Abiego Yachts International

Overview

People are innately drawn to warm weather and water. Conventional travel wisdom to satisfy such want is to vacation at a waterfront resort or on a cruise ship. From resorts you must arrange an excursion, at extra cost, in order to spend a few hours on the water. Cruise ships herd you around with a couple thousand strangers, and the few opportunities to disembark are anything but intimate. A private yacht charter through Abiego is the remedy for the common vacation.

On your private yacht charter, you select the course and the itinerary, which is subject to change, of course, at your whim. Set the tempo; sail or cruise swiftly from island-to-island or drop anchor to enjoy a swim and a sunset. Choose the ambience; completely casual or highly sophisticated. Cocktail hour is any hour on board, or hit the nearest island bar for the local specialty. Your own private chef prepares on-board meals from a menu handpicked by you. The cuisine will challenge the best fare of any five-star restaurant. Most yachts also offer a variety of water sports equipment, from snorkeling to scuba, kayaking to jet skis, fishing gear and more.

Yacht charters are for everyone and are available in all price ranges. Many yachts charter for about the same price as a cruise or land-based vacation, but include so much more. Some yachts offer all-inclusive rates where all of your meals, soft drinks, bar, fuel and water sports are included in the rate. Other yachts are “plus all expenses” which means the charter fee includes the yacht and the crew only. All expenses are additional, such as fuel, dockage, food, beverages etc. There are as many types of yachts as there are destinations; from two cabins to fifty; big sails or big horsepower.* Some yachts specialize in hosting families with children; others cater to corporations or couples. Destinations include the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Mediterranean, New England, Australia, Alaska and hundreds more in between.

Travel to islands, waterways and hideaways that cruise ships or excursions cannot approach. Experience exotic destinations that exceed imagination. Savor local cuisine and specialty drinks at restaurants and bars accessible only by boat. Center your trip around diving, fishing, sightseeing or simply relaxing. Go inland at every chance or not at all. Whatever your pleasure, Abiego will serve as your compass as you plan your yacht charter getaway

engagements, honeymoon, anniversaries;
