Wanderlust Yacht Vacations Weather Special
If you let all the hype on the TV weather channels get to you, you'll
believe that you're doomed by the weather. When they have no weather to
talk about, they see their rating begin to slide so, they revert to reliving
the Tornadoes, Floods, Hurricanes, Blizzards, and Mudslides of the last
century. Have you noticed how the prospect of a tropical storm developing
in the Pacific or Atlantic brings smiles and excitement to the weatherman's
face? I am convinced that newscasters take perverse pleasure in predicting
disaster. Bad weather news means good ratings. The down side is they're
scaring people away from weather sensitive areas just like "Jaws"
scared a whole generation of kids away from the water.
As you all know the Caribbean has been dealt a major share of this media sensationalism in the last several years. They would have you believe that tropical storms are an annual occurrence in every part of the Caribbean. The fact is, Wanderlust Yacht Vacations has only cancelled one week of charter due to threatening weather during 23 years of committed business in the Caribbean.
We are so confident that the threat of bad weather will not disrupt your vacation we are giving a financial guarantee that it won't.
Should a tropical storm cause a charter to be canceled a full refund of
any deposit or monies paid for services not rendered will be made.
If you wish to reschedule the charter at a later date rather than receive a refund Wanderlust Yacht Vacations will guarantee you a ten-day vacation at the time of your choice at the original contracted seven-day rate.
That's more than a 40% Inconvenience Bonus
While other meteorological disturbances can strike without warning, a tropical storm is a phenomenon that can be forecast days, if not weeks in advance and with modern satellite technology we can accurately track its movement and take action days before it affects the local area.
You will have the option to cancel a charter if a Hurricane Watch is issued for the area even if we do not feel the storm is a threat. In the event that a Hurricane Warning is issued, the charter would automatically be cancelled.
The late summer months have always been our favorite weather months in the islands. We hope that you will see through all the bad weather hype and come join us.
