Patty Martin and Tom Rowe, the two primary charter brokers at NYM, both have a wealth of knowledge about luxury charter yachts and the places they visit. Patty left her home in the UK in her early 20's and learned the charter business from the ground up, first as a deckhand, and finally as a chef aboard luxury yachts. Charter Wave quotes Tom was lucky enough to have traveled extensively, working in the travel industry right out of college. In 1985 he joined the team at NYM and since then has been actively engaged in the yacht charter industry. Together, Patty and Tom recently founded Fine Yachts, the 'go to' hotspot for researching luxury yacht charters online.
They can help you determine how you spend your time with your family and friends. Will it be discovering sandy beaches in distant coves or a tropical waterfall in a secluded palm grove? With a luxury yacht, you are not locked into one location. Do you savor shopping in local markets or viewing historic antiquities? Check the weather in the morning and decide with the help of your Captain what activity to pursue. Luxuriate in a hammock with a good book; go shelling on the beach, snorkeling in crystal clear waters, water ski, scuba, hike or drive ashore exploring local environs. So many choices! Together Patty and Tom have the kind of knowledge that can help you put together the vacation of a lifetime experience.
Luxury charter yachts really are available in most parts of the world and they represent a superb way to experience an area. The Caribbean still stands out as one of the most popular destinations and for good reason. It has predictably good weather, warm, crystal clear waters and an abundance of tropical islands within easy reach of the East Coast of North America. During the summer months the primary focus shifts to New England or the Mediterranean. For the more adventurous, how does the Pacific Northwest or Southeast Alaska sound? The South Pacific always beckons with such exotic destinations as Tahiti or New Zealand, both of which are very popular, with interesting harbors, a fascinating culture and the most unusual flora and fauna. Wherever you decide to go, the warmth of the local people will always make your visit memorable.
