How to Book YACHT STARFISH:

For calendar availability and for current rates, please click here the coral button below.

**The calendar linked to our website is one that is used by industry professionals and it is often not easy to understand. Sometimes guests contact me and say, “So are you fully booked?”
While we are fortunate to be a very busy charter yacht, we open our calendar for a couple years in the future, so there is bound to be an open spot for you.

In the default view for Availability, the GREEN entries show booked charters, the RED entries show “Holds”, and BLACK entries are when we are “Unavailable.” . ALL of our time for the next couple of charter seasons is “open” for charter UNLESS there is a green, red or black entry for a particular dates.

If you scroll to the bottom of the Text calendar and click on “Graphical” you will get a different calendar view. The white blocks are “open and available” dates (reading down is the month, and across are the days of the month.) That makes it a bit easier to see at a glance where we have openings on the calendar.

Still confused by the calendar? Please contact a charter yacht broker and they can quickly tell you when we have dates open for charter.

PLEASE NOTE:
ALL bookings must be completed through a charter yacht broker. This calendar and our rates are provided here as a planning tool. However, your BEST planning tool is a professional charter yacht broker.

Even if all you need is some initial information about chartering and our schedule, your best bet is to click the coral next in the right hand column on this page to find a list of brokers who have had clients aboard STARFISH in the past.

How to find a Charter Yacht Broker:

You are absolutely able to use the broker of your choice. You can always Google to find one.

But we have provided a list of Charter Yacht Brokers who have had clients aboard YACHT STARFISH and who can share what their clients had to say, give direct feedback on the reputation YACHT STARFISH and Capt. Sam and Chef Jen enjoy in the charter industry, and help you with all aspects of your charter vacation.

You may also review a list of professional Charter Yacht Brokers on the Virgin Islands Professional Charter Yacht Association’s website (https://VIPCA.org/book-a-charter). These are brokers who travel each November to St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands to attend the VIPCA Charter Yacht Show. They are brokers who inspect the yachts, meet the crew, and who would be well aware of the reputation that Yacht Starfish and her Crew hold in the charter industry.

Why should you use a Charter Yacht Broker?

YACHT STARFISH utilizes the professional services of CHARTER YACHT BROKERS to provide valuable services to prospective guests — all at NO ADDITIONAL COST TO YOU.

Brokers are friendly charter experts with answers to all of your questions regarding what is involved in booking a yacht, what is the best yacht choice for them (they are expert “matchmakers” — matching guests to the right yacht and crew), and then assisting with the booking details. and generally taking care of other pre-charter related matters —- allowing the crew to focus on their onboard guests. Also, very importantly, brokers ensure that your funds are safely escrowed until shortly before your charter to give you financial peace of mind.

You should think of your Charter Yacht Broker as your Personal Charter Concierge. It costs you nothing extra and contacting a broker to talk about chartering a yacht does not impose upon you any obligation whatsoever. So, please, do not be shy. Brokers are there as a resource for you. They understand the questions that first-time yacht charterers, as well as repeat charterers, may have and would love to talk with you. Many of them started out years ago as crew on yachts, moved into brokering, and thus they truly know about charter yacht vacations from the inside out.

YACHT STARFISH and her crew are confident of their position in the industry. They are not “newbies” to the yachting world — they have been providing professional, reputable, unforgettable, “wow factor” charters since 2014!

Never underestimate what mature professional experience brings to the Hospitality and Guest Service table!
