Yacht Charter
After gathering all the necessary information, the next biggest task at hand for us was to charter a luxurious yacht for a week. There are many resources through which you can book extraordinary yacht charter, but our idea was to get most freedom with essential privacy for all of us. In this part of the article I like to describe you the process through which you can charter a yacht and what things you have to keep in mind when you yacht charter. The basic phenomena that we have to understand is that what actually we require when renting a yacht. There are two types of yachts that you can rent. Bare boats and crewed yacht. The basic different between a bare boat yacht and a crewed yacht is very simple. you can analyze from literal meaning of the names. Crewed yacht is more like around 40 foot to 300 foot boat with a captain and few crew members are like a chef and cleaner. This kind of charter is helpful if you going with a family trip and especially kids are around with you.
On the other hand we have a bare boot charter, it a service of different kind. It allow basically a perfect suite if you are traveling with friends or bunch of adults. It give full privacy and with most freedom. And fortunately we were bunch of adult friends so we decided to charter a bare boat to have real vocation on our head.This is a very important factor that we have to keep in mind on which type of yacht to rent, because it can make or break your vocation. Keeping in mind it was the first trip for all of us. As living being we tend to form imagines and create perceptions about things from the first experience that we have.
If i give you a simple example , like if you first time go to a restaurant and you are have heard about its special offering regarding sea food , but the fact is that you actually never was a big fan of sea food or your taste buds are not very attuned to sea food, so you will natural tend to create a mindset that this restaurant is not good for you even though it make best Thia food which you like a lot, but you haven't tried it ever there. My point here is that you actually have to know what is needed for you is sometimes very different from what you actually select. Same phenomena are used in selecting best yacht for us. If you choose a crewed yacht with no privacy and freedom we don't find the trip as pleasurable as it could be. So it always about the your personal needs and then making a choice that suites you the best.
The next biggest decision that we had to make was to select a reliable charter service. There are many extra ordinary charter service available out there, but the best way to select is a simple process. You need to do two things before you decide to rent a yacht. First ask people around you who in past made yacht trip, ask them about their experiences, how they have found different yacht charter services, and if you don't find anyone who have been to yacht trip go on the website of the different charter services and read what they are offering? what people have written about them?. it is also a good source of collecting information that you are looking for. The next thing that you have to keep in mind is the cost of the charter. Many people research a lot on this reason, to find the most cost-effective option and end having a trip to forget. One thing we must keep in mind when deciding on a cost factor, Is the returns worthy spending your money. Does it actually giving out the benefits that it promises. Because many companies offer many services so keep in mind what actually you want and then decide which is most cost effective.

Australia the Land Down Under is on Sail
When it comes to
sailing and boating, Australia has it in spades… not that a spade is very
useful when you are out on the open ocean with nothing but you and the
elements. But I digress…
If you are
visiting this beautiful great southern land of ours and you are looking for
something unique and memorable to do then you can’t go past the ocean and the
experience that boat hire and yacht charter can bring. When it comes to boating and sailing,
we kinda know what we are doing too - but then that’s no surprise when you live
on an island that is surrounded by the ocean.
Our wide and
varied coastline provides uninterrupted adventures and incredible moments as
you and your party tackle inlet after inlet, discovering coastal pools and
secret tidal areas to further explore.
Chartering a Sailing Boat is Fun!
Above all, making
the decision to hire your own sailing boat is one of the most fun things you
can do! Most of the boats that are made available for hire in and around Sydney
are not self drive, and even if you have your own license, the boat owners tend
to want to drive their own, or alternatively they have their own team who
handle these things.
Chartering a sailing boat however means that you are in control - and
since most of these boats are hired by seasoned veterans of the boating scene
the enjoyment levels increase exponentially.
Is a Yacht the Same as a Sailing Boat?
I often get asked
this question and so thought I would take this moment to shed some light on
this question and explain what is what.
A Yacht usually
refers to a large vessel with NO SAILS. This term has grown to cover all areas
of vessels, with the larger being referred to as Super or Mega yachts. There
are actually superyachts that also have sails - in fact the biggest one is
being built now and is over 460ft long and 300ft high!!!! - read the full
article and see all the amazing pics of this build here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-3243137/The-world-s-LARGEST-super-yacht-revealed-Russian-billionaire-s-260m-mega-yacht-300ft-high-eight-floors-underwater-observation-room.html
Why is Sydney Harbour the Place to Go When
Sailing or Chartering a Boat?
When it comes to beautiful destinations and
iconic locations, nothing even comes close to Sydney and its magnificent
harbour. The Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House are probably two of the
most instantly recognisable landmarks in the world and when they are standing
proudly on each side of a pristine harbour you really cant find anything to
fault. Add to this the perfect year round Sydney weather and you start to see
why Australia really is the lucky country.
So what are you waiting for? Come on in,
the waters fine!

Caribbean Yacht Charter
You do not have to be surprised if the Caribbean are one of the most
admired and recommended destination in the whole world.
Its translucent crystal waters surround more than 700 islands, one
more beautiful than the other. What better way to discover it? Blogs and expert
travellers are clear: during a sailing vacation. Each one has his own
preferences: who is looking for a relaxed vacation, just with the sound of wind
and waves and will choose a sailboat. Then there is who, always nature and
sport lover, it will grant for more space and comfort and will jump a board a
catamaran. And finally, those who can not give up the speed and want to admire
the as many islands as possible, enjoying the luxury and privacy of a motor
yacht. Whatever the boat, you will swim with sea turtles, you will relax in the
sun lying on deserted golden beaches, eating exquisite fresh sea food and
discovering a traditional local culture, that will conquer your heart.
Wonderful family holiday destination, with sports and adrenaline
activities and also for a romantic getaway. Unforgettable landscapes,
breathtaking sunsets and hidden coves, that wait just for your silent visit.
The panoramas will fill you eyes, the views will speak for itself. During your yacht charter
in the Caribbean you will
enjoy clear and deep blue sea, in the comfort and privacy that only a yacht may
ensure you. Not to be missed the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the BVI and Antigua and Barbuda, heaven on Earth.

What Do Feng Shui Art and Yachting Have in Common?
They Can both
Help You Lead Longer, Healthier, and Happier Lives.
It really isn’t that surprising that one of
the first purchases that many successful businessmen make is buying a luxury
boat. Elevate the healing powers of your
water-based sanctuary even further by embracing Feng Shui art in the form of
Tibetan Buddhist thangka tapestries and Feng Shui pendant necklace jewelry.
Convert your yacht into a center for
healing and recovery from the harmful stress that our job often creates.
Sailing, fishing, as well as the soothing
rhythms of the water all have a healing and meditative affect that causes many
businessmen to view their boats as a private sanctuary from the stress and anxiety
that their jobs create.
Businessmen that love yachting and sailing
should note that the meditative effect of yachting isn’t just a figment of
their imagination – there are real, palpable health benefits to getting out
onto the water and “depressurizing” from their jobs.
In February of this year, Forbes proved that Western science is
finally catching up to what Eastern wisdom has known all along. Universities such as UCLA, Yale, Johns
Hopkins, and Harvard have begun to “discover” the multitude of health benefits
that come from meditation, including:
A) Protecting and preserving the grey
matter of the brain against the ravages of aging,
B) It rivals antidepressants in its ability
to combat and reduce depression and anxiety,
C) It can lead to volume changes in key
areas of the brain, including an increase in the hippocampus (which governs
learning and memory) and a decrease in the amygdale (which produces fear,
anxiety, and stress),
D) Just a few weeks of practiced meditation
can drastically improve concentration and focus,
E) Meditation can help break harmful
addictions, as the American Lung Association showed with smokers who used
meditation to help kick the habit,
F) Short meditation breaks can drastically
enhance the academic performances of children.
These are just a few of the benefits that
meditation can bring, and as many successful businessman already know, finding
ways to reduce and manage stress can also have a profound impact on the
potential for heart attacks, strokes, many forms of cancer, as well as
diabetes. Stress has not only been
linked to all of these life-threatening diseases, but a host of others that
includes insomnia, depression, obesity, and memory impairment.
How do you accomplish this? By transforming a space on your yacht into a
bona fide meditation room adorned
with Explosion Luck beautifully crafted Buddha Thangka tapestries. And if you
want to amplify the healing powers of Feng Shui even further, invest into one
of our Tibetan Thangka pendant necklaces.
Feng Shui helps to reduce negative energy,
relieve your stress, and above all, harmonize yourself to the positive healing
energies that the water possesses, and which is undeniably why so many
successful businessmen are drawn to yachting.
As a final note, you should remember that you’re not “purchasing” a Feng Shui tapestry or Feng Shui pendant from Explosion Luck. You’re making long-term investments into your own health, happiness, and future prosperity.
And once you get all the Tibetan thangka
tapestries you need for your yacht, don't stop there! Check out
