NAPLES, Fla. (WINK) — Naples Nantucket Yacht Group is making it possible to trade the ordinary day on land for a private yacht, a Gulf breeze and, honestly, the kind of afternoon that makes you question why you don't do this every weekend.
Yacht ownership comes with a long list of expenses, from maintenance and storage to fuel and upkeep. But enjoying a day on the water does not have to mean making that commitment.
Naples Nantucket Yacht Group offers private yacht charters in Naples, giving visitors and locals the opportunity to experience a luxury day on the Gulf without owning a boat.
Based in downtown Naples, Naples Nantucket Yacht Group specializes in luxury, private yacht charters with experiences customized around each group. Guests can choose from half-day, full-day and multi-day charters, with yachts ranging from about 35 feet to 131 feet.
Owner Bill Charbonneau said yachting is a social event, " I can't think of a better way to hang out with my family and friends than on the boat. “Naples Nantucket Yacht Group offers more people the opportunity to experience yachting without owning a yacht of their own.”
The company builds each charter around what guests want to do, whether that's sightseeing through Naples Bay and Port Royal, spending the day swimming, enjoying a sunset cruise or heading somewhere a little farther away. The team can also help customize the food, activities and itinerary.
And yes, there are some seriously fun extras.
Guests can add water toys, tender service, VIP transportation and even a Champagne and caviar experience for the full luxury treatment. Don't forget the water toys!
Today, the company offers charters in Southwest Florida and beyond, including destinations in the Bahamas and seasonal locations along the Northeast coast.
So whether you're celebrating a birthday, planning a girls' day, looking for a romantic getaway or simply want to pretend you're living your best yacht-life fantasy for a few hours, Naples Nantucket Yacht Group has a pretty convincing argument for getting out on the water.
Because sometimes the best way to spend a day in Naples is to make the Gulf your backyard.
