Nokomis, Fla. (June 16, 200 – The best way to experience the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and all the waters beyond is a private yacht charter vacation.

BAREBOATS

Our bareboats expert, Melody Delgado, doesn’t just sell bareboat charters. She does them herself, more than 15 times in the Virgin Islands alone. Melody also has done bareboat charters everywhere from the Bahamas to Tahiti and Australia. Before joining the Seven Seas group, she spent more than 11 years working for The Moorings, one of the world’s largest bareboat companies.

CREWED YACHTS

Our crewed yachts expert, Gail Hartman, has worked in the charter industry for nearly 20 years. Her primary area of expertise is the Virgin Islands, where she regularly books more crewed yacht charters than any other broker, anywhere in the world. Gail not only knows boats and crew from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean, but she also knows how to make the most of vacation time at sea. She is a certified scuba diver, an avid angler, and a lifelong sailor. Whether you want a powerboat or a sailboat with crew, a relaxing getaway or an activity-filled adventure, Gail can help you book the crewed yacht that’s ideal for you.

LUXURY MEGAYACHTS

Our luxury megayachts expert, Tim Nelson, specializes in motoryachts and sailing yachts more than 100 feet long. He was one of the first U.S.-based brokers to be welcomed into the prestigious Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association, an honor that, along with his membership in the Florida Yacht Brokers Association, serves as testament to his professionalism and deep industry knowledge. Unlike charter brokers who work for the same companies that serve yacht owners, Tim is an independent broker dedicated to matching your needs with the perfect yacht, no strings attached.

Mr. duPont comments on the world’s fastest cars, Bugatti Veyron

Gas prices might be high and the market might not be very strong, but that isn’t enough to stand in the way of a car nut and his extremely fast ride. These types of cars have one sole purpose in life: speed. Just ask Mr. Tom duPont, Publisher of duPont REGISTRY, a gallery of fine automobiles. He was asked to sit in the passenger seat of the $1 million dollar Bugatti Veyron, one of the fastest cars in the world, for a demonstration.

“A Bugatti test driver took a $100 bill and plastered it on the dashboard,” recalls Mr.duPont “He told me I could have it if I could grab it once we took off. The car accelerates so fast that you can’t touch [the $100 bill]; you can’t move your hands.”

Mr. Jeerapaet, president of duPont REGISTRY online, comments on his trip to New York and ABC NYC Limo service

As president of duPont REGISTRY online, Kit Jeerapaet is a busy man that is always on the move. When he had to make a business trip to New York City there was only one man and one company he trusted for his limousine needs: Russell Figaredo of A Better Chauffeured (ABC) NYC Limo. Mr. Jeerapaet was not going to be in the city long so he wanted his driver to not only be courteous but to know the quickest routes around town.

“My driver James Anees was excellent. I was on a tight schedule and had a lot of clients to meet with in a short period of time.” said Mr. Jeerapaet regarding the driver’s rapidity, “I highly recommend ABC NYC (Limo) for all your limousine service needs; whether in New York or throughout the country, due to their extensive network.”

ABC NYC Limo offers a premium limousine or Town Car service at a reasonable price. Unlike other comparable services, ABC NYC limo provides a well appointed vehicle complete with snacks, drinks and treats for the kids as well as an experienced driver that knows the streets of the city they are in.
