When we say all inclusive we mean all inclusive!









It’s not a resort. It’s not a cruise ship. Nor is it just a sailing vacation. It’s a personalized adventure where you get to act like children while being treated like royalty. And it’s all for one all inclusive rate! At Wanderlust Yacht Vacations “all inclusive” really means all inclusive. The charter fee on your contract covers everything that you will need to enjoy one of the best vacation experiences you will ever have. All you need to bring is a swimsuit; we’ve got the rest covered. Everything on board is at your disposal; and that includes a well trained and attentive crew with over forty years combined sailing experience. That means your own personal chef, a licensed SCUBA instructor, and not to mention one of the most experienced captains in the business. You can get SCUBA certified with your own personal instructor! No booking dive tours in advance. You will receive personal, private instruction without groups of strangers. We also boast a wide array of water sports equipment, including wake boards, water skis, tubes of all kinds, Hobie cat sailing, windsurfing, etc. The menu aboard Wanderlust is tailored to your specifications/preferences by our award winning chef. Everything from the pastries in the morning to the mouthwatering entrees and delectable desserts in the evenings is prepared on board in our state-of-the-art galley. “All inclusive” also means privacy! With the mobility to sail anywhere you have a choice of secluded anchorages and empty beaches throughout the BVI to choose from. That is something you will be hard pressed to find in any “all inclusive” resort or cruise line.

A charter yacht vacation or a crusie liner

We had a beautiful charter last week here in the British Virgin Islands. We were sailing down the BVI's Sir Francis Drake Channel and our guests were relaxing on the deck taking in the Caribbean sun when the eclipse began. At least we thought it was an eclipse. The 962ft long cruise ship, Freedom of the Sea was blocking the sun’s rays as the behemoth made its way from Road Harbor. There were about 600 people looking down at us from the Royal Caribbean Cruise ship many decks waving and taking photos. It’s must be quite an extreme comparison to see our 64ft yacht with 14 persons on board (including crew) next to this giant ocean liner.
