What can be more romantic than relaxing on the bow of your own private yacht, whilst basking in Caribbean sunshine and gliding through turquoise-blue water?  With no fixed schedules, no phones, no email, no ties, no jackets, no formality and, if you wish, no shoes, a holiday aboard your very own private yacht is the height of hedonism and perfect for those looking for Valentine’s or honeymoon inspiration.

 

Miramar Sailing, Antigua’s premier sailing holidays operator, offer chic and affordable yacht charter holidays aboard its professionally skippered, private 40ft yacht.  Ideally suited to couples looking for complete privacy, and a whole lot better than a “Do Not Disturb” sign, a private yachting holiday provides absolute seclusion with the ability to change location at the drop of a hat. 

 

Waking up to a romantic sunrise or sunbathing on the deck whilst dolphins swim next to the yacht, guests will enjoy the very special feeling that they are truly alone with no one in the whole world knowing where they are – nor can they possibly be reached unless they choose to.

 

With no set programme or itinerary, guests are encouraged to treat the Miramar as their very own private yacht.  For example, guests can choose to spending the morning visiting secluded coves, or stop for lunch at one of the most luxurious marinas in the world, before anchoring in a picturesque bay and enjoying a moonlit dinner – alternatively they can simply sail around the coast and enjoy the sunshine.

 

Comments Brian and Pippa, founders of Miramar Sailing: “A couple of weeks ago we hosted a young couple on a cruise around Antigua’s South Coast; taking in Falmouth Harbour and Nelson’s Dockyard at English Harbour.  Their holiday ended with a sunset trip to Shirley Heights.  With a backdrop of both harbours and spectacular views across to the islands of Montserrat and Guadeloupe in the distance, the gentleman surprised his girlfriend by getting down on one knee, just as the sun hit the water, and asking her to marry him.  It was a truly romantic moment.” 

 

With tailor-made departures and itineraries, a seven-night yacht charter holiday costs from just £2,120 pp.  Price is based on two sharing and includes seven nights’ skippered yacht accommodation (most meals included).  Flights extra.
