Yacht Charter; Visit Washington DC on the Potomac River
 Washington DC and Potomac River Cruise right up the Potomac River from the Chesapeake Bay while on a crewed yacht charter along the mid Atlantic coast of the United States and dock right next to many of the “must see” highlights of the nation’s capitol, Washington DC. It is just a 95 mile trip up the Potomac River on a crewed yacht charter to Washington DC and there are several good marinas with dockage in the Tidal Basin, which is located within walking distance of the many block long squares of grass called the National Mall, and the center of many of the city attractions. A cruise up or down the Potomac River on a crewed charter yacht passes right by Mount Vernon the home of the nation’s first President, George Washington, with dockside access on the Potomac River for a stop here as well while on your yacht charter itinerary including the Potomac River and Washington DC along the east coast of the United States.

Yacht Charter Exploring the San Blas Islands; Home of the Kuna Indians
 Kuna Indian Beach Just off of the eastern entrance to the Panama Canal, sit the San Blas Islands, a beautiful archipelago of around 378 islands and bits of land of which only 49 are inhabited.

The Kuna Indians are the indigenous people to Panama and Columbia and still maintain their culture, traditions, language and unique form of life in their Kuna communities, which is best experienced on a yacht charter cruise through the San Blas Islands. Explore the world of the Kuna Indians and the beauty of the San Blas Islands on your next crewed yacht charter.

Belize Yacht Charter; Sighting the Red Footed Booby
Red Footed Booby Bird Nesting
About 60 miles off of the coast of Belize, is Lighthouse Reef, with a bit of land called Half Moon Caye, which is one of the few homes in the world of the rare White Red Footed Booby. For any non-ornithologists a Booby is a species of bird. Lighthouse Reef also offers outstanding diving and snorkeling, notably the famous Blue Hole, however ashore on Half Moon Caye, is one of two known nesting spots for the White Red Footed Booby. Take a break between snorkeling or diving trips, and step ashore to follow the nature trail on Half Moon Caye that takes you right up in the trees near these very rare birds; rare because unlike most Red Footed Boobies which are a dull brown, these Boobies on Half Moon Caye are a bright white, which is seen only in one other location in the world on a small island near the island of Tobago.

Belize Yacht Charter; Exploring the “Blue Hole”
Blue Hole, Belize
With three of the world’s know atolls, yacht chartering in Belize offers great coral reef snorkeling and diving, with the most notable dive location being the “Blue Hole”. Made famous by Jacques Cousteau, the Blue Hole is no less extraordinary then when Cousteau and his crew explored the depths, and declared this spot one of the “10 Best Scuba Diving Locations in the World” in 1971. This large underwater sinkhole was formed when the roof of an underwater cavern collapsed leaving a circular opening, just under the surface of the ocean over 980′ in diameter. Located in Lighthouse Reef, the Blue Hole is part of the larger Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System, which is a declared UNESCO World Heritage Site and well worth visiting while on a yacht charter in Belize.

Georgia’s Barrier Islands
Barrier Islands, Georgia
Sprinkled all along the Georgia coastline are the low lying Georgia Barrier Islands. The full list of these islands is extensive and includes from north to south, Tybee, Wassaw, Ossabaw, St. Catherines, Sapelo, Wolf, Little St. Simons, Sea, St. Simons, Jekyll, Little Cumberland, and Cumberland. Some of these islands are uninhabited jewels of nature, some are great remote get aways, and some hold their own as a resort island of distinction. But what they all do is form the barrier that protects the coast of Georgia in this area and as land masses are continually changing in size, and shape as the powerful forces of winds, ocean currents, waves, storms and tides make their mark. From wild horses to pirates, sea island cotton, gilded age resorts, and miles of beaches, these islands have had their place in history and are a great cruising location to explore and learn today.

Savannah, Georgia; Visit by Charter Yacht
Armstrong House in Savannah, Georgia
Located on the Intracoastal Waterway, Savannah, Georgia is a city steeped in history and the main port on the Savannah River. Agriculture was the mainstay of Georgia for centuries and all was exported out of the port of Savannah. In the 1800′s, Savannah was the busiest port in America. Exported goods started with indigo and silk, but soon switched to cotton, with Sea Island Cotton a specialty. Savannah, through trade, was a wealthy city in the 1700 – 1800′s, which showed in the buildings and lifestyles of its citizens. As a trade city with the importation of exotic goods from around the world, Savannah also became known as a center for culture and high style. Today the southern charm and hospitality of Savannah is internationally known, and Savannah is a “must see” port on a cruise of the south eastern coast of America. Read the rest of this entry »
