Where do we start???? We have been cooped up for months due to covid, but my husband decided we needed to do something fun and different. We never chartered a Yacht before, but decided it sounded like fun, though we had no idea what to really expect. We just wanted to have a day out of our house with our two kids. The broker who sold the yacht to us, gave us the options to charter several other yachts but after looking at the website we picked the 80 Lazzara. She offered 4, 6 or 8 hours. We picked 4 hours, even though the broker was pushing for 6 or 8. My husband really didn't know if the kids and I would enjoy it.
After getting on board, and having the crew give us a tour, we were super impressed how beautiful the yacht was and how nice and accommodating the crew was. Once we got settled in, the captain drove the boat to a local place(don't remember the name) where we would anchor. The first 3 hours of jet skiing, fishing, snorkeling and playing with some of the water toys flew by so fast. When the captain said we would be heading back to the dock in about 30 minutes, I was disappointed we didn't book the boat longer, and I could tell by our kids faces, that we needed to see if we could extend our charter. Unfortunately the yacht had another charter after ours, and we could not stay. We were all sad that the day had to end.
On the way back to the dock the captain received a phone call and we heard him say, "No problem, the guests on the boat will be excited with the news". The captain told us that the charter after us just cancelled do to one of the guests contracting covid. The captain asked us how much longer we wanted our charter to be extended, and without hesitation, my husband and I both said, "4 more hours". We were all so excited to go back to having fun doing some of the other things we hadn't done. Our kids loved when the captain took them for a ride on the ski tender, and after they played in the water with the various water toys, they asked the captain if they could get into the hot tub. After a full day on the water, we all sat in the hot tub as a family, all with drinks in our hands and big smiles on our face. What a great day!!!!!!
We are looking forward to booking another family day on the water with the same incredible crew who made a great day on the water a day that our family will never forget.
Thank you so much!!!!! See you soon
