Trina Howes, Senior Charter Broker at CharterWorld reveals her favourite superyacht choices for the 2019 summer season…
Over the years I have been lucky enough to work with crew who are, quite simply, amazing at what they do. This selection of yachts is my favourite to work with because the owners really understand what it takes to pull off an amazing charter and make sure that their yachts are equipped perfectly for the charter guest. They are all immaculately maintained, have excellent amenities and the very best professionals on board to look after their clients.

These are yachts that I have booked for my clients, many of them more than once, and the feedback I receive after the charter has always been exceptional and usually includes the comment “that was the most amazing holiday, thank you!”.
This selection of yachts has a crew and owners that will do whatever it takes to ensure that the clients have the holiday of their dreams and walk away with unforgettable memories of a wonderful time spent with family and friends. They make sure that when the client steps on board they really don’t have to think of anything.
Fun and relaxed vacation aboard Lady Britt
The menu is based on careful consideration of the clients’ preference sheets and dietary requirements and an itinerary designed around the clients’ wishes with special and secret locations based on the captain’s first-hand knowledge of the cruising area.
The crew really take the time (and have the time) to prepare properly for the charters. They make sure they have thought of everything before the guests even step on board. There are lots of little touches throughout the charter that make the charter guests feel comfortable, pampered and special.
The below yachts have done an exceptional job for my clients’ charters and I love to work with them as I know placing one of my clients on any of these yachts means I will get a note at the end of the vacation saying, “Trina, that was the best vacation we have ever been on.”
“Hi Trina, we wanted to let you know that we had an awesome time on our JUST ENOUGH charter… loved the yacht, and Brandon and his entire crew were great.”
