TradeWinds Guest Guide

Welcome aboard!

Whether it’s your first time or you’re a seasoned seafarer, we’re delighted to have you aboard for a journey full of truly unforgettable people, places, and experiences.

In the last two decades, we’ve shared the magic of our planet’s most precious and plentiful natural resource with more than 60,000 guests. Our goal has always been to create an unmatched luxury experience that leaves a lasting impression on our guests without leaving a lasting impact on the oceans. And we’ve truly done all that we can to ensure that this remains true.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that every single decision we make as a company is made with the care and conservation of our stunning waters in mind – from the elimination of plastics to the use of non-toxic, marine-safe products and far, far, beyond. And as such, we’d like to encourage our guests to be an extension of that philosophy by being mindful of what and how you consume while spending time on and, especially in, the ocean. Because we believe that the ocean is kind to us in part because we do our best to return the favour.

But, of course, you are the reason that we do any and all of this. And to make sure that your stay is as fun, safe, and fulfilling as possible, we’ve put together a brief guest guide for you to read through covering everything you need to know about making the best of your stay with us. Please take a read while you settle into your cabin. And then sit back, relax, and let us take it from here.

Welcome to your cabin – your personal space to relax and unwind for the duration of your cruise.

We want to make your stay as comfortable as possible and although there is limited space aboard the yacht, we’re sure that you won’t be disappointed.

All of our cabins come with ample space for your belongings and each has been fitted with quality mattresses to ensure that you get a good night’s rest!

We’ve put together some handy hints so you can enjoy your cabin and ensure that you get the most out of your stay with us.

Your overhead opening hatch will allow fresh air to get into the cabin and there’s nothing better than the fresh sea air, so keep it open when needed. We do ask our guests to ensure that hatches are closed when the yacht is underway. 

We understand that sometimes it can get hot, so please help us to conserve the power used when the air conditioning is on, by ensuring that the hatches are closed.

Fans and lights

Please remember to switch off fans and lights both in your cabin and bathroom whenever they are not needed.

Port lights

Should opening port lights be fitted on your yacht, please ensure that these are closed daily before we set sail to prevent water coming into your cabin. We might be at sea, but we want to keep you dry unless you’re going for a swim!

Power points

Our AC power onboard is 220 V or 110 V depending on your yacht. Please speak to our friendly crew should you wish to use electrical devices.

Fresh water

Although we’re sailing on a vast expanse of water, we kindly ask you to sensibly conserve fresh water onboard at all times.

Onboard toilets

Marine toilets are different from those in your home and require thoughtful use. Please operate them as instructed by your crew. The toilets only accept human waste and a conservative amount of toilet paper. Please do not put beauty wipes, cotton wool, floss, napkins, or any other personal toiletry items into the toilet – trust us, it won’t be pleasant!

If you have any questions about your cabin, then don’t hesitate to speak to your crew, who will be happy to help

Your Safety on board

Your safety is of the utmost importance to us and we want to make sure that you enjoy every moment of your vacation!

Keep hydrated – reach for the H 2 O

It’s easy to get dehydrated when you’re enjoying the heat of the sun. While at sea, your body needs more water than usual, so remember to drink plenty of water regularly. As part of our Plastic Pledge, instead of single-use plastic bottled water, we opt to use reusable water bottles on board. We’ll provide you with refillable water bottles which you can use throughout your vacation – so you remain hydrated and refreshed while having lots of fun in the sun!

Stay safe in the sun

• Whether you want to top up your tan or just want to enjoy a warmer climate, don’t let the sun ruin your time onboard. Be sun smart and follow these useful tips: Slip – Slop – Slap! Slip on a swim shirt! Slop on some reef- safe sunscreen! Slap on a hat!
• Don’t forget to protect the tops of your feet, the back of your neck and behind your knees – in fact, anywhere that doesn’t see the sun much. Re-apply your sun lotion often and as soon as you get back on the boat or go onshore!
• Where are your sunglasses? Remember to wear them!

Enjoy the sea

• Only enter the water when the motors are off and your Captain has given the “OK!”.
• Your crew will let you know of any adverse conditions before you enter the water.
• All our yachts supply swim noodles, these are great floating devices and keep you easily visible for your crew and other boaters.
• Ask your crew the depth of the water before deciding to dive from the yacht.
• Your crew will always be happy to run you ashore and closer to snorkeling sites.
• When planning to swim or snorkel always let your Captain know where you plan to go.
• If you’re not a strong swimmer, then please tell your crew.

Enjoy an all-inclusive vacation with TradeWinds

TradeWinds Air-Conditioning policy

Many of our guests want air conditioning on our cruises. Whilst this is understandable, we also cruise in some of the most precious, unpolluted waters in the world and as a company, we have a responsibility to protect this for both our guests and the next generation.

We believe we have found a good balance between minimizing environmental impact, and giving you a level of comfort aboard.

We encourage you to open hatches and feel the breeze. It’s that very breeze that allows us to sail in the first place!

Aboard our Cruising and Luxury Class

• Air-conditioning is run on the dock when on charter.
• Running of air conditioning will depend on the size of the generator and usage of the battery charger and water maker.
• Air-conditioning can be turned on in the evening whilst guests prepare for dinner (around 5 p.m. – 7 p.m.).
• If necessary air conditioning can be turned on through the night until 7 a.m. from when the first guest goes to bed.

Aboard our Flagship Class

Jacques Cousteau

The TradeWinds concept began in the mid 1990s with a dream of cruising stunning turquoise waters, of scuba diving and exploring breathtaking coral reefs and watching the sun set over secluded islands.

More than twenty years later, our dream has become a reality, and we’re incredibly privileged to spend our days cruising across seas and oceans. Taking our Members and guests to fantastic destinations across the world. Discovering deserted beaches, beautiful atolls, and secluded cays. Diving into the unknown to explore a mesmerizing underwater world that only a few get to truly experience.

In reality, the sad truth is that our oceans and their ecosystems are being destroyed, by man. It’s a bold statement and one that is often hard to swallow. But it’s not too late and we still have a chance to play our part in making sure that we take responsibility for our actions.

At TradeWinds, we take our part caring for the environment incredibly seriously. In fact, we train all our base staff and yacht crews around the globe to live and charter green, and we encourage our guests to do the same. Over the course of your stay, you’ll experience first-hand how our dedicated crew ensures that we practice what we preach. Living green is easy, the hard part is educating people to become eco-friendlier!

Our yacht building partners, Fountaine Pajot, who custom built our range of luxury catamarans exclusively for TradeWinds are also committed to preserving the environment, crafting yachts innovated for green cruising.

As an environmentally conscious company, our base staff and crews do their part in helping to protect the environment and its these small steps that over time can, and will make a big difference.

And as testament to our successful ‘green living’ agenda, we’re proud to have been awarded the Charter Yacht Broker Association’s Save the Blue Challenge award in both Antigua and the British Virgin Islands.

Our responsibility to the environment

The ocean covers more than 70 % of the surface of the planet and makes up approximately 97 % of the earth’s water supply. However, the sad truth is that harmful pollutants are destroying our precious marine environment both above and below the surface. This fact alone is just one of the reasons why we’re so passionate about looking after the stunning waters that we are privileged to spend our days cruising. From the plastic debris that pollutes oceans and pristine beaches, to harmful toxins found in sunscreen that poisons coral reefs, it’s up to us to help save this incredible ecosystem.

It’s our responsibility to protect and preserve our environment both onshore and at sea, not only for this generation but for future generations too. Which is why at TradeWinds we believe that the only thing we should leave behind is just our footprints in the sand!

At TradeWinds we are environmentally conscious

We continuously strive for a greener planet. This takes effort, interest and commitment. As such, we hope that you will assist us, the environment, and our planet, by supporting this worthwhile effort.

From training our base staff and yacht crews to live and charter green, to collaborating with yacht builders who share our passion to be environmentally friendly, we strive to live by our promise to look after and respect our environment.

As an environmentally conscious company, we do our best to take care of the waters we sail in whilst maintaining our fleet of yachts at each of our bases. We ensure our crews have access to everything they need to provide our guests with a superior yachting experience, making as little impact on the environment as possible.

Our responsibility (continued)

Maintaining our yachts.

Our dedicated crews maintain our yachts using a range of eco-friendly and non-toxic cleaning products. Vinegar, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, biodegradable soap (without parabens and sulphates) and essential oils are used to clean galleys, cabins, heads, surfaces, as well as linen and towels. We ensure that non-toxic products are used onboard at all times. In the event of any unwanted bugs, areas are treated with Diatomaceous Earth and Borax which are both non-toxic and eco-friendly.

Using a high concentration of toxic chemicals has an enormously damaging effect on our oceans and so we work closely with our base managers and yacht crews to provide them with the training and equipment to maintain our fleet of yachts using eco-friendly practices.

Eco-friendly onboard

We use some solar power but it’s still important for guests to remember to turn off fans and lights when they’re not in use. We manage our systems so fuel is used to its optimum, ensuring that marine conservation is always on our mind.

Air conditioning on our boats is supplied for our guest’s comfort, however, please be aware that we still need to limit its use. If you decide that air conditioning is not required to cool your cabin, make your captain aware, to avoid running the generator all night.

We ensure that all our menus are planned in advance, using the freshest produce available to ensure minimum food waste whilst onboard. Reusable food containers are used instead of plastic wrap and aluminum foil.

To help reduce the amount of plastic that sadly makes its way into our oceans each year, we don’t purchase plastic bottles to use onboard our yachts. We shop consciously and instead choose eco-friendly and recyclable materials, such as reusable bottles and containers.

Our guests have access to freshly filtered water onboard and reusable bottles that they can take with them onshore.

Many of our guests love our onboard activities, such as fishing. However, extreme overfishing in certain destinations, such as the British Virgin Islands has meant that we have made the conscious decision to no longer offer it to our guests onboard as an activity. As Jacques Cousteau once said, “The best way to observe a fish, is to become a fish”, and we couldn’t agree more!

Sylvia Earle, Oceanographer

Our responsibility (continued 2)

‘going green’ with our guests.

We advise our guests to be aware of the types of products that they bring on board with them. Environmentally friendly and all-natural products are better for you and they’re also better for our oceans and marine life. Choosing a reef-safe sunscreen and non-toxic products is a great way to help preserve the delicate reef ecosystems. To help repel mosquitos, we have an eco-friendly insect repellent and an all-natural sting relief available onboard, just ask your crew!

TradeWinds are dedicated to providing a first class service to our guests, without compromising our environmental promise. Let’s work together and help to preserve our sailing destinations for everyone to enjoy.

Reef-safe Sunscreen

Did you know that using non-eco-friendly sunscreen and personal care products can induce coral bleaching and cause irreparable damage to the marine ecosystem? Sadly, many lotions and potions that we use contain toxic chemicals that are poisoning our oceans and fragile reefs. The main culprit is regular sunscreen which can wash off once you enter the water leading harmful chemicals to seep into the corals. And it is these chemicals that poison the ecosystem relied on by marine flora and fauna, including algae, fish, urchins, mussels, and dolphins, to name a few.

The good news is that reef-safe sunscreens are widely available, making it easier than ever to stay safe in the sun while looking after the environment. Here are our top tips:

• Check the ingredients before you buy! Avoid sunscreens that contain oxybenzone and octinoxate as these are two of the most harmful chemicals that are responsible for coral bleaching and DNA deformities.
• What SHOULD be on the reef-safe sunscreen label? Look out for ingredients like Zinc Oxide, Titanium Oxide and make sure your product is Non-nano, Paraben-free, Biodegradable, Cruelty-free, and Non-GMO.
• Use shade or cover up! We hate sunburn, so when the sun is at its hottest, grab a hat, sunglasses, and T-shirt. Or step on board your luxury catamaran for some shade and protect yourself from the harmful rays!

Your guide to marine conservation

According to the Plastic Oceans Foundation, a global network of independent not for profit organizations and charities, more than 8 million tons of plastics are dumped into our oceans every year. Studies have shown that it will take approximately 450 years for plastic to degrade in water!

We want our guests to help us start a movement to ensure that we continue to respect and care for our marine life and oceans. Humans cause the greatest threat to the deterioration of coral reefs, but we can also help to educate and encourage better marine practices.

When you book a luxury vacation with TradeWinds, you get to experience the natural beauty of our surroundings, both above and below the water. The marine environment is a delicate ecosystem, that’s why we encourage our guests to remember the following:

• Don’t touch – look and appreciate. Some coral will die at just one touch and some sea critters, although they might look harmless will sting you!
• Don’t take anything – leave those lovely shells behind.
• Don’t stand on reefs – you will kill hundreds of years of growth and possibly cut your feet on the sharp coral – and trust us, there’s nothing more painful!
• And remember, while visiting Marine Parks all fishing is strictly prohibited.

Get involved in marine conservation

Even when your vacation has come to an end and you’re back on dry land, there are plenty of ways to care about conserving marine life, from the comfort of your own home. What we do on land, often has an impact off shore too.

Follow these simple steps at home and you can help to preserve our precious oceans:

• Buy reusable water bottles and food containers
• Don’t buy products that have been made using coral or other delicate marine life
• Use environmentally friendly cleaning and personal products – check out our eco-friendly recipes
• Choose sustainable seafood sources
• Take part in local beach clean-up programs
• Use all-natural and eco-friendly hair and skin-care products

To help protect our marine environment, we need to become conscious of our own actions. Sometimes we overlook the small things like buying a plastic bottle of water from the store, because it doesn’t ‘affect’ us in our everyday lives. However, we all need water to live and our seas, oceans and marine life need our help to survive too.

Together we can help the environment by becoming ‘water wise’ and being eco-friendlier at home!

I am curious what the cost per cruise ends up being after paying the upfront purchase costs, maintenance fees and all inclusive fees.  

I'm a TW member and I highly recommend giving it a try. Members are obligated to pay one "unlocking" fee each year even if you don't sail. There are also some intermediary time deadlines on your purchased points; you can't leave all the points until the last year of the contract. We have had some great vacations through TW.  

TUG Review Crew: Elite

It is a club which is more like a RTU than a deeded week. So the reason you "unlock" is you have paid the equivalent of a MF. Now since this is NOT a week a year type of deal, then you can pay 2 MFs in a year and unlock 2 weeks to use in that year. You will have to still pay a MF per year until your payments are completed, but either you accelerate that schedule, you use as you pay, or you pay and then you use in the future before your membership is up. There was an older club call TW Cruise Club, that was the original club and was cheaper to purchase into, most of those memberships have already or are very shortly coming up against those 12 years. A few were allowed to convert to the new club TW Experience, if they bought a bunch more points, then some deals might have been struck. My original TWCC expired in 2016. My TWE currently expires in 2024. If I purchased additional time those NEW points purchased would expire at a later date. I have purchased TWCC twice and TWE twice now. Although most purchases were for 12 years, some were for 6 years if you bought a small points package. Season is pretty typical and this is for the Caribbean basin, all other areas DO NOT have seasons. Some bases DO NOT Operate year round they relocate boats farther south to avoid hurricane season or colder temperatures (Mediterranean). Some bases have been tried and closed, like Turks & Caicos, Red Sea, Panama Las Perlas, and Turkey. Either because of demand, weather, or political climate. I don't think that is all the current bases nor all of the boats in those bases that is on your list. Fiji and French Poly are not listed. Fiji has both Cruising and Luxury and French Poly has only luxury, but that could change in the future, as they shuffle boats and bases around. High season is all of Jan through Apr. May, June and July are Mid season, Aug to Oct are low season. Nov and Dec are back to mid except for holiday weeks (Thanksgiving and Christmas and NYE weeks) which are high season. All other bases outside of the caribbean are HIGH season year round. There is one exception in that the Luxury 60 are a slightly higher points (25K) than the luxury you listed. That point value is for the Luxury 59 yachts we have.  

TUG Review Crew: Veteran

We didn't join, we essentially did an "encore" deal. It wasn't the best financial move that I've ever made but there was a slight language barrier between us and the captain which caused a small misunderstanding of the deal. It's water under the bridge but I wouldn't bother buying any points in that manner, fyi. The least expensive way to use Tradewinds is definitely with an RCI rental, next would probably be an RCI exchange. Tradewinds has a 1 in 4 rule with RCI. If you dive (we don't) and love sailing (we do) I think that owning would be the way to go. I haven't spent a lot of time investigating ownership as going every other year would probably be enough for us - so one RCI exchange and then one rental from an owner. One of the factors that gives me pause is the travel time to a lot of the locations. Some of them are pretty complicated to travel to, and hence pretty pricey. It just is what it is, but I am getting less flexible about how much time I want to spend "just getting there". There is a very active Facebook group and renting is my plan for the future, although we haven't done it yet. Our BVI trip in May was (of course) rescheduled for late 2021 and we will be able to use RCI again in 2022, so we will do nothing differently for the next few years. As far as trips go, even though it is expensive compared to a regular timeshare trip, our trip was about the most fun that we have ever had. We are still in touch with a couple of folks from our sailing, and we are going with one of the couples on our rescheduled BVI trip, covid willing. We can't wait to get back on a boat.  

• Dec 20, 2020

Good morning All, Continuing to add some of the information I have learned (thx TUGgers!). As before, please clarify if I am incorrect. Scuba diving is permitted on TradeWinds, but they may not have a dive master for your charter. RCI Exchangers are prevented from scuba diving however, and I believe only Tradewinds club members (or their guests can dive). Equipment is available for your use, but in the COVID world, you now need to provide your own regulator. Air conditioning is also an important factor on certain classes of the boats, and members often discuss which yachts have (or don't have AC). I believe Luxury and Flagship all have AC, and Cruising Class is hit-or-miss, and even if it is present, it is Captain's discretion on whether or not to run the AC. There is a very thin/non-existent resale market for PlusPoints. I believe you can purchase/transfer another member's points into your name, however there is a transfer fee associated with the resale ($2,000?) which I suspect depresses the resale value. Additionally, TradeWinds will not combine your accounts, so if you are already a member, you may end up with two accounts and when booking a reservation, I understand it needs to come entirely from one of the two accounts, so points management is important. Some members have reported buying more PlusPoints under the expectation that it will extend the expiration date on their original contract, but the original contract was unchanged, so be alert to this. I understand the more common way than buying resale is for an existing member to make a reservation for you and they arrange a private transaction for the value of the PlusPoints utilized. As an example, a TradeWinds member might reserve a 100K reservation in BVI for me, and we agree on a reservation value (I have seen $1,200 - $1,500 as a hypothetical range for 100K PlusPoints). The TradeWinds member paid $815 to unlock those 100K points, so there is a modest premium over fees for that reservation. And then the Guest (me) needs to pay the All-Inclusive fee for the reservation, at the members rate of $[1,075] per person, This also helps the existing Club Member if they have points that may expire before they can be personally utilized. Finally, I see a pattern where a Club Member reserves an entire boat (typically 5 cabins) even though they do not have occupants for all cabins. Then they post the availability of excess cabins and fill the boat with other parties. I see members of the Facebook page traveling together and collaborating on occupying a boat, especially if it is a desirable/rare reservation. I have also learned that there is reasonable availability via RCI (even with modestly priced GetAways) perhaps because RCI members are reluctant to embrace the All-Inclusive Fee. But do recall the 1-in-4, and klpca has a pattern of renting from a member EOY and then using RCI in 1-in-4 to be able to cruise every other year. It is not clear to me what the policy is regarding children -- RCI indicates it's adults only, defined as 21 or older. I believe children (or anyone under 21?) are only allowed on whole boat charters, but not sure. I hope this is helpful to others, thx especially to those TradeWinds members who have PM'd me or commented above, please do continue to add any comments or observations about this very unique timeshare program. Thank you! Best, Greg

All, This is the cancelation/rescheduling policy for TradeWinds: For Our TradeWinds Cruise Club Elite and Platinum Members, rescheduling is free. For all other TradeWinds Cruise Club, there has always been a rescheduling fee of $100 USD. TradeWinds Experience Members have free rescheduling. In all cases, rescheduling is not possible less than 90 days prior to embarkation date. A rescheduled cabin will incur loss of Plus Points and associated Maintenance contribution if cancelled/rescheduled, regardless of whether in or outside of the 90 day cancellation period. (GT Note: I think you get your All-Inclusive Fee refunded) You can cancel a reservation at no cost, up to 12 months before the embarkation date. For cancellations within a 12- to 6-months period prior to embarkation date, there will be a US$100 cancellation fee payable. For cancellations within a 6- to 3-months period prior to embarkation date, there will be a US$250 cancellation fee payable. No cancellations are allowed after 90 days prior to embarkation date, and to do so will incur loss of all associated Maintenance Contributions and Plus Points used for the booking. GT Notes: Not sure what TWCC Elite and Platinum are, but since this is the old program, I don't think it matters. Also, I currently understand the booking window now is open for 2021 and 2022, and 2023 is expected to open "soon". Best, Greg  

Children No children under 16 are allowed UNLESS the cruise is considered a Family Cruise and is designated that by TW. There are a handful designated that way, but it is not widespread. However you can book a whole boat then you are allowed to do want you want. That is most often the way you see younger kids onboard. I have booked the whole boat before to take my entire family, youngest was 10 at the time. So my guess was the toddler was on a whole yacht booking. Late Breaks Members are allowed to book late break cabins. These require only a payment of AI fee and a MF of the point usage but NO points are used. These late breaks are anything that is considered open 45 days prior to sail date. In my old TWCC membership I used 9 of these late breaks. It allows you to bring down your $ per point if you can pick up and use late breaks. I did go on one late break, then there was a cancellation for the following week, so I changed my flight and stayed on another boat at the same base for another week. As a member, you must have at least 100,000 points and time remaining on your membership to use a late break. SCUBA Diving RCI Inbounds can pay a fee for scuba diving it is just NOT included in your AI fees, last I checked it was $75 but it could have gone up. If you are a member and you are at a base that diving is allowed it is INCLUDED in the AI. You are guaranteed 3 dives unless there are circumstances that prohibit it. (There are bases with EXCEPTIONS where they are current restrictions like French Territories (French Poly, St Barts, SXM), Anguilla and locations with a protected area that require you to pay additional fees (Tobago Cays in SVG and Jacque Cousteau park in Guad. ). If you take the whole boat you may be able to arrange some additional dives as you have more control over the itinerary of the charter, but that is up to you and the captain to ascertain.  

Rascalsmom said: Hi Sandy. You're the TW expert! I think our first TW trip was a full boat we rented from you. We've bought two 1.2M contracts since then. I wanted to comment on your statement "My TWE currently expires in 2024. If I purchased additional time those points would expire at a later date. " Click to expand...

This is the NON member site that has info on bases and what the price per trip is if you are NOT a member and are not trading in. People can just book a week through this or via a broker who rent out weeks for TW. https://www.trade-winds.com/ The members site is a little different, but the inventory is the same on both the member site and the site listed above AFAIK. At least on that site you can see yacht and bases. They have videos and a lot of info related to the TW onboard experience.  

Sorry, I “missed the boat” on this discussion, but you have been offered a ton of correct information. We are TWE members. Our contract expires in 2023. While we LOVE our Tradewinds charters, we won’t be buying more points. My sister in law and I share our contract. She did buy another contract, but they are younger than us. There is a Facebook page called Tradewinds Cruise Club Cruisers that you can request to join. There folks sell cabins, as described above. We bought two cabins a few cruises ago to extend our membership. It worked out great. I know that I can buy a trip there when we want to go again. The bummer about doing an RCI trade is that you will usually be placed on a Cruise Class boat. You might be lucky if there is an unsold luxury cabin they need to fill. But, typically you will be Cruise Class. We prefer the 60 foot Luxury boat over all the others, although we have not yet seen the brand new TW7. Tradewinds is weathering the Covid mess and they have been supportive with a couple of cancellations we had to make in May 2020 and February 2021 due to Covid. They are not letting us extended our contract, so we have to be sure to get all of our points used up by 2023. Tradewinds is a great company and we can’t wait for our July 2021 cruise coming up. Hoping for the vaccine by then!  

Sandy VDH said: I wanted to clarify that the additional points purchased would have a NEW expiration date, the expiration date for the points already purchased does NOT change. @Rascalsmom and I both enjoy are TW trips. They are my most relaxing vacations ever. Click to expand...

Hello TUGgers, TradeWinds remains an interesting club and I am trying to continue to learn more. Can TUGgers ( @Sandy VDH ?)who have been on the different classes of boats (Cruising/Luxury/Flagship) comment on if the extra points are "worth it"? I'm trying to buy a modest package of points as a "starter package" from an existing owner and will report back on the process. Just curious how people feel about the 52' catamarans (Cruising) versus the 59'/60' Cats (Luxury). Thank you! Best, Greg

Greg, We do not cruise on Cruise Class. Our first RCI cruise was on a cruise class and it was one of their original boats - Coral Dreams. Many issues, a wet head being a big one, but we had such a great time that we bought in. We also bought from a second party = cheaper. The luxury boats are perfect! We much prefer the 60 foot for high season 150K PP vs the 59 foot 125K PP boat. The difference is that the flybridge on the 60 foot is huge - very much like the Victoria edition Flagship boats. I don’t think you need to take a Flagship. We have and it is great, but for the extra All Inclusive price we are very happy with a 60 foot luxury. Have you ever done a referral? It is a very good price and you could try it out and extend your membership. I wonder if you completed your deal and bought in, if you could do a referral before your first “owner sail”? You can only do a referral once. Tradewinds is such a wonderful experience. I just today booked our airfare for a July Flagship Antigua trip (mid season-cheap price). We had two trips cancelled due to COVID. Good luck and keep asking questions.

Greg, I forgot to include one detail about the 52 foot Cruise Class boats. They are pretty nice. They are kind of like a mini 59 foot Luxury boat, except they don’t always provide AC, as noted above. When they first came out, we thought they would be great, since the points are less to book them. Then we toured one at the dock. While nice, there is one cabin that is very small with the bed against one wall. We decided not to ever sail CC in case we were the unlucky recipient of that cabin. If that would not be a problem for you, then CC might work for you.

I’ve only sailed with Tradewinds on the ‘59 Luxury catamarans. The captain has turned on the AC before dinner for an hour or two to make it comfortable to get ready in your cabin. And the captain has also ran the AC at bedtime through the night until about 6 am.  

There are a few boats that offer a owners cabin, these are in every class, however they are not on every yacht, obviously. These owner cabins are usually the 2 smaller cabins combined into 1 larger cabin. In most cases they are the mid and rear cabin on the port side. that are combined into a single cabin. So it does get rid of the smaller or less desirable cabin. The crew's cabin is usually the mid ship cabin on the starboard side. When you book these on TW website they show up a Premium cabins.

Trip of a lifetime about Tradewinds luxury catamaran

What a fantastic week! Three couples who have been friends for years joined us for an epic sail around the British Virgin Islands. Captain Paul and first mate/chef Renette were extraordinary and looked after every little detail to make us comfortable, pampered and extremely well-fed on the seven day trip. We were spoiled by delicious food, snacks and "captain's cocktails" every day, in addition to sailing, snorkeling, diving, and excursions to various islands. Can't say enough good things about this trip. If the opportunity comes up to sail with Tradewinds in the BVIs, take it! ”

Sovcomflot orders tanker as its waits on Moscow's IPO call

Nikolay Kolesnikov says shipping and IPO markets are "not perfect' for privatization.

Russian shipowner Sovcomflot has ordered a fourth shuttle tanker for the Novy Port project at a time when its on-off initial public offering remains in the balance.

It took delivery of the first three 42,000-dwt ships from Samsung Heavy Industries last year and has now added an extra unit, which will be rolled out in October 2019.

Nikolay Kolesnikov, chief financial officer of Sovcomflot, tells TradeWinds, the additional newbuilding has been booked to meet the requirements of Gazprom Neft.
