Carolyn cruises and participates in numerous regattas to this day. She spends her time and energy focusing on sailing, which has allowed her to gain expert knowledge concerning locations, yachts, and sailing regattas.

Featured Destination:
Croatia
The Land of Old, Emerging as a New Charter Location
Enveloped for decades inside Yugoslavia, the nation of Croatia is re-emerging and stretches along the Adriatic Sea from Italy to Montenegro. A jewel of a cruising location, Croatia is shaking off years of hiding in the shadows and is emerging as a great new charter location. Also known as the Dalmatian Coast, or The Land of 1000 Islands, this coastline sparkles with clear blue waters. Along the shoreline are fjords, beaches, stands of pine trees, and pristine anchorages, peppered between towns and villages earmarked with the architecture of centuries of evolving civilizations. In fact a number of the towns and villages in Croatia are home to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and are well worth seeing.
Croatia as a cruising destination has emerged more every year, with new marinas being built and more crewed yachts available for charter along the coast. Cruise where many civilizations have cruised before over many centuries and left their mark along the shoreline, in cities, villages, even rock outcroppings. Anchor next to Roman or Medieval ruins, explore beautiful beaches in virtual solitude, visit markets where the smell of fresh fruits and vegetables greet you on entrance, and fresh glistening fish are sold on the docks in the early am.
Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters is very versed on the yachts available, charter itineraries and the best ways to travel to and from this enchanting charter destination.

The Latest News:
The St. Barth's Bucket
The first Bucket Regatta was organized in Nantucket, Mass, on August 1st, 1986 by Captain Roger James the Captain of the 82' Huisman VOLADOR. Between 1986 and 2001, the Bucket flourished becoming a premier Mega Yacht Regatta that invited Owners and Crews of the World's largest sailing yachts to sail to peak performance in a safe venue. The concept of Pursuit racing was brought to life by the Bucket Regatta meaning the slower yachts start first and faster yachts later with all meeting at the end for a close finish. That is if the calibrated times are calculated properly The first St. Barth's Bucket was sailed in 1995 with a fleet of four yachts. This years Bucket Regatta has reached the maximum limit of 32 boats total. A few participants worth mentioning and also available for charter are 289' Perini Navi MALTESE FALCON, 154' Perini Navi ANDROMEDA LA DEA and VIRAGO Swan 100S. The Bucket Regatta offers a unique opportunity to Cruiser race onboard some of the most beautiful yachts in the world. But if your interest isn't racing you are welcome to watch the event on one of the hundreds of yachts, power or sail, offered for charter by Northrop & Johnson Worldwide Yacht Charters.
