Why Renting a Captained Sailing Yacht is a Better Alternative to the Summer Beach Rental
Summertime…and the living is easy…..
Thoughts of Summer are upon us. For some people the desire to “catch some rays” while sitting on a beach near salt water dominate many peoples thoughts. Whether it is day trip, a weekend or a week, the water pulls crowds of people living near the coasts for some much needed rest, relaxation and tranquility.
It’s 9am, you choose your perfect beach spot, you hear the water and the seabirds, smell the salt air…...aaaah. Then by 10:30am (especially on Fridays through Sundays) the beaches become crowded and now you hear many different radios playing music and lots of conversations while everyone scrambles to get their piece of “paradise”.
What if you could be waterfront 100% of the time with just your family or a few friends; no crowds, no loud radios; with all the swimming and relaxing you want as well as whatever view you want?
That is what you will get (and more) when you take a captained sailing charter on Chesapeake Bay.
There is a reason people like to sail—to get away from it all. Here are just some of the benefits and experiences you can get on Shardana Sailing Charters.
Freedom to Choose—no tour guides, no deadlines, no rushing to catch that train and no late checkout fees. Just you, your skipper and open water – the possibilities are endless. You can sail away anytime you want, visit any place you like and completely design your own itinerary.
Experience the water your way—traveling on your own private boat with your own private licensed captain is a completely relaxing experience, and each day you’ll will feel relaxed, comfortable and totally carefree. The sailing lifestyle is simple and very laid back; you do not need to pack a lot to have. great time.
Privacy—spending time on the water on your own private boat will give you and your group – whether friends, family or both – the ultimate privacy. Hotels are usually crowded with people and rarely do you find a place where you get to be alone outside your hotel room. The Chesapeake Bay isn’t crowded and when you sail on your own boat you have the privacy to do anything you want.
You can choose to sleep on deck gazing up at the starry night sky or head to a secluded cove to swim and then for a picnic lunch or BBQ. When you do feel like enjoying a little personal interaction you can anchor at a town or harbor to experience what life on the Chesapeake bay is like. Enjoy meal at local restaurants and shop before returning to your comfortable home on the water. S/V Shardana is fully equipped with a generator and air conditioning for your comfort. You can learn more about the boat and it’s amenities here.
The Scenery—Nothing beats gazing across the Chesapeake Bay and admiring the stunning views. You’ve got a viewpoint all your own. From secluded creeks and coves to beaches, you’ll have it all at your fingertips. Of course you can swim or go for a hike to see the beautiful views on land, but when you’re traveling by water every move you make will be beautiful.—especially the sunsets.
Traveling by water opens up a world of activities. You’re still able to climb ashore and take part in everything the mainland has to offer and now you’ve got all those water-based activities at your disposal without having to pay anything extra. You can spend an idle afternoon reading your favorite book while gazing out at the horizon or take part in exciting activities like swimming, paddle boarding, fishing, and more.
