if you like.
|
|
Beaches &
Destinations |
With 1,000’s of others, you will all be taken to the same beaches on the same few big islands capable of handling that many people.
|
Same beach every day, with every other hotel guest
|
Smaller, quaint islands and unique, out of the way beaches, many of which are accessible only by boat.
|
|
Instruction
|
Mass lecture if you are lucky, handed the equipment in line and figure it out on your own.
|
Share your instructor with every other hotel guest.
|
Personalized instruction in sailing, diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, cooking, underwater photography, philosophy and more.
|
|
Flexibility
|
Try and change the ship’s schedule! You go where the ship can fit, and where 1,000s can be handled.
|
Same, Same, Same. Or spend your time finding activities outside resort.
|
You set the pace. Your schedule can change if you like a particular island, or find something interesting along the way.
|
|
Sailing
|
Are you on a boat? How can you tell? Your windows are sealed and the deck is 100′ above the water.
|
Day trips only to places near by.
|
Experience the water and the joy of sailing. We can even teach you how!
|
|
Cost
|
On most ships, you will pay extra for every drink, including sodas. And shore excursions are extra and they add up.
|
At all-inclusives, you pay for everything, whether you use it or not, and anything out of the resort will be extra. |
All meals, drinks, transportation from island to island, personal service, and the use of onboard water toys are all included in the price.
