Italian Captain Francesco and his partner Melissa known this area very well, including the history, and of course, the special Sicilian foods and wines for which is area is famous. Ombre Blu is located for boardin in Milazzo, Sicily, just on the northerneastern tip of the island, which is a perfect starting point for a charter to include the Aeolian Islands, or just a charter along the coast of Sicily. Francesco and Melissa will also organize land trips with a car and guide, as who can come to Sicily and not visit Mount Etna.

Ombre Blu is comfortable for 6 guests in three guest staterooms, all with ensuite head. Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters has already had one successful charter on this yacht this summer and we are looking forward to booking many more. The charter rate for Ombre Blu is quite reasonable and you can request a rate for the yacht and crew only or a rate inclusive of the yacht, crew, food, beverage and fuel. Right now, the entire month of August is free, which is a great month to cruise in this area.

Antigua Yacht Charter Show: Featuring Catamarans; Matau, Lumahai, Diadem

Visit the Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters Website


Relax in the Caribbean

Moving on to the fourth day at the Antigua Yacht Charter show.
Today we viewed some more catamarans. Catamarans are always popular in crewed yacht charter in the Caribbean. New catamarans are being offered for crewed yacht charter each season. The trend in crewed catamarans offered for charter is for the new yacht to be bigger and more luxurious with each new catamaran launched.

MATAU, a 75' catamaran was launched this Spring and has just sailed over to the Caribbean. With 4 guest staterooms, each with ensuite head, Matau is very roomy on board. The guest staterooms are large; three with queen sized beds and one with a king sized bed. Matau sports a flybridge deck with a wide open stairway for access to this deck on top of the covered aft deck, and a private aft deck area with deck recliners for sunning. Brett and Andrea welcome you on board, along with Brett's sister Gina and Phillip for a full crew of 4.



See Brochure on Matau

DIADEM, 58' Catamaran, with 3 guest staterooms has a large master on one side, which is a new layout, not found on many catamarans. While a great yacht for many groups, this layout is perfect for a family, with the parents in the master in one pontoon and the children in the other two staterooms in the other pontoon. One of the staterooms has a large king bed that can also be separated into two singles. Chadwick and Wendy, the Captain and Chef, are a very friendly and experienced charter crew.

Also offering this same layout, but slightly larger is LUMAHAI, a 60' catamaran, with a great crew, David and Kim. Both are English and bring 10 years of work in the hotel industry on land to sea offering outstanding hospitality on the water
