What people are saying

“Canvas Yacht Charters and Doug are a pleasure to work with. Doug’s follow-up skills are remarkable and attention to detail are bar none. I very rarely leave reviews, but I can, without a doubt, recommend Canvas and Doug to everyone I know. Thanks again D!”

“We recently celebrated our 25th anniversary with three other couples, our dearest friends, on a week-long sailing charter. The trip was arranged by Doug Tibbs at Canvas Yacht Charters, and his assistance was invaluable every step of the way. He listened to our dreams for the trip, the things we were really hoping for and things we wanted to avoid, non-negotiates and crazy ideas, and he filtered them all to present us with several charter options, any one of which would have been wonderful, but we ended up on Ghost. Doug’s attention didn’t stop with the booking. He made sure we were kept aware of various important deadlines, including changes related to covid, connected us with the crew and conveyed to them all our preferences, and was available throughout to answer our big and small questions. This was truly the trip of a lifetime for every one of us onboard—the boat, the crew, the sailing, the food, the adventure. So many thanks to Doug for his care to make it everything we dreamed it could be—and we are already hoping to plan a repeat trip for next year!”

“It’s not often that I end up leaving a review for a service I didn’t end up booking, but the super customer service I received from Heather at Starrluxe definitely merits noting. From the first step in the process, she was helpful, professional, and extremely accommodating despite a difficult itinerary and an expedited time frame. She provided excellent options and went out of her way to address our every requirement. I deeply regret that our travel plans changed and we weren’t able to finalize our charter, but I greatly look forward to working with Starrluxe again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Enjoyed working with Doug. He was attentive to our needs/desires. Got us a great boat with a great crew. He even got us a price reduction. I will look forward to working with him again.”

“Doug and his team helped us book a trip in two days for the following week. Great communications and expectation setting, which helped make the trip successful. We will recommend them to family and friends for their trips. -Cheers, John”

Range of yachts in attendance, my favourites yachts at the newport charter show 2024, crews in attendance at the newport charter show 2024, outstanding boats at the newport charter show 2024, overall summary of the newport charter show 2024.

The Newport Charter Show 2024 hosted unique and luxurious yachts available for charter in the Americas. In addition to having the opportunity to observe and explore the boats was a truly unique experience for me. There was a wide selection of yachts in attendance. Moreover all with their own unique qualities and characteristics, each one was an experience to visit.

The range of boats and their different attributes was the most interesting part of the viewing experience. Furthermore there truly is something for everyone. Ranging in taste, style and colour schemes to the layout of the boat, water toys and the social capacity. There are almost unlimited options for what clients could want, thus the importance of our jobs as charter brokers stands out.

There are certain calibers of boats that were very modern and contemporary, they were built for a certain clientele. M/Y Chasseur comes to mind immediately, with its clean lines and impeccable attention to detail in every aspect, there is a certain client to fit with what Chasseur has to offer. We were offered their cocktail for the competition–a frozen dark and stormy.

The crew fit the style and elegance of the boat as well, friendly and warm, but also attentive and a little reserved.

I would say M/Y Acta is similar in this way, a similar atmosphere of the crew, and air of prestige when viewing the boat. Done in a more traditional style, Acta is opulent and classy and again, no expense spared.

I think the crew is extremely dedicated to the image and reputation of Acta, notably the stewardesses and their incredibly detailed work, for example the tablescaping in the main dining room.

On the other end of the spectrum, and a personal favourite is M/Y Nadan, which was just as impressive as any of the other boats but had so much character and personality built into the foundation that shone through while on our tour.

The Chief Stewardess, who led the tour, was incredibly knowledgeable about all the specs of the yacht, and the unique history that I personally find as a selling point to clients. Nadan had a very different energy that most of the other boats did not have, so it was definitely a yacht that is unlike any other.

Another important aspect of observation on the boats was the variation in crews. The way the crew functions and works together as a team is integral to the image of the yacht. Moreover for the duration of the charter, so being able to observe the crew in a working atmosphere was valuable.

M/Y Vivace and Hoya Saxa had crews that were very welcoming, warm and friendly, easy going and easy to get along with. The chief stew on Vivace was incredibly knowledgeable of the yacht. In fact she and her partner have been on since its launch; and brought a good energy to the rest of the crew.

It was also apparent the crew was very dedicated and detail oriented. Furthermore they won the tablescaping competition, and their chef did very well in the chef’s competition too. On the other hand, the crews on M/Y Lexington and M/Y Freedom had a very different atmosphere on board. It was a bit informal and casual.

Both of the lunches I had were interesting experiences, not negatively, but I see now that it is crucial to experience dining aboard. You really do see things from a potential guest perspective from service level and skill to food quality and presentation. Aboard M/Y Hoya Saxa I had a really good 2 course lunch.

The unique combination of flavours of the lobster and short rib were really good, but presentation could have been improved. I believe all brokers I dined with thought the same.

My luncheon aboard M/Y FiFi was an entirely different experience. We dined with the captain and around 10 other brokers. There were some hiccups from the stews while we were dining. In fact I think the crew was green so for FiFi, there was definitely room for service to be improved. However each course tasted good.

For me it was important to attend the luncheons. The experience gave me much more insight into what to look for when viewing and dining aboard the yachts.

Some of the standout boats for me were M/Y Namastay and M/Y Timeless. They both had personable and knowledgeable crews which were the …. for me personally. Being able to bond with Captain Jenna aboard Timeless about Maine, sailing and guest experiences was really valuable. Captain Jenna spoke during the seminar at the end of the show about yachting in Maine.

She stated how there is so much for guests to explore around a relatively undiscovered location in New England.

She has a wealth of knowledge and I would really like to be more involved in her trips up and around Maine.

Aboard Namastay, they had a feeling and image they wanted to portray. It is a sense of relaxation, comfort and peace; and they succeeded. Through the aromas of the diffusers on board, the artwork and decor. Health and wellness/holistic practice is a unique approach to a yacht charter. And I believe potential clients would benefit from the kind of charter that Namastaycan offer.

We had a really diverse group of yachts in attendance at the Newport Charter Show 2024. From classic yachts, smaller yachts designed for small groups of friends or family. And modern, spacious yachts with anything you could need onboard. Additionally there were also a great group of yacht chefs. In fact each with their own take and style to dishes and their ingredients that makes each yacht charter special.

Even though small, the Newport Charter Show was a fantastic glimpse into the variety of yachts for charter available in North America. In addition to the Caribbean. In addition it was held at the world famous Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard in historic Newport, Rhode Island .

How to Charter a Boat

If you want to sail off into the sunset, at least temporarily, you need to understand how to get aboard first.

By Lauren Sloss

This time of year, it’s an inevitable thought: Life would be that much better out on the water. Specifically, on a boat.

Even if you have neither a boat nor boating experience, it’s never been easier to make your nautical dreams come true — whether you want a day trip on your local lake or a fully staffed multiday voyage in a far-flung locale. Here are the initial questions that will help you plan an adventure on the water.

Whom are you traveling with?

Thinking about the size and dynamic of your group is an important first step, even if you are simply going on a day trip. Will children be on board? How old? What about elderly parents?

Dan Lockyer, the chief commercial officer of Dream Yacht Worldwide , strongly encourages travelers to determine group size — and, ideally, get people committed — before booking.

“The location that you want to go to, the time of year that you want to go, the type of boat that you want will entirely depend on the makeup of the group that you’re sailing with,” Mr. Lockyer said.

Do you want to captain, or do you want a captain?

Different charter companies specialize in certain locations, types of boats, itineraries and services. Some companies offer the opportunity for a “bareboat” charter, in which you rent the boat and take on the navigation and provisioning yourself, while others exclusively offer fully staffed options, including a captain and a cook.

If you want to captain the boat yourself, almost all outfits require some kind of proof of sailing or boating experience, often in line with local regulations.

Edward King, 45, an executive at a streaming company based in San Francisco, is experienced in sailing the city’s waterways. But on vacation, he said he would prefer to let a captain and crew take the lead.

Mr. King said he appreciates a captain who is familiar with both the local waters — “they’ll know how to avoid sailing into a certain sandbar,” he said, — as well as the local attractions.

In contrast, Matt Blake, 38, a software engineer based in Oakland, Calif., was eager to grow his sailing experience during a recent trip to La Paz, Mexico, with his fiancée. He hired a captain but made clear that the captain was there to help and teach.

Where do you want to go?

“Do you want something that’s more culturally oriented? Nature oriented? An adventure trip?” asked Mary Curry, the voyage product director of Adventure Life , which offers small group tours and private trips on land and on water around the world.

That answer can determine your destination. Popular cruising grounds include the Caribbean, Croatia, Alaska and French Polynesia, but the sky — or the sea — is really the limit. For help narrowing your focus, travel advisers often have relationships with charter companies or outfits around the world, and sailing publications offer recommendations.

Kyla Malkani, who has had experience with charters working as a destination wedding planner, recommends consulting the concierge of waterfront hotels, particularly for short-term or day rentals.

“A lot of times they will have either their own fleet or they will have some sort of connection at a dock,” said Ms. Malkani, 37, who is based in Washington, D.C., and is currently working as a content creator and freelance event planner.

What kind of boat?

Where you want to travel and for how long will likely determine the kinds of boats that are available to you. Crucial at this point, too, is an understanding of the boat’s layout and amenities.

“You definitely want to choose the right kind of boat,” said Ms. Malkani. “If you want more adventure, a sailboat is nice. If you’re looking for a luxury party environment, a yacht is best. And if you’re looking for something smooth, for older people or with kids, a catamaran is great.”

David Barclay is a luxury travel adviser who has also chartered boats for his own vacations.

“You want to match what the travelers want to what the boat offers,” he said.

Perhaps a group of friends might not mind a catamaran with functional but not luxurious marine bathrooms, but a multigenerational group might prefer more high-touch amenities.

When should I book?

Often, charter trips are once-in-a-lifetime experiences that require a great deal of advanced planning.

“You may have a specific place you want to go, or a specific time of year you want to travel,” said Mr. Barclay. “And some places just aren’t good at certain times of year.”

Naturally, you don’t want to be at sea in the Caribbean during hurricane season, or in the Mediterranean during winter storms. But you also might want to avoid peak cruising seasons, too.

The first three weeks of August are quite popular, said Mr. Lockyer. “If you have some flexibility and can travel in early July, you’ll get the same sort of great weather, a greater selection of boats and the anchorages won’t be as crowded.”

How much does it cost?

Charter costs are incredibly variable, dependent on all of the factors coming into play: your boat type and size, your destination, your group size, the amount of crew you’d like and the amenities on board. That said, costs could range anywhere from $2,000 for a day on a sailboat to hundreds of thousands of dollars for a multiday mega-yacht charter. Have a budget in mind when beginning your research process.

What if I didn’t plan far in advance?

While advanced planning is encouraged, and often necessary for bigger boat trips, it’s possible to book a boat last-minute.

Boatsetter , an Airbnb-like platform for boats, is a good resource for last-minute bookings, especially for day trips, and even has an Instant Book option for down-to-the-wire bookings.

“If it’s for a special event, or around major holidays, you may want to book a month or two in advance. But for general bookings, you can find options within a week or two,” said Kim Koditek, Boatsetter’s head of brand strategy and communications, of the company’s overnight offerings, which appear on their platform under the luxury yacht charters category .

Ms. Malkani has used Boatsetter for some of her charters, most of which have been booked with a specific goal in mind.

“I’m a sunset chaser,” she said. “My husband and I just really love being on the water, and we always try to squeeze in some sort of boat day activity when we’re traveling.”

Best Fishing Spots in Washington

Table of Contents

Last Updated on July 17, 2024 by Boatsetter Team

From the glacial waters of the Cascade Mountains to the sun-drenched lakes of Eastern Washington, the Evergreen State offers year-round fishing opportunities. The state’s fishing legacy made headlines in 1987, when biologists at the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife hauled out one of the biggest fish ever seen in Lake Washington — a massive white sturgeon weighing 670 pounds. Estimated to be up to 100 years old, this remarkable catch underscores the exceptional potential of these waters. Whether you’re after trophy-sized sturgeon, or hard-fighting bass, the best fishing lakes in Washington promise the chance to reel in your next big catch.

Best Fishing Lakes in Washington

Lake chelan.

Nestled in the heart of Washington, Lake Chelan is a 55-mile long fjord-like lake renowned for its crystal-clear waters and abundant fish population. Anglers flock here for the chance to catch lake trout, also known as mackinaw, which can grow to impressive sizes of 20 pounds or more. Kokanee salmon and rainbow trout also thrive here, providing year-round fishing opportunities. The best time of year to plan a fishing trip in Lake Chelan are spring and fall when the water temperatures are optimal for fish activity. Lake Chelan can reach depths of over 1,500 feet in some areas, challenging anglers to hone their deep-water fishing skills.

Moses Lake is a warm-water fishery popular among bass anglers. The lake boasts an impressive population of largemouth and smallmouth bass, with many trophy-sized fish lurking in its waters. Walleye and yellow perch are also abundant, offering diverse fishing opportunities. Spring and early summer are prime times for bass fishing, while fall can be excellent for walleye. Moses Lake’s shallow, weedy areas provide ideal habitats for fish, making it a perfect spot for both shore and boat fishing.

Lake Washington

Lake Washington is just a 10-15 minute drive from Seattle, offering city dwellers a chance unique fishing experiences right at home. The lake is home to coastal cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, largemouth and smallmouth bass, yellow perch, and even salmon during certain times of the year. Spring and fall are particularly good for trout fishing, while summer months are ideal for bass. One of Lake Washington’s unique features is the opportunity to fish for sockeye salmon during their summer run. The lake’s urban setting provides a distinctive backdrop, with the Seattle skyline visible from many fishing spots.

Lake Roosevelt

Formed by the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River, the Lake Roosevelt offers  diverse fishing opportunities. The lake is known for its excellent rainbow trout fishing, with many fish reaching 5 pounds or more. Walleye, smallmouth bass, and kokanee salmon also thrive in these waters. Spring and fall are prime seasons for most species, but Lake Roosevelt offers good fishing year-round. During the winter months, fishing here provides the chance to catch burbot, a freshwater cod-like fish often described as having a mild, sweet flavor similar to lobster or crab.

Whether you’re casting a line in the shadow of Mount Rainier or trolling the deep waters of Lake Chelan, fishing in Washington is an adventure not to be missed. With proper planning and respect for local regulations, anglers can enjoy these bountiful waters year-round, making the most of the state’s rich aquatic resources.

If you want a sneak peek before the September show, the elaborate 400-footer with its Nemo lounge and massive duplex owner's suite, is available for weekly charter for $3.25 million.

The latest Kismet will make its public debut at the Monaco Yacht Show in late September. For now, it’s chartering in the Med, either with owner Shahid Khan or with guests willing to pay about $3.25 million per week.

The current 400-foot Kismet is a supersized, more refined version of the last vessel, with the same features and even more extravagance, including an underwater Nemo lounge (a bubble in the bottom of the hull for seeing marine life) beneath the cinema, a duplex owner’s suite, a Balinese-inspired spa, and a retro, neon dance floor. Oh, and the jaguar on the bow is permanent this time.

The boat, which accommodates up to 12 guests in 8 staterooms, has a crew of 37. But for social events, it can hold dozens of people, including dining options for 24 on the upper deck, 18 on the main deck and 14 on both the top and pool decks.

It’s the third boat for Khan by Lürssen, which builds the world’s largest superyachts. “The yacht has exceeded all expectations of the client,” noted Peter Lürssen, the firm’s managing partner.

Beyond the amenities, including a DJ station, a custom Boganyi grand piano, a teppanyaki cooking station, and many others, it has a hybrid diesel-electric power train. That hybrid system makes it one of the world’s largest vessels that can go into full-electric mode in eco-sensitive areas, while also having features like a heat-recovery system for heating the pools.

Last year, Khan was supposed to meet with journalists at Monaco to discuss Kismet and his career as a yacht owner, but the then- Kismet (renamed Whisper ) sold just before the show, so that never happened.
