Yacht Charter in the BVI’s; Through the Pages of “Treasure Isle”
Visit the Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters Website
Cruise in the British Virgin Islands in the very wake of Pirates! For indeed the islands of Norman and Peter Island were home to many pirates and the setting for the famous children’s book, “Treasure Isle”, by Robert Louis Stevenson. Snorkel in the caves on Norman Island where the very treasure is said to have been buried, and anchor in Deadman’s Bay off of Peter Island, next to Dead Chest, the setting of the marooning of mutinous pirates, left with no more than a bottle of rum. Yo Ho Ho.

Visiting Venice by Yacht Charter
Visit the Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters Website
St. Marks Cathedral
Imagine pulling up in your own yacht and tying up the quay just down from St. Marks Square and listening to the bells of St. Marks Cathedral as they toll the hours. With enough advance planning, dockage reservations are available along this famous waterfront, with all of Venice, Italy laid out in front of you to wander as you will. Or perhaps to have a coffee at one of the many cafes along the edges of St. Marks Square with wandering musicians livening up the evening hours. And, of course, there are shops and great restaurants, although you may prefer to dine on board on the deck entertained as life passes by on the quay in front. Read the rest of this entry »
