I love travel. When my husband and I got married traveling was part of the deal. We’ve been blessed in many ways, but one specific blessing has been our ability to travel and share experiences. As our kids grew, we did the standard Disney World, Disney Land, Lego Land, theme parks and beaches, but I wanted to find something truly amazing – something exclusive – something adventurous.
The ads in my travel magazines for private yacht excursions kept getting my attention. I thought that a private charter yacht was too expensive and out of reach. However, after 40+ hours of searching for private charters on the Internet, I found our family’s greatest adventure. We chartered a crewed catamaran with a lovely couple touring the British Virgin Islands. We don’t sail and my husband is leery of cruises, but after hours of research and the guidance of a wonderful yacht broker that helped me through the process, we spent seven days island hopping and adventuring in the BVI. It was the vacation of a life-time.
A vacation of a life-time that I wanted to try again the next year. So, we spent 10 days traveling the US and Spanish Virgin Islands in 2012. This trip confirmed my instincts. There is no better place to relax, no better place to enjoy the beauty God has surrounded us with and no better place to vacation than the Islands. We looked at villas on the Islands, but realized that the Virgin Islands from a yacht liberated us to St. John one day and Jost Van Dyke the next.
So, we stepped outside of our comfort zone and bought Flip Flop, a 46 foot catamaran. Crazy name, but I’ve always told my husband I want to retire in the Islands so I can wear flip flops everyday, and the concept kind of stuck. It’s a little whimsical and fun, but what isn’t whimsical and fun in the Islands? Now, what we want is to share our amazing experiences with others by making Flip Flop an all-inclusive, exclusive alternative to the big pricey resorts.
So, welcome to Flip Flop. I would like to invite you to board our yacht and experience the vacation that inspired us to buy a Catamaran – and we can’t even sail.
