Pacific Wave is very grateful to Karen and the team at Nicholson’s of Newport for their support over the last three years.

We have no doubt that Dick at Charterport BVI will continue to grow our business and support you with any potential charter that you have for Pacific Wave.

Hi,

While the US and Europe still battle through a hard winter, Pacific Wave her guests and crew have been enjoying perfect weather for sailing vacations.

Here in the BVI, away from the high winds and big swells seen further south in the Caribbean at the moment, we have been sailing in protected waters to calm anchorages under bright blue skies.

It’s just one of the reasons why Pacific Wave will stay in the BVI until the end of July.

To encourage your clients to come and share this with us we would like to make you aware of the following BVI special offers:

Price reduction – we are continuing our $1,500 a week discount until the end of July 2011

Diving – we are an enthusiastic dive boat! For 7 night charters in the BVI we offer FREE rendezvous diving with UBS, a very professional dive shop, for bespoke personal accompanied dives and training. See the Terms & Conditions on our website www.sy-pacificwave.com

Spa Treatments – at either Peter Island Resort or Bitter End Yacht Club get FREE pampering at a quality Spa. A free massage or any treatment up to a value of $150 per adult is included in our discounted charter fee

Free Bar – there are no additional bar bills on our BVI charters unless special wines or spirits are requested by special order.

Zoom Zoom Watersports – get very wet with our brand spanking new $25,000 deluxe hard bottom Caribe dinghy and 70 pony strong Yamaha outboard

Pacific Wave – Delivering the Promise

Newsletter #12 - October 1 2010

Hello,

Just to let you know that Pacific Wave and her crew are ‘fighting fit’ and raring to go for the new season. We’ve been busy through the summer in Trinidad doing routine exterior paintwork and interior varnishing, keeping Pacific Wave in that all important ‘tip top’ condition – ready to impress new and repeat charter guests in 2010/11.

During a short break in the UK Lynn scoured the best and most fashionable stores for new bikini’s, luxury Egyptian 600 count cotton linens, 700 gram towels, and lots of new season Molton Brown toiletries. Lynn also refreshed her ‘unlimited area’ ocean theory and astro-navigation. She’s unlikely to put this into practice on passages from Tortola to Peter Island but she can now ‘wow’ guests with her sextant and astrological position fixing. Our guests last season really enjoyed looking at the stars with our electronic star identifier. We are sure they will love learning from Lynn more traditional methods as well. In addition, although we were not required to do so as we were already compliant, we both chose to repeat and update our STCW 95 training. We are both MCA Master 200 ton unlimited area with commercial endorsements and current STCW 95. All in all, we’re on the ball.

Mark also took himself off to work with some very experienced chefs looking for new prize winning dishes. His new finds include: delicious home baked granola; a Panettone and vanilla bread and butter pudding; asparagus, garden peas, & French beans in a creamy risotto topped with grated parmesan and chopped mint; roasted fillet of grouper smeared in a sundried tomato and basil paste wrapped in Parma ham. We are determined to continue our reputation for award winning first class dining.

We splash the boat here in Trinidad mid-October and head directly to a Grenadines charter before going to the BVI show and the USVI show. We are still available for Thanksgiving in the BVI but due to a charter at the end of November you will not see us at the Antigua show this year. Look out for our full advertisement on the back cover of Charter Index Winter 2010 edition, available at the Antigua show. We now have confirmed bookings for Christmas and New Year.  We are however still available for Spring Break and Easter 2011 in the BVI.

Regards,

Lynn and Mark

Newsletter #10 - July 7 2010

Hello,

It is now two years ago since we purchased Pacific Wave and as we start planning for our third charter season with her we would like to update you on our current status and plans for the future.

We have recently had our annual re-inspection by an MCA surveyor and we are pleased to say that we have passed with flying colours. Although proper coding is obviously a pre-requisite for charter we make no apologies for making a big thing about how Pacific Wave was said by the surveyor to be a great credit to us.  As one recent charter guest said, “the fact that you were UK red flagged was a big part of our decision to book you”.  He didn’t know the complexities of coding or what might be involved but he was taking his family on a sailing vacation and he knew that we would have to conform to high standards of regulation and safety equipment.  He wasn’t wrong.

Pacific Wave we be having her annual haul out and maintenance work undertaken over the next few months.  She will be ready again for charter in October with all new luxury embroidered Egyptian cotton bed linen & towels, we renew these each year to ensure total luxury for the guests. We are also taking the opportunity to upgrade our air conditioning systems with high output pumps.

Pacific Wave will be available for charter as follows:

BVI/USVI (or other Caribbean islands)– 1 November 2010 – 30 June 2011

Grenadines – 1 July – 31 July 2011

For charters in the BVI we are offering a Free Ships Bar and Free Diving (subject to T&C's as detailed on our website).

We look forward to hearing from you!

Regards

Lynn & Mark

NEWSLETTER #9 - April 22 2010

Hello

I just wanted to remind you that Pacific Wave is available for charter in the glorious Caribbean until 31 July 2010, as follows:

Now until 30 June - anywhere in the Caribbean

1 - 31 July - Grenadines only

The Caribbean is absolutely fabulous especially during the next 3 months when all of the boats have left for the Med & US.  All of the anchorages are nice and quiet, the seas at this time are really calm (ideal for non-sailors) and turquoise in colour, with enough breeze to sail, and the temperature is wonderful!  Not to mention it's a lot cheaper to holiday in the Caribbean rather than the Med.

We will be available again from:

22 - 31 October - Grenadines

1 November - 30 June 2011 - BVI/USVI or anywhere in the Caribbean

We are still offering a $1,500 discount on all contracts signed by 31st July, for charters prior to 31st December 2010, including Thanksgiving & New Year.  We offer a free ships bar and free Diving (subject to T&C's) for BVI/USVI charters.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Regards

Lynn & Mark
