On Saturday, violence erupted across Israel and Gaza in one of the worst conflicts the region has seen in decades, according to The New York Times. After Hamas militants began launching thousands of rockets and infiltrating Israeli towns early Saturday morning, the conflict has continued to escalate, with Israel’s military responding with massive air strikes. The violence has left thousands dead, according to CNN. Thousands more are injured on both sides.
Sleep On A Yacht And Explore French Polynesia, It’s More Affordable Than You Think
21.09.2023 - 19:09 / forbes.com / Bora Bora / Leonardo Dicaprio
If you’ve always thought that a vacation on a yacht was out of reach, only available for the super-rich and famous, then think again. You don’t have to be Jay Z or Beyoncé, David or Victoria Beckham, or Leonardo Dicaprio to indulge in a week-long holiday at sea. A yacht charter is more affordable, and less exclusive, than you might believe.
Choices abound with Dream Yacht Worldwide, founded in the Seychelles by Loic Bonnet in 2000. Offering sailing vacations around the planet, in more than 50 destinations, including the Caribbean, Bahamas, Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Asia, Americas and Europe, simply select your desired locale and lock in your personalized adventure.
French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France, is one of the most popular destinations to visit to take advantage of a charter. Direct long-haul flights to Tahiti or Bora Bora are available from Los Angeles or Seattle with the colorful Air Tahiti Nui in either business, premium, or economy classes—you’ll find the care and service to be top-notch regardless of which seat you’re in. Once you arrive, you’ll explore the South Pacific Ocean’s Society Islands—Tahiti, Huahine, Raiatea, Taha’a, Bora Bora—where your days will be filled with snorkeling, kayaking, standup paddleboarding, visits to pearl and vanilla farms, and up-close encounters with manta rays, black-tip reef sharks, stingrays, and, if you’re lucky, humpback whales.
Depending on your budget, sailing skill level, and interest, select the charter type that works for you, whether you would be traveling with friends and family in tow, and a private charter makes more sense, or you’d prefer a single cabin reservation where you can make new friends.
The Fully Crewed option, for example, includes your own private 62-foot catamaran, with room for up to 12 passengers in six cabins, each with their own full bathroom. A professional chef will make all of your meals and a captain will lead the way so that all you have to do is take in the sunshine and decide if you want to go for a swim. Week-long charter rental prices are dependent on season and availability; however, you can expect to pay between $18,000—$35,000. Divide that between 12 passengers and you’re looking at around $1,500 and $2,900 per person, or $214—$414 per night.
Another option is to reserve a single private cabin with a bathroom, which includes a two-person crew, all meals and beverages, and water sports. The Bora Bora Premium Saturday cruise, which is eight days and seven nights, takes you on a thrilling tour of Raiatea, Taha’a, Huahine, and Bora Bora islands. Prices range from around $1,200—$3,200 for the week-long luxury adventure.
When you factor in all meals created by a private chef, water activities, a
