YACHT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Enough of relaxing on land and let’s dive right into the turquoise water to explore the other side of the world!

THE NOVEL CORONAVIRUS may have put the cruise industry on pause in the past, but now that the travel restrictions have slowly eased up, we are pretty sure you all want to just get out without even packing and hit the high seas to get away from urban epicenters. But, with great freedom, comes great responsibility and that too without compromising on safety. And when it comes to travelling safely, one of the safest ways to travel in today’s day and age is by a luxury yacht. And it is not just us who are saying this, but private charter owners as well who claim that their phones are ringing off the hook asking whether their private yacht is available for safe travel. But, imagine you taking all the precautions just to end up at a destination that doesn’t even let you unpack, let alone unwind. Well, fret not, for we’ve got you covered on that part, only if you could give us a couple of minutes. So cross your legs, sit back and relax to sip onto that hot chocolate and see what the world has to offer.

FLORIDA KEYS

Chartering a yacht in the Keys cannot be complete without snorkeling, fishing, or even diving in the continental United States. Cruising along the Atlantic coast that head you right at the tip of Key Largo, Islamorada, and then Key West; the route will let you explore the underwater world in Key Largo that happens to be one of the best spots for scuba diving; ergo, do urge your captain to book a dive in the clear waters of the tropical islands. You can even head to the island city of Key West - which is Florida’s southernmost picturesque point with pastelhued, conch-style houses - to go diving and snorkeling through the coral reefs that let you witness the spectral sunsets as well.
