When you are what many charter
brokers describe as “the ultimate charter yacht” in the
Caribbean, you have to beat your drum a little bit to let everyone
know what makes you special. So, what is it that sets Wanderlust apart
from every other yacht in our price and size range? Besides our great
six-person crew, we have more of everything that helps make your vacation
truly unique. When you are deciding which yacht or vacation is best
for you, check to see if you are getting all this.
All Specialized Crew:
Everyone says that it is the crew that makes the charter. This is where
Wanderlust really stands apart from the rest of the fleet. Wanderlust
has a multi-national crew of six, the largest crew for a yacht of her
size in the Caribbean. This means more personal service and more opportunities
for activities. The crew consists of; a fully licensed Captain with
more years of charter experience than any other in the British Virgin
Islands, a professionally trained chef, a SCUBA diving instructor trained
and licensed by the Professional Association of Dive Instructors (PADI)
and two stewards to cater to your every need. When not serving you food
and cocktails or tidying your cabin, the stewards are eager to share
their knowledge of water-sports, guide you ashore, and generally assure
that you have the most relaxing and enjoyable holiday possible. Finally,
a qualified First Mate/Engineer is on board to keep everything running
smooth. The crew are multi talented and have more combined years of
charter experience than any other yacht in her class.
SCUBA
Diving: No Rendezvous:
While most charter yachts in the Caribbean offer SCUBA diving, it is
usually on a rendezvous basis. The yacht will rendezvous with a shore
based dive boat that will take you diving. Wanderlust, on the other
hand, has all the equipment and instructors on board to give you the
convenience of diving when you want, where you want, as often as you
want. Wanderlust offers SCUBA diving opportunities for all at a relaxed
pace to suit everyone. Unlike most other dive charters operations, Wanderlust
offers all-inclusive rates including referrals and certifications. Many
of our guests come on board never thinking that they are about to experience
one of the great thrills of their lives. If you are already certified
we can lead you to some of the underwater wonders that make the BVI
so special. After 25+ years chartering in the BVI, Captain Dick has
many secret dive sites solely for our guests’ enjoyment. That
means no crowds of divers. For those who have never dove and would like
to try, our PADI Instructor offers full-personalized instruction at
no additional cost. Take an introductive dive or get certified, it is
all possible on Wanderlust! Don't worry about dive gear; we have 12
sets of Sherwood BCs and regulators as well as masks and fins. Our 9
CFM Bauer air compressor onboard assures that your tank is full and
ready whenever you are. Wanderlust also has a dedicated dive boat. Our
21’ Paramount tender will take you to and from your dives in spacious
comfort. The diving opportunities offered on Wanderlust are unmatched
in the charter yacht industry.
Water sports: Widest Selection of Toys:
Another benefit of Wanderlust’s size is more room for toy storage.
You will not find another yacht in the Caribbean with the same variety
and amount of water sports equipment. Leading our fleet of tenders is
our 21’ Paramount Sports Fisherman with a 225 HP engine. Usually
one would only see a tender of this size on a large power yacht. Wanderlust
is the only luxury sailing yacht with a tender of this size as standard
equipment. It can comfortably transport 10 guests, and keep them dry
on their way to the dock or beach. Up to 8 divers will have plenty of
room for gear. Skiers and boarders will love our stainless-towing tower
that makes it easier to get up out of the water, as well as perform
tricks for those more experienced.
In addition to our Paramount Sports Fisherman, Wanderlust has a Deluxe
Caribe 50hp RIB Inflatable dedicated to additional water sports. With
two tenders, there is no need to wait for activities. We have a wide
array of inflatable tubes that go from gentle rides you can take with
cocktail in hand, to a giant banana, to those super wild rides comparable
to a theme park thrill! We also have equipment and offer instruction
for windsurfing (full range of sails and boards). Water skiing, both
Slalom and twin ski's including child training ski's. Two wakeboards
and a 7 foot tow-pole for those who want to learn some big jumps. Kneeboarding
and kayaking are some other top interests, and we have just recently
added a Hobie 16' sailing dinghy to our expansive list. A large assortment
of snorkeling equipment is provided including dive propulsion vehicles.
We have thought of everything, even sandcastle building equipment is
carried on board.
The Yacht: The Only
Luxury Trimaran of Her Size:
Wanderlust is one of the largest luxury multihulls available for charter
and the only luxury trimaran of her size. She has 1800 sq. ft. of exterior
deck space with abundant seating and lounging space for everyone onboard.
Measuring 65’ in length and 32’ wide, Wanderlust has
considerably more space than mono hulls and catamarans of greater
length due to its additional hulls.
Wanderlust is the perfect charter yacht for yet another reason. The
working and living areas for crew are on a separate lower deck level
from the guests. This way the crew can let you relax in total privacy.
Accommodations consist of seven guest staterooms. These include six
double staterooms, four with en-suite bathrooms and two with a common
bathroom. There is an additional cabin forward with four single berths,
bathroom, video, and stereo. This cabin can be a haven for the kids
when adults want the peace and quite of the main salon. Wanderlust has
a large dining salon and can seat up to 14 for dinner while an additional
7 can dine at the aft deck table. Wanderlust is also fully air conditioned
with each area of the yacht independently cooled; meaning everyone on
board can have their cabin at the temperature they prefer.
Audio/Video:
The Latest Top of the Line Systems:
Wanderlust has a very versatile audio/visual system. We have a 27’
Sony flat screen TV with DVD, VHS, 8mm, and Nintendo. Our movie library
has over 250 titles, which can be enjoyed in full surround sound. We
have three independent sound systems on board. One for the salon, one
for the aft deck, and one for the foredeck. Now the kids and adults
can both listen to what they want! We also have desktop computer with
full time email and Internet capabilities. Photo printers, scanners,
and fax machines are also on board for your convenience.
Beach BBQ:
Wanderlust also offers a unique beach BBQ. We set up a full beach “oasis”
with umbrellas, chairs, and beach volleyball. After a day playing on
the beach, we have a sunset barbeque set amongst the picturesque boulders
of the Baths. After dinner it is time to dance under the stars and practice
your limbo. This is an example of another option offered aboard Wanderlust
due to our large crew and the space available to carry the necessary
equipment.
Cuisine:
Few people are prepared for the eating experience aboard Wanderlust.
We pride ourselves on the quality of our professionally trained chefs
and the meals they create. Our guests always comment on it and you can
read some of their thoughts in the testimonials page.
Specialized Charters:
Wanderlust also offers specialized charters. We offer “corporate
retreat charters”. Our spacious salon is perfect for morning meetings
and presentations, always in a picturesque location. The rest of the
day can be spent diving, sailing, or just relaxing. A Wanderlust Yacht
Vacation can also be an excellent team building experience. Wanderlust
therefore offers “team building charters”. Observing
the fine operation of a large yacht at the hands of six crew is the
epitome of teamwork. Everyone needs to work together, help each other,
and communicate. On these charters we strive to get the guests involved
in the operation of the yacht in order to show, as well as discuss,
the importance of teamwork.
As you can see, after over 25 years of chartering the British Virgin
Islands, Wanderlust has evolved into the perfect charter yacht. We offer
you the service, amenities, and activities that will make your Wanderlust
Yacht Vacation a truly memorable experience. We would love to have you
on board so you can see for yourself.
