 Los Roques. San Blas. Galapagos. Bora Bora. Tonga. Fiji. Palau. Chartering Fellow Traveler provides a unique opportunity to experience first hand some of the most exotic places on Earth in the comfort of a superb yacht. I realize that I am biased, but to my mind there is no better way to visit an archipelago than by sailboat. On Fellow Traveler one can spend every night at a different location, anchored beside pristine beaches and undeveloped islands, or perhaps a local village that is hosting a festival. Each day she slips over the waves, transporting us to our next destination using the wind for propulsion. Perhaps for lunch we will anchor at a remote reef to snorkel..  All of our trips offer a variety of activities including sailing, snorkeling, beach combing, swimming, and visits to quaint island villages. Those interested in scuba diving, either beginner or experienced, can arrange dives on their charter by contacting us in advance. These dive programs will be led by certified dive masters from the locations we are visiting. Of course, there is lots of time to just relax, enjoy the scenery, read or chat with friends, both those that came with you and new ones met along the way.  Fellow Traveler is not like most charter yachts. The trend in chartering is towards mega-yachts, offering every luxury and amenity found at a luxury resort. While this might sound appealing, there are some drawbacks as well. First, obviously, is the price. Such charters run into tens of thousands of dollars a week. I have made every attempt to keep my charters affordable to the average person, significantly below what equivalent yachts typically charter for. Beyond cost, though, the super-luxury charters are limited by their very super-luxury status. They can not stray far from the nearest gourmet grocery, 5-star restaurant, or fine wine cellar. Thus, these yachts are typically found in the Brittish Virgins Islands, Antigua, New England, or the Med. Beautiful places, certainly, but hardly remote or unexplored. Having worked in the Virgin Islands for years, I can tell you that every harbor becomes a veritable city of charter boats each night. Personally, when I sail, I prefer not to share my "remote, uninhabited anchorage" with 200 other yachts. I try to offer charters that are equally removed from the chartering hot-spots. On Fellow Traveler, the emphasis is on adventurous travel to the more remote, unspoiled places around the globe on a safe, comfortable vessel, not on overly-pampered, extremes of luxury.  I am not in the charter-business full-time. I charter Fellow Traveler partly to suplement my income, and also because I like sharing the beautiful places I know or hope to discover with amiable, interesting people. I do not have a mortgage to pay off, and do not live an expensive lifestyle. My aim is to charter between five and ten weeks a year. This means you are not just another person passing through the "revolving companionway," but a "fellow traveler" sharing the adventure. When you charter Fellow Traveler the trip is catered to your needs and desires. The captain and any crew will always respect you and your privacy. We can and do accomodate people of any race, religion, sexual orientation and age. If you desire, your charter may be "clothing optional."
