"I have often thought that trips were
something we did and needed to recharge our batteries for work.
However, the week my wife and me spent aboard the Frangines changed
that philosophy entirely. We now believe we work to support our
trips. Three months after returning I can still close my eyes and
gain the tranquility of waking up in a quiet cove, snorkeling before
breakfast and then spending the day relaxing in the sun while
sailing to the next little known treasure of an anchorage. Other
than the location(U.S. and British Virgin Islands) and the weather
(tropical) we would have to say the three things set the Frangines
apart are: 1. The crew; the captain and his 1st mate/chef (also his
wife) made you feel completely welcome and extremely pampered.
Neither food or drink ( both first rate) were ever more than a few
steps away. 2. the boat itself; Imagine taking a suite at that Ritz
Carlton and putting sails on it. 3. The intimacy; For those that
have chartered take whatever great experience you have had and
consider a multiple of three. For those who haven't "Yes
Virginia there is a Santa Claus".
