Bras d’Or Lake

Have you ever heard of the Bras d’Or Lake? When I arrived, I was told that the Bras d’Or Lake was the warmest body of salt water north of South Carolina, and I have never forgotten. I have also never forgotten how beautiful the area is and how nice the local people are. Located in Nova Scotia, Canada, the Bras d’Or Lake is an excellent cruising location for crewed yacht charter. I loved the time I spent both cruising on the lake and touring the surrounding countryside, in this beautiful area of the world.

Vietri sul Mer – Amalfi Coast

Located along the Amalfi Coast at the beginning of the Sorrento Peninsula is Vietri sul Mare, otherwise known as the “mother lode” of Italian hand painted ceramics. We wandered into Vietri purely by happenstance. While exploring the Sorrento Peninsula, we found ourselves on a main road of Vietri surrounded by shops and “factorias”, where ceramic objects of all sizes, shapes and purposes, were being made, hand painted and of course, sold.

Ischia Countryside

I have been to Ischia, Italy several times. Ischia is a unique volcanic island with many different thermal springs and is an island with a newly burgeoning boutique wine industry producing excellent wines from grapes grown in the volcanic soil. We went to Ischia again last Spring and spent a day with our local Ship Agent who showed us the special highlights tucked away on this island that should be added to a crewed yacht charter itinerary.

Exumas Swimming Pig

The Exumas Island Chain, located in The Bahamas stretching 120 miles south out of Nassau, is an excellent charter location. Miles of pristine deserted beaches stretch beside multicolored clear blue and green waters. We loved cruising there. Yours may be the only footprints in the white and sometimes pink powdery sand. You can swim, snorkel in shallow waters for hours, and the shelling is excellent. This is a charter location perfect for fun in the sun and really enjoying warm tropical waters.

Ventotene Town

Ventotene is one of two inhabited islands and part of six islands called the Pontine Islands of Italy. These islands, are only about 25 – 50 miles off of the west coast of Italy, near Rome and are still relatively unknown and unspoiled. As there are no airports in this island chain and relatively few ferries, Ventotene is best enjoyed as part of an itinerary on a crewed yacht charter. Read the rest of this entry »
